4. Cotton

Its place of origin is India and Arabia. Before cotton was introduced to China, China only had kapok, which could be used to stuff pillows and bedding, and no cotton that could be woven into cloth. Before the Song Dynasty, China only had the character “mian” with the silk radical, and not the character “mian” with the wood radical. The character “mian” (cotton) only began to appear from the Book of Song. It can be seen that the introduction of cotton was at the latest during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, but it was mostly planted in the border regions. The large-scale introduction of cotton into the interior should have been at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The record about the introduction of cotton into China says: “Between the Song and Yuan it first began to be propagated and planted in China; the Guanzhong, Shaanxi, Fujian and Guangdong regions were the first to gain its benefits, probably because this plant came from foreign lands, and Fujian and Guangdong were connected by sea ships while Guanzhong and Shaanxi were connected to the Western Regions.”
