The scythe is wielded, and the music of the harvest is played; Sweat is sprinkled, and a harvest of hope is born; The rice is low, grateful for the nourishment of the earth; The melons and fruits are fragrant, telling the sweetness of the years.
September 22, 2024 (the autumn equinox of the lunar calendar) is the seventh Chinese farmers' harvest festival. In this season full of hope and harvest, Panyu, Guangzhou, the "land of fish and rice", is filled with the joy of harvest, and the beautiful autumn harvest pictures are slowly unfolding, telling people the story of the harvest.
In Panyu, drones hover over vast rice paddies for seeding and pesticide spraying operations are both efficient and accurate, greatly improving the yield and quality of crops. The intelligent irrigation system ensures that each crop is nourished with precise water.
By controlling the temperature and humidity and adjusting the growth cycle of flowers, flower growers can thrive and bloom at a specific time to meet market demand and provide a strong guarantee for the diversification of agricultural products.
The various processes of aquaculture are mechanized one by one, so that the limited labor force can do the work that cannot be mechanized in a short time, and modern technology helps the breeding to be more efficient.
The new farmers use modern technology to manage farmland, use their own marketing experience, build agricultural product brands, promote Panyu's agricultural products to a broader market, and inject new vitality into rural revitalization.
Combined with rich agricultural resources and unique Lingnan culture, rural tourism in Panyu has flourished in recent years. Tourists can taste authentic Panyu food here, and can also deeply experience the traditional farming culture of Lingnan, and feel the tranquility and harmony of the modern urban countryside.
With the in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, farmers no longer only rely on traditional agricultural planting, but actively develop new industries and new formats such as characteristic agriculture, rural tourism, and rural e-commerce, broaden the channels for increasing income, improve living standards, and inject strong impetus into rural revitalization with their own practical actions, and write a new chapter in the development of modern agriculture in the new era with their own wisdom.
Hard work, in exchange for the full warehouse of splendor, the sun shines, warm every heart. The harvest festival is a tribute to the hard work of farmers, a celebration of agricultural harvest, and a beautiful expectation for rural revitalization. Thanksgiving for the gift of nature, paying tribute to ordinary and great workers, the new picture of rural revitalization of industrial prosperity, rural beauty, and people's prosperity is slowly unfolding, and the scene of the earth is brilliant and dazzling.
