China has a vast territory and a large span of rice farming area, and the growth and development conditions of rice are different. The southern part of Shandong Province is a traditional rice-growing area in China. Based on the planting conditions of the rice growing area in the south of Shandong Province, this paper introduces the rice planting patterns and characteristics in this area.
