The history of rice


Emperor Kangxi, i.e. AI xinjueluo Xuanye, the sage of the Qing Dynasty, was the longest serving feudal emperor in Chinese history. He was not only a rare wise monarch, but also an "agricultural expert". Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to the scientific practice and research of agriculture. Many valuable grain varieties were more or less related to him, while some were famous for him.
Royal rice
Royal rice "born in Yuantian" has been planted in the South and north of China. It has good color, fragrance and taste. It also has the functions of nourishing body, nourishing blood and nourishing body. According to the records in Volume 2 of the general examination of the time service, "Shengyu was made by the emperor. In fengzeyuan, there were several paddy fields, and corn seeds were planted in Yutian. From the year of old to September, he began to mow and get on the stage. One day, he walked through the fields. In late June, the valley was stable and square. Suddenly, a family, which is superior to rice, has been established. Because of the collection of its species, it will be tested whether it matures early next year. In June of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of fruit ripened first, and since then it has never been born. After getting this kind of rice seed, Kangxi was very happy. He collected it carefully, cultivated it, and expanded it.
Because of its early maturity and good quality, this high-quality rice variety is suitable to be planted in northern areas of Xuanhua. It can also be cultivated in northeast areas where frost comes earlier. It is of certain significance for the development of rice production and for northern people to eat rice. "At the turn of summer and autumn, if wheat and rice are not picked up, it will benefit the people." When Kangxi was 60 years old, he wrote with pleasure and indolence: "for more than 40 years, all kinds of rice have been used in neishan. Its color is reddish and its grain is long. It is fragrant and its taste is reflected. It was born in Yuantian, so it was named" Royal rice. "Kangxi did not regard" Royal rice "as special for the royal family. He proposed" willing to share this grain with the rest of the world ", and actively promoted Shenzhi in various places. After long-term cultivation and promotion by working people, "Royal rice" has been planted in Jilin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Andun, Fujian and other provinces in China.

The grain is m cylindrical, dark red inside and outside, and lingering red line in Shunwen. After cooking, it has a different fragrance and a good taste. It is still fragrant after three times. Because every time you return to the pot, the rice grains stretch once, the more brilliant the color is, and the more fragrant the aftertaste is, so it is called "three stretch waist" rice.
It is said that in the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, a local landlord was on a tour in a rice field. Suddenly, he saw a rice ear which was different from the others. It looked like a dry japonica seed. The plant height was early maturing and the ear was red with awn. He pinched a few grains and rubbed off the skin. Suddenly, he felt a strange fragrance coming. The color was red and the grain was long. This anecdote was reported to the court by the government. Emperor Kangxi heard the music, so he went to Fengnan to taste the rice. Longyan was very happy, so he named it "Rouzhi rice" and granted it as imperial use.
