Is not "terraces" due to the fact that the topography of Guizhou is inefficient and inappropriate for cultivation -- specifically because the land is mountainous and of little to no fertile soil, being mostly composed of limestone. Talk about .
Terracing is an agricultural technique used on ANY sloped land, mountains being the most sloped. It's a crazy, wild, wild guess but i'm pretty sure the mountains and hills of Laos are also sloped along with the mountains and hills of SEAsia and the rest of the world...
Again, agricultural production numbers and population numbers do not support your 'fertility' claims of the region. Should i go over the numbers again? Also, the region is not one big limestone and karst formation as you have concluded from your book. Do i need to repost agricultural production numbers to disprove this false conclusion?
You also mention "terraces" in S. America among the Incans. Hmmm, ironic, why did they "terrace" there then eh? Oh, yeah, because they were high in the Andes, where there is/was little to "NO FLAT LAND" for cultivation. DUH! Again, .
Keep grabbing at "straws" ...
You mean the terraces that you insisted did not exist? Let me catch my breath...
. Do i need to post pictures of terraces on gently sloping lands to convince you that it's a technique that can be used on ANY sloping land? I better, since it's not stated in "Insurgency and Social Disorder in Guizhou" so you won't believe it. Pics at bottom.
And you mention SE Asia; "Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia has numerous terraced mountains ... " Again, DUH! You just "self-incriminated", ...
Again, what terraces are you talking about? According to you, terraces are non-existent in SEAsia or the rest of the world...
(But just for LAFFS, emmm, don't get "rice paddies" confused with "terraces" ok, as it is a known fact, that that methodology is the norm or most popular practice throughout SE Asia. Oh! Guess what? No "terraces" whatsoever. Why? Because all the "rice paddies" are in low flat non-mountainous fertile soil. DUH!)
Ua tsaug ...
And your point about flat, lowland farming is.........irr
elevant, like what you just wrote and your arguments in this debate.
(fyi -- one simple source was more than sufficient to rectify your narrow rethoric. Beyond that, well, let's just say you've already "incriminated" yourself, so it's pointless ... )
ROFL, ROFL, ROFL.
Agricultural production numbers from the Guizhou-Yunnan plateau: i've incriminated myself on the fertility of this region. Clearly, it is one large limestone and karst wasteland and these numbers are fabrications meant to directly contradict the holy book: "Insurgency and Social Disorder in Guizhou."
Terrace technology in SEAsia and the rest of the world: i've also clearly incriminated myself on the extent and application of this technology. Clearly, the existence of terraces outside of the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau is fabricated and only the mountains and hills of the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau are sloped. However, if we imagine they could exist (i know its a difficult thing to do), terrace technology should only be applied to the most sloped of sloped mountainsides; if they do exist.
Disclaimer for pics: This is only hypothetical, "Insurgency and Social Disorder in Guizhou" do not support these claims. Pictures of terrace technology on rolling hills and gentle slopes must be ignored as they are only figments of our imagination and not consistent with the teachings of the holy book.
Ua tsaug.
