Extended data:

The Loess Plateau is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. Neolithic cultural sites are widely distributed in the southern part of the Loess Plateau, especially in Wei Fen Valley and western Henan. At that time, people made a living by fishing, hunting and gathering, indicating that the southern part of the Loess Plateau maintained a good natural ecosystem at that time.

During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, written records appeared in China. With the improvement of productivity, agricultural production changed from primitive agriculture to traditional agriculture. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the main activities of Zhou people were farming in Beijiang (Qingyang, Xifeng), Gujiang (Binxian, Changwu) and Joo Won? (Fufeng, Qishan), which had developed to a certain level.

Even so, from the Book of Songs, we can still see that there are groups of wild deer, tigers and leopards in the south of the Loess Plateau, with vast forest area and limited agricultural area. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, ironware appeared, plowing agriculture gradually replaced hoeing agriculture, and agriculture in Guanzhong, Fenhe, Luoyang and Tianshui basins further developed.

During the Warring States Period, Qin pushed its influence to the upper reaches of Weihe River and northern Shaanxi, while Zhao expanded to the northern part of Shanxi, establishing cities, reclaiming land and developing agriculture in these areas. However, until the end of the Warring States period, farmers concentrated in the area south of Taiyuan-Longmen Yishui, and the northern animal husbandry still dominated. The whole loess plateau is vast and sparsely populated, and the reclamation index is not high.
