The sky is clear and the sky is as clear as a washing! In the early morning, Songyuan Village ushered in another ordinary and beautiful day with the chirping sound of magpies. Walking into the home of Yang Yongchang, director of the Songyuan Village Supervision Committee, the orchids are arranged neatly, full of greenness and fragrant orchids, refreshing.
"This is Daxuesu, this is Yonghuaisu, this is Red-lace grass...." Yang Yongchang recalled while introducing: "Last year, he made nearly 200,000 yuan by selling orchids. To develop the courtyard economy, planting orchids is indeed the future revitalization path of Songyuan Village."

Songyuan Village is also known as "Daxuesu First Village", and is affiliated to Liuhe Yi Township, Heqing County, Dali. The village is facing Yanggong River to the east, and the warm and humid air flow of Jinsha River rises along the Yanggong River, which is humid and warm, forming unique climatic conditions, and is most suitable for cultivating various orchids. Orchids naturally grown through farmers' courtyards, especially the varieties of Daxuecu, have dwarf and solid seedlings, wide and thick leaves, and are easy to plant and flower. Therefore, they were awarded the title of "The First Village of Daxuecu".

Songyuan Village is located in a mountainous area, with barren land, low agricultural production efficiency, and a bottleneck in the development of conventional farming agriculture. "Since barren land cannot bring us fruitful fruits, we will find another way. Every household has a courtyard. Why not use it and plant orchids in the courtyard to develop industries." When poverty is poor, we think about change. During the poverty alleviation campaign, the village committee and the village work team said when studying and developing village industries.

For more than 0 Over the years, Songyuan Village has continuously explored and innovated the development mechanism of "party building + courtyard economy", forming a development model organized by the village party branch, village cadres, branch secretaries and party members take the lead in raising and planting, and villagers follow the example of planting. At present, more than 300 farmers in the village have been radiated and driven to plant orchids in the courtyard, etc. in the courtyard to develop the courtyard economy.
As every household grows orchids, now, the orchid industry has become one of the pillar industries for Songyuan Village to get rid of poverty and become rich. At the same time, in order to solve the current problems of small scale, multi-point dispersion and unstable sales in Songyuan Village, through the joint efforts of county and township leaders, village committees and working teams, funds have been obtained from multiple parties to build a village-level orchid trading platform and orchid planting demonstration base to explore the development and strengthening of the village orchid industry.

Develop courtyard economy and planting orchids can not only broaden channels for increasing income, but also improve the living environment. In the next step, Songyuan Village will combine the courtyard economy with the construction of beautiful villages, and by increasing guidance of farmers to plant orchids, create beautiful courtyards, and build a beautiful income-enhancing garden in a square foot of the courtyard. In the future, I believe that with the help of the Party, the government and the contracted units, with the joint efforts and hard work of Songyuan Village cadres, work teams and all villagers, Songyuan Village will surely embark on a unique road of rural revitalization.
