i have been intrigued by this a lot.
one huge reason china often lost to nomadics was chinese thought north was useless, nobody wanted to live there.
as you summarized, south had lots of veggies and fruits, north meats and dairies. of course food are easily perishable. ancestors long ago learnt to dry or salt, pickle them to made them last longer. and cheese could also lasted a while, especially in winter.
at least for middle or upper class, there should have beens ome interest in trade or business, i just find it hard to believe our ancestoras didn't want to eat beef, lamb or diaries. not even some brave ones wanted to try soem living in the north?
