The History Of The Greenhouse

The origin of the greenhouse can be traced back to the period of Qin Shihuang. According to the scholar Wei Hong in the "Preface to the Ancient Civil Officials' Book of Zhao Ding", "Qin burned books, fearing that the world would not change the law, and all living beings would worship as Lang, before and after. Seven hundred people are secretly planting melons in the middle of the Lishan Mausoleum and Valley." The age of his life is based on burning books and pitting scholars for more than 200 years, and his records must be based on word-of-mouth history.

Yan Shigu, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, said in the commentary of "Han Shu, Volume 88, Rulin Biography 58" that "the place of wet soup in Xinfeng County today is called the town of Confucianism". The "place of wet soup" should be Wei Hong's statement that "the place in the middle of the Mausoleum and Valley of Lishan" further consolidates Wei Hong's credibility. Wei Hong's records about Qin Shi Huang reveal a piece of valuable agricultural technology information, that is, during Qin Shi Huang's time, the Chinese had invented greenhouse technology.
