Clouds and terraces are picturesque.

I have enjoyed many photos of terraced fields, and I am always shocked by the beautiful pictures. In May, the terraces were released. We started from the ancient weir painting town in Lishui, climbed more than 40 kilometers along the Panshan Highway, and went to Yunhe Chongtou Town to shoot terraces and witness the picturesque scenery of nature.

It is the spring ploughing season, the sunshine is charming, the wind in early summer is blowing slightly, the trees in the mountains are lush, the wild flowers are in full bloom and the air is fresh.

The terraced fields filled with water are like a mirror, opening their hearts to accept us. I have seen the harvest terraces with thousands of golden rice waves. In contrast, the water storage and tillage terraces in front of me are more distinct, with a strong sense of hierarchy, distinct lines and blocks, and the flowing curve is soft and spectacular.

Although not as neat as Longji terraced fields, I prefer its wildness, freedom and agility, and of course it is quieter and more primitive. If Longjitai is a handsome daughter-in-law, Yun He Taiwan is an elegant girl with a plain face.

Terraces are winding, which is formed by local people building dikes according to different topography and soil quality. Mountain spring water is introduced into terraced fields through a toilet semi-bamboo tube, mainly planting rice, but also a small amount of corn and other crops.

In China, it is easy to see terraces in both the south of the Yangtze River and the north of Saibei, but not all terraces have landscape value. There are ten landscape terraces in the world, and there are also ten most beautiful terraces in China, such as Yuanyang terraces in Yunnan and Longji terraces in Guilin. Yunhe Terrace, also known as Meiyuan Terrace, is not among the top ten beautiful terraces, but it is also known as one of the most beautiful terraces in China. It was once rated as one of the 40 most beautiful tourist attractions in China by CNN.

Get up at dawn, flashlight, along the stone road between terraces, climb to the top of the mountain, just to watch the sunrise sea of clouds terraces.

"The wonders of clouds, the world of clouds" is the biggest characteristic highlight of clouds and terraces. Due to the high altitude, the water in terraced fields and river valleys evaporates, and is fully absorbed by trees due to the influence of airflow, turning into fog and rain and staying in the alpine jungle. Clouds often surround hilltops and fields, forming a sea of clouds. When the sun rises in the morning, there will be an unpredictable and beautiful picture scroll, thus forming another sea of clouds terrace scenic spot-sunrise sea of clouds.

However, the appearance of the sea of clouds is largely restricted by natural climatic conditions, so it's all luck, but it seems that our luck is not so good.

The sky is turning white. Standing on the viewing platform, looking forward, you can see the whole terraced fields, distant mountains and villages. Although we didn't see the sunrise and the sea of clouds, people came to Shan Ye, a pure and beautiful rural area from the cement jungle city, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and fresh air, which was equally pleasing to the eye and refreshing. They put aside all their troubles and forgot all their troubles.

The air is wet and cold. Looking into the distance, the terraced fields extend from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, just like the rippling sea. Layers of green alternate with each other, bending layer by layer according to the mountain trend. The ridges between layers are staggered, and the light and shade change like glass light and shadow, from quiet simplicity to aestheticism, just like a beautiful girl dragging a long water-patterned skirt and a beautiful embroidery frame.

The terraced fields filled with clear water are sparkling and smooth as a mirror, one, two, one hundred, one thousand ... layer by layer, they blend into the circle and are as quiet as virgins. Terraces reflect clouds, bamboo and green spring, like an elegant painting, more like a beautiful poem.

The beauty of clouds and terraces is different from other places. This is a kind of uncut natural beauty. The terraced fields built on the mountain are like a huge harp. At first glance, they look like unordered curves, and the shapes of the fields are not similar. However, the fine reward is like a deformed staff stretching in the mountains, playing and singing gently for the mountains, the seasons and the hard-working terraced people, which is amazing.

On the ridge, the old cow bowed its head and chewed the grass, followed by a group of calves. At first glance, the terraced fields are like exquisite curves of beautiful women. Beautiful bright eyes are flashing in the water, and even the floating clouds can't help but turn their faces away from the sky blue, probably using the terraced fields as mirrors.

Yunhe terraced fields were first developed in the early Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, with a history of 1000 years. The altitude span is 200m- 1.400 m, and the vertical height is 1.200 m, with at most 700 floors, spanning three major geological landscape zones: mountains, hills and valleys. It is a large terrace group. The surrounding peaks are towering, the trees are lush, and the mountains, rivers, terraces and villages are in harmony. You can overlook from the sky and enjoy the scenery from below.

The charm of terraced fields lies in that they are not natural wonders, but the best cultural products accumulated by thousands of years of farming civilization. The Han and She people who have lived here for generations have built dikes according to different topography and soil quality, which embodies the strong will of the people in mountainous areas to survive in nature for a long time. With their hard-working and intelligent hands, they have continued the relay of this thousand years for their lives and created clouds and ancient myths.

When I left the clouds and terraces, I felt my heartstrings continue to vibrate. This trip to the sea of clouds terrace is really unforgettable. If clouds and terraces are a painting, this painting can only be called a green print, which is out of print of nature. However, I admire the people who live here more. They are the creators of this painting, and they will definitely create a painting-like future.
