? According to the news released by Shaanxi News in Weibo, this time we visited Dabaozi Village in Xixian New Area, where we found not only many jade and bronze wares, but also iron and pottery warehouses. You may not know much about Taocang. Let me introduce the ancient pottery barn:
China attached great importance to grain storage in ancient times. Legend has it that in the Shennong era, there was a saying that there was a hidden valley and a hidden warehouse. The earliest record was in the Zhou Dynasty. "Zhou Li? Underground palace? Cang Ren: "Cang Ren has millet in his palm. "Shu:" Distinguish the things in the nine valleys as useful states. If there is insufficient food, use the surplus food method. "If you have more, you will hide it, and if you have less, you will be fierce." The year is good and the harvest is good. The warehouse owner is responsible for hiding in the warehouse. All previous dynasties attached great importance to grain reserves, and the design and setting of granaries were constantly improving and developing. With the further development of agriculture in the state of Qin, the total amount of grain has increased rapidly, so it is necessary to build grain storage facilities to preserve it. According to Yunmeng Qin bamboo slips, the Qin Dynasty set up many mangoku granaries all over the country. For example, the grain depot in Xianyang, the capital, is based on 100 thousand stones.
? In our modern words, this is the granary. The pottery barn discovered by local investigation is about 1m wide and 80cm high, and its overall size is huge. Some experts found that most of them are millet, which is very popular.
You know, these millet came from 2000 years ago, and we are still eating millet. People discovered this food 2000 years ago. It can be seen that before everyone eats rice, everyone actually eats millet.
As we all know, after Yuan Longping discovered the new hybrid rice, the problem of human eating was completely solved. Everyone should start eating white rice from snacks. But what does this millet stand for 2000 years ago?
? Maybe before everyone has good white rice to eat, there are millet at home. Only in modern times, when a new type of rice was invented, did we have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. It is often seen in TV dramas that drinking porridge is extravagant. Maybe we can't understand it yet. Many years ago, life was really like this.
? People ate millet before 2000, and after 2000, people ate a lot of white rice. This also shows from the side that the times are progressing and the society is developing. Thanks to Grandpa Yuan Longping, we have the rice in the bowl today!
