Extended information There are many sayings about "five grains" in ancient times, and there are mainly two kinds:

When the word "five grains" was first coined, it was not recorded what it meant.

The earliest explanation we can see now was written by Han people.

Han Chinese and later Han Chinese mainly have two explanations:

One saying is rice, millet, millet, wheat and glutinous rice (that is, soybeans).

Another way of saying it is marijuana, millet, millet, wheat and glutinous rice.

The difference between these two statements is that there is rice without hemp and there is hemp without rice.

Although hemp seed is edible, it is mainly used for textile.

Grain refers to grain, and the former statement does not include hemp in grain, which is more reasonable.
