On the changes of Chinese agriculture

Since I read history, I have studied princes and generals in the early days, to discuss the economic system, to delve into the geography of mountains and rivers, and then to understand the history of Chinese agriculture.

I deeply feel that the historical context has a lot to do with the changes in crops.

For example, in the early days, I don't understand why during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kansai began to weaken and Kanto began to rise.

Later, when I learned about the history of agriculture, I realized that the widespread cultivation of wheat in the Kanto region may be one of the key points.

Kanto has three crops in two years, and Kansai has one crop a year, and this gap is undoubtedly huge over time. With a favorable economic foundation and feedback to the superstructure, the Kwantung scholars could have a huge voice in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Stone grinding is a seemingly small tool, which is difficult for the people of exclusive single-family households to use, but only clans and heroes can master it.

With the passage of time, these clans and heroes held scriptures in their hands and transformed into scholars and gate valves. In the land of Kanto over there, a large number of Kwantung clans such as Cui, Xun, Fan, and Huan may have been ordinary clans hundreds of years ago, but with the accumulation of the economy, they have the time to read the scriptures and learn the scriptures, and they have the right to speak, so they have gradually become a formidable gatekeeper.

When the wheat is spread to the south, it is cultivated in rotation with rice, forming a terrifying double cropping in one year. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the spread of double-cropping rice began, and even the three-cropping agriculture of double-cropping rice + wheat was formed.

With such a terrible economic generation gap, it is no accident that the south overwhelmed the north during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Even the collapse of the military system was related to the large cultivation of wheat in Guanzhong.

The historical context may be hidden in our food today!

He is shallow in his personal knowledge and is only a history buff.

It would be my honor if the content of rice and wheat rotation could give food to thought to those who like to read history.
