When she died on July 16, 1557, it was as the late King Henry’s “beloved sister” and one of the highest-ranking and most beloved ladies in England.

The Chinese nation originated from the Yellow River, but why is the Yangtze River more important to us?
Originally, under the situation that the production technology had not yet been reformed and the population was concentrated in the Yellow River Basin, China’s political and economic center of gravity was in northern China, especially after the Zheng Guoqu was built by the Qin State. After hectares, the harvest is one acre. So Guanzhong is a fertile field, and the Qin is prosperous and strong, and the princes are the princes." The Guanzhong area of fertile fields has become a key area affecting the lifeline of the dynasty for hundreds of years. However, with the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the split of the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty and the Yongjia Rebellion, as well as the colder climate, the economic status of North China was constantly undermined. In the heyday of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was even more dependent on the canal to transport rice from the south of the Yangtze River to supply the prosperity of the capital of Chang'an. This is revealing the trend of the economic center of gravity shifting south.
