The cultural elements of rice include rice field painting, rice field landscape and rice field culture and art festival.

1. Paddy field painting

With paddy field as canvas and colored rice seeds as brush, creative design and scientific measurement and positioning are adopted to realize a series of giant paintings in the field. Paddy field painting, which originated in Japan, is made by planting different varieties of rice in paddy fields.

2. Paddy landscape

Paddy landscape is an aesthetic landscape with artistic appreciation value on the basis of traditional agricultural elements. For example: natural rice field landscape; Artificial rice field landscape. Natural paddy field landscape is a paddy field that grows naturally on plains or terraces, and blends with the surrounding mountains and rivers to form a beautiful paddy field that is flat and broad, or ups and downs and distinct layers.

3. Paddy field culture and art festival

Paddy field culture and art festival skillfully integrates regional culture, art and entertainment to give full play to the cultural (artistic) attributes of paddy fields, such as paddy field exhibition, paddy field music festival, DIY production of straw, international rice festival and so on. This mode of integration of production and tourism not only develops the economy, but also traditions the culture and entertains education.

Artificial rice varieties

It has a long history when it comes to artificial rice. In 1973, China hybrid rice breeding expert Yuan Longping successfully produced the world's first hybrid rice by scientific methods, so he was called the father of hybrid rice. After four years of research, he led the team to explore hundreds of rice seeds in the world and gained his own experience in self-pollination of rice seeds.

Yuan Longping thinks that wild rice is not necessarily self-pollinated. He found a wild rice called "Yejia" in Hainan Island, and successfully bred some combined rice with existing rice. These rice combinations can't pollinate themselves, but rely on the stamens of the rice seeds of other plants, but the yield is twice as high as that of the original rice.

However, in the first few years, although the rice yield of the cultivated new rice increased, and most of them had no pollen, which met the needs of new varieties, some of them had pollen, which could produce the next generation, and the rice yield was not abundant; But Yuan Longping didn't give up. By the ninth year, tens of thousands of new rice plants had no pollen, which met the requirements of new varieties, namely, three-line hybrid rice in Yuan Longping.
