CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can we visit Li Yi Golden Turtle Ecological Park?

1. Can we visit Li Yi Golden Turtle Ecological Park?

Unless you agree with him, you will not be allowed to visit. There are white silver and golden turtles inside.

There are no species of golden coin turtles, only differences in their habitats. In my country, they are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macao and other places. Abroad, they are mainly distributed in subtropical countries and regions such as Vietnam.

Golden coin turtle, scientific name is three-lined box turtle, also known as red-sided turtle, golden-headed turtle, red-bellied turtle, is a traditional Chinese medicine, belonging to Reptilia, Testudinata, Testudinidae in animal taxonomy. Golden coin turtle likes to choose shaded places to live, and has the habit of living in groups; it is omnivorous, and in nature it mainly preys on aquatic animals such as snails, fish, shrimps, tadpoles, etc., and also eats young mice, young frogs, beetles, snails and maggots, and sometimes also eats pumpkins, bananas and tender stems and leaves of plants.

The golden coin turtle is one of the most valuable turtle species in China. The price of a seedling is generally several thousand yuan, and the price of an adult golden coin turtle is tens of thousands of yuan. The price of a male turtle with good appearance can reach tens to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

You don't need to make an appointment in advance, you can just register and visit.

2. What are the effects of Li Yi’s Golden Coin Turtle Ginseng Flavored Drink?

This golden coin turtle ginseng flavored drink tastes pretty good, but it's a little too thin.

3. What kind of turtle is valuable?

People in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asia have the habit of eating golden coin turtles for health, but now a commercial golden coin turtle sells for tens of thousands of yuan, or even more than 100,000 yuan, which is more expensive than gold. So some people raise golden coin turtles as an investment, and some people start to produce deep-processed products of golden coin turtles to meet the needs of more people. The reporter recently interviewed in Boluo, Huizhou, Guangdong, and learned that Li Yi's Golden Coin Turtle Farm in Boluo County, Guangdong is currently the largest golden coin turtle farm in the world. The farm has cooperated with Sun Yat-sen University and has produced my country's first batch of golden coin turtle essence oral liquid.

The reason why the golden coin turtle has risen to a sky-high price is very complicated

It is understood that since the start of artificial breeding in the 1980s, the price of turtles has risen sharply year by year, with the price of a turtle seedling rising from a few dozen yuan to a record high price of 13,500 yuan per 15-20 gram turtle seedling in 2004. A commercial turtle weighing 900-1100 grams after two to three years of breeding is sold for about 20,000-22,000 yuan each.

Why is the price of golden coin turtle so high? Zhang Junxiu, president of Guangdong Food Industry Association and executive vice president of Guangdong Pharmaceutical Industry Association, said that the sharp rise in the price of golden coin turtle is due to the fact that people have spread the belief that golden coin turtle has health effects, especially anti-cancer effects, which has led to people from Hong Kong and Macao or wealthy people in the mainland to buy golden coin turtles everywhere, pushing up the price of turtles. On the other hand, golden coin turtles or deep-processed products of golden coin turtles are high-end consumer goods. The continuous price increase of golden coin turtles shows that there is a huge market space for high-end nutritional foods and health products in Guangdong. Therefore, how to better develop a series of golden coin turtle products to meet the needs of consumers is worth studying by enterprises.

Ms. Zhou Ting, a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's turtle expert group and secretary-general of the Nanjing Turtle Research Association, believes that the real reason for the price increase of golden coin turtles is that the supply of golden coin turtles is insufficient to meet the demand. Since 2003, Zhou Ting has been undertaking the "China Turtle Market Survey" project of the State Forestry Administration's Conservation Department, investigating turtle farms across the country, and investigating golden coin turtle farms is one of the important contents. The survey results show that by 2005, according to conservative estimates, the number of artificially domesticated tortoises in my country was about 8,000 to 10,000, with an annual breeding of 5,000 to 8,000 turtle seedlings, and the second generation has been successfully bred. However, the biggest bottleneck of artificial breeding of golden coin turtles is the low hatching rate and survival rate of the turtles. The low reproduction rate and slow growth rate of golden coin turtles have led to a shortage of commercial golden coin turtles on the market.

