How does MySql use parent id to recursively query child nodes downwards?

No need to write stored procedures, no need to build database functions, just a piece of sql can be implemented

SELECT
	ID.LEVEL,
	DATA.* 
FROM
	(
	SELECT
		@ids AS _ids,
		( SELECT @ids := GROUP_CONCAT( region_id ) FROM region WHERE FIND_IN_SET(parent_id, @ids ) ) AS cids,
		@l := @l + 1 AS LEVEL 
	FROM
		region,
		( SELECT @ids := 3, @l := 0 ) b 
	WHERE
		@ids IS NOT NULL 
	) ID,
	region DATA 
WHERE
	FIND_IN_SET( DATA.region_id, ID._ids ) 
ORDER BY
	LEVEL

Test

--创建测试环境
create table t_test(
	id int PRIMARY key,
	parent_id int,
	name varchar(200)
)

insert t_test VALUES(1,null,"中国");

insert t_test VALUES(2,1,"华北");

insert t_test VALUES(3,2,"山西省");
insert t_test VALUES(4,2,"北京");

insert t_test VALUES(5,3,"临汾市");
insert t_test VALUES(6,4,"北京市");


insert t_test VALUES(7,5,"尧都区");
insert t_test VALUES(8,6,"朝阳区");

insert t_test VALUES(9,7,"解放西路");
insert t_test VALUES(10,8,"朝阳北路");


SELECT * FROM t_test;

Test data display

Query id=1, query what places are below China

SELECT
	ID.LEVEL,
	DATA.* 
FROM
	(
	SELECT
		@ids AS _ids,
		( SELECT @ids := GROUP_CONCAT( id ) FROM t_test WHERE FIND_IN_SET(parent_id, @ids ) ) AS cids,
		@l := @l + 1 AS LEVEL 
	FROM
		t_test,
		( SELECT @ids := 1, @l := 0 ) b 
	WHERE
		@ids IS NOT NULL 
	) ID,
	t_test DATA 
WHERE
	FIND_IN_SET( DATA.id, ID._ids ) 
ORDER BY
	LEVEL

id=3, check what places are under Shanxi

SELECT
	ID.LEVEL,
	DATA.* 
FROM
	(
	SELECT
		@ids AS _ids,
		( SELECT @ids := GROUP_CONCAT( id ) FROM t_test WHERE FIND_IN_SET(parent_id, @ids ) ) AS cids,
		@l := @l + 1 AS LEVEL 
	FROM
		t_test,
		( SELECT @ids := 3, @l := 0 ) b 
	WHERE
		@ids IS NOT NULL 
	) ID,
	t_test DATA 
WHERE
	FIND_IN_SET( DATA.id, ID._ids ) 
ORDER BY
	LEVEL

id=4, check what places are under Beijing

Finally, query down from the North China region with id=2
