Question

Franklin Hiram King wrote a long-term history of this profession in China, Korea, and Japan. The Northern Wèi (“way”) dynasty administrator Jiǎ Sīxié (“jyah sih-sh’yeh”) wrote a handbook for members of this profession called the Qímín Yàoshù (“chee-meen yow-shoo”). Chinese members of this profession viewed the compound deities Tǔdìgōng (“too-dee-gong”) and Shèjì (“shuh-jee”) as their patrons. Two groups of members of this profession were called the Lùlín (“loo-leen”) and the Chìméi (“churr-may”). A philosophical school that celebrated the social role of this position (10[1])was inspired by the mythical Hòu (10[1]-5[1])(“ho jee”). Members (10[1])of this profession in China credited its major innovations to the Yán (“yen”) Emperor, (10[2])who (10[1])was (10[1])identified with (-5[1])Shénnóng (-5[2])(“shun-nong”). After enacting (10[2])reforms that disadvantaged this profession, (-5[1])Wáng Mǎng (10[1])(“wong mong”)faced a revolt from the “Red Eyebrows.” The Suí (10[1]-5[1])(“sway”) adopted an “equalization” (10[1])of this profession’s land (10[1])that attempted to redistribute it like the earlier (10[1])“well-field” system. For 10 points, what profession produced the “Five Cereals”? (10[1])■END■ (10[6])
