Yuanyang Terraces Yuanyang County is full of mountains, all terraces are built on the hillside, and the slope of terraces is between 15 and 75 degrees. As far as a hillside is concerned, the highest number of terraces reaches 3000, which is rare in terraced landscape at home and abroad. There are three scenic spots in Hani Terrace in Yuanyang: eight scenic spots include Qingkou, Quanfuzhuang, Malicun and Zhulu terraces14,000 mu, Tiger Mouth terraces include nearly 6,000 mu of terraces such as Mengpin, Dongpu, Amunkong and Baoshan Village, and Duoyishu scenic spots include tens of thousands of acres of terraces such as Duoyishu, Ai Chun and Dawazhe. So many terraces are covered by vast forests and endless clouds, forming a magical and magnificent landscape. These scenic spots are the core protected areas that are currently preparing to declare World Heritage.

Yuanyang terraces are widely distributed. In addition to the above three scenic spots, there are Xiaopingzi Terrace in Daping Township, Nikupu Terrace in Fengchunling Township, Laocaozhai Terrace, Dayutang Terrace in Xiao Xin Street Township, Dalaka Terrace in Ganiang Township, Dawuzhai Terrace, Kuluzhai Terrace, Xincheng Terrace in Shangxin Town, Wazhen Terrace in Sarato Township, Yaozhai Terrace in Majie Township and so on.

Since 1980s, the visibility of Hani Terrace in Yuanyang has been increasing day by day, from the closed Ailao Mountain to the whole country and even the world. Experts, scholars and tourists from home and abroad flocked to the site. 1993 during the first international Hani culture seminar, more than 100 representatives from China, Holland, Japan, the United States, Britain, Thailand and other countries visited the Hani Terrace in Quanfuzhuang, Shengcun Township, and were deeply impressed by its magnificent landscape and rich culture. 1995, the French anthropologist Dr. Ouyena also visited the Hutou Terrace in Yuanyang. Facing the 10,000-acre terraced fields under her feet, Dr. Ou Yena was so excited that she didn't want to leave for a long time. He praised: "The terraced fields of Hani nationality are real earth art, real earth sculpture, and Hani nationality are real earth artists!" As long as you climb any mountain top in Yuanyang, you will see terraced fields filled with mud like mountains and seas.

Tianshan Mountain in the past seems to be a huge non-verbal history book, which intuitively shows the long history of Hani ancestors' tenacious struggle and prosperity under the dual pressure of nature and society. The ancient "Legend of Heaven, Earth and Man" of the Hani people said: The big fish created the universe and the first pair of people, the male named Zhita and the female named Tapo; Tabo gave birth to twenty-two babies, and the third was a dragon. When the dragon grew up, he became the dragon king in the sea. In order to thank Tabo for his parenting, he gave Tabo three bamboo tubes, one of which contained rice seeds. In other words, the Hani people believe that rice has existed since the beginning of the world. It shows that Hani nationality is one of the earliest nationalities to domesticate wild rice, and rice cultivation is the ancient production content of Hani nationality. For thousands of years, the Hani people domesticated the wild rice in the Sanjiang valley in Ailao Mountain area into dry rice, and improved the dry rice into rice. Under the unique ecological environment, the Sanjiang Basin has become one of the areas where human beings domesticated and planted rice in the early stage.

The Hani terraced field ecosystem in Yuanyang presents the following characteristics: above each village, there must be dense forests to provide water, wood and firewood, among which the sacred forest is featured; There are thousands of terraces under the village, which provide the basic conditions for the survival and development of Hani people: food; The village in the middle consists of ancient mushroom houses, forming a place where people live in peace. This structure is praised by cultural ecologists as four isomorphic highly harmonious, sustainable and virtuous cycle ecosystems: rivers, forests, villages and terraces. This is beautiful homeland where Hani people have lived and multiplied for thousands of years. The terraced landscape in Yuanyang has the best viewing and shooting time. The best season in a year is from June 165438+ 10 to April of the following year. At this time, there is no rice in the field, and the horizontal terraces are lit up layer by layer, and the light and shadow effect is excellent. Among them, the sea of clouds is often seen before and after the Spring Festival. Before and after the Lantern Festival, wild cherry blossoms, wild kapok, wild peach blossoms and pear blossoms are all red and white, which is very spectacular. The best shooting location in the morning is Duoyishu Scenic Area. When the sun reflects the morning fog, the terraces are gradually stained with golden light, and the Hani and Yi villages are misty and picturesque. Hukou Scenic Spot in Bada and Meng Ping is a must-see place to watch the sunset. Against the backdrop of sunset and rosy clouds, contiguous terraced fields are like the vast sea, magnificent, with various rhythmic levels and wonderful curves and colorful colors, which often make people stunned and wonder where they are. In the upper left corner of the tiger's mouth farthest from the line of sight, you can also see a fine horse raising its hooves! Other screw yards such as Qingkou, Longshuba and Panzhihua also have their own characteristics, so we must not miss them.

