Byeollyang-myeon, 'Embroidering Pictures on Rice Fields' Rice Art Rice Planting Experience Event Held

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Byeollyang-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee announced that on the 25th, they will hold a ‘Rice Paddy Art’ rice transplanting event at Bongnimtteul in Byeollyang-myeon, where they will plant colored rice again this year to create a giant natural painting.

‘Rice Paddy Art,’ conducted as a grassroots residents' autonomy project in 2020, is a form of natural art where four types of colored rice are transplanted in spring, and as the rice grows, a giant picture is drawn in the paddy fields.

This year’s ‘Rice Paddy Art’ image was decided after gathering residents’ opinions: on one side, the Suwon City symbolic characters ‘Rumi and Ddungi,’ and on the other side, a sketch depicting a ‘farmer plowing the field,’ representing the warm rural farming scene. The rice transplanting event will be held on the 25th.

Hyun Young-soo, chairman of the Byeollyang-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee, said, “The Rice Paddy Art project contributes to revitalizing local schools and forming village educational communities by linking with the regional innovation school belt. We will create unique attractions to encourage many people to visit Byeollyang-myeon.”

Woo Sung-won, head of Byeollyang-myeon, said, “Through this rice transplanting, we will promote Byeollyang-myeon’s eco-friendly agriculture and pursue ecological tourism by connecting it with the Suncheon Bay marine ecological resources that Byeollyang-myeon possesses.”
