Hidden in the thousand-year-old walnut forest in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, every thousand-year-old walnut tree here "blooms" like a huge mushroom cloud on the bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River valley, dotted all over, which is very spectacular. Every walnut produced here not only carries the thousand-year history of Jiacha County, but also contains the hard work of each farmer for a whole year.
According to archaeological speculation, the history of Jiacha County can be traced back to the stage of primitive society thousands of years ago. In the 7th century AD, the famous Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo successively merged various ministries in the territory and established a unified and powerful Tubo Dynasty. According to legend, the thousand-year-old walnut forest hidden in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is related to Lu Dongzan, a sage in Tubo at that time. Perhaps he ordered the local people to plant these walnut trees that lasted for thousands of years.
The wheel of history rolls by, taking away countless emperors and generals, but leaving behind these thousand-year-old walnut trees that have been baptized by the vicissitudes of life and are still standing. They not only witnessed the destiny of Tibet The ups and downs also carry the Jiacha people's respect for history and expectations for the future.
In the surrounding villages of Anrao Town, Jiacha County, almost every household has one or two thousand-year-old walnut trees in front of their doors. Each walnut tree is not only their continuation of their predecessors, but also their responsibility to their descendants. "This walnut tree has been handed down from generation to generation in my family, and the walnuts produced by one walnut tree are enough for our family's expenses for half a year," Rinzen Pema, a farmer in Gayu Village, said with the slow speed unique to Tibetan people.
"Jiacha walnut has thin and crisp skin, large size, rich and tender flesh, mellow, sweet and crisp, rich in nutrition, wide planting area and large yield. Jiacha walnut has high oil content and is rich in crude protein. Regular consumption can nourish the brain and keep fit." Yes, thousands of years have carved mottled shells on these walnuts, but at the same time they also gave birth to mellow and delicious pulp. Every walnut is the precipitation of the years, and every walnut is full of the spirit of the Jiacha people. sweat.
Just like Rinseng Pema's wrinkled, vicissitudes and kind face, each thousand-year-old walnut carries her responsibility to the family and unlimited expectations for the future. The implementation of the Jiacha County E-Commerce into the Rural Comprehensive Demonstration Project was like the winter sun, shining warmly on her body, which made her feel the ardent care of the Jiacha County Government for her.
