Is Shandong a big province in China?

Economically, I sometimes hear people say that Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu are major economic provinces in China. So what is a big province? Is Shandong a big province in our country? I think it is at least one of the top five provinces in China, although it cannot exceed the top three provinces.

You will ask what the basis is, and then tell me my understanding of this topic.

What aspects does a big province include?

In fact, there are many kinds of opinions about big provinces, such as Guangdong, which is a big economic province mentioned earlier. In terms of GDP, there are also big provinces with population, resources, food and education.

The "big" in all aspects mentioned above means how big, how wide and how strong. If it is big in some way, it will naturally become stronger. Look at Shandong again!

How many "big" aspects are there in Shandong Province?

Major economic provinces:

In 20 18, the total economic output value of Shandong province reached 76,469.7 billion yuan, exceeding Zhejiang's 56 197 billion yuan, ranking third in the country. In the first half of this year, GDP also exceeded the 4 trillion mark, 4 16 trillion, still ranking third in the country, and it is a veritable economic province.

Middle reaches of Shandong:

According to my research, the area of Shandong in 34 provinces and cities in China is15.82 190,000 square kilometers, which is19 after Henan Province (1667.85 million square kilometers).

Provinces with a large population:

According to the data of the sixth national census in 20 10, China's population was more than 137 billion at that time, and Guangdong Province was the only province with a population of more than 100,000, reaching104.3 million, followed by Shandong Province with a population of 967936438+00, ranking the whole country.

Major grain-producing provinces:

Located in the North China Plain, the west of Shandong is the gathering place of peanuts, wheat and corn in China. It not only has high output, but also meets local demand, and is a national food supply place.

There are 13 major grain-producing provinces in China, among which the northeast is the place with the largest grain production, such as Liaoning and Jilin ranked in the top 4, Hebei has cultivated land in North China Plain, ranking second, and Shandong ranked third.

Resource-rich provinces:

Shandong has many advantageous natural asset resources, such as Dongying, known as the "oil city" of China, which is rich in oil and is one of the major oil-producing areas in China.

Zhaoyuan, Longkou and Laizhou in Shandong Province are cities with relatively large gold production, especially Zhaoyuan City, which has developed gold-related industries and is known as the "Gold Capital" of China.

Based on the above analysis, Shandong is still in the forefront of the country in terms of economy, resources, population and grain, and its comprehensive strength is quite strong.
