As soon as we got off the bus, a bluestone sculpture called "Genggeng" attracted us. "This is the landmark building of the Agricultural Cultural Park!" Aunt tour guide said, "If you plant a seed in spring, you will reap 1000 tons of grain in autumn. Farming indicates the beginning of a year's farming and symbolizes the starting point of autumn harvest. " Wu Chu Agricultural Culture Park, the main entrance of the Agricultural Park, was inscribed by Gongda Yan, vice chairman of China Calligraphers Association. The word "home" on the wall facing the garden gate represents sowing in spring, irrigation in summer, harvest in autumn and storage in winter, representing bumper crops and prosperous family business ... I didn't expect the layout in front of the farming garden to contain so much knowledge!
When we enter the farming cultural park, we first go to the production equipment hall. Many traditional utensils from farmers' production and life are collected here, and the ancient agricultural production process and farmers' labor and life scenes are displayed with pictures and materials. We visited the patio, stove, spinning wheel, wooden barrel and so on. With great interest, among them, a rare wooden waterwheel opened our eyes. In ancient times, there was no water pump, and industrious and clever working people designed wooden waterwheels to meet the needs of irrigating crops. There are several pedals on a wooden post in the water truck. The wooden pillars roll to drive the boards, and the water in the river is pushed into the fields for irrigation. It takes several people-Qi Xin and Qi Xin. I stood on the pedal of the waterwheel curiously, and it took me a lot of effort to step on it. It's not easy to think about the industrious working people. It's really "who knows that every grain is hard!" " "In the daily necessities museum, a stone mill was packed with tourists. In ancient times, people used it to grind and process grains. There are regular grooves in the upper and lower sectors, deep in the middle and shallow outside, leaving a certain gap in the middle. When the beans go down inside, they first enter the gap in the middle part according to the engraved chute channel. With the rotation of the upper stone mill, the gaps become smaller and smaller, and finally they become powder. This is the most primitive soymilk machine! Many tourists curiously pushed the stone mill forward, and they pulled me to push it. The stone mill is as steady as Mount Tai. The staff on the side instructed everyone to stand in a good position and put their hands in the correct operating position, which made the stone mill work. Not far away came the smell of needle soybean milk, and everyone followed. It turns out that there is a handmade tofu workshop in the handicraft workshop area, which is showing how tofu was made in the past. We couldn't resist the temptation of bean fragrance, sat by the lotus pond, tasted handmade tofu, and enjoyed the fish playing among water lilies, not to mention how pleasant it was ... and then visited the handmade workshops such as cotton cloth and rapeseed oil pressing. After a short day's visit, we felt the wisdom, diligence and simplicity of the ancients, learned a lot of agricultural knowledge and splendid farming culture, and learned about the traditional customs and culture of farmers. It was an eye-opener!
