? Cao Jia, a famous pear garden town in the province, is a provincial-level rural tourism demonstration town. According to Renshou County Records and authoritative experts' research, in the early Qing Dynasty, the Cao family had a record of planting pear trees on a large scale. Because of its pear planting history, the pears produced in Dongshan in those days were used as tribute pears in Yongzheng, and the "century-old pear town" was thus famous. In recent years, Cao's family has made full use of the advantages of being suitable for planting pears in their hometown, developed pear planting, popularized pollution-free standardized production technology and developed and planted more than 11 varieties of pears according to the requirements of modern efficient green and ecological agriculture. With a total area of about 23,111 mu, there are nearly 11,111 pear trees aged from 111 to 411, among which more than 7,111 pear trees have been listed for protection for more than 111 years. Pear farmers "prune, fertilize, thin flowers, spray, water, choose pears and bag", and every mile of work embodies the hard work and sweat of Cao villagers.
? (a) in March, spend things
? "is like a spring gale, come up in the night, blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees". In March, Caojia, a pear town that has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes, is like snow, and snow is like pear. Through time and season, pear flowers are received in the lewd drizzle. Especially those 411-year-old pear trees, bloom is still as beautiful as snow.
? If peach blossom is the face of spring, pear blossom must be the eyebrow of spring. There is a bright and clear place that belongs to a little girl, a leisurely breeze and bright moon, and a cloud of clouds and clouds.
? Ancient poets described pear flowers as snow and snow as pear flowers, both of which are beautiful things, and the poems described them very appropriately and vividly. It is no wonder that Pear Blossom has been endowed by literati in past dynasties with beautiful poems such as "Yushu Qiongpa heaps snow" and "Snow fragrance condenses trees". Pear flowers are as elegant and clean as lotus flowers. Lotus is not stained with mud. Although pear is born in the dust, it is still white and fragrant, and it is not stained by the secular world, so it is loved and recited by the world.
Pear blossoms bring forth spring flowers. I like photography. Every March, I will go to Caojia Lishu Community and Donglian Community with my photographers to take photos. Being in the pear garden, you are immersed in the white "flower sea", and your eyes are full of white pear blossoms, full and extreme, clusters and layers. Show without flattery, Qian without vulgarity, pure as jade, natural makeup, clear and refreshing, without any publicity. Open so leisurely, so clean and flawless, fragrant and light. Many tourists enjoy flowers in the spring, step on the soft soil, stay in the path of fragrant snow, and catch a picture with pear flowers, with a variety of customs. Butterflies dance lightly, flying flowers, like the story of Liang Zhu's eternal life. How can the white petals cross the branches of a thousand years and entangle the world of mortals, stirring up a pool of spring water, making a fleeting joy?
Pear blossoms irritate Chun Qing, and poetry is dyed with ink. I took a deep breath of fragrance, then quietly stared at the pear flower, looking at the flower like a text, looking at every bud, leaf and flower, and then reading the freshness of its life and the beauty beyond Vientiane. Although the pear blossom is not strong, the petals of the tree are as white as jelly, which is neither as white as snow nor as fragrant as plum. Brown branches, vicissitudes of hollow old pear trees, under the sky and white clouds, are like a group of centenarians, dedicating their smiles and strength of life to visitors from all over the world. Although the wind, frost, snow and rain exhausted the withered posture of pear trees, the flowers covered the thin branches and gave the purest white in the sun. Its whiteness is not the kind of lifeless pallor, but a kind of surplus whiteness full of vitality, with a moist texture, which is like dropping a drop of ink, and a wonderful ink painting will spread.
(2) A century-old pear tree
? The ancient pear garden has been green for hundreds of years. Cao Jia's old pear tree has a thick trunk, dark brown bark, deeply chapped tree body, hollow trunk and swaying branches and leaves, giving people an "old" feeling. Although it is a long life, it is still vigorous. It absorbs the aura of the world for hundreds of years, picks up the essence of the sun and the moon, and is unwilling to lag behind. It takes the lead in hanging white flowers, which are charming, lush and admirable. Looking from a distance, it looks like a layer of crystal clear spring snow. Sometimes bees smell the fragrance and collect honey, humming among the flowers, singing the hope of Cao Jia pear farmers for one year. Some old pear trees not only bloom, but also bear fruit. Because the old pear trees are not grafted, the pears are not very big, but the entrance is still crisp, sweet and refreshing.
? In the pear garden, looking up, almost every old pear tree is covered with crowns, and its branches and leaves are layered and dense, stretching around into a giant umbrella to protect the land of Cao's family. They are all alias Shengya: wife tree, sister tree, able-bodied tree, ambitious tree and so on. According to the Records of Renshou County, the "ambitious tree" in the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty was named because it looked like an old man hunched over with crutches. "Husband and wife tree", planted in the early years of Kangxi, was originally two adjacent trees. A few years later, the lower trunk merged into one, and the upper trunk embraced each other, which looked like a husband and wife. It is also said that the Wan couple who lived here in the early years embraced each other and became a tree after their death, so it was named "husband and wife tree". The origin of the "able-bodied tree" is that before the founding of New China, two brothers in Lishu Village escaped by taking advantage of the hollowness of the old pear tree in order to avoid catching able-bodied men.
? (3) When the pears are ripe, the fruit farmers smile < P >? By midsummer, it is the ripe season of early-maturing pears. Cao Jiali's cultural promotion activities were carried out in a warm and orderly manner under the scorching sun. Although the tobacco sales of the epidemic situation have not been extinguished, it still cannot stop Cao's family from being full of enthusiasm and harvest joy. On Jinli Square, the music is melodious, the rhythm is bright, and there are songs and dances. The villagers smiled and listened and watched carefully. There are varieties such as Golden Flower, Fengshui, Gold, Yuanhuang, LiuIn the snow and Gongli on the stage where the champion of "Pear King" is selected. Dozens of pear farmers from various communities are confident to compete with their own pears.
