00:00Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:30In the peak of production period, only ShuiZhaXinVillage can produce up to 130,000 chrysanthemums.
00:38Next, let's follow the footsteps of reporters Huang HuiXian, Chen Kaixuan and Chen HuiYi
00:42to visit the ShuiZhaXinVillage in the village of chrysanthemums
00:46and learn about the growth path of chrysanthemums together.
00:51A large piece of rice fields, with warm yellow decorations,
00:54will become a golden ocean on the earth.
00:57Chrysanthemums are everywhere in the vast fields.
01:02Before the end of the year,
01:04ShuiZhaXinVillage, the largest Chinese rice fielding area in ZouYongPili,
01:07has more than 400 million chrysanthemums.
01:09Tens of thousands of chrysanthemums planted in the garden
01:12are sold out in a year.
01:14I am Cai BoJiang. This is my land.
01:17There are more than 20,000 chrysanthemums here.
01:19I have been planting chrysanthemums for more than 40 years.
01:22My surname is Tian. My name is YongShui.
01:24This is my chrysanthemum garden.
01:26There are about 10,000 chrysanthemums planted here.
01:34ShuiZhaXinVillage is the largest rice fielding area in the whole of MaChina.
01:37The annual chrysanthemum plantings are mainly based on the four seasons chrysanthemums and dragon-egg chrysanthemums.
01:40The four seasons chrysanthemums are popularly known as the four seasons chrysanthemum,
01:42with their round and small fruits,
01:44symbolizing the peace and stability of the four seasons.
01:45The noble and domineering dragon-egg chrysanthemum
01:47has larger and more prominent fruits.
01:49The leaves are curled, and the trunks naturally grow upward.
01:52This year's dragon-egg chrysanthemum is particularly beautiful.
01:54Look at all the fruits.
01:56The dragon-egg chrysanthemum is one of the only chrysanthemums
01:58in the past 10 years.
02:00This is the only chrysanthemum in the year.
02:02The owner of the chrysanthemum garden,
02:04who is known for his dragon-egg chrysanthemum,
02:06is the father of the chrysanthemum in ShuiZhaXinVillage.
02:10This chrysanthemum was imported from Singapore
02:12by a relative of Jin MaLun's garden.
02:15He asked me to try planting it here.
02:23The number of chrysanthemums we planted at that time was very small.
02:28There were about 1,000 chrysanthemums.
02:30The problem was that we were inexperienced,
02:32so we had to rely on our imagination.
02:34We failed in the first year.
02:38In the second year, we were able to master some chrysanthemums,
02:41and the results were better.
02:44From the beginning,
02:46he slowly explored the ways of planting chrysanthemums,
02:48and created a large-scale chrysanthemum garden.
02:51The owner, who is over 70 years old,
02:53has devoted most of his life to planting chrysanthemums.
02:56A chrysanthemum tree must go through several steps,
02:59from planting to growing,
03:01including watering, fertilising,
03:03spraying pesticides, eliminating pests,
03:05picking flowers and fruits, and so on.
03:07At every stage, it must be taken care of like a newborn.
03:10Planting chrysanthemums may seem simple,
03:12but it requires a lot of effort.
03:15We have to observe it every day and every hour.
03:19Observing the growth of the chrysanthemum
03:21is like taking care of a baby.
03:24It is also alive.
03:27Although most of the steps of planting chrysanthemums
03:29can now be automated,
03:31some skills are difficult to replace with machines.
03:34At the end of each year,
03:35some mothers and mothers-in-law in the new village
03:37will carry out the task of manually tying chrysanthemums.
03:40They will use their skills to take care of the chrysanthemums
03:42that have grown so much.
03:44In order to make the chrysanthemums
03:46into a neat round body,
03:48the workers have to first put the chrysanthemum rings
03:50on the bamboo slices that have been inserted into the pot,
03:52and then wrap the chrysanthemum with the chrysanthemum juice
03:54and wrap it around the bamboo slices.
