How natural conditions influenced the emergence of ancient China?

The geographical factor in the history of ancient societies is an important phenomenon. In most cases, he predetermined her development, her occupation. The same applies to Ancient China. Both ancient and modern China are distinguished by the fact that most of its vast territory is occupied by mountain complexes. They are mostly concentrated in its western part. Accordingly, the ancient Chinese could not settle here. The entire burden of the population fell on the coastal eastern regions of China. There, the Chinese could engage in agriculture and all the occupations that are familiar to us now, developed in China.