Professor Xu Donghui, director of the Chinese Medicine and Marine Drug Laboratory of the School of Life Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University, said that the main purpose of people eating golden coin turtles or consuming golden coin turtle products is to enhance immunity, while some people are attracted by the auxiliary rehabilitation effect of golden coin turtles in treating tumors. Now in Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao, and Southeast Asia, eating golden coin turtles to enhance immunity and fight tumors has almost become a trend. From a scientific point of view, this trend is not blind. Scientific research shows that golden coin turtles do have extraordinary health benefits.

Wu Zhesheng, director of Guangdong Yusheng Hospital, said that the golden coin turtle is too expensive and not many people can afford it. How can more people enjoy the nutritional value and health benefits of the golden coin turtle? The best way is to produce turtle essence or other series of products. The golden coin turtle and its products are currently selling well in Southeast Asia. It is conservatively estimated that there is a market space of 5 billion yuan in mainland China, which is worth exploring.

5. Huizhou on the Trees, Imagine Being a God on Luofu Mountain

Ye Kai

The best way to go to Huizhou is probably to recite Su Dongpo's famous poem "Eating Lychees": "It's spring all year round at the foot of Luofu Mountain, and the oranges and bayberries are fresh one after another. I can eat 300 lychees a day and I'm willing to stay in Lingnan forever."

Then I climbed up the lychee tree and saw lychees everywhere, red, green, yellow, and all kinds of colors, just like a painting painted by children. I picked them and stuffed them into my mouth.

How should I recite this poem with a litchi in my mouth?

Once I climb up the litchi tree, I'm afraid it will be too late to recite poetry.

I guess Su Dongpo wrote the poem after eating his fill of lychees. Therefore, this poem was written very naturally and happily, expressing the great satisfaction after eating and drinking his fill.

Huizhou is not the largest lychee producing area, but the famous work "Eating Lychees" by Su Dongpo is here. Luofu Mountain and lychees are two famous brands that cannot be removed. This is also a concrete manifestation of the importance of culture. No matter how much money you spend on advertising, you can't achieve this effect.

Can a person eat 300 lychees a day? I doubt it. As a foodie and a big eater as I am, I have great respect for “300 lychees”. 300 lychees weigh about 9 kilograms, so it is possible to eat 9 kilograms of lychees a day. The key is, can anyone eat lychees continuously from morning to night?

Last July, my family was invited by Huizhou Huicheng District to eat lychees. I privately made an appointment with my senior brother Liang Liuwen, and under the leadership of his wife and him, we went deep into the "Dongpo Lychee Village" in Luofu Mountain to eat the freshest lychees.

I have always had a passion for climbing trees, and I have written quite a few articles about climbing trees in recent years. I just wrote an article called "Leaves Blooming on Trees", about climbing a cherry tree in Germany. When I returned to my hometown in Guangdong and came to Huizhou, a famous city in Lingnan, I wanted to climb a lychee tree.

Whether it is a cherry tree or a lychee tree, they are all swaying and easy to climb. When choosing a fruit tree, you should pick the soft persimmons to squeeze and the ripe lychees to eat. When people reach middle age, their bodies become fat and their hands and feet become stiff. Only then can the little monkey hidden deep inside their bodies become agile and leap on the broad branches of tall trees. Only with a monkey-like skinny body can one climb to the outermost branches and float in the wind like a squirrel.

