New Meteorology of Countryside with Blossom Orchid Fragrance (Frontline Visit of Ten Million Projects) Tangdi Village | Countryside | Frontline Visit of Projects

"Tangdi meets flowers everywhere." Walking into Tangdi Village, Lizhu Town, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, the village roads are spacious and clean, and the houses are neatly arranged. A 3.6 kilometer long village road connects the ocean of flowers, creating a magnificent sight.

This beautiful countryside, which has won honors such as "National Beautiful and Livable Demonstration Village" and "National Ecological and Cultural Village", was a different scene 20 years ago. At that time, Tangdi Village was littered with miscellaneous items. In order to facilitate the cultivation of flowers, the villagers placed outdoor "farmyard manure" in front and behind their houses. The living environment was poor and the management was difficult.

In 2003, with the deepening of the "Ten Million Project" in Zhejiang Province, a village environmental remediation action was also carried out in Tangdi Village.

Liu Jianming, Secretary of the Party Branch of Tangdi Village, admitted, "At first, everyone had weak environmental awareness and only focused on their own convenience. It was not easy to change the lifestyle habits that had been developed for many years."

Play the "head goose effect" and form a demonstration and leadership. Liu Jianming took the lead in demolishing two manure pits in his own flower garden, and then worked door-to-door with village officials. After systematic rectification, more than 1800 "two piles and one pit" were cleared and demolished in the entire village, giving the village a completely new appearance.

Starting from solving the long-standing problem, Tangdi Village continues to expand its environmental remediation radius: repairing nearly 10000 square meters of dangerous walls, widening roads, rectifying pole lines, lighting up street lights, continuously improving the ecological environment of the village, and continuously improving the quality of life of the villagers.

"The village is beautiful, and our motivation is even stronger," said Tong Shuibiao, the person in charge of the Orchid Co prosperity Workshop in Tangdi Village, with a smile on his face.

Tangdi Village is famous for its flowers and is known as the "Thousand Year Orchid Township". With the improvement of the village environment, a digital orchid co prosperity workshop has emerged. The village is using digital means to focus on the big article of "orchids". From intelligent cultivation to live streaming sales, a small orchid has become a wealth making flower in the hands of villagers.

At 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning, Tong Shui Biao opened the "Greenhouse Butler" app as usual, and the temperature, humidity, and other data inside the Orchid Gongfu Workshop were clear at a glance. When the sunlight is strong, the sunshades on the first and second floors of the ceiling will automatically operate; When watering and ventilation are needed, the sprinkler, fan and other devices will automatically operate to ensure that the orchid grows in a comfortable environment.

When the orchid cultivation is mature, Tong Shuibiao will organize villagers and e-commerce teams to carry out planting, potting, and live sales in the workshop. "You see, this orchid is called Songmei, with a beautiful and vibrant green color. The petals are rich in layers, crystal clear and translucent, like emerald." E-commerce anchor Lu Yanyan set up a live broadcast room in the workshop and enthusiastically shouted.

With the clang of the next order, waves of orchid fragrance drifted towards thousands of households.

"We not only need to catch the digital fast train, but also promote industrial iteration and upgrading, and promote the integrated development of agriculture, culture, and tourism." Chen Junjie, Deputy Mayor of Lizhu Town, introduced that in 2017, Lizhu Town became one of the pilot projects for national pastoral complexes. To promote project implementation, Tangdi Village has transformed over 300 acres of scattered hilly and mountainous areas into contiguous farmland, utilizing agricultural landscapes and rural spaces to attract tourists and gather popularity, promoting agricultural efficiency, rural beauty, and farmers' income.

Today, Tangdi Village is dominated by the flower and wood industry, with a unique experience of orchid culture and creative research. It receives over 25000 training sessions and more than 140000 tourists annually, driving an increase of more than 10 million yuan in flower and wood sales and a per capita income of over 120000 yuan for villagers.

The pockets of the villagers are becoming more and more abundant, but truly transforming into a "demonstration village" or "civilized village" still depends on the infiltration of civilized rural customs. Today, Tangdi Village, named after "Tangdi" and with a focus on civilized rural culture, is shaping and forging its soul on the road of rural revitalization.

"Shisheng is always good, and everything prospers at home." At the doorstep of the villager Qian Dihong's house, the two lines of family motto stand out prominently. "This is a family tradition and family training activity initiated by the village." Xu Weifeng, the chairman of the village women's federation, introduced that Tangdi Village is solidly promoting the construction of family civilization with the main content of inheriting good family traditions, cultivating good family traditions, and building good families, and using cultural revitalization to help rural revitalization.

Moving forward, a quaint building leaps into view. This is the Tangdi Rural Revitalization Training Institute, and a group of students are participating in research activities. "This was originally an abandoned factory building, but later became our common 'spiritual home'," said Li Hongmin, the person in charge of the workshop.

Tangdi Village has passed down the value pursuit of "diligent people and early spring" from generation to generation through the construction of cultural halls and other means. "This strengthens the spiritual connection between Tang Di and his hometown," said Luo Yao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Lizhu Town.

For the past 20 years, Tangdi Village has deeply implemented the "Ten Million Project", bringing a new atmosphere to the countryside with the fragrance of orchids. Standing at a new starting point, Tangdi Village is taking one step at a time, firmly walking on the path towards common prosperity.
