The time to calcine lime was quite early in ancient China,but the history about the fact failed to cause enough attention of academic circles.Archaeological study indicates that in the site of ancient cultural remains of the Qi's Jia( ) in the upper reaches of the Yellow River 4000 years ago,the lime was used to paint the wall.And the earliest record of lime was Zhou Li( ) in which the "charcoal of clam" was calcined with shells.From Han to Ming and Qing Dynasties,lime in China was mostly calcined with limestone and widely used.And it played an important role in daily life,military war,curing disease,funeral custom and even in Taoist's activities of making pills of immortality.
