As the weather in Chengdu warms up, many citizens have stepped out of their homes to hike and climb mountains on the outskirts of the city to enjoy the beauty of nature and pick some wild vegetables from time to time.

The reporter noticed that on social media, various "jungler" strategies emerged in an endless stream, sharing the fun of exploring wild interests. However, this behavior also caused dissatisfaction among the local villagers, as some tourists indiscriminately picked the villagers' crops by mistake, causing unnecessary losses to the villagers.

Rejection of the brutal "jungler"

　　村民種植百元一斤藥材被毀

　　“竹筍剛冒尖就被挖走，連樹苗也被砍斷，實在讓人氣憤！”4月11日晚，彭州市白鹿鎮村民王女士向記者反映，她在當地後山承包的藥材種植地近期頻繁遭破壞。

　　隨著春季氣溫回升，本應是作物生長的黃金期，但以王女士為代表的種植戶們卻面臨新的困擾。據王女士介紹，她10日上山例行巡查時，發現有人正在其承包地內用鐵鍬挖掘折耳根。"為保護藥材，我們專門加裝了防護圍欄，但仍有人翻越圍欄進入。"王女士指著剛萌發綠色嫩芽的黃連田表示，這些每斤價值數百元的藥材，常因遊客誤踩導致成片損毀，“一腳下去就有十多株幼苗遭殃”。

Netizens "jungle" digging the root of the folded ear

　　記者調查發現，類似情況在當地並非個例。多位種植戶反映，除黃連外，重樓、白芨等經濟價值較高的藥材也屢遭破壞。有農戶初步估算，單是今年春季，部分地塊的經濟損失已超千元。

Some citizens "do not distinguish between home and field"

Villagers set up signs to warn "stealing bamboo rafts will be fined 50 yuan/root"

Since 2023, the "Jungler" event has gone viral on social media, and spring and autumn are the best times to "Jungle". Many netizens posted pictures to share the harvest of "jungler". Wild onions, bracken, snow sprouts, spiny dragon buds, etc. have become the bag of "jungler" lovers.

There are also netizens who directly issued the positioning of digging wild vegetables, and someone wrote: In Huaguang Temple, Pengzhou City, there is a large forest on the top of the mountain, and there are many snow sprouts at present, and you can come to dig bamboo shoots at the end of the month. However, with the popularity of "jungle", some tourists who "do not distinguish between home and wild" have attracted the dissatisfaction of the villagers because they mistakenly dug up the crops planted by the villagers.

Last year, Chongzhou, Dayi and other places frequently secretly dug up farmers' self-planted folded ear roots, bamboo shoots and other incidents, villagers set up signs to warn "stealing bamboo shoots will be fined 3 yuan per root", and even set up tents to guard the land. Ms. Zhang, the owner of a farmhouse in Dayi, said: "There are so many people who come to dig wild vegetables that it is useless for villagers to erect warning signs and guardrails. Ms. Zhang said that if a tourist wants to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest she contracted, she will agree with the tourist to sell them at 0 yuan a catty, "so that everyone is happy." ”

Be a well-educated "Savager"

Reminder: Wash and cook wild vegetables before eating

Mr. Li, a "jungler" enthusiast, told reporters that he would take his children to go on a trip on weekends and bring some small shovels to dig wild vegetables, which can not only teach children to know all kinds of plants, but also get close to nature. Mr. Li said: "Some of the villagers were very enthusiastic and would show me where to dig up wild vegetables, but of course we were also very careful to be a quality 'wild man' and not to destroy the vegetables grown by the villagers." ”

"But try not to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest." Mr. Yang, an outdoor sports enthusiast, shared that he often reminds tourists who go to the mountains to "go wild" and try not to dig bamboo shoots. "Because bamboo forests generally have owners, digging bamboo shoots without authorization may affect the economic income of the villagers." At the same time, Mr. Yang also reminded that the wild vegetables brought home should be washed before eating to avoid food poisoning.

The reporter learned that it is the spring planting time, and the farmers in the mountains may carry out fertilization and insect control work. Here, I would like to remind the citizens not to pick and destroy the crops of the villagers, and to take away the garbage generated outdoors and take care of the environment. Do not pick or eat unfamiliar wild vegetables, and take them home to wash and cook them after picking. If there is a poisoning reaction from eating wild vegetables, you should stop eating and induce vomiting, and at the same time carry the remaining wild vegetables, wild mushrooms and vomit, and seek medical attention in time.

In addition, legal experts reminded that according to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, intentional damage to crops is subject to liability for compensation, and it is recommended that tourists pay attention to distinguishing the difference between crops and wild plants when they are close to nature, so as to avoid disputes caused by mispicking and digging.

Official Reminder:

"Jungle" is risky, and it should be civilized and safe to travel

　　記者注意到，4月11日與4月12日彭州發佈針對市民遊客“打野”行為作出勸導，提醒其不違規採摘、採挖農民種植的植物、藥材、瓜果蔬菜等物要自覺服從當地巡邏隊、網格員、村幹部的勸導，不踩踏、毀壞莊稼珍惜群眾辛勤勞動成果；堅持文明無痕出遊不亂扔包裝袋、礦泉水瓶、果皮等廢棄物自行打包帶走或是丟進公共垃圾桶維護良好的旅遊秩序堅持文明平安出遊。

Secondly, the Pengzhou release also mentioned that the wild environment is complex and changeable, full of unknown dangers. In the process of "jungle", we may face the risk of falling, spraining, snake bites, getting lost, etc. Therefore, before departure, citizens and tourists should make adequate preparations, understand the weather, terrain, vegetation and other information of the destination, and carry the necessary equipment and first-aid medicines.

At the same time, follow the principle of safety, do not enter unknown areas without permission, especially wild waters, cliff edges, undeveloped caves, etc., do not climb dangerous terrain, and maintain contact with teammates. In the event of an emergency, it is important to seek help in time to avoid the situation worsening due to blind action.
