Dong'e Yushan Rice. Yushan is an extension of the Tai Mountain range extending westward, and is a well-known national AAA-level scenic tourist area within the jurisdiction of Liaocheng City. It is located right next to the Yellow River, with vast fertile plains at its foot, abundant water resources, broad and fertile land, and an excellent ecological environment. There are no polluting industries within a twenty-kilometer radius, making it an ideal place for producing high-quality, pollution-free rice and developing eco-agricultural sightseeing parks. Yushan is not only famous for the tomb of Cao Zhi, but also for its high-quality groundwater, which is classified as premium natural mineral water. The renowned mineral water product “Yushan Spring” is produced at the foot of Yushan. The groundwater is rich in various trace elements beneficial to the human body, and the rice irrigated with this water boasts excellent taste, strong aroma, and high nutritional value. Yushan rice has a long history—since the Han Dynasty, the rice from this area has been widely renowned. Rice grains and containers for storing rice have been excavated from Han tombs and Cao Zhi’s tomb around Yushan. The fragrance of Yushan rice is matched by even more beautiful legends. Among them are the tales of the “Eight Dou Tribute Rice” of Dong'e King Cao Zhi, and the “Fish Maiden Rice” that helped save people during a great famine, thanks to the Fish Maiden. In the 1960s, local and county propaganda departments produced a slide show titled “The Fragrance of Rice at the Foot of Yushan,” based on the bumper harvest of high-quality rice grown in Yushan, and named the indigenous aromatic rice variety “Yushan Aromatic Rice,” promoting it across counties and communes in the Liaocheng region. After the reform and opening up, the rice produced in villages such as Nanqiao and Yuzhong in the Yushan area became widely known, but due to the labor-intensive nature of rice cultivation, the planting area remained small. From 2000 to 2006, experts from Liaocheng University purified and revitalized the local aromatic rice resources, naming it “Yuxiang No. 1” and promoting it. By 2013, the cumulative planting area reached over 800 acres, with just the Fangqi Rice Cooperative base alone cultivating 500 acres.
