Answer 1

Answer:

1. Yangtze River valley
2. Calligraphy

Explanation:

The Yangtze River Valley is a very important location in China with the river itself contributing to more than 15% of China's GDP. The valley is said to be the earliest known location where rice was cultivated and this continues today. Indeed two-thirds of all the rice that comes from China is though to be grown here. Other crops grown are wheat, barley and maize.

Calligraphy which translates to beautiful writing is the method of writing Chinese characters such that it is artistic.
