An old man stood in the paddy field, shouting "Pull out the seedlings" and bending down to pull out the first seedling. Everyone responded in unison and shouted loudly, "Good weather, abundant crops." In the paddy field, a row of people pulled up the seedlings, carried them to the grid lined rice fields, and neatly planted them. On the field ridge, a dance team composed of women beat drums and gongs and walked around the field. Recently, a unique spring plowing ceremony called "Opening the Seedling Gate" was held in Heqiao Village, Peimei Town, Wannian County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. The rich cultural and artistic programs such as "Yunhe Ge", "Jiehe Ge", and "Source of Rice" have made this spring plowing ceremony a grand festival and launched a new year of fishing and farming work on the land of Ganpo. Wannian County is located on the southeast bank of Poyang Lake. It is reported that in 2024, the county's grain planting area will be 664700 mu, and the annual grain output will be 500 million jin. For thousands of years, a complete rice cultivation culture system has been formed in Wannian area, and Wannian rice cultivation customs have also been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. The cultural system of rice cultivation for ten thousand years has a complete evolutionary chain and profound value in many aspects such as economy, technology, ecology, and culture. It needs further exploration and research, and can be said to be a natural museum. ”Min Qingwen, a researcher at the Institute of Geographic Science and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said. In recent years, Wannian County has organized related activities, created literary and artistic works, recreated scenes of millennium agriculture, and strengthened the protection and development of rice culture sites. Rice cultivation culture has become a lever for promoting the construction of a culturally strong county and rural revitalization in the local area. (New Society)
