What was "millet" in ancient times? What does "country" mean? Ant New Village replied

Every feudal dynasty in ancient China regarded "country" as the foundation of its country and government. When watching historical film and television dramas, we saw that some emperors held sacrificial ceremonies to worship the "country". The so-called "country" is the collective name of "Taishe" and "Taiji". Among them, "Taishe" is the land god and "Taiji" is the valley god, both of which are the most important foundations of agricultural society.

In ancient China, agriculture was the foundation, so the land gods and the valley gods were the most important primitive admirers of the Chinese nation. The earth nourishes everything, and the valley nourishes people. Earth and valley are the most important and basic living conditions for people, and rulers naturally regard them as the source of political legitimacy. In ancient Chinese, "Guo" was often used to refer to the country or the imperial court. In fact, "millet" can also refer to a kind of grain. Do you know what this is? Is it rice or millet?

Small class topic in Ant Village: What was "millet" in ancient times?

Options: a, millet, b, rice.

In ancient times, millet was called "millet". Millet is a kind of millet with round or oval seeds. In northern China, millet is usually called "millet" and peeled millet is called "millet".

Because in ancient Chinese, those common crops can generally be used as a general term for grain or grain, so "millet" can actually refer to grain or grain. Because the grain of "millet" is very small, it is often used to refer to tiny things. For example, the idiom "longevity element" means to describe a small quantity. In addition, because "millet" can be used as a container, it is also the general term for grain. The salary of ancient officials was food, so "millet" also means salary.
