Can we live without salt? Salt is very important to us. We need salt in our food. Animals need it, too. Most of the salt in our country comes from the
sea. People dig very big pools and let sea water in. When the sun dries up
the water, people can get salt from the ground. The salt is white, clean and
beautiful.
There are a lot of salt wells in Sichuan. A salt well is much like a water
well. People bring the well water up to the ground and then dry it in big jars
over fire. In this way they get salt. We can also get salt from salt mines. A
salt mine may be found under the ground. Some years ago, people in Jiangxi
found a big salt mine and soon opened it. People there need salt from other
places no more.
In the northwest of our country, there are many salt lakes. Some of these lakes are very big. The salt in a big lake will be enough for our people for
centuries.
