Project Overview

1. Description of Our Community

Zhutang Township of Changhua County is formed by the accumulation of Dongluoxi and Xiluoxi, which are divided by Zhuoshui Creek, and is located in the center of the Fan Plain of Zhuoshui Creek. The origin of the place name 'Bamboo Pond' was named after the ancestors of the area developed the early reeds and bamboo swamps and the depressions in the depression. Another said that the bamboo pond is rich in bamboo and densely populated with water ponds. Because of its reputation, it has the old name 'bamboo head'. The land in the village has been accumulating from the Zhuoshui Creek over the years. Due to the fertile soil, sufficient water sources and mild climate, the place also has a thriving agricultural landscape: muddy rice, vegetables, grapes, shaky, dragon fruit, peaches, Gao Jie, As long as you are willing to sweat and work hard, you will find everything here. It seems to be an agricultural treasure.

2. Summary of Our Project

About two-thirds of the land in Zhutang Township is agricultural land, and more than half of the households are farmers. The south of the township is surrounded by Zhuoshui Creek and all are flat. Zhuoshui Creek brings brown, black soil with high viscosity from the upstream. Combined with turbid water irrigation, it is very suitable for planting rice, producing good quality turbid water rice that won the national championship year after year. We are born and raised children in the bamboo pond. We hope that through the famous 'bamboo pond rice', we will not only let ourselves know the products that our hometown and family depend on, but also let us have more experience of eating rice from the 'mouth' but we have never seen People who grow rice in the 'mud' have the opportunity to re-experience this wonderful journey from 'mud to mouth'. Therefore, the introduction of our special research project starts with everyone who knows our hometown and our special rice (Taijian No. 9 rice) specialties, and then looks at the diverse presentation and marketing of rice products, and finally let everyone see us Continue to work for your hometown.
