　　Paddy fields are certainly the most important plant in China. Paddy fields are an important part of agriculture in China. The southern Chinese mainly live on rice and northerners mainly live on wheat. The paddy fields look like carpets of fresh green. It is not difficult to grow, especially in warmer climates. It does take a while before the rice seeds actually begin producing. It needs much more moisture than most other crops, full sunlight, warm temperatures and fertile soil. It is ready to harvest when the grain heads and stalks just start to turn yellow. As when harvesting wheat, one can test the rice grains by pinching them between your fingers. They grow well in flooded beds or containers but will do just fine in well-watered soil. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
