“The crimson root matches the marvel of the fiery elements, solely obeying the heart's command.” As one of the key regions for producing Salvia miltiorrhiza, in Kushan Township, Ju County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, many villagers have been growing this herb for decades.
They rise with the sun and rest when it sets. The villagers here still maintain a simple and rustic lifestyle. They act according to the seasons, follow the natural order, and pour their sweat into the earth, nurturing hope.
Cultivating in spring, tending in summer, harvesting in autumn, and storing in winter. This is ancient Chinese wisdom, as well as the way of agricultural civilization that thrives by following nature. The ritual norms and cultural concepts that have emerged from this continue to profoundly influence the thoughts and beliefs of the Chinese nation.
Modern people utilize this legacy to showcase the dazzling radiance and unique charm of Chinese civilization to the world. At the same time, they transform this belief into strength, enabling China to stand tall and witness the resurgence of its glory.
