First, interpretation.
Waxy, Chinese characters, 20 strokes, left and right structure, refers to a kind of rice, which is sticky. The south is called glutinous rice.
Second, the source.
Just sitting in an old earthen basin, with delicious glutinous rice floating, eating straight and not waking up. -"The Right Self-Order".
Third, a brief introduction to glutinous rice.
Glutinous rice, also known as glutinous rice, is the shelled kernel of Gramineae rice (glutinous rice). It is called "Longevity Rice". Glutinous rice is milky white, opaque, translucent and sticky, which can be divided into indica rice and japonica rice. Glutinous rice is widely distributed in China, and varieties of glutinous rice that meet the needs of local geography and market environment have been cultivated in all major rice areas.
The northern rice areas are mainly japonica glutinous rice, generally late rice, with cold tolerance and drought tolerance; There are many varieties of glutinous rice in southern China, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Fujian, and the yield is relatively high, generally exceeding 500kg/667m2. Yunnan, Guizhou and Shaanxi Hanzhong are rich in resources, including many special rice, because of their special geographical and cultural environment.
Cultivation of glutinous rice:
Before sowing, choose sunny weather and sun the seeds for 1 ~ 2 days; When drying seeds, dilute them and turn them frequently to make them dry evenly, but pay attention to prevent chaff from being damaged. By drying the seeds, not only the seeds can be disinfected, but also the seeds can be dried evenly, which is beneficial to uniform water absorption during soaking and orderly germination and emergence. In order to make the seeds germinate more evenly, the seeds must be soaked in water.
In the process of soaking seeds, water should be changed frequently until the color of the seed shell is deepened, translucent, the embryo expands, the belly white is clearly visible, and the endosperm becomes soft. Seed disinfection is combined with seed soaking. After the seeds are soaked in water for about 65,438 0.2 hours, the seeds are scooped up and dripped dry, diluted by 300 times with strong chlorine powder and clear water, then soaked and disinfected by liquid medicine for 65,438 0.2 hours, then washed with clear water, and soaked with sufficient water to accelerate germination.
When accelerating germination, put the seeds soaked with enough water into the laundry basket and cover them with wet sacks to ensure the humidity and temperature of accelerating germination. Germination temperature is generally controlled at 28-35℃. Accelerating germination 1 ~ 2 days can accelerate the seeds to the state of "one root grows and half a bud grows", and then sowing can be carried out.
