稻   甲骨文象米装存容器之形，指稻米。篆书以稻谷的加工、储存形式标示为“手舀”，以“禾”作形趺符。《说文》注：“稌也，从禾，舀声。”《韵会》说：“有芒谷，即今南方所食之米，水生而色白者。”稻即稻谷，分水稻和旱稻。近代考古发掘证实，早在1万年前中国已种植水稻，甲骨文的稻字，也证实中国种稻历史久远。

稻 (名) rice; paddy

《维基百科》说：透过文字可以看出中国大陆种稻的历史相当悠久是无容至疑的，但有不少学者依然希望找出最早的水稻或旱稻品种，中国有很多考古地点曾陆续发现了一些早期的稻谷。如1995年在中国湖南道县玉蟾岩遗址里，发现了四粒黄色的稻谷，测定年代为公元前一万年前，据知是目前世界上最早的稻谷。此外在长江下游河姆渡也曾出土有约7000年前的稻种残留物；广东英德出土的约一万年前的人工栽培的水稻硅质体。
稻的栽培起源于约公元前8200年南中国珠江中游的聚落地带，另有考古发现在约公元前8200年前的中国湖南。在1993年，考古队在道县玉蟾岩发现了世界最早的古栽培稻，距今约8200年。水稻在中国与东南亚广为栽种后，逐渐向西传播到印度，中世纪引入欧洲南部。现时全世界有一半的人口食用稻，主要在亚洲、欧洲南部和热带美洲及非洲部分地区。2013年稻的总产量占世界粮食作物产量第二位，仅低于玉米。