Nowadays, lychees are widely planted, mostly new varieties, and there are very few tall arbor lychee trees. When I was a child, I climbed arbor lychee trees, which were almost semi-wild lychee trees. They were tall and mighty, swaying in the wind, and full of fruits, green and green. They looked really great. But they were mighty, but not delicious. This kind of lychee has thick skin, thin flesh, large kernels, sour taste, and is difficult to swallow. Lychee kernels are huge, as big as a thumb, oblong, round and smooth. After washing, they can be made into toys and played with them happily. A real country monkey child cannot say that he is a qualified primary school student if he does not carry 20 or 30 lychee kernels on his back. For deep processing of lychee kernels, you can also use a bamboo stick to dig out the flesh little by little along the spores of the lychee, leaving only a layer of dark brown kernel skin. The flesh inside the lychee kernel is bitter and astringent, not delicious at all - but in the famine era, lychee kernels also became food - what use is there to dig out a thin layer of kernel skin? Actually, it is useless. It is just that the country kids are bored and have fun playing with lychee pits. Children with musical talent can put their lips close to the pits and blow a whistle. In the abyss of the hot and lonely afternoon, it is necessary to make a little noise, which is also a pleasure. Not to mention lychee pits, even mango pits can be made into toys. Dexterous children drill holes in mango pits, put ropes on them, pull them at both ends, and they rotate like a windmill, making a whirring sound.

In Huizhou, I realized my dream of climbing a tree and proved in front of my daughter that I can really climb a tree.

The lychee trees we visited were not very tall, but they were quite old, and could be considered senior lychee trees. Moreover, they were probably the best lychees, with green leaves.

Although I am a native of Guangdong, I cannot name all the varieties of lychees. I can only instinctively distinguish which lychees are sweet and which are sour; which lychees have small cores and thick flesh and which have large cores and thin flesh. These are all natural knowledge, learned with my own mouth, and I don’t need anyone to teach me. Children are naturally sensitive to various shapes, colors, and sounds. We may not be able to name every lychee, but we can tell that it is a "delicious" lychee by looking at the color, and we can tell that it is a "bad" lychee by picking it up.

I have been with children for the past few years and have been their leader. I know that children spend too much time in school and have too much homework to do. They have no free time at all and have lost the fun of climbing trees, going to the river, playing in the mud, and chasing each other. In a big city like Shanghai, you can hardly find a few swings. It's not that there is no place, but that no one has thought of putting up swings.

One year, we took our five or six-year-old daughter to visit Macau. In such a small city, every green space and street was equipped with swings. In Germany, there are many children's playgrounds in those cities, which are free and open to the public, and are specially for children to play. There are pulleys, swings, seesaws, slides, and a piece of sand. The sand is very thick and deep. I have studied it and dug until I reached my shoulder depth, but I still haven't reached the bottom. Playing in the sand is one of the most favorite activities for children.

More than a decade ago, a Vanke real estate project was launched in Shanghai. It was located in a remote area, a dead end with high-voltage wires passing through it. The house and the community were not very impressive, but there was a fairly large children's playground outside the community, which was amazing. I took my children there many times. There was a sandy area and a slide, and the children could play construction workers or pirates together.

Children should play, and they should play endlessly, without any purpose, without any central idea, and without learning so much dead knowledge. Without time to play, without time to climb trees, children will become little adults.

I was on the tree in Huizhou, so I naturally didn't think so much. I was fascinated by this top-grade lychee variety that might be Guiwei.

I said to my senior brothers and their wives: Sorry, I have to climb a tree.

The daughter was a little worried: Dad, are you okay?

I patted my plump belly and said: No problem.

The fibers of the lychee tree are dense and not easy to break, so don't worry. Once the expert says this, everyone will understand.

After climbing up the tree, I had the most beautiful lychees on my head and I didn’t have time to explain anything to my daughter under the tree.

This is how fruit trees work: the lychees at the top that receive the most sunlight naturally taste the most delicious.

I would pick the tallest and tallest lychees and put them directly into my mouth after picking them.

Dongpo, who "ate 300 lychees a day", was probably about my age. I don't know how good his tree-climbing skills were, or whether he loved climbing trees. There is no literature to search, which is a pity. If I could travel back to the Song Dynasty and meet Mr. Dongpo in person, I would definitely challenge him: Let's climb trees, how about that!

