Is the ancestor of agriculture an ancient Chinese myth?

Answer 1

The ancestor of agriculture was not a myth in ancient China. Agriculture is one of the most important fields in the development of human society, and planting and harvesting are the basis of agricultural production. According to historical records, as early as the primitive society, humans began to grow food and other crops and gradually developed primitive agricultural techniques. In ancient China, the development of agriculture could be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, and the ancestor of agriculture might be the legendary goddess who helped Yu control the flood. Leizu was regarded as one of the founders of ancient agriculture. She provided the earliest agricultural resources for mankind through planting and harvesting.
