"Tian" is a first-class word (commonly used word) in the General Standard of Chinese. This word first appeared in Shang Dynasty Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Shang Dynasty inscriptions and hieroglyphs. Its ancient glyph is like a farmland, buildings or ditches criss-crossing.

Tian, pictograph. The glyph is like drawing nine squares on a big ridge, representing countless mineral fields (vertical lines represent vertical ridges) and strange fields (horizontal lines represent horizontal ridges). Some Oracle Bone Inscriptions are like deformed acres. Simplified Chinese character Oracle Bone Inscriptions simplified a building with three horizontal lines and three vertical lines into a "ten" character with one horizontal line and one vertical line.
The original meaning of its word is criss-crossing farmland, which was later extended to a verb, meaning farming, and later written as "tenancy". There are also fiefs given by ancient rulers to relatives and servants and ancient plot units. As well as production activity units and ore-bearing zones. The inscriptions on bronze and seal script inherited the Oracle Bone Inscriptions glyph.
Ancient books sometimes use "Tian" instead of "Yi". This is like a hunting war and the shape of a minefield. Oracle Bone Inscriptions has different forms of complexity and simplicity, but later generations mainly inherited simplified characters, only the changes of strokes in past dynasties, and the structure remains unchanged from ancient times to the present.

Farmland, in China's words, refers to the land for agricultural production; Farmland. The language "Book of Rites": "Build a hundred acres of land." Paddy field is the main farmland in southern China, and rice is the main food crop. Farmland in northern China is mainly dry land, and wheat is the main food crop.
Farmland, also known as cultivated land, refers to land that can be used to grow crops geographically. Fertile farmland is formed by the accumulation of sediments from rivers or oceans. In modern times, due to the control of water control projects, river flooding is not common, which makes intensive cultivation on cultivated land enough to feed the huge population on the earth.
