中国是已知的世界栽培稻起源地。在有关大禹治水的古文文献中，就有关于稻作文化的记载。稻米作为人类的重要主食之一，具有多方面的明显优点。水稻的种植对生态环境的保护也发挥着积极作用。中国南方由于其特定的地理位置和气候条件，十分有利水稻生长。随着中国历史文化的演进发展，水稻逐渐脱颖而出，成为“五谷之首”。青浦朱家角地区的“青角薄稻”是流传至今的水稻优良品种。

China is well known as the cradle of Oryza sativa in the world. There were records about rice planting culture in the classical literature of Emperor Yu tames the flood. Rice, as one of the most important staple foods of human beings, has obvious advantages in many aspects. Rice planting also plays an active role in the protection of ecological environment. Because of the specific geographical location and climatic conditions, southern China is very suitable to accelerate the growth of rice. With the evolution and development of Chinese history and culture, rice has been gradually standing out as the first grain of Five Cereals. “Cyan horn and thin rice” from Zhujiajiao Qingpu district is the excellent rice variety which has been inherited till now.
