According to legend, clouds and terraces have a history of thousands of years. Sheshan people who migrated from northern Fujian to southern Zhejiang were the earliest settlers of Yunhe terraced fields. In the mountainous area with nine mountains, half water and half fields, fields are the most precious. Clever and industrious peasant ancestors, with hoes, sickles and sweat, cut down shrubs and thorns on the mountain, dug up rocks, picked up all kinds of pebbles, and cultivated a small piece of land day after day on the undulating hillside. Terraces, wide or narrow, stretch irregularly up and down according to the mountain. The smallest terrace is called "Palm Field". Even if you plant a bag of rice seedlings in spring and harvest a handful of rice in autumn, you will not give up easily. After thousands of years of practice, our ancestors have accumulated rich experience in terrace cultivation. No matter what kind of barren and steep mountains, there are artificial terraces wherever people go. Terraced fields use paddy fields, trees and bamboo forests to regulate climate, maintain the temperature and humidity of the four seasons, and establish a self-circulating ecological environment, which has the functions of solidifying mountain vegetation and preventing soil erosion.
The beauty of terraced fields lies in the perfect integration of landscape and cultivated land. Running water does not rot, running water is the soul of terraced fields. The terraces are on the water, and the spirit is sublimated in the flowing water.
The beauty of terraced fields lies in the extraordinary endurance and wisdom of farmers. The inheritance from generation to generation, the construction and modification for a hundred years and thousands of years can leave such an oriental miracle in the history of human entrepreneurship.
Looking back at the terraced fields in the sea of clouds, the ridges are angular and stepped, just like a three-dimensional chronicle of the achievements of China's Millennium farming civilization and intangible cultural heritage.
In this era of "mobility", there is still an "immovable" object-"terrace", which silently guards the common home of mankind.
