Wheat is a kind of Gramineae monocotyledon plant widely planted all over the world. Almost all of it is eaten. It can be ground into flour to make bread, steamed bread, biscuits, noodles and other foods. After fermentation, it can be made into beer, alcohol, liquor (such as vodka) or biofuel. Let's take a look at when wheat was introduced into China.

When will wheat be introduced into China?

Wheat originated in West Asia and was introduced into China, and gradually replaced millet and millet, becoming the main crop of dry farming in northern China, forming the agricultural production pattern of "south rice and north wheat" in China. At present, dozens of archaeological discoveries of early wheat remains have been reported, and these newly discovered archaeological evidence show that wheat was introduced into China no later than 4000 years ago, and probably as early as 4500 years ago.

How was wheat introduced into China?

There are at least two ways for wheat to be introduced into China, namely, the grassland channel and the oasis channel. The transmission route of grassland passage is the bronze culture of West Asia-Central Asia-Eurasian grassland-the cultural area of northern China-the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The transmission route of the oasis passage is the oasis-Hexi Corridor-Loess Plateau on the north and south sides of West Asia-Central Asia-Pamir Plateau-Tarim Basin.

What are the wheat producing areas in China?

1. Spring wheat area: spring wheat area is mainly distributed in the north of the Great Wall, Minshan Mountain and the west of Daxue Mountain, most of these areas are in high cold or dry cold zone, winter cold, winter wheat can not survive the winter safely, so spring wheat is planted.

2. Northern winter wheat region: the northern winter wheat region is the largest wheat production and consumption area in China, mainly in the south of the Great Wall, east of Liupan Mountain and north of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains.

3. Southern winter wheat region: the southern winter wheat area is an important producing area of commercial wheat in China. To the south of the Qinling Huaihe River and to the east of Zaiduo Mountain, the sown area and total output account for about 30%. Because most of the people in this area take rice as the main food rations, so the commodity rate of wheat is higher.
