With 20000000 mu of gold, give you the best spring
May 7th, 2022

The flowers are less than one centimeter in diameter and simple in shape, but they converge into the most magnificent flower scene in spring.

It’s rape flower.

Rape flower is the “by-product” of important crop rape.

Rape is widely distributed in China, from south to north, from seashore to plateau. The flowering period also lasts from early spring to Midsummer due to the difference of temperature between North and south.

In Hunan, the flowering period of rape flowers generally spans from March to April. Moreover, Hunan’s rape planting area ranks first in the country all year round, reaching about 20 million mu.

Warm spring breeze, 20 million mu of gold, to paint a large piece of gold on the land of Sanxiang.

It has a close relationship with people, and poets describe it in poetry.

Fertile fields, Sangjing evening, flat wild vegetables and flowers.

Different from other poets, Qianlong, whose main business is the emperor, paid more attention to its practicability.

Yellow calyx and green leaves are thick,

Qiancun Xinbu squeezes new oil.

Love him,

Not idle flowers and weeds.

——Cauliflower: Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty

Indeed, people grow it on a large scale as an important source of oil.

Returning the residual roots, straw, fallen flowers and fallen leaves of rape to the field can also improve the soil and improve the soil fertility. Therefore, “rice oil rotation” is an important extension model in agricultural production in our province.

Now, it has become an extremely important ecotourism resource.

In 2021, driven by the provincial rape flower festival, 38 districts and counties in the province held rape flower festival activities, attracting 5.87 million tourists and realizing a comprehensive tourism income of 2.14 billion yuan.

Blowing the warm wind of spring, with three or five friends, let’s enjoy the sea of rape flowers together!
