Northern Han Chinese people also known as Beifangren (Chinese: 北方人, literally Northerners) are the Han Chinese from North China. The line of division of Northern and Southern China is along the Qin Mountains (Chinese: 秦岭)-Huai River (Chinese: 淮河) Line. The Qin Mountains-Huai River Line also marks the approximate boundary between wheat and rice cultivation.
It has been suggested that Northern Chinese culture is more individualistic than southern culture because wheat cultivation requires less manpower.[1]
During the Yuan dynasty, subjects of the former Jurchen Jin dynasty, including Jurchens and Khitans were classified as "Han".[2]
