Timeline of Ancient China: From Shang to Tang Dynasty
The Chinese culture forms a world apart from strong isolation. Only in prehistoric times, especially the Neolithic, can we point to any contact between such distant worlds. The pottery with painted spirals of the Chinese Yang-Chao culture, in the 3rd millennium, resembles that of Southern Russia and the Danube at the same time. It has been brought from the West, perhaps by the first Chinese, farmers and herdsmen arriving from the Turkestan districts, where they were in contact with Caucasians and Indo-Germans and with other Mughal groups, the Uralo-Altaic and Turkic. Early History of Chinese Culture People were already living in the large region we now call China long before the beginning of recorded history. About 9,000 years ago, the ancestors of today's Chinese created agricultural settlements near two mighty rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze.

Shanxi Guangling Millet: Sticky and Smooth, Sweet and Delicious
Guangling millet from Shanxi has long been famous. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, it was presented to the imperial court as tribute rice, earning the title of "Imperial Rice." In 1961, a new variety called "Dongfang Liang" was developed and improved, which is considered an excellent quality of rice. This type of millet is characterized by its smooth and shiny grains, golden yellow color, and rich nutritional value. Whether used for making rice or porridge, it is sticky and smooth, sweet and delicious. Laboratory tests have determined that Guangling millet contains 76.1% carbohydrates, 9.7% protein, 1.7% fat, 0.1% crude fiber, and 1.4% ash. It is also rich in various trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin, as well as vitamins B1 and B15. For nursing mothers, consuming Guangling millet porridge can increase milk secretion and speed up physical recovery. It also has certain therapeutic effects for those suffering from liver disease, heart disease, rheumatism, and anemia. As a result, the reputation of Guangling millet has spread far and wide, reaching various counties within the province and major cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, and Tangshan.