03:56The method seems simple,
03:58but it requires a lot of beauty, patience, and physical strength.
04:00The number of people who are willing to tie chrysanthemums
04:02is also decreasing.
04:03There are only a few old workers left.
04:05We are getting old.
04:07We have been doing this for a year or two.
04:09It is manual work.
04:11This requires a lot of strength.
04:13So when we tie the chrysanthemum,
04:15our hands get numb.
04:17If the chrysanthemum is too big,
04:19we have to push it in
04:21and then slowly pull it out.
04:23That's how it is.
04:25If the chrysanthemum is too big,
04:27it won't be pretty
04:29when it's not in the pot.
04:31It won't be pretty.
04:33Although the number of chrysanthemums
04:35is not as high as before,
04:37there are still some people in Shuizha New Village
04:39who are silently protecting the chrysanthemum industry.
04:41The chrysanthemums produced here
04:43have almost met the demand of the whole horse market
04:45and have become another sign of Shuizha New Village.
04:48Shuizha has the most chrysanthemums.
04:51It used to be Songkai Buru.
04:53Songkai Buru is now due to land issues.
04:56There are fewer and fewer people.
04:58There are only three families left in Songkai Buru.
05:03So the chrysanthemums sold by Songkai Buru
05:05are still transported by Shuizha.
05:07Shuizha is rich in natural resources.
05:10What is the key?
05:12Climate, rainwater, and land
05:15are all suitable for planting chrysanthemums.
05:17We plant chrysanthemums because of the water source.
05:20The water source is suitable for planting chrysanthemums
05:23in Shuizha.
05:24If we plant chrysanthemums in other areas,
05:26it will be more difficult.
05:27Because the water comes from the horse.
05:31So the water will be colder and cleaner.
05:33As Shuizha New Village's speciality,
05:35the chrysanthemums are usually divided into four levels.
05:38The chrysanthemums that have been planted are large in size.
05:40People stand next to them and they look small.
05:43The planting period is four to five years.
05:45As for the smallest chrysanthemum,
05:46the largest chrysanthemum in the market,
05:48the No. 3 chrysanthemum,
05:49it takes 18 months.
05:51In order to be on the market on time before the New Year,
05:53the chrysanthemums must be planted on time
05:55from the beginning of the flowering season to the end of the flowering season.
05:57Only in this way can the chrysanthemums
05:58be sold in a slightly golden color.
06:00This ensures that the chrysanthemums
06:01show their best state
06:03in the New Year.
06:05After the sale of the chrysanthemums,
06:06the owners will take the lead
06:08to sell the chrysanthemums at their doorstep.
06:11A month before the New Year,
06:13we started to sell the chrysanthemums.
06:16It took less than two weeks
06:19to sell the chrysanthemums.
06:21In early December,
06:22we started to sell the chrysanthemums
06:23around the 20th of December.
06:25I sold the chrysanthemums earlier than them.
06:27Why?
06:28Because when the chrysanthemums were in season,
06:30in December,
06:31when winter came,
06:33in December,
06:34there were eight chrysanthemums at my doorstep.
06:38Eight chrysanthemums.
06:39I usually put the biggest chrysanthemum
06:43and the most beautiful chrysanthemum
06:45because my house is not big.
06:47If I put two big chrysanthemums,
06:48the space will be almost full.
06:51The chrysanthemums are placed one after another
06:53to carry the good wishes of good luck.
06:55In the heart of the owner,
06:57the chrysanthemums also contain
06:58the results of hard work.
07:00Blessing is like a gust of wind,
07:01gently blowing over the heart,
07:03and the result is like a mountain,
07:04steadily going through the years.
07:07This sincere blessing
07:08and the belief in a stable life
07:10are embedded in every chrysanthemum,
07:12starting from the heart of the chrysanthemum
07:14and spreading to every corner.
