Party History Study 丨How to understand the concept that green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains?

In the early days of reform and opening up, Anjiyu Village in Zhejiang Province became the famous "richest village" by relying on mountain quarrying, the people's pockets bulged, but the ecological environment deteriorated, and the smoke and dust and sewage flow became a big problem that plagued the masses. Do you want a "money bag" or a "green leaf"? At the crossroads of choice, in August 2005, Comrade Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, came to Yucun to investigate, and with a forward-looking strategic vision, he proposed for the first time that "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains". Under the guidance of this important concept, Yucun strives to restore the ecology, knocks on the new door of economic development with green water and green mountains, and embarks on a green development path of ecological beauty and people's wealth. Today, this new development concept has moved from small mountain villages to the whole of China, has become a major principle for promoting modernization, and has become the consensus and action of the whole party and society.

Green water and green mountains and golden mountains and silver mountains are visual expressions of ecological environmental protection and economic development, which are by no means opposed, but dialectically unified. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "We want both green water and green mountains, but also golden mountains and silver mountains. It is better to have green water and green mountains than golden mountains and silver mountains, and green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. "This profoundly reveals that protecting the ecological environment is to protect the productive forces, and improving the ecological environment is to develop the productive forces, and clearly points out the new path to achieve the coordinated coexistence of development and protection." Economic development is not to exhaust resources and ecological environment and fish, ecological environmental protection should not be to abandon the edge of economic development for fish, but to adhere to the development of protection, in the protection of development. Development is the last word, but we must not consider or rarely consider the carrying capacity of the environment, and we must not blindly ask for resources. The "evergreen tree" we plant is the "cash cow", and the good ecology itself contains infinite economic value, which can continuously create comprehensive benefits and achieve sustainable economic and social development.

Green water and green mountains are not only natural wealth and ecological wealth, but also social wealth and economic wealth. "The grass and trees are planted, and the wealth of the country is also." Majestic mountains, vast grasslands, dense forests, blue seas and blue skies, clean beaches, lakes and wetlands, ice and snow, etc. are all generous gifts of nature and the greatest capital for the sustainable development of mankind. Green water and green mountains are still more basic and fundamental wealth, without green water and green mountains, all the wealth of human society will become a source of water, no wood.

The green water and green mountains themselves contain infinite economic value, and can also continuously bring gold and silver mountains. Marxism holds that natural resources, as the means of labor, are the basic elements that constitute the productive forces. In social production, man and nature act simultaneously, and nothing can be created without the natural world and without sensibility. Protecting the ecological environment is to protect the value of nature and value-added natural capital, and to protect the potential and stamina of economic and social development. Today, modern economic and social development is becoming more and more dependent on natural ecology, and green ecology has become the greatest wealth, the greatest advantage and the largest brand. "Fish live in the water and grass, birds choose good trees to roost." If all other conditions are available, people are willing to invest, develop, work, live and travel to places with green waters and green mountains. Hebei Saihanba Forest Farm has created a human miracle of changing wasteland into forest sea, sand into oasis, and green mountains into golden mountains, Jilin Chagan Lake Fishery farm to achieve ecological protection and development tourism complement each other, Shaanxi Ankang tea farmers get rich from tea, because tea prosperity, all confirm the "protect the ecology, ecology will give back to you" truth.

Netizens whispered "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water", blindly exhausting the water and fishing, only looking at the immediate and not seeking the long term, is bound to destroy the homeland and eat the bitter fruit. "Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Protecting the ecological environment is an important "must-answer question", not an optional "additional question".

Green water and green mountains are an important part of the people's happy life, which is better than the golden mountains and silver mountains. A good ecological environment is the common wealth of the people, the fairest public goods, and the most inclusive people's livelihood and well-being. The mountains are full of forests, the blue and green of the plains, and the birds and flowers of urban and rural areas, such natural beauty brings people the enjoyment of beauty. For the survival of people, there is no substitute for the ecological environment. Jinshan Yinshan is important, but if the air and drinking water are not qualified, there is no happiness to speak of. The masses of the people used to "hope for food and clothing" and now "hope for environmental protection", and in the past , they "sought survival" and now "sought ecology". We must continue to meet the people's new expectations for high-quality ecological products and beautiful ecological environment, so that the people can "see the mountains, see the water, and remember the homesickness."

Establishing and practicing green water and green mountains is the concept of Jinshan Yinshan, and we must make a fundamental change from ideological understanding and specific actions. It is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between economic development and ecological environmental protection, so that the green water and green mountains have a higher appearance and the golden mountains and silver mountains are more colorful. Unswervingly protect the golden rice bowl of green water and green mountains, make use of natural advantages to develop characteristic industries, choose good development industries according to local conditions, make a fuss on the landscape, work ecology, and strengthen the beautiful economy. Through reform and innovation, let the land, labor, assets, natural scenery and other elements come alive, and transform the ecological product value contained in the green water and green mountains into Jinshan Yinshan. Establish a market-oriented and diversified ecological compensation mechanism, and actively explore the path of realizing the value of ecological products led by the government, with the participation of enterprises and all sectors of society, market-oriented operation, and sustainability.

If people do not live up to Qingshan, Qingshan will certainly live up to people. The vivid practice under the guidance of the concept of green water and green mountains is the golden mountain and silver mountain, so that the mountains and rivers of the motherland are green and the people's lives are beautiful. If the road is chosen correctly, we must continue to walk, persevere, work for a long time, keep this side of the turquoise, this blue, this purity, build the green water and green mountains more beautiful, make the golden mountains and silver mountains bigger, and let the people share the beauty of nature, the beauty of life, and the beauty of life in the green waters and green mountains.