There is no need to compete in reciting poems, composing lyrics, writing, painting, etc. I just admit defeat. As for climbing trees, I may be able to resist it. However, people in the past were much stronger than us. They basically walked on their legs. Long-distance journeys usually took several months or even a year or two, and they trudged through the vast jungle. When Su Dongpo was exiled to Lingnan, he took Wang Zhaoyun and San'er with him, from Hangzhou to Changzhou and then to Nanjing, upstream along the Yangtze River to the mouth of Poyang Lake, and then prepared to take a boat to southern Jiangxi and cross the Yunxiao Trail of Dayuling. But just after arriving in Jiangxi, his political enemies sent another order, not allowing Su Dongpo and his family to take a boat or ride a horse, and punishing them to walk on foot. In this way, they walked and stopped, crossed mountains and ridges, and it took them nearly a year to reach Huizhou.

I once wrote a short article saying that Su Dongpo was the first to post on Weibo. "Dongpo Zhilin" contains all kinds of things, such as alchemy, dreaming, time travel, eating snot, short, interesting and even weird. For example, "Night Tour of Chengtian Temple" was selected into the Chinese textbook. These short articles were written on small pieces of paper as soon as he had an inspiration and thrown into a basket carried by his followers. A little bit of accumulation made a book. The version of "Writing on the Wall of West Forest" written on Mount Lushan used in the Chinese textbook is "Looking from the side, the mountain becomes a peak; looking from the side, the mountain looks different from different places." Su Dongpo himself wrote in "Notes on Traveling to Mount Lushan" in "Dongpo Zhilin": "Looking from the side, the mountain becomes a peak; looking from the side, the mountain looks different from different places."

There are many versions of the last line of "Eating Lychees": "It's okay to be a Lingnan person forever" or "I don't mind being a Lingnan person forever". But the key point is that after eating "three hundred lychees", Su Dongpo fell in love with Luofu Mountain and this leisurely life, which was revealed clearly.

I climbed the tree, but it seemed inappropriate to think about Su Dongpo on the tree. So I just concentrated on eating lychees.

Although I ate as much as I wanted, I was still so full that I couldn't eat much. I probably ate about 70 or 80 at most before I was too full to swallow. I struggled to stuff two more into my mouth, but it was already the last gasp.

Whether Po Weng could really eat 300 lychees a day still needs further discussion in the academic community.

Brother Liu Wen and I, as well as other local experts, suggested:

Since we don't know whether Su Dongpo's poem is a figment or a metaphor, we might as well plan a "300 lychees a day" challenge. We will recruit big eaters from all over the country and even the world to challenge "300 lychees". The one who finishes first will be the champion. As for the spectators, they can also participate in the event by paying a certain fee. Everyone finds this suggestion interesting.

Looking at Huizhou from a tree doesn’t give you a clear view.

The last time I came to Huizhou, I was also at a high place, standing on the nine-story roof of the towering "Turtle Palace" in Yangqiao Town, overlooking Luofu Mountain and Nankun Mountain. Although it was not very clear, I felt that the sky was high and the clouds were light, the air was flowing, and the air was fresh and refreshing, as if breathing the essence of heaven and earth. "Turtle Palace" is my name. Brother Li Yi, the local golden turtle king, is a very hidden "golden turtle son-in-law". He used nearly 400 acres of land to build a nine-story building with an area as large as a 10,000-person stadium. Imagine the future, this "Turtle Palace" can accommodate tens of thousands of golden turtles, a turtle kingdom. In the highest palace, there are eight golden turtle elders.

I gave a speech in the unfinished "Turtle Palace" and reviewed the two mythical animals before and after the Jurassic period: dinosaurs and turtles. Dinosaurs are hot all over the world now, and they are all the rage among young people. But dinosaurs became extinct 60 million years ago. The turtles, the little friends of the dinosaurs at the same time, have experienced countless disasters and have survived tenaciously to the present day. Whether it is the collision of asteroids, the eruption of super volcanoes that created the Siberian Highlands, or the Ice Age or the prehistoric era, turtles remain unmoved and laugh at the world. Although turtle meat is soft, the turtle shell is very strong. Moreover, it can swim and land, and can be both civil and military. There is a reason why ancient Chinese philosophers liked the image of the divine turtle. In addition, many celebrities in the early Tang Dynasty liked to sneak the word "turtle" into one of their names, such as the singer and court musician "Li Guinian" and the great scholar "Lu Guimeng", which are all good names.

