Abstract

Since the introduction of cotton into China, the introduction and use of cotton has been recorded in various historical materials. Its introduction has had a great impact on the social life of ancient China, especially since the Ming Dynasty, the government has vigorously promoted cotton planting, making it being a must-have for life after food. Through analysis, this paper believes that the extensive cultivation of cotton in the Ming Dynasty changed the traditional planting structure based on agricultural mulberry, and promoted the development of handicrafts and commerce, which changed people's daily life.