? On the competition booth, the baskets of golden and shiny pears attracted the onlookers to marvel and drool from time to time. After tasting one by one and fierce competition, Fengshui pear planted by Song Derong, a pear farmer from six groups in Donglian Village of Caojia Community, won the title of "Pear King". When we took pictures of him, he told us, "There are several acres of pear trees in my family, and there are many old pear trees. This year's pear king is grafted onto ancient trees through new technologies to grow fruit." Song Derong said happily, tidying up his pear basket. "Now is the ripe period of Fengshui pears. Many merchants have placed orders in advance. I have to hurry to pick them and let them eat my pears early."
? Around Jinli Square, it is the "Centennial Pear Garden" of Caojia Donglian Community and Lishu Community. This season, it is the harvest period of pear picking. When you enter the Centennial Pear Garden, the rich fruit fragrance comes to your face. All you see are pears covered with paper bags and covered with tree heads. Fruit farmers are busy picking, or sorting, bagging and boxing. The garden is full of baskets and a bumper harvest. This is the most gratifying season of the year.
? A century-old pear town brings a deep homesickness. Since 2114, the Cao family has held two grand events every year. First, in the spring of March, a spectacular pear blossom festival was held, and the description of spring as deep as the sea emerged here; Second, in the hot July, that pear tree has turned into a midsummer fruit, and its branches are full of branches, attracting many fruit traders to buy it. There are also leisure people in the county, and about three or five friends happily rush to Cao's house to taste the pear cream candy passed down from generation to generation and experience the fun of picking pears in the pear garden. Under the pear tree, those pears that are golden and green can be seen. Pick an entrance at will. They are all thin-skinned, sweet and juicy. That interest, that feeling, is simply not enough.
? (4) Dongli pear border
? There are two homestays built in Cao Jiaxin, not far from the Centennial Pear Garden. It perfectly combines the exquisite, comfortable and leisure service concept with the humanistic characteristics of Cao Jia, such as time, geography and human harmony. From the city to the countryside, from the garden between flowers to the village between flowers, the rural lifestyle awakens the yearning for beauty and freedom, feels the indifference in a corner of the century-old pear town in Caojia, and experiences the life of returning to nature.
? In particular, with its new Chinese design style, "Dongli Pear Land" incorporates Nordic simple elements, which can not only see wooden furniture, but also the decorative embellishment of fabric elements. Outdoor leisure courtyard, rooftop small swimming pool, oversized dining hall, reading corner, tea room and a retro piano; On the second floor of the Japanese residence, the beauty can also be used as a window to manage the clouds and apply yellow to the mirror; An intellectual woman can also play the piano and recite poems, and the moon will shine at dusk. Welcome you from afar, unload your luggage and fatigue in your heart, and enjoy a comfortable and quiet pastoral life like a pear countryman.
?
? In the morning, all was silent, and the night was about to fade away. At dawn, Li Hai, the chairman of the photography association and the photography teacher, and I made a special trip to photograph the newly-built homestay.
? The century-old pear tree in Caojiali Township is awakening the sleeping creatures, and the sun slowly scatters the clouds, and a homestay is looming. The light and shadow in the early morning are particularly soft. I love the curtain of the guest room and the chandelier with dreamy mood, revealing a warm and comfortable state, and the comfortable state of mind blends with the quiet and quiet living environment.
? Slowly with the sunshine, under the blue sky and white clouds, the B&B is active, and "wind, flowers, snow and moon" are perfectly integrated here. From a distance, the whole B&B is like a hanging painting given by nature, just like a natural place, exquisite and unique, quite with the amorous feelings of ancient landscape families.
(5) Snow in a silver bowl
? There is a long history of planting pear trees in Caojia. Only one hundred years ago, Donglian Community and Lishu Community planted more than 22,111 mu and more than 1 million pear trees, with an annual output of 81 million kilograms and an output value of 31 million yuan. There are more than 71,111 old pear trees in the past 311 years, and "Shuzhong Pear King" was selected as the cover of Sichuan Pear Records. Caojia pear brand has been awarded the title of high-quality pear in Sichuan Province for many times. The "ancient pear paste candy" is another star health product derived from Caojia pear in the past 111 years, which follows the ancient production process and is passed down from generation to generation. Caojia pear is not only a kind of fruit, but also a symbol of spiritual civilization, showing the humanistic spirit in the new period.
? In recent years, with the theme of "a century-old pear town with abundant land", the Party committee and government of Cao's hometown have made every effort to build the development of rural tourism, and actively guided farmers to build services such as farmhouse music, homestay and catering and a new look of series of tourism, thus becoming the beautiful countryside of Cao's Donglian community and pear tree community.
? The local Party committee and government also advocated fruit farmers to develop farmhouse music. Many fruit farmers welcomed visitors from all over the world during pear blossom and picking. They seize the city people's psychology that they like to go for an outing, enjoy flowers, pick fruits, taste the farmhouse flavor and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Cao's home, so as to generate income for themselves. It is with these favorable conditions adapted to local conditions that the pear farmers in Caojia lived a good life. In recent years, new houses have been built in the village, and the villagers have lived in spacious buildings and bought cars. The industrious and simple pear farmers in Caojia Town are like the old pear trees that they have guarded for generations. They don't worry, don't disturb, quietly bloom and hang fruits, and live a good life of silver bowls and snow.