Hani terraces in Yuanyang are so magnificent and unique. Firstly, it is caused by the special geographical structure of nature. Yuanyang is located in the south of Yunnan Province, with high terrain in the northwest and low terrain in the south. From Zhongdian and Lijiang in the northwest to Simao, Banna, Honghe and Wenshan in the south, the altitude gradually drops, forming a cold temperate and cold zone climate type with no summer all the year round in the high altitude area of northwest Yunnan and a subtropical and tropical climate type with no winter all the year round in the low altitude area of south Yunnan. From northwest Yunnan to south Yunnan, with the decrease of altitude, the stereoscopic climate becomes more and more obvious, and the rainfall is also increasing. The largest rainfall in the whole province is in the Hani nationality concentrated area on the south bank of Honghe River, with an average annual rainfall of 1.397.6 mm. The corresponding rice planting is becoming more and more intensive, and the dry land planting is decreasing. This makes the terraced rice culture more and more developed from the Nujiang River, Lancang River and Yangtze River systems in northwest Yunnan to the southern Yunnan water system, and finally forms the geographical composition environment of the most concentrated and developed terraced rice planting area in the whole province and even the whole country in Hani area in the southern section of Ailao Mountain on the south bank of the Red River.

Secondly, the specific topography, climate and other natural conditions of Ailao Mountain also determine that the Hani terraced fields in Yuanyang must be the most magnificent and unique spectacle. The landform of Yuanyang is characterized by high mountains and deep valleys, criss-crossing ravines, mostly of the cutting mountain type, that is, the mountains in the county are deeply cut by the red river and the rattan river system, with the middle protruding, the sides low, and a bird's eye view of the whole territory. The mountains are continuous and mountainous, and the terrain develops in a "V" shape, which is spectacular and abnormal. The lowest elevation in China is 144m, the highest elevation is 2939.6m, and the height difference is 2795.6m Most of the climate in the county belongs to subtropical monsoon type, but the three-dimensional climate is outstanding due to the complex terrain and disparity. The annual average temperature in the dam area is 25 degrees and the highest temperature is 42 degrees. The annual average temperature in mountainous areas is 1 1.6 degrees, and the temperature difference between the two places is 13.4 degrees. In the journey from the river dam to the alpine region through low mountains and high mountains, it is necessary to experience changes in the tropics, temperate zones and cold zones. As the saying goes, "a mountain is divided into four seasons, and ten miles are different from the sky." Heba Gorge is called "dry-hot valley area" because of extreme heat and drought, and alpine area is called "wet-cold area" because of low temperature rainfall. The evaporation in the dam area is large, the cloud density is high and the rainfall is abundant in the alpine area. There are 29 tributaries in the water system, which is dominated by the two main streams of Red River and Tenghe River, with a total length of more than 700 kilometers. The total water resources are 2.69 billion cubic meters, the surface is 2.0865438 billion cubic meters, and the groundwater is 609 million cubic meters. These rivers are the total source of all water sources in Yuanyang. The perennial high temperature in the low-latitude dry-hot valley makes the river water evaporate a lot (for example, the maximum evaporation in Nansha area 1995 is 65438+2306.5mm). As the hot air mass rises layer by layer, a huge amount of water vapor is cooled and oppressed by the cold air mass in the "wet and cold area" of the mountain, resulting in the situation that the annual average fog period in Yuanyang is 180 days and the annual average rainfall is 1397.6mm, which is also the reason why the fog covers the upper part of Yuanyang all the year round, the rainfall is extremely rich and the sea of clouds is magical and magnificent.
