Terrace history:

Terraces have existed in China since at least the Qin and Han Dynasties. The cultivation of rice requires a large area of ponds, but there are many hills in the southeastern provinces of China, and there are few plains suitable for rice cultivation.

In order to solve the food problem, farmers who immigrated here built terraces and used a series of dams to store water, which made it possible to grow rice in a large area in hilly areas and solved the local food problem. China's cultivated land area is1910.8 billion mu, of which more than a quarter is terraced fields.
