We believe agriculture was obviously the most important thing to happen in the Tang and Song dynasty. Agriculture lead to growth in economy which lead to business and trade to begin to boom. Rice was probably the most important thing to happen to agriculture within 618-1279 C.E. Farming advanced leading to a much quicker harvest and growth of rice leading to it not taking long. Instead of maybe 1-2 harvest of rice per year they were able to harvest rice at least 2-3 times a year! This also grew huge cities which dwarfed cities in Europe at the time. So thats why we like to say Grow Big Or Grow Ho
