[Forward] Reasons for the wealth gap between the north and south

That’s wrong. Iceland and Greenland had their names swapped after being discovered by pirates, out of fear that other people might arrive on the islands. Besides, you can fish on the island and sell the fish! ;P

Greenland is the largest island in the world, with an area of about 2.16 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-fourth of China’s area. Greenland has a very romantic name that inspires endless fantasies of beauty. Its English name is Greeland, which means \"the green continent.\" Whether looking at the Chinese translation or the original English meaning, it seems like an island that remains green all year round, filled with the charm of spring. In reality, Greenland is located within the Arctic Circle, and 90% of its land surface is covered by vast expanses of ice and snow. The climate there is extremely harsh, with absolute minimum temperatures reaching minus 70 degrees Celsius, making it the second coldest place on Earth after Antarctica. It seems to be an island that doesn’t live up to its name; then how does it have such a spring-like name? According to historical records, around the year 982, a Norman named Eric set out from Iceland with his companions in search of a new continent, only to accidentally discover a large island. After two summers of exploration, several flat areas were finally found along the southwestern coast of the island. These flat coastal areas are geographically protected from the Arctic winds, and they are covered with lush vegetation during the brief Arctic summer. 　　Faced with a desolate landscape covered in ice and snow all around, Erik affectionately named this coastal area covered in green vegetation \"Greenland,\" meaning \"green land.\" According to Icelandic accounts of ancient history, Erik attempted to lure people to this desolate ice plain using this \"friendly and inviting name\". As he wrote in his expedition diary, “If this place had a beautiful name, it would surely attract many people to come here.” ”And Eric is a robber; he does this just to attract people here so as to take advantage of the situation and rob them. Greenland gained official autonomy from Denmark on June 21, 2009, which was just a few days ago. Greenland boasts beautiful polar scenery, but if you take the name at face value and expect to find a sense of spring on the island, you’ll be deceived by \"Erik\". (The Pearl of the North – Iceland) Complementing Greenland is Iceland, an island country in the North Atlantic located between Greenland and Britain. The English name for Iceland is Iceland, which means \"land of ice.\" But this cold island name, which sounds like a place covered in ice for thousands of miles and blanketed in snow for miles around, is actually nothing like that at all. Iceland has an area of about 103,000 square kilometers. It features a cold-temperate marine climate that is highly variable. Affected by the North Atlantic Current, it is milder than other places at the same latitude. The average temperature in the capital, Reykjavik, is 11°C in July and -1°C in January, with an annual average temperature of 4.3°C. Compared to Greenland, Iceland is covered by ice and snow only to the extent of 1/8 of its area. The island has many volcanoes, which is why it has the highest number of hot springs. The Icelandic tundra is widespread, with grasslands accounting for 24%, which contributes to a well-developed livestock industry. Forests account for about 1.37%, mainly consisting of birch shrublands, and are found on the wind-sheltered and sunny slopes and valleys. In recent decades, many cold-resistant conifers from Europe and America have been introduced and are growing well. Iceland is also home to many fountains, waterfalls, lakes, and rapid rivers, making it a paradise for adventurers around the world. It seems that Iceland is a vibrant island, rather than a “frozen island” as its name might suggest. So where did this frightening and misleading island name come from? It is said that over a thousand years ago, a group of pirates who were the first to discover Iceland found it to be an excellent place. They buried treasures there, and in order to keep people away from this location, they named this fertile island “Iceland”. Today, Iceland is a highly developed country, boasting the fifth-highest GDP per capita in the world as well as the highest Human Development Index in the world. Compared to Greenland, Iceland seems more qualified to be called Greeland. (It is said that this is also false too; given America’s eccentric tendencies and the rapid progress in technology over the past 50 years, it would be strange if they hadn’t gone back to the moon.) Green Island is not green, and Iceland is not icy. Those who first discovered these two islands concealed the truth about them for their own interests; although the truth cannot always be hidden, the commonly accepted names of the islands have nevertheless been passed down. This shows that behind appearances often lies a truth that you are unaware of. The power of convention or habit is immense.

Don’t listen to him; he’s just poor. Don’t people wear down jackets in the winters along the Yangtze River? Don’t people wear cotton shoes in winter along the Yangtze River? In winter along the Yangtze River, do you dare to wear a shirt at home? Is it easier to catch a cold in humid weather during winter? Have you ever wrapped an ice pop in a cold blanket?

Hehe, this analysis makes quite some sense.....
