In the vast macroeconomic starry sky, there is such a bright star, which is called Yuanyang Terraces. Located in China's Yunnan Province, this terraced rice field is not only the crystallization of the wisdom and hard work of the Hani people, but also a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. However, this terraced rice field, which has been hailed as "a work of harmony between man and nature", once faced the fate of being demolished. In the decade of the last century, the country's agricultural reform policy required farmers to switch to cash crops, such as rice and corn, instead of traditional red rice. This change not only upset the ecological balance of the Yuanyang terraces, but also caused soil erosion and water depletion, and the farmers' livelihoods were in dire straits.
However, a turning point came quietly. Poverty did not end the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, but rather became a turning point. Today's Yuanyang Terraces not only make a profit of more than 100 million yuan, but also become a hot spot for tourism, attracting the attention of countless domestic and foreign tourists. All these changes stem from the attention and investment of the local people to the protection of terraces, as well as the revitalization of traditional farming culture. This not only improves the living standards of local farmers, but also strengthens their cultural self-confidence. Netizens have lamented that it was poverty that saved the Yuanyang terraces and made the people here rich.
