The Qimin Yaoshu is the most completely preserved of the ancient Chinese agricultural texts, and was written by the Northern Wei Dynasty official Jia Sixie. The book is believed to have been completed in the second year of Wu Ding of Eastern Wei, 544 C.E., while another account gives the completion between 533 and 544 C.E.

The text of the book is divided into ten volumes and 92 chapters, and records 1500-year-old Chinese agronomy, horticulture, afforestation, sericulture, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, breeding, brewing, cooking, storage, as well as remedies for barren land. The book quoted nearly 200 ancient sources including the Yiwu Zhi. Important agricultural books such as Fàn shèng zhī shū (氾勝之書) and Sì mín yuè lìng (四民月令) from the Hàn and Jìn Dynasties are now lost, so future generations can only understand the operation of agriculture at the time from this book.

280 recipes are found in the text.

Since the publication of the book, historical Chinese governments have long attached great importance to it. Since the book spread overseas it has also often been considered a classic text to study changes in species. When Charles Darwin was researching the theory of evolution he made reference to an "Encyclopedia of Ancient China". It is said that the book he referenced was in fact Qí mín yào shù. The book's name "Qí mín yào shù" can be explained as "techniques by which common people make their livelihood", but can also be explained as "techniques to harness the people's livelihood".

《齊民要術》是中國保存得最完整的一本古代農牧情況的鉅著,由北魏官員賈思勰所著,成書於東魏武定二年(544年),另一說為533年至544之間。收錄公元6世紀時中國黃河流域下游地區的農藝、園藝、造林、蠶桑、畜牧、獸醫、配種、釀造、烹飪、儲備,以及治荒的技術。書中正文分成10卷,92篇,援引古籍近200種,所引《氾勝之書》、《四民月令》等現已失傳的漢晉重要農書,後人只能從此書了解當時的農業運作。

該書自出版後,長期受中國歷朝政府重視,傳遍海外後亦被常成為研究古物種變化的經典,達爾文研究進化論時曾參考一部「中國古代百科全書」,有說此書正是《齊民要術》。在四庫全書中為子部農家類。
