China's agriculture has also flourished with the pace of history for thousands of years. China's agricultural civilization is like a bright star shining on China. Even though China is developing rapidly in science and technology, it cannot do without the development of agriculture. As early as 10,000 years ago, agriculture and primitive agriculture began to develop in China.
From 2 1 century BC to 77 1 century BC, China entered the era of slavery from primitive society, and primitive agriculture gradually changed to extensive agriculture, which created conditions for the rapid development of agriculture later. China is a populous country, accounting for 19% of the world population. We must develop our own agriculture to supply ourselves, and we cannot rely on other people's agriculture. To become a real power, the first thing is to let yourself have no worries and not let people go hungry. Agriculture plays an important role in the whole national economy. 1949 since the founding of new China, especially since the reform and opening up in 1980s, China's agriculture has developed rapidly, feeding 22% of the world's population with limited cultivated land, and has made remarkable achievements. Moreover, the development of agriculture can promote the continuous increase of farmers' income, improve their living standards and improve their quality of life. Only in this way can the living standards of all the people in China be better improved.
? China is one of the birthplaces of mankind and one of the four ancient civilizations. From 1.7 million years ago to 1 10,000 years ago, primitive humans who were separated from the animal kingdom lived in this vast land. There was no agriculture at that time. Primitive humans lived by gathering, fishing and hunting, which was called the Paleolithic Age. However, with the growth of population, human beings often face the threat of hunger. How to obtain a stable and reliable food source has become the driving force of agricultural origin. 65,438+0,000 to 4,000 years ago, which is known as the Neolithic Age, the ancestors who lived in this land founded agriculture. It is generally believed that gathering activities gave birth to primitive farming and hunting activities gave birth to primitive animal husbandry. We have evolved from the most primitive society to the present, and our agriculture has also developed to a certain technical height. The earliest agricultural areas in China are the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin. The yellow river basin has loose and fertile soil and warm and dry climate, which provides good natural conditions for the occurrence and development of primitive agriculture. Archaeological data show that the culture of magnetic mountain culture and Peiligang in the middle reaches of the Yellow River has a history of 8000 years. A large number of millet crops were found in the site, and some pits reached more than 2 m. From the unearthed tools, there are not only agricultural tools such as stone axe, stone knife, stone shovel and stone sickle, but also grain processing tools such as stone mill and stone roller. In addition, there are remains of pigs, dogs and chickens, which shows that an agricultural economy with mixed farming and animal husbandry has been formed at that time. Yangshao culture, Majiayao culture and Qijia culture in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Dawenkou culture and Longshan culture in the lower reaches all show that the Yellow River basin is one of the earliest areas of agricultural origin in China. This shows that our agricultural development has a long history.
