'''Northern China''' or '''North China''' ({{Zh|s= [[wikt:华|华]][[wikt:北|北]]|t= [[wikt:華|華]][[wikt:北|北]]|p=Huáběi}}; literally "China's north") is a [[geographical]] region of [[China]]. The heartland of North China is the [[North China Plain]], or the [[Yellow River Plain]]. North China is usually restricted to the northern part of [[China proper]] ([[inner China]] and excludes [[Xinjiang]] and often [[Manchuria]] and the [[Northeast China]].

The vast region in China from the [[Yellow River|Yellow River Valley]] south to the [[Yangtze|Yangtze River]] was the centre of Chinese empires and home to [[Confucianism|Confucian]] civilization. In prehistory and early history, the plain (Henan in particular) is considered the [[List of Neolithic cultures of China|origin of Chinese civilization]] in official Chinese history. The region cultivated wheat, and most speak Northern Chinese ([[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]]), which includes [[Beijing dialect]], which is largely the basis of [[Standard Chinese]] (Mandarin), the official language of the People's Republic of China (PRC). [[Jin Chinese]] and [[Mongolian language|Mongolian]] are also widely spoken. The region remains the political, military, and cultural center of the PRC.

==History==
{{expand section|date=December 2016}}
