origin

The rice fields of Miao nationality are all open according to the mountain, and change with the change of the mountain and terrain. The size and shape of terraces are determined by the altitude of the hillside, the gentle slope and the size of the hillside. The unique landform of Jiabang determines that the terrace area here is no more than one mu. Most of the fields are broken fields that can only grow one or two rows of grass, such as "belt hill" and "frog jumping three fields". The smallest one is only big as a dustpan, often hundreds of Mu on one slope. The longest terraces here can reach two or three hundred meters, and the shortest is less than one meter. Each part of a terraced field hundreds of meters long is completely different in size and shape. Jiabang terraces are not only large-scale and magnificent, but also have beautiful lines. From the perspective of lines and holistic forms, the terraced fields of the terraced fields of the terraced fields are more beautiful than Yunnan Yuanyang terraced fields. They are more spectacular and charming than Guangxi Longsheng terraced fields. In particular, the villages and villages living in the terraced fields reflect the terraced fields and integrate with the nature, all of which reflect the harmonious beauty of human and nature and give people a feeling of "fairyland in the world".

Together with the quiet Miao stilted buildings scattered in the fields, they form beautiful Chinese landscape paintings.

Jiabang terrace

In the seventh episode of our fields, the hot documentary "China on the tip of the tongue" in 2012 talked about Jiabang terraces in eight minutes. Chinese people say: live by the mountains and live by the sea. This is not only a kind of adaptation to local conditions, but also a Chinese way of survival conforming to nature. From ancient times to the present, this farming nation carefully uses every inch of land under its feet to obtain food and extraordinary wisdom everywhere. Congjiang County, Guizhou Province, is a mountainous area inhabited by Dong, Miao and Zhuang nationalities. People here have been eating glutinous rice since ancient times, and planted nearly 100 kinds of primitive glutinous rice in the high mountain terraces. Far away from the hustle and bustle of modern civilization, scattered villages are like isolated islands, hidden deep in the mountains.

October is the season for glutinous rice to mature. Xiayao village, where Zhuang people live together, is welcoming a special festival for rice harvest, the new rice Festival. But glutinous rice is not the only harvest of the villagers. There are other secrets hidden in the paddy field. Carp and duck can be raised in rice fields at the same time. This ancient system of rice fish duck farming has been listed as an important global agricultural cultural heritage.
