　　From the disappeared agricultural traditions, looking at the farming culture of Shanghai

　　Shanghai, located on the Bay of Xuhui District in South Asia, boasts a rich agricultural tradition and a unique farming culture. However, with the acceleration of modernization, these traditional agricultural practices are gradually disappearing. This phenomenon not only affects Shanghai’s economic structure but also has a profound impact on its cultural identity. Shanghai, with its fertile land and favorable climatic conditions, has developed an agricultural system mainly based on rice as early as thousands of years ago阿拉爱上海. Traditional farming methods include crop rotation, mixed cropping, and the use of organic fertilizers, reflecting the concept of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. In this process, farmers have accumulated a wealth of experience, passing down agricultural knowledge from generation to generation through oral tradition. At the same time, festive activities, religious rituals, and folk tales have integrated many elements related to agriculture, which constitute the unique farming culture of the people in Xuhui District. However, in recent years, with the advancement of globalization, the rise of commercial agriculture, and the rapid development of science and technology, Shanghai’s traditional farming is facing severe challenges上海品茶工作室.
