The breath of spring has been here for a long time, besides the pink of peach blossoms and the green of willows, the most attractive thing on the Yiquin land is the silvery-white terraces in the distance.
In April, Yiquin is a good time for farmers to sow, and after a spring rain, all the corn film on Cryquan Liang is full of newly sown land film corn, which looks very spectacular from a distance. Under the reflection of the sun, the terraces paved with land film one after another are like a series of clear streams, nourishing the earth and bringing vitality to the Wei North Mountain City of Yiquin.
Entering Yiquin dry terrace core scenic area, the spring breeze is refreshing, and beside you are villagers busy farming, modern machinery shuttles back and forth in the fields, and villagers skillfully put corn seeds and fertilizers into sowing machines. When the corn sowing machine slowly passes over the land, a white plastic film completely seals the area it has passed through, and the rows of land film shining in the sun present a scene of spring returning to the earth and farming busy.

The characteristic of land film corn is water conservation, which can help increase yield. In recent years, we have been planting land film corn with subsidies, and we are very confident in planting land film corn. Now we hope that more and more people can come to our village to enjoy the scenery and tourism, so that our hometown can develop better and better. Cryquan Village villager Zhengdelin said happily.
It is learned that the maximum yield of land film corn in Yiquin has reached 2100 jin, twice breaking the provincial record for drought-land spring corn hundred acres and thousand acres single-crop production, creating a high-yield miracle in Northwest mountain areas, and becoming a national high-yield corn demonstration county, "Shaanxi land film corn first county," and was awarded the title of "Yiquin dry terrace agricultural ecological museum" by the Provincial Cultural Heritage Bureau.

One piece of soil nourishes one piece of people. From the 80s to today, Yiquin's dry terraces have evolved from infancy to large-scale cultivation, reflecting Yiquin people's self-reliance, self-improvement and tireless efforts, and decades of hard work have created this stunning terrace landscape.
Yiquin County's dry terraces are a mark of agricultural culture, a crystallization of ethnic wisdom, reflecting Yiquin people's pursuit of a happy and beautiful life, interpreting Yiquin people's tenacious spirit of 'mou gong' in the contemporary era. It is the inheritance and continuation of the spirit of Yan'an, a masterpiece of humanity overcoming nature in arid areas, and a representative of the combination of traditional farming and modern agriculture. It is also a precious and immovable living cultural relic treasure repository. In the future, Yiquin people will always uphold the spirit of 'self-reliance, self-improvement, self-reliance, and science' of the terraces, consolidate the two foundations of 'solid-state protection and live-state inheritance', and pay attention to integration with 'poverty alleviation and destitution, environmental improvement, and agricultural industrialization', and strive to create a well-known ecological leisure tourism destination in Northwest, and strive to achieve the goal of 'strong agriculture, beautiful countryside, and wealthy farmers.'
