Geographical advantageBeautiful scenery with mountains and rivers
Fujiabian Modern Agricultural Industry Demonstration Park is a provincial park, located in the south of Wuxiang Mountain, a national forest park, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, excellent environment, fragrant flowers and fruits all year round, lush forests, fruits, teas and bamboos, rippling blue water of Shenshan Lake, and abundant natural resources. Rich. The park has made use of its unique topography, pleasant ecological environment and simple local customs to build Shili Meiling, Shili Plum Blossom Avenue, Thousand Mu of Bamboo Sea, Thousand Mu of Tea Garden, Ten Thousand Mu of Strawberry, and Thousand Mu of Hilly Scenery Belt, successfully ranking among the national agricultural Popular science demonstration base, national leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration site, one of the top ten famous gardens in the country, a national AAA tourist attraction, and a national farmer entrepreneurship and innovation base.
In the 1980s, Fujiabian Park combined the low hills and hilly landforms and implemented comprehensive demonstration renovation of low hills and hills according to local conditions. It innovatively developed a plum and tea intercropping planting model and created a unique plum viewing landscape. It attracts millions of tourists from home and abroad every spring. Take an outing to enjoy plum blossoms in Meihua Mountain near Fujia.
The charm of aestheticsPlum tea symbiosis is so elegant
The fusion of tea and plum blossoms has existed since ancient times. In terms of planting, “Cha Jie” written by Luo Xun (1537-1620) of the Ming Dynasty recorded: “Tea gardens should not be mixed with bad trees, but cinnamon, plum, magnolia, magnolia, pines, bamboos and the like should be planted in between. It is also enough to cover the frost and snow and shade the autumn sun.” In terms of consumption, the use of plum blossoms and tea leaves to brew scented tea has been recorded in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In terms of connotation, the ancients believed that the elegance of plum and tea are closely related.
The characteristic agricultural landscape of Fujiabian plum-tea intercropping has high agricultural aesthetic value, blending order and chaos in oriental aesthetics. “The low intercropping design of plum trees is not only a perfect combination of ecology, but also a wonderful addition to the landscape.” Agricultural experts said that its chaotic beauty comes from its more than 130 kinds of mixed plum trees. During the flowering season, the garden Plum blossoms of the inner single-petal Zaobai, pink cinnabar, Jiangnan Palace pink, early jade butterfly and other varieties are blooming one after another. The pink, red and white of the plum blossoms and the green of the tea tree are combined into one, blooming little by little, like a spring painting.
The effect of fusionIntercropping system has many benefits
The Fujiabian plum-tea intercropping and tea culture system is an agricultural system centered on the composite planting of tea trees and plums, tea-making technology and tea culture. The intercropping planting model of this system shows a “1+1>2” integration effect in terms of landscape value and production value. The “Plum Blossom Tea” produced in the park is mellow, delicate, fresh and refreshing, with a unique fragrance, showing distinctive ecological and cultural landscape characteristics.Tea gardens using the intercropping model increase biodiversity, significantly improve the regional microclimate, improve the overall stress resistance of the system, and promote balanced and sustainable development.During the dry season, the plum trees shield the tea from direct sunlight, reduce leaf transpiration, and retain water and moisture; during the rainy season, the plum trees reduce soil erosion caused by surface runoff.In tea gardens under the intercropping mode, there are forest belts. The average wind speed within the range of 25 times the tree height can be reduced by 38%, the temperature difference between day and night is reduced, and the frost-free period is extended.Moderate shading can improve the photosynthetic efficiency of tea trees, increase production by more than 10%, and increase the amino acids in tea leaves by more than 34.8%.Good plant communities provide suitable habitats for various wild animals, especially birds, promote the formation of relatively stable biological chains, suppress pests and diseases, and help increase tea production and quality.
