驚嘆地球之上竟有這般田疇。

It is amazing that there are such fields on the earth.

梯田始于秦漢，盛于宋明，規(guī)模逾12000公頃。

These terraces, covering over 12,000 hectares, started to be cultivated in the Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

時(shí)光穿越2000年，梯田仍舊……

Through 2000 years, the terraces are still……

紫鵲界依然保留原始耕作。

The traditional way to farm still remains on the Ziquejie Terraces

從開墾到耕種，遵循手工精耕細(xì)作。

From land clearing to farming, the way of manual intensive cultivation has been followed.

紫鵲界堪稱“原始稻種基因庫”

Ziquejie Terraces could be called “gene bank of the original seed rice”

稻作拒絕外來物種雜交。

Rice farming refuses hybridization with foreign species.

世代守護(hù)這份傳統(tǒng)，守護(hù)這份米香密碼。

Generations have safeguarded this tradition, preserving the essence of the rice fragrance.

梅山子民日出而作，日落而息，千年耕作，繁衍生息。

The people of Mount Mei work at sunrise and rest at sunset, cultivating for thousands of years, thriving and prospering.

歷代進(jìn)貢朝廷，紫鵲界“貢米”聲名遠(yuǎn)播，香漂四海，驚艷世界……

山有多高 田有多高 水就有多高。

As high as the mountains, so high are the fields, and the water flows from there.

天下大澇，此地?zé)o憂；天下大旱，此地有收。

In times of great floods, there are no worries here; in times of severe droughts, there is still harvest.

山無塘，田無壩。紫鵲界梯田依靠森林植被、基巖裂隙、土壤、田埂綜合形成儲(chǔ)水保水系統(tǒng)，天然自流灌溉系統(tǒng)堪稱人類農(nóng)業(yè)史上最偉大的水利工程。

There are no ponds in the mountains, and no dams in the fields. The terraces rely on forest vegetation, rock fissures, soil, and field embankments to form a comprehensive water storage and conservation system. The natural self-flow irrigation system could be taken as one of the greatest water conservancy projects in human agricultural history.
