Anjiyu Village, Zhejiang, with beautiful scenery, is famous far and wide. Seeing the green mountains in front of them, the babbling water, it is difficult for tourists to "punch in" that it was difficult for tourists to "punch in" that there was once a long-term bald water smell and dirty air because of "relying on the mountains to eat mountains" and mining and quarrying.
16 years ago, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, proposed here that "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains." At that time, Yucun stopped the mine, closed the cement factory, and began to explore new ways of development.
Today, Yucun has a good scenery and eats tourist meals. The concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" spread from the village conference room has become an important part of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and has blossomed throughout the country.
On the evening of August 20, 2019, Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Gansu, came to a session of Zhongnongfa Shan Dan Racecourse Co., Ltd. to inspect the operation and development of the horse farm and understand the ecological restoration work of Qilian Mountain.

History has repeatedly proved that without "green water and green mountains", no matter how many "golden mountains and silver mountains" will be in vain.
Engels warned all mankind: "Let us not be too intoxicated by our human triumph over the natural world. For every such victory, nature retaliates against us. "Worldwide, most developed countries have experienced a path of "pollution first and treatment later". In the middle of the 18th century, Britain, which led the industrial revolution, had serious environmental problems; in the 19th century, cities such as Los Angeles in the United States were plagued by air pollution...
Since the founding of New China, we have completed the industrialization process of developed countries for hundreds of years in just a few decades, and made great achievements, but the ecological and environmental problems have once become the pain of the people's hearts and the people's livelihood.
In a large developing country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, can man and nature be integrated? How can economic growth and environmental protection go hand in hand?
"When ecology prospers, civilization prospers, and when ecology declines, civilization declines." "The construction of ecological civilization is a millennium plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and we must plan economic and social development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between man and nature." Xi Jinping's words are lofty and long-term. He regarded "landscape, forest, field, lake, grass and sand ice" as a community of life, and emphasized "all-round, all-regional, and whole-process ecological civilization construction".
Xi Jinping has this "ecological account" in mind. "We owe too much in terms of the ecological environment, and if we don't get this work done from now on, the price will be even greater in the future," he said. We have no other choice on this issue. ”
Xi Jinping also has a "political account" in mind. "If there is still extensive development, even if the goal of doubling gross domestic product is achieved, what will be the situation of pollution?"he said? At that time, the resources and environment may not be able to bear it at all. "The economy has gone up, the happiness of the people has been greatly reduced, and even strong dissatisfaction has come up, what is the situation?" Therefore, we cannot regard strengthening the construction of ecological civilization, strengthening ecological environmental protection, and advocating a green and low-carbon lifestyle as only economic issues. There's a lot of politics in there. ”

