Liangzhu jade culture is being showcased by rice paddies in the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.

Original green rice paddies are being transformed into the shape of a human-shaped deity riding on an animal, which is recognized as the symbol of Liangzhu Culture.

The paddies are also being reshaped into a flying bird, resembling the bird-shaped jade piece excavated from the archaeological ruins of Liangzhu.

Two months ago, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City and Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences planted 10 mu (0.67 hectares) of colorful rice with Liangzhu Culture designs.
