Extended information:

Jiangnan in a broad sense includes the areas south of the Yangtze River in six provinces and one city of Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan. Compared with Jiangnan Road in Tang Dynasty, there is less part involving Guizhou Province. Northern Fujian is sometimes called Jiangnan. Jiangnan in a broad sense has a vast area and diverse landforms, so it is often regarded as "the Great Jiangnan", which is roughly consistent with the scope of Jiangnan in meteorology.

Four rice markets and four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are all located in the south of the Yangtze River. This area includes the famous three mountains, three rivers and three lakes-Qiantang River and Taihu Lake in Huangshan, Ganjiang River and Poyang Lake in Lushan, Xiangjiang River in Hengshan and Dongting Lake. These three rivers and lakes are the birthplaces of Wuyue culture, Ganpo culture and Huxiang culture respectively. ?

the definition of "Great Jiangnan" began with the ancient division (Jiangnan Road), and it is often described in literary works. For example, Du Fu's on meeting li guinian down the river was written in Changsha. The Jiangnan referred to in the weather forecast is also roughly the generalized Jiangnan zone.