Qinling is an important ecological security barrier in China. But in previous years, illegal villas have taken root here, and some people have tried to turn "national parks" into "private gardens".
Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the ecological protection of the Qinling Mountains, and has made important instructions and instructions 6 times, and the central government has specially sent a special rectification working group to Shaanxi. After rectification, 1194 illegal villas were thoroughly rectified, 4557 mu of land was nationalized, more than 1,000 people were questioned, and a number of provincial and ministerial officials, including Zhao Zhengyong, then secretary of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, were dismissed. Today, the illegal villa has disappeared, and Qinling has returned to its beauty and tranquility.
Not only qinling, but also for typical incidents such as the cutting of mountains and cities in Yan'an in Shaanxi, the illegal construction of the Qiandao Lake adjacent area in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the illegal "slimming" of the Kashan Nature Reserve in Xinjiang, the pollution of the Tengger Desert, the destructive mining of the Qilian Mountain Nature Reserve and the Muli Mining Area in Qinghai, and the destruction of the ecological environment in the Qilian Mountain Ecological Reserve in Gansu Province, Xi Jinping has repeatedly issued instructions and kept an eye on them. He said: "We must not do anything about breaking through the three red lines, still using the extensive growth model, and eating the rice of our ancestors and smashing the bowls of our descendants, and we are absolutely not allowed to do it again." ”
During this period, many leading cadres were dismissed or punished for poor environmental protection, including many senior officials at the provincial and ministerial levels. "For those leading cadres who damage the ecological environment, only by truly pursuing responsibility, daring to pursue responsibility, and strictly pursuing responsibility, and achieving lifelong accountability, can the system not become a 'scarecrow', a 'paper tiger', and a 'rubber band.'" Xi Jinping will do what he says.
Punishment is in charge for a while, and the system is in charge of a long time. Since the Eighteenth National Congress, the institutional construction in the field of ecological environment has set up "four beams and eight pillars"——
The central environmental protection inspection system has become a "microscope" and a "scalpel", and the persistent pollution diseases in many places have been exposed and cured; officials have become river chiefs and lake chiefs; the revision of laws and regulations such as the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law and the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law has made the cost of violating the law higher...
With an iron fist, China's ecological environment has been greatly improved. "APEC blue" was a hot word on the Internet a few years ago, and now it is no longer novel, after the blue sky defense war, the proportion of days with excellent air quality in cities at the prefecture level and above in the country will reach 87% in 2020; the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the ecological protection of the Yellow River Basin and the high-quality development strategy have been proposed, and the great protection of the Mother River has risen to a national strategy...
Not long ago, at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity Leaders' Summit, Xi Jinping told the story of the "world's internet celebrity" Yunnan elephant going north and returning. He announced that China has officially established the first batch of national parks such as Sanjiangyuan, giant panda, Northeast tiger and leopard, Hainan Tropical Rainforest and Wuyishan, with a protection area of 230,000 square kilometers and covering nearly 30% of the national key protected wild animals and plant species in the land area.
Xi Jinping said: "We must have a deep reverence for nature, respect nature, conform to nature, protect nature, and build a home on earth where man and nature coexist in harmony." ”

"Why do you say that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains?" Fish live in water and grass, and birds choose good trees to roost. If all other conditions are in place, who wouldn't want to go to a place with green waters and green mountains to invest, to develop, to work, to live, to travel? In this sense, green waters and green mountains are not only natural wealth, but also social wealth and economic wealth. In March 2014, when Xi Jinping participated in the deliberations of the Guizhou delegation to the Second Session of the 12th National People's Congress, he said the positive interaction between ecological environmental protection and economic development.
Since the 18th Party Congress, more and more stories of "two mountains" have been spread in the north and south of the river.
The northernmost part of Hebei is studded with an "emerald", which is the world's largest plantation sea - Saihan Dam. The former Saihan Dam, where "yellow sand shades the sky and birds have no perch trees", has now become a lush forest sea.
From the "high, far and cold" in the past to the "green, beautiful and fragrant" today, Saihan Dam purifies water quality and conserves water sources of 284 million cubic meters every year, sequestrating 860,300 tons of carbon and releasing 598,400 tons of oxygen. The forest farm actively develops the green ecological industry and becomes a "green bank" for employees and the surrounding masses to get rid of poverty and get rich.
Good ecology brings good "money scene" to more places.
A tree was not cut down, but it earned more than 140,000 yuan, which was put aside before, and the villagers of Changkou Village in Sanming, Fujian Province, did not dare to think about it.
This "strange" income comes from "carbon tickets". This is based on the increase in forest growth and converted into carbon emission reduction according to the measurement method, and issued to the owner of the forest in the form of a "ticket", thereby transforming "air" into "real money and silver" that can be traded, stored and loaned. As long as the forest is well managed, the owner of the forest can continue to receive income. In May this year, Sanming held the first ceremony of the forestry "carbon ticket". The "carbon ticket" of 12,723 tons of carbon emission reduction during the monitoring period of the 3197 mu ecological public welfare forest in Changkou Village was bought out on the day of issuance.
China has made a commitment to the world to reduce emissions: carbon dioxide emissions will peak by 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The promotion of the "carbon peak, carbon neutrality" action, and the emergence of diversified ecological products such as "forest tickets", "carbon tickets" and carbon finance will bring new growth points to economic development. The green water and green mountains have truly become golden mountains and silver mountains.
People do not live up to Qingshan, and Qingshan will certainly not live up to people.
