Confucius was born in what is now Shandong province, which is far enough north to be not very suitable for rice production. The most important crop is wheat. The southern provinces where rice is more common weren't even part of the Chinese cultural sphere at the time. The theory doesn't explain anything, since it doesn't even get the agricultural facts right. |
