Imagine mountains wrapped in silver water, shining in the spring sun. Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.

Starting in the Yuan Dynasty, work on the terraces took hundreds of years, until its completion in the early Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can see,these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the very top. 壮族和瑶族人be home to...是...的家园 非谓语动词starting作状语，与主语work之间为主动关系 从山顶到山脚While-readingSceneryHistoryMain idea of Para 2: The long history of the Longji Rice Terraces.3. So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces? Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly, although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away. go to trouble 麻烦，费力 turn...into...把...变成... plenty of +可数/不可数名词，大量的... prevent...from...阻止/预防...wash away 冲走While-readingSceneryHistoryReasonMain idea of Para 3: The reason why Longji Rice Terraces were built.4 .But perhaps what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour. This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops. what引导的主语从句：意义最重大的是...。what=the thing(s) that...的事物 与自然和谐一致 privide sth for sb为某人提供某物 以...为食While-readingSceneryHistoryReasonPrinciplePara2-4:Building of TerracesHow local people adapt to, take advantage of, and live in harmony with nature.Main idea of Para 4: The significance of the Longji Rice Terraces.5 Although modern technology could help produce more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value. This knowledge is passed down through families, which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.mean a lot to sb 对某人很重要hold value for sb 对...很有价值 传递，传承 欣赏这一奇迹While-readingWhile-readingSceneryHistoryReasonPrincipleValueLocal people value traditionsThe value of Terraces: “At one with nature”Main idea of Para 5: The present situation of the Longji Rice Terraces.Choose the author's purpose in writing the passage.To praise the wisdom of the ethnic groups living in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
