[Explanation] The Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit is approaching. On the orange fields in Chencun Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, golden oranges are hanging all over the branches. On the truck on the side of the road, more than a thousand pots of New Year's oranges are about to be transported to Jiangxi.

　　During the Spring Festival, almost every household in southern China will buy several pots of New Year’s oranges, which means "good luck".

As a well-known "Millennium Flower Township" at home and abroad, Chencun has a long history of planting New Year's oranges.

Due to the vertical and horizontal rivers, dense water network and suitable climate, Chencun Nianju has the characteristics of high fruit-setting rate and golden and plump fruit.

　　There are relatively few typhoons this year, so our overall climate is more suitable for Nianju, and the harvest is relatively high and better, so our Nianju this year is also more ornamental. This year’s sales are expected to increase by 10% % to 15%, it is expected to achieve a sales volume of around 500 million (RMB).

　　[Explanation] Xianyong Village is the village with the largest planting area and the largest number of tangerines in Chencun Town. The villagers are mainly engaged in planting flowers and tangerines, forming a flower village where "households make their careers in flowers and the village is famous for flowers".

The reporter saw in Xianyong Village recently that trucks were constantly on the road, and as the New Year oranges were sold one after another, many empty pots appeared in the orange fields.

　　The good thing is that the epidemic has been released earlier, so we don't have to worry about the flower markets not being able to open. Now all the flower markets (opened) are open, and the flavor of the new year is stronger. We all know that the flavor of the new year has come early.

So you can see that we in Chencun have also held a winter jasmine flower fair, and many buyers have come to sell our New Year’s oranges. Basically, this year, we don’t have to worry about it, as they are basically sold out.

　　[Explanation] At present, the 39th Chencun Yingchun Flower Market is being held on Fanghua Avenue, Chencun Flower World. This is the largest flower market in Foshan.

This year, the Chencun Yingchun Flower Market has been upgraded to create a Shili Flower Street with "two points, one area and eight sceneries", which stretches for 10 kilometers. There are more than 500 flower fields and 700 stalls along the way, including nearly 10,000 varieties of New Year's Eve flowers.

　　In the winter jasmine flower market in Chencun, Nianju and Phalaenopsis are still the best-selling varieties.

In front of a stall selling New Year oranges, customers came to inquire about prices from time to time.

　　[Same period] Ms. Du, the person in charge of flower stalls

　　Our New Year’s oranges are purchased from the base in Chencun, and this year’s oranges are easier to sell, and (compared to last year) are a little bit more expensive. Our (compared) normal market price is slightly cheaper, and we will sell them to customers. 80 yuan, so this is Century Orange.

　　[Explanation] It is worth mentioning that in recent years, orange farmers in Chencun have designed potted oranges in different shapes, making them more Lingnan bonsai style.

In 2020, "Chencun Nianju Cultivation Technique" was selected into the eighth batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Shunde District, Foshan.

　　Recently, the Chencun Nianju Association also held a Nianju research activity, allowing parents and children to further inherit the Nianju culture of Chencun by making "lucky buckets" with Nianju and other materials.

　　[Concurrent] Mr. Feng, a citizen of Shunde

　　The main reason is to bring the children over to have more exchanges and feel the atmosphere of the coming New Year. ("Fortune Bucket") may express that the New Year is to attract wealth and wealth, so that the children will be healthy and healthy.
