What was the main food of ancient people?

In the pre-Qin period, rice, millet (yellow rice), millet (millet), wheat and waxy beans were the main rations, supplemented by other grains. In the following years, traditional grain may gradually disappear and new varieties appear from time to time.

2. Han and Tang Dynasties

There is also an aquatic plant called Zizania latifolia, which is eaten by people in China. In autumn, yellow flowers bloom and bear black seeds, and rice is milled and shelled into white rice, which is called "carved humus rice".

3. Song Dynasty

In the Song Dynasty, Zizania latifolia gradually withered, on the one hand, because the yield was low and the maturity time was different, on the other hand, because Zizania latifolia would grow into a sweet and crisp Zizania latifolia if it was infected with bacteria before fruiting. People in Song Dynasty cultivated Zizania latifolia, but the seeds were often hoed off, and carving Hu rice gradually became a legend.

4. Late Ming Dynasty

With the opening of new air routes, American crops were introduced. During Zheng De's period, corn was introduced to China and planted in coastal areas, which was gradually popularized in Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Wanli period, sweet potato was introduced into Luzon (Philippines). China businessman Chen Zhenlong saw it and wanted to take it back to China. The Luzon government banned the export of sweet potato seeds.

5. Shang and Zhou Dynasties

Wheat originated in the two river basins and was introduced to China very early, which was highly valued by our ancestors. Before Kim drowned in the toilet, he wanted to eat a bowl of rice made of new wheat. Soybean is produced in the northeast of China, and it is said that it was obtained from the northern expedition in Shanrong, Qi Huangong, so the early soybean was called "Ronglu".
