#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Xinhua, Loudi, Hunan, China is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many scenic spots in Xinhua, Loudi. This time I will introduce a very famous scenic spot in the local area: Ziquejie Terraced Fields. The Ziqiejie Terraces have a history of 2,000 years. They originated in the pre-Qin period and flourished in the Song and Ming dynasties. They are the result of the joint labor of the ancestors of China's Miao, Yao, Dong, Han and other ethnic groups. They are a historical relic of the fusion of mountain fishing and hunting culture and rice-growing culture. They are a prominent and iconic cultural landscape in the Gumeishan area. The water level of the Zidazaojie Terraces is as high as the mountains, as high as the fields. There is no mountain pond or reservoir here, and there is no need for artificial water diversion for irrigation. The natural gravity irrigation system is breathtaking. National water conservancy experts have commented that it is comparable to the Dujiangyan and Lingqu Canal, and call this gravity irrigation system "a miracle of the world's water conservancy and irrigation projects." The ingenious fusion of southern rice-growing culture and hunting culture has created the rice-growing cultural relics of Ziquejie where people and nature live in harmony. The folk customs here are simple, and the Miao and Yao customs have been passed down from generation to generation. Meishan folk songs are unique and well-known to women and children; Meishan cuisine and Meishan martial arts are unique in style; Zi folk houses are antique and have a magical flavor; The Ziquejie terraces are built according to the terrain of the mountain. Some are as small as a plate, some are as big as a basin, some are as long as a belt, and some are as curved as a moon. They have various shapes and variations, just like the Yaochi in the sky and a fairyland on earth. The Ziqiaojie area has a profound cultural heritage and abundant cultural resources. Mountain songs, folk songs, and love songs are widely circulated among the people. The dragon and lion dance and grass dragon dance have unique styles, and the Miao and Yao customs remain the same.
