Rice farming started by Chinese, doesn't meant it belong to Chinese, the plant itself isn't exclusive to Chinese. There are other variant that's considered wild paddy mostly found in North America.

Of course, all paddy was wild before the very first human cultivate it. It grow across Asia and North America


Don't be like someone, suka suka claim, not that it earn you anything also.

Just an examples, whole asia have many varieties of paddy. Mount paddy, sticky rice, basmati rice. All different. Want to claim all from China? You sure?

First in the region to cultivate it maybe you can claim, but even that how sure are you that there is none cultivate it before China? One advantages China has is they invented word and writing and able to keep the record down. So not surprising historian got their fact based on earliest recorded records.

Take Malaysia for examples, even the story of parameswara wasn't recorded in writing, if it was, I'm not aware of it. The visit of Malacca sultanate to Ming court also recorded from Ming dynasty end but not sure if sultanate have their own records.

How sure are you that Chinese is there one started to discover eating rice.

One advantages China has is they invented word and writing and able to keep the record down. So not surprising historian got their fact based on earliest recorded records.

Animals themselves ate rice. Many history records does show we learning from animals. So if animals was the first one to ate rice, why do you think no other human learning it, that paddy are edible.

Or you dare said human are the one ate rice first before animals and birds? Just because animals don't know how to record the history, doesn't make human the first one to eat it. Same logic.

Btw, the date you shared is the timing of rice cultivation or domestication. It doesn't meant first to eat rice.

If you got play games, you gather wild plant first then only upgrade to farming. True to history, human gather wild plant, and how sure are you human didn't gather wild paddy?

And how sure are you the first to gather and eat wild paddy is Chinese?

Still first to cultivate rice doesn't mean the first to ever eat rice.

Even if they are the first to ever eat rice it still doesn't meant rice is exclusive to Chinese. Paddy have many types and had grown in many habitats across Asia.

So ancient india staple food is what? Ancient korea? Ancient japan? Ancient indo china their staple food is what?

How come you don't understand the logic of be the first to cultivate it doesn't make them the first to eat it.

Bird also eat rice, they don't cultivate rice. So question to you, between Chinese and bird, who was the one first eat rice? You can tell?
