When was the earliest large-scale coal mining in the history of China?
The history of coal mining was recorded in some historical books during the Warring States period, but coal has not been paid attention to by the state. In the Ming Dynasty, China was able to extract coke from coal. Coal is an important substance in the industrial revolution, so large-scale coal mining in China was after the Opium War 1840, but it was mainly exploited by foreign powers. The real mining industry in China should be the Westernization Movement after 19.
