In northern China, there are "slope terraces"
As the population of the north continues to move south
The terraces began to show their strength in the mountainous regions of the south
The size of the terraces
Depends on the slope and the thickness of the soil
Start by digging a flat field
Then build stones on top of it
Attach a layer of dirt and pound tightly
And so on two or three times
In order to prevent water leakage in the terraces
The Chinese ancestors adapted measures to local conditions
Local materials

Southern Mountains
There is a lack of arable land
Soybeans are grown using terraced ridges
The water in the paddy fields can meet the water needs of soybeans
The root system of soybeans strengthens the ridges
Nitrogen-fixing properties of legume crops
It can also improve the fertility of rice fields
Through such a pattern of intercropping
People can rely on rice for food and clothing
It can also obtain vegetable protein from soybeans
This is the experience that human beings have summed up in natural production
It is mutually beneficial
Sustainable agriculture that follows the laws of nature
The solar terms depict the four seasons
It also guides the farming and harvest of farmers
Make the best use of local materials
It is the wisdom of agricultural civilization
The soil in the field turned into a mud cow in the hands of the farmer
Eggs are made into eye-eyed horns for garnishment
A mud cow lies prone in the field, lifelike
"The child whips the earthy oxen
Learn to hit the spring first
Cattle yellow hooves white double horns
Shepherd Boy Fate Lady Basket
A "whip cow spring" activity
It means that a new round of cultivation is about to begin
Rice terrace system in mountainous areas of southern China
It was the ancestors of China who used nature to transform nature
A testimony to living in harmony with nature
Time passes, and the seasons reincarnate
The terraces continue to tell the story of farming and harvesting
