Man Grows Rice In Shape of China To Celebrate National Day
Just ahead of China’s National Day holiday, a 70-year-old man has grown a giant map of the country using different varieties of rice in Fengjing Town, located in the Jinshan District of Shanghai. The holiday begins on October 1.
The rice-based image is the product of Chen Jinxiang, a retired technician at a local agricultural technology station. Chen became an Internet sensation last year with a similar depiction of China. Expanding on his last effort, Chen’s latest creation features outlines of individual provinces and regions.
Also for this year, Chen has created images of a white cow, a traditional copper coin and a map of Fengjing Town alongside his map of China.
Chen has studied rice for more than 30 years, and locals say he is known for his enthusiasm for the staple crop.
To aid in the design of his rice images, Chen built a four-meter high observation platform to inspect patterns as they took shape.
He has also made many smaller-scale works using individually arranged grains of colorful rice. He has a gallery set up inside his home to display these pictures.
