Resumen
Descripción
Youxi Lianhe Terraces of Fujian Province have a long history. It has been over 1,700 years since the Disaster of Yongjia (311 AD) in the Western Jin Dynasty when people fled from the Central Plain here and brought wasteland into cultivation, forming the rudiments of terraces. There are clear written records saying that habitation history of Youxi can be dated back to the Tang Dynasty of over 1,300 years ago. Youxi ancestors reclaimed wasteland into terraces on slopes and finally created a three- dimensional circular agricultural ecosystem, i.e. water conservation forest-bamboo forest-village-terrace-combination of terrace and village-river, with the efforts of several generations.
