Editor's note:

  Every Chinese who lives hard is the most beautiful struggler.

It is precisely because of the hundreds of millions of strugglers that China is today.

Ten years, pay tribute to every one of you who have struggled.

Let us work hard together for the new era, and never slack in the future.

  [Explanation] The most beautiful April day in the world is the end of spring and March.

Recently, more than 6,000 acres of Wenzheng mountain bamboo shoots in Shexian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province ushered in the harvest period.

In the early morning, the villagers took advantage of the fine weather to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

In the depths of the verdant bamboo forest, amidst the sound of hoes one after another, bamboo shoots with white shells and bright yellow were put into bamboo baskets, and then reached people's dining tables as quickly as possible.

  [Explanation] According to the "She County Chronicles" of the Republic of China: "The spring bamboo shoots are crowned with Wenzheng Mountain, and the red sheaths and white meat are broken when they fall to the ground." During the Qianlong to Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, among the tributes paid to She County, in addition to Hui ink and She inkstone, There are also 2 barrels of Wenzheng bamboo shoots, 20 catties per barrel. Therefore, Wenzheng bamboo shoots are called "tribute bamboo shoots", which is not in vain.

  [Same period] Wang Banghua, an agricultural cadre in Huicheng Town, Shexian County, Huangshan City, said that a large number of Huizhou merchants went out to do business in the past. They took a boat from Yuliang (village), and then served Huizhou ham with bamboo shoots and stewed all the way to Hangzhou. The fragrance of bamboo shoots came out.

It is said that one day Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River in low clothes, passed by the boats of Huizhou merchants, smelled the strong fragrance, and then rushed over. The hospitable Huizhou merchants invited Emperor Qianlong to taste it together. "Ask the government to pay tribute to the bamboo shoots".

Since then, Anhui merchants doing business abroad have brought the brand of Wenzheng Gongzhu to all parts of the country, and it is also well received by current consumers. Wenzheng Gongzhu has also become a main dish of Anhui cuisine.

  [Explanation] It is understood that Wenzheng Village in Shexian County is prosperous because of bamboo. The bamboo gardens all over the mountain not only preserve the excellent ecology, but also provide the villagers with an important source of income.

In recent years, based on ecological protection, Huangshan County has consciously maintained a thousand acres of bamboo sea, established a professional cooperative for Wenzheng tribute bamboo shoots, and successfully applied for the national geographical indication of "Wenzheng Mountain Bamboo Shoots" in 2016.

  [Same period] Wang Yongfei, Secretary of Wenzheng Village, Shexian County, Huangshan City Now we have more than 1,200 Wenzheng villagers, and the bamboo garden covers an area of ​​more than 6,000 mu. This year (2022) the output of Wenzheng spring bamboo shoots can reach more than 5 million catties.

  [Same period] Zheng Dexian, a villager in Wenzheng Village, Shexian County, Huangshan City, has the most (spring bamboo shoots) at this time, and he digs more than one hundred catties a day. There are many pieces (one catty).

  [Explanation] According to Wang Yongfei, secretary of Wenzheng Village in Shexian County, Wenzheng Village took the opportunity of "tribute bamboo shoots" to continuously hold Wenzheng Tribute Bamboo Shoot Cultural Festivals, and carried out experiential activities such as digging bamboo shoots to promote rural revitalization through rural tourism.

Through the publicity and display of bamboo culture, make live bamboo articles, expand bamboo resources, and establish an image of "Qingfeng Wenzheng" with a fresh and pleasant ecological style, a clean and honest style, and a clean and harmonious neighborhood style.

Bring bamboo products such as spring bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots, whip shoots, bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets hidden in the deep mountains to the market, and create a "bamboo garden economy" for villagers to get rich and revitalize the countryside.
