HEBI, China, Feb. 27,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report by Huanqiu.com: Liyang Granary, the world cultural heritage
site in Xunxian County,
Central China's Henan, is a testament to the great wisdom of
the older generation. To this day, it continues to tell the story
of harvest and hope.
Xunxian County, anciently known as Liyang, saw the establishment
of Liyang Granary during the Sui Dynasty, where people utilized the
Grand Canal for grain transportation. As one of the key official
granaries during the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties, Liyang Granary
witnessed the history of Xunxian County as an important grain town
in ancient times.
According to local records, Liyang Granary had a total grain
storage capacity of over 30 million pounds, enough to feed 80,000
adults for a year. These figures offer a glimpse into why Junxian
was known as the "granary of the nation."
Standing in front of the ruins of Liyang Granary, people seem to
travel through time and space, returning to that prosperous era and
feeling the wisdom and diligence of the ancient laborers.
Today, new technologies for intelligent and green grain storage
are emerging continuously. From underground to above ground, and up
to the cloud, this land has been guarding us silently, just to make
our food secure.
According to interviews conducted by Global Times Online
reporters, Liyang Granary has become a national cultural heritage
site and a renowned cultural tourist destination through the
integration of cultural heritage protection and tourism
development. Visitors can experience the historical depth at the
ancient granary ruins or savor local cuisine and embrace the rich
Central Plains culture on the old streets of Liyang Ancient
Town.
The story of Liyang Granary is just one chapter in the long
scroll of Xunxian County's cultural history. From ancient
landscapes to profound culture, from traditional folk customs to
modern prosperity, this land holds many more treasures waiting to
be discovered.
