Editor In Pu'er, Yunnan, on the banks of the Lancang River, in the dense forest of Jingmai Mountain, there is a rare artificially cultivated ancient tea forest in the world, which is our world residence.
One bud and two leaves" is the logo of our Brown family. For thousands of years, our ancestors have planted and picked tea in Jingmai Mountain for generations, creating a harmonious landscape of man-land tea with "mountains and forests, forest tea, and tea around the village". There is an ancient banyan tree on the mountain that is 50 meters high, which grows together with the ancient tea forest. The banyan tree is tall and stout, strong enough to withstand high winds. Every year when spring tea is mined, many bees fly to the tree to build nests, and now there are nearly 100 beehives hanging densely on it. "To each his own harmony to live, to each his own nourishment." Honey bees collect nectar and pollinate, and plants such as banyan, camphor and dendrobium in the ancient tea forest grow vigorously, and the forest delivers abundant natural nutrients to the ancient tea trees. Therefore, when the ancient tea forest is infested, the first thing we think of is to use the self-healing ability of ecology. Respecting nature, caring for nature, and maintaining ecological balance, man and nature can coexist in harmony.
Take care of the tea tree as you love your own eyes", this sentence is widely spread in Jingmai Mountain, and has become the consensus of the villagers. The prohibition of the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the prohibition of destructive picking, etc., have long been written into the village rules and regulations, and everyone consciously protects everyone's common home. Good natural resources are a valuable asset. Now, many villagers have opened homestays, and more and more people are doing live broadcasts and selling tea through e-commerce platforms. More people come to Jingmai Mountain to travel, the sales of tea have become wider, more young people are willing to return to the village to participate in cultural protection and inheritance, and life in the village has become more prosperous. The foundation of a better life and sustainable development is in a good ecology. Keeping the "root" of good ecology and coordinating protection and development will allow sesame seeds to bloom in the future.
Only by stepping out of a corner and facing the world can we open up a broader space for development. Jingmai Mountain is located on the important branch of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and the tea ** has enabled us to have exchanges with other places in terms of agricultural technology, production and life, cultural customs, etc., which provides development opportunities for the village. In September 2023, at the 45th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, China's "Pu'er Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape" was inscribed on the World Heritage List. Today, the infrastructure of the ancient village is more perfect, the dilapidated houses have been repaired on the basis of retaining the original style, the mountain is "electrified", and the road into the village is flatter and wider. There is not only the "originality" of the local culture, but also the "newness" that keeps up with the times, and the better and better hometown makes us more confident in the future development. Today's Jingmai Mountain, tea trees are green, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and we show our culture to the world generously through various forms such as ** and dance.
**The General Secretary pointed out: "World cultural and natural heritage is an important achievement of the development of human civilization and natural evolution, and an important carrier for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations. It is our common responsibility to protect, inherit and make good use of these precious treasures, and it is an inevitable requirement for the continuation of human civilization and the sustainable development of the world. Nowadays, the sign of "free tea" can be seen everywhere on Jingmai Mountain, we welcome tea merchants and tourists to come here to taste the charm of tea, and will continue to protect this natural treasure, cultural treasure, so that the thousand-year-old tea fragrance of Jingmai Mountain will be passed on for a long time.
