Rice has been cultivated in China for about seven thousand years. In the third century A. D. rice cultivation spread in the valleys of the Chang- jiang and the Huanghe Rivers. At present, paddy soils are distributed almost all over the country, although they mainly concentrate in the plains and hilly and mountainous regions to the south of the Qinling mountains and the Huahe River (Fig. l).
