Red Network Moment Huaihua, November 16 (Correspondent Liu Peisong Zhang Haiyan) "Wow, that's amazing! Now that I finally understand the principle of making black rice, I will continue to explore and analyze the principle of colorful plant dyeing juice, and I want to make colorful rice! Ban Luo Jiaxing, a junior high school student from the county No. 1 Middle School, said excitedly.
It turned out that more than 50 members of the junior high school science and technology club were recently organized by the county No. 1 Middle School to come to Guanzhougu Village, Tuanhe Town, Huitong County, to carry out scientific and technological innovation social practice activities. Guanzhou Ancient Village has a history of more than 700 years, and still preserves a certain number of ancient buildings, the house building layout is reasonable, magnificent atmosphere, window carvings are exquisite, flowers, birds, dragons and beasts are lifelike, with the unique ancient residential architectural style of Jiangnan, and was listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit in Hunan Province in 2011.
"Little science fans" came to the famous "black rice" in the ancient village, and one by one, they practiced making black rice and explored the principle of production.
The black fuel of black rice comes from the leaves of the rice tree (southern candlestick), which is also known locally as the girl tree, the leaves of the rice tree contain polyphenols, such as flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanins, etc., they are not black, but in the process of soaking, the leaves release polyphenol oxidase, under the dual action of it and cooking temperature, various polyphenols are oxidized and interacted to form a reddish-brown to black complex polymer. These polymers bind to the proteins in the rice, resulting in a staining effect. The principle of making black rice has stimulated the creativity and exploration of colorful rice among "small science fans".
During the practice, everyone also listened to the touching story of Yang Jiumei saving Yang Starling, and learned about the local custom of "Girls' Day" on the eighth day of April: on this day, each family must make black rice, prepare wine and meat, and invite the married girl back as a guest.
Guanzhou Ancient Village is also attractive to the culture of integrity passed down from generation to generation. The village is mainly surnamed "Yu", it is said that Yu Qian's descendants, because they fled the war and moved here, they have been taking Yu Qian's spiritual qualities of honesty and honesty as the code of words and deeds, and formulated the family discipline of "morality, love, filial piety, faith, learning", and wrote on the wall in a conspicuous place, every family has a good family style, so the village has been full of talents, flying out of many "golden phoenixes".
"Little science fans" walked into the Yu family ancestral hall, in addition to feeling the antique architectural flavor, horse head wall, hanging plaques, carved beams and paintings, window flowers with rich meanings... I also appreciate the noble quality of loyalty and filial piety of the ancestors of the Yu family. Listening to the extraordinary stories about generations of people in the ancient village, the "small science fans" were deeply affected and decided to inherit the good qualities of their ancestors, work hard, and contribute to a better tomorrow.
The craftsmanship of the ancient village is also a charming scenery. Small science fans follow the aunt to learn to make colorful tea, learn to process red jelly, learn fruit tree grafting, learn to stir-fry mountain chestnuts, learn to stir-fry vegetables, etc. In the activity, everyone truly felt the truth that life contains great mysteries, labor bears happy fruits, and inherits the wisdom of culture and continued glory!
