Did you know that sticky rice was used in the design of ancient Chinese and Tibetan architecture? Using the glutinous properties of rice in their mortar, they were able to preserve tombs, pagodas and city walls, all of which have withstood the test of time. I can not imagine the number of earthquakes the rice-fortified structures have endured since first introduced during the Ming Dynasty!
