京西稻是清康熙、雍正、乾隆等亲自选育的优良品种,在与紫禁城并重的“三山五园”政治中心内外种植,具有多重价值属性,属于皇家御稻。从2000年起,基于北京水资源匮乏等原因,京西稻种植面积大幅度降至134 hm²左右,处于濒危状态。在保护传承过程中,京西稻入选中国重要农业文化遗产目录。在新修订的《北京历史文化名城保护条例》中,又将京西稻列入遗产保护目录。在海淀区,京西稻已经深入公园、学校、社区、酒店等地,在教育文化中发挥着农业以外的作用。

Jingxi Rice is an excellent variety bred by Emperor Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. It is planted inside and outside the “Three Hills and Five Gardens”（Royal gardens in Qing Dynasty）, a political center that is equal to the Forbidden City. It has multiple value attributes. Jingxi Rice was called “Royal Rice” at that time. Since 2000, due to the lack of water resources in Beijing and other reasons, the planting area of Jingxi Rice has dropped to about 134 hm², which is endangered. In the process of protection and inheritance, Jingxi Rice was gained distinction of the honor of China’s important agricultural cultural heritage. In the newly revised “Regulations on the Protection of Famous Historical and Cultural Cities in Beijing”, Jingxi Rice was listed in the heritage protection catalogue, and as a logo of educational culture,is gradually infiltrating into the parks, schools, hotels and community in Haidian District.
