Extended information There are many different opinions about "five grains" in ancient times, and there are two main ones:

When the term "five grains" was first created, there was no record of what it meant.

The earliest explanation we can see now was written by Han people.

There are two main explanations of Han people and later Han people:

One saying is rice, millet, millet, wheat, and glutinous rice (that is, soybeans).

Another way of saying it is hemp (refers to marijuana), millet, millet, wheat and glutinous rice.

The difference between these two statements is that one has rice without hemp, and the other has hemp without rice.

Although pockmarked seeds can be used for food, they are mainly used for weaving.

Valley refers to grain, and the former statement does not include hemp in grain, which is more reasonable.
