Directories. At present, there is a celadon producer in Dayao village. Celadon had begun to take shape in Dayao Jincun, Xiaomei Town, as early as the Five Dynasties. It developed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Southern Yuan Dynasty. In today's Dayao and Jincun, the scale of Xiaomei is unprecedented, and its technique reaches its peak. The meiziqing and fenqingglaze in the Diyao have reached the highest level of celadon glaze color! In particular, Dayao became the porcelain manufacturing center of the whole country, and gradually declined after the double attacks of banditry and seclusion in Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the end, only the fan family of sunkeng maintained the blood of celadon industry until the beginning of the Republic of China. In the early 1990s, there was a bowl factory in Dayao which closed down. Now only one family in Dayao insists on firing celadon.

Flower cutting

That is to say, during the dormancy period of the trees, the broad-leaved trees suitable for the production of Lentinus edodes are cut down, and the scars with strict requirements of density and depth are cut on both sides of the trunk with a special axe, so that the spores of Lentinus edodes in the air fall into them naturally, germinate mycelium, and grow Lentinus edodes. The technique of flower cutting is very profound. There are differences in the depth, density and method of flower cutting due to the thickness of cortex, soft and hard materials, different tree species, different tree age, dry and wet forest land, strong and weak air flow, backward direction of cutting and so on. In terms of depth, the so-called "half a grain of maple, half a grain of rice, half a grain of olive, and half a grain of foreign money" can be said to be very different, and it all depends on experience, that is, technique. Deep, SAP loss is too large, spores are difficult to colonize; shallow, spores can not enter the cambium; cut flowers carelessly, can cause a mushroom. Later, it was invented in practice

Shock mushroom technique

The yield of Lentinus edodes can be increased by knocking wood with an axe. Mushroom people master the secret, pass on daughter-in-law instead of daughter-in-law! Mushroom people have specific argot, commonly known as“

Shanliaobai

”When you enter mushroom mountain, you must use argot! Therefore, the cultivation Team of Lentinus edodes in China has been limited to three counties for a long time. It was only after the reform and opening up that the cultivation of Lentinus edodes was completely transformed from Duanmu cultivation to bagged cultivation, and then extended to the whole country!
