China is a land of plenty of fish and rice. Who is the first granary in Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangsu and Heilongjiang?

China has been a country dominated by agriculture since ancient times, and agricultural production has started since the Neolithic Age. Although China's agricultural production structure includes planting, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and so on, it has been planting for thousands of years. We feed 22% of the global population with 7% of the global land.

From the earliest Yellow River to the later Jiangnan area, the granaries in China's history have been changing according to the economic development and terrain development. For example, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangsu, Heilongjiang, Henan and other places are now famous regions, such as Chengdu Plain, Dongting Lake Plain and Taihu Lake Plain, which are all famous land of fish and rice. So who is the first granary in new China?

you won't believe it. It's Heilongjiang in the northeast.

according to the data of China's major grain-producing provinces in 219, the top ten grain-producing regions are Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Jilin, Hebei, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan and Hunan. I don't know if you have noticed one thing. These top ten grain-producing areas are basically concentrated in the northeast, along the Yangtze River and along the Yellow River.

let's talk about the banks of the yellow river first. Henan, Shandong, Anhui and Hebei all belong to the areas along the Yellow River. If we look at the map of China before the Qin and Han Dynasties, we can find that the national center of gravity was basically distributed in this area. The Yellow River is the cradle of Chinese civilization, and it has always occupied an important position in planting by virtue of abundant water resources, vast plain terrain and suitable temperature in temperate zone.

The main crop along the Yellow River is wheat, which has always been the main local grain in China. When it comes to wheat cultivation, we must praise Henan. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, Henan's cultivated land accounts for only 6.2% of the country, but it produces 1% of the total domestic grain, of which wheat production accounts for 1/4 of the country. It is hard to imagine that so much food actually comes from the pain and helplessness of the past? Yellow floodplain.

In p>1938, in order to defend Wuhan and stop the Japanese army from going south, the Huayuankou Dam of the Yellow River was blown up with tears, and the turbid Yellow River water flooded wantonly in the Huanghuai Plain, forming the Yellow River floodplain across 44 counties in Henan, Anhui and Su Sansheng, and countless people were displaced, which not only directly caused the death of nearly 9, people, but also forced 12 million people to leave their homes, and the Yellow River was completely diverted.

After the founding of New China, the Huangpan District Committee was established. With the concerted efforts of the upper and lower Qi Xin, the Huangpan District was effectively managed. The Huangpan District, which once represented suffering, glowed with new glory, not only rebuilding its homeland, but also forming a Huangpan District farm with a land area of 98 square kilometers and a cultivated land area of 12, mu, which once again made Henan a major grain-producing province.

Compared with the Yellow River, the Yangtze River is undoubtedly much gentler. Although the Yangtze River is not the earliest granary, the history of rice cultivation here is very early. Hemudu people living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have already started the road of rice cultivation more than 7, years ago.

Later, due to the war in the Central Plains, the population in the north began to move to the south in large numbers, and the vast Yangtze River area was developed. Although there are many hills in the south, there are many lakes along the Yangtze River, which have formed many land of plenty, such as Chengdu, a land of plenty, and Dongting Lake, which is "rich in lakes and abundant in the world".

The method of "multiple transportation" enables people from Jiangxi, Huguang and Zhejiang to transport 2.2 million stones of grain to Huai 'an warehouse. It can be explained that the Hunan-Hubei region in the Qing Dynasty was the main grain production base in China, and the annual allocation of "Xiangmi" was as high as 5 million stone. For a long time, the "South-to-North Grain Transfer" was the main transportation direction of domestic grain crops.

Since the Yellow River region and the Yangtze River region have such a long planting history, and they also occupy a favorable climate and place, why has Heilongjiang become the largest grain-producing province today, and Jilin, which is also located in the northeast, also produces a lot of grain? Because this "new Jiangnan" beyond the Great Wall not only has favorable weather and geographical conditions, but also occupies the convenience of people and machinery.

In everyone's inherent impression, the climate in the northeast is cold, and the grain crops that may be harvested three times a year in the south may only be harvested twice a year or even once a year here, but on the other hand, the high temperature difference here naturally makes some pests lose their living environment and the grain can grow sturdily.

In terms of aspects, the land in Northeast China is flat and open, and there is plenty of water here. Isn't the famous Sanjiang Plain the best planting environment? What's more, the soil here is good, and whoever grows the "black land" in Northeast China knows.

Northeast China has always been a bitter and cold place in history, and few people think of large-scale grain cultivation here. The reputation of "Great Northern Wilderness" is not nonsense; However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China in New China, large-scale reclamation activities began immediately in the 195s, and the "Great Northern Wilderness" became "Great Northern Warehouse".

Nowadays, all kinds of high technologies are used for large-scale planting here. The combination of favorable weather, favorable geographical conditions and mechanical strength has made it develop from a barren land into a fertile land where black soil blooms with oil and chopsticks sprout.

Nowadays, China's grain cultivation is no longer mainly based on wheat or rice, and various cash crops and foreign food crops have begun to take root in this land. For example, some areas that are not suitable for growing food can now rely on planting potatoes and corn to increase land yield. Now China is a big potato country, ranking first in potato production in the world, and corn has become the third largest food crop in China. Our food is getting more and more, and our life will get better and better!
