Guangming Daily, Beijing, May 24th, reporter Chen ChenIt was learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the 24th that recently, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) completed an inspection online for the first time and officially recognized three traditional agricultural systems in my country as important global agricultural cultural heritages, namely the Anxi Tieguanyin tea culture system in Fujian, and Alu Horqin in Inner Mongolia. Grassland nomadic system and dry farming Shiyan terrace system in Shexian County, Hebei Province. Up to now, my country’s global important agricultural cultural heritage has increased to 18, ranking first in the world.
Fujian Anxi Tieguanyin tea culture system is located in the southeast of Fujian Province. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Anxi tea went to the world via the Maritime Silk Road, and now it has become an important cultural symbol of the Maritime Silk Road. The system also has significant ecological functions such as water conservation, soil and water conservation, and microclimate regulation.
The Inner Mongolia Alu Horqin Grassland Nomadic System is located in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is the first nomadic agricultural heritage site selected in my country, and it is also a global model of sustainable animal husbandry and fragile pasture management. Early inhabitants of the area lived hunting and nomadic life as early as the Neolithic Age. The system has diverse ecological landscapes such as forests, grasslands, wetlands, and rivers. The local herdsmen still adhere to the traditional nomadic life today. Through continuous grazing, vegetation is protected, water resources are rationally utilized, and the stable supply of livestock products and diverse food sources are guaranteed.
The dry farming Shiyan terrace system in Shexian County, Hebei Province is located in Handan City, Hebei Province. For hundreds of years, the system has not only preserved the rich traditional crop varieties and environment-friendly farming techniques to ensure the development of agricultural production under harsh conditions in the mountains, but also created a mountain terraced landscape that witnesses the harmonious coexistence between people and nature.
