With the loss of southern China's extensive rice fields in the Canton War, the Qing dynasty began importing small-to-moderate quantities of rice from Corea and Japan. The peasantry, often plagued by food shortages, had to rely on millet and sorghum as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staple_food staple foods]. This substandard standard of living, especially in comparison to the working classes of Canton and Corea, fueled economic discontent. |
