A guy named Shennong invented the basic tools, while Huangdi invented boats for trading. Similar to India, China's economy also had a disadvantage because half of the land was covered by the Gobi desert and Tibet plateau. Initially, the geography of a continent generates cultural differences. Humans are constantly adapting to their climates and making use of their resources. If the climate is tropical, you are more likely to grow crops that consume a lot of water, and are inclined to farm. This is a lifestyle. However, not everyone has the same climate.
