Exploration: Guizhou farming culture

As a big agricultural country, China has been focusing on agricultural production since ancient times. Our farming technology and development have been at the forefront through your continuous inheritance, and different farming civilizations have been formed in different regions and nationalities. Guizhou culture is located in such a special plateau area and has developed a special farming culture.

Guizhou is known as "eight mountains, one water and one field" because of its mountainous plateau. The landform of the whole province can be divided into three basic types: plateau mountains, hills and basins, of which mountains and hills account for 92.5%. The territory is mountainous and peaks, stretching vertically and horizontally, with high mountains and deep valleys, and the characteristics of three-dimensional agriculture are obvious. Therefore, there are many mountain terraces in Guizhou Province, which are superior resources for tourism and photography creation.

Although the terraced fields in Guizhou are not as well known to the outside world as Longsheng in Guangxi and Yuanyang in Yunnan, their beauty is not inferior to or even better than the former. The terraced fields in Jiabang, Baibang, Zhongye, Tang 'an and Gaoyao in Guizhou are holy places to kill films. These terraces combine the unique ethnic customs of Guizhou and are beautiful.

Miao people in central and western Guizhou are scattered, mostly living with other ethnic groups. Because the natural environment of Miao people in different regions is very different, the level of economic development in Miao areas is very inconsistent. But on the whole, the Miao people in northeastern Guizhou, southeastern Guizhou, southern Guizhou, southwestern Guizhou, Anshun and Zunyi entered the stage of farming agriculture very early. The agricultural society of Miao nationality lasted for thousands of years.

After the Miao people moved to Guizhou and took root, they planted rice and raised fish in rice fields with their own farming techniques. This laid a solid foundation for the survival of the Miao nationality. In order to cover the body, keep warm and aesthetic needs, Miao people also use their own skills of sericulture and reeling to spin and weave, and sew colorful costumes unique to Miao people. It can be said that the Miao people have inherited the farming civilization of Chiyou era from generation to generation in their own settlements, and they have never stopped.

Of course, Guizhou is attracted by the ingenious Drum Tower, the heavenly Dong songs, the tough gunmen in Basha, the grand occasion of bullfighting in the vicissitudes of life, the romantic and mysterious Yao bath of Yao compatriots, and the unique folk customs and houses of Miao, Dong, Zhuang, Yao and Buyi in the depths of the mountains ... However, what really fascinates us is the mountainside.

Similarly, although the traditional and ancient farming civilization has lost its social and ecological environment, its inheritance is the same as that of the Miao Lusheng culture in Guizhou. It needs to pay attention to the protection and cultivation of "inheritors", which is the most critical human factor. With the support of appropriate government actions, traditional farming civilization can still undergo new positive variation and development in the new era background, and combine with the elements of the times to achieve integration with the times and truly make the past serve the present.
