Abstract
Based on many ancient records, archaeological discoveries, and current studies, knowledge of soils including their classification, distribution, and utilization was understood 2000 years ago in China. Thus, pedology may have originated in China. A brief history of Chinese thoughts about soils is described along with the development of their farming experiences since ancient times. Even today, people still get useful information from these old records and works.