Among the various auspicious animals revered by the ancient Chinese, dragons and phoenixes do not exist, but turtles live among us.

Humans are weird like that and usually prefer things that don't exist.

Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari said in his best-selling book, A Brief History of Humankind, that the most important reason why our ancestors, Homo sapiens, defeated several other human species of the same period and other large beasts to become the top overlords was that Homo sapiens had the ability to "make up" - storytelling and gossip were also one of their main abilities. Other animals, such as gorillas, also have tribes and leaders, but these are small groups of a dozen or dozens of individuals. Once a group of hundreds or tens of thousands of people is involved, how can they work together to do things? This requires making up, for example, making up a great god, and the whole nation worshiping him and working together, the largest scale is to build a great building like the pyramids; making up the concept of a country and letting people fight for it. And so on.

Once people invent a concept, it is automatically generated and has unquestionable magic. Human society often uses the virtual to become real, and builds a large number of "temples" for things that do not exist. Once these temples have entities, they are like some real gods and begin to control humans.

That time, I was daydreaming on Luofu Mountain. It was not about the "four seasons of spring", but where to find trees to climb.

Luofu Mountain is densely forested and rich in vegetation, and is very well protected. In some places, the negative ion content reaches hundreds of thousands units, and the PM2.5 is around 7 or 8. The first time I entered Luofu Mountain, I stayed in the General Building and slept for only a few hours. Because there was too much oxygen, I was probably intoxicated by it, and I couldn't really fall asleep, but was full of thoughts.

There are all kinds of big trees in Luofu Mountain, none of which are suitable for a pretentious old man like me to climb. I only saw nimble squirrels leaping over the treetops, and then I realized that humans like me have been away from nature for too long.

I feel that Huizhou is like my childhood hometown that I have imagined for a long time. It is friendly, natural, and not unfamiliar at all. Huizhou has all the advantages of a city: magnificent mountains and rivers, vast sea and sky, and various benefits such as geothermal energy and springs, not to mention the rich products. There are mountains, rivers, sea, springs, and lakes. What else do you want?

My friends took me to visit Fenghu Academy in Huizhou West Lake. This ancient academy, which dates back to the Ming or Yuan Dynasty, has been renovated. They really want me to help introduce a large institution and make it a high-end place. I suggest setting up a "Southern Culture Research Institute" or something like that, introducing various high-end forums to improve the cultural value of Huizhou. Historically, Huizhou was a gathering place of humanities because of Ge Hong, Su Dongpo, Niu Sengru and others, but now it seems to be a bit declining. Apart from other things, institutions such as colleges and universities are in short supply.

Dongpo and West Lake are inseparable. When he was in Hangzhou, he dredged the West Lake and built the Su Causeway. When he went to Huizhou, he dredged the West Lake and built the Su Causeway. The West Lake, big or small, has its own charm.

Huizhou is located in the core area of ​​the Pearl River Delta, more than an hour’s drive from Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It can be said to have the advantage of being both bustling and quiet.

Huizhou is good not only because Su Dongpo's famous poem has been passed down for a long time, but also because he did a lot of civil engineering work here and wrote dozens of poems and articles. He stayed in Huizhou for three years and left too many valuable cultural resources to Huizhou.

We cannot say that Huizhou is at the peak of its cultural development today, and it still needs to continue to improve itself.

"Since Su Dongpo was exiled to the South China Sea, the world no longer dares to look down on Huizhou." More and more people are beginning to realize the powerful pulling and shaping effect of culture. There are countless places and geographical locations named after Su Dongpo in Huizhou. Even the location of the mountain spring he tasted has been verified to be a spring in a high-end luxury house.

There are springs everywhere, but the ones that Su Dongpo drank are no longer everywhere.
