722 PH - Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras (1995)

Brief Description

"For 2,000 years, the high rice fields of the Ifugao have followed the contours of the mountains. The fruit of knowledge handed down from one generation to the next, and the expression of sacred traditions and a delicate social balance, they have helped to create a landscape of great beauty that expresses the harmony between humankind and the environment."

菲律宾科迪勒拉山的水稻梯田
"两千年以来,伊富高山上的稻田一直是依山坡地形种植的。种植知识代代相传,神圣的传统文化与社会使这里形成了一道美丽的风景,体现了人类与环境之间的征服和融合。"
