姜,原产于我国及东南亚等亚热带、热带地区。湖北江陵战国时期的古墓和长沙马王堆汉墓中的陪葬物中都有姜块,这可证明我国劳动人民栽培姜的历史是多么悠久。到公元一世纪左右,姜逐渐西传到地中海沿岸,三世纪时传入英国,十六世纪传入美洲。虽然现在姜已经广泛栽培于世界各地,但亚洲和非洲仍然是主要产地。

Ginger, native to China and Southeast Asia and other subtropical and tropical regions. The ancient tombs of the Warring States Period in Jiangling of Hubei and the ginger burials in the remains of the Mawangdui Han Tombs in Changsha prove how long the working people in our country cultivated ginger. By the first century AD, ginger gradually spread westward to the Mediterranean coast, into the United Kingdom in the third century and into the Americas in the sixteenth century. Although ginger is now widely cultivated all over the world, Asia and Africa remain the major producers.
