Ritual of Spring Plowing Festival

Farming culture has enabled Peitian Village to stand the test of time for 8oo years, while the wisdom of Peitian ancestors is embodied in their firm belief in farming culture. As the wave of modernization and urbanization engulfs the world, Peitian’s farming culture faces unprecedented challenges. Schooling has now become the shortcut to successwhich means getting away from the village, while farming is regarded as hard and unrewarding work which everyone tries to avoid. The festival is hence intended to maintain farming culture and, by inviting townspeople to take part in it, increase villagers incomes and promote mutual rural-urban understanding.

The significance of the community college lies not only in its great contribution to the protection and development of Peitian Village, but also in its exemplary role in efforts to do so.
