First, the significance of the second Eurasian land bridge
In September 1990, China's Northern Xinjiang Railway (Urumqi- Alashankou) was connected with the Soviet Railway. This marked the formal formation of the second Eurasian Land Bridge, which followed the Siberian Land Bridge from Lianyungang in the east to enter the former Soviet Central Asia region along the Longhai and Lanxin railways, and passed through its seven independent countries in the southwest and the three Baltic states, Poland and Germany, which directly connected to rotterdam, the world's largest port, the Netherlands. It has a total length of 11,767 kilometers, a length of 4,131 kilometers in China, accounting for more than one-third of the total length, connecting China's Soviet, Lu, Henan, Anhui, Jin, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ning, Sichuan, Qingdao, New 11 provinces and regions, 89 prefectures and cities, more than 570 counties (cities), an area of about 3.6 million square kilometers, will promote China's east- and western two-way opening-up, the development of foreign trade, strengthen international economic and cultural exchanges will certainly have a far-reaching impact, for the revitalization of China, accelerate the construction of the four modernizations is of great practical significance. From the economic point of view alone, it can increase the direct economic benefits of China's foreign trade; expand the broad scope of economic attraction; attract and bear a relatively large volume of domestic and foreign goods; greatly promote the development of China's tourism industry; and promote the formation of the continental bridge corridor industry.
At present, the situation of China jointly developing and utilizing the Eurasian land bridge is in the ascendant. As early as the early 1980s, the construction of the Eurasian Land Bridge has been studied and demonstrated by international and domestic scholars in many aspects, and the Policy Research Office of the State Council and the Economic Development Research Center have held several special meetings to study how to develop the second Eurasian Land Bridge. In particular, since 1986, it has entered an upsurge of special research on this issue; Lianyungang, Xi'an, Lanzhou and other cities have established the Mainland Bridge Economic Belt Research and Promotion Association, the state foreign trade department has set up the Trade Promotion Association of the cities along the Mainland Bridge, the China Information Association has set up a professional committee for the Continental Bridge with the participation of eleven provinces and cities along the Route, the Science and Technology Department has set up the Continental Bridge Foreign Technical Exchange Association, and more than 50 associations, research associations, offices, and headquarters organizations have also been established in this regard, such as the Statistical Association and the Tourism Joint Corporation. The Lanzhou Municipal Government organized personnel to carry out special research on soft science in this regard. All localities, cities and industries are actively developing and utilizing the development strategy of the Eurasian Land Bridge, holding various types of seminars and organizing special visits.
From a cultural point of view, the Chinese strip of the land bridge, which is also the main birthplace of the Chinese nation, is also the ancient Silk Road, with a long history and many places of interest and monuments, and both modern civilization, which adds attraction and cohesion to the development of the economy. In the northern Jiangsu, Central Plains and Guanzhong areas of the eastern section of the Mainland Bridge, there are not only famous cities and resorts such as Lianyungang, Xuzhou, Jinan, Qufu and Zhengzhou, but also the historical capitals of China such as Kaifeng, Luoyang, Anyang and Xi'an, as well as the famous tombs and famous mountain temples of the Huangling, Qinling and Han and Tang dynasties. The western section of the Mainland Bridge, due to the overlap with the ancient Silk Road, Tianshui Maijishan, Linxia Bingling Temple, Qinghai Tar Temple, Dunhuang Thousand Buddha Cave and Lanzhou, Urumqi and other provinces with unique styles of cities and many ethnic minority folk customs, etc., these valuable cultural resources will certainly form a new international tourism hotline. Therefore, experts and scholars call the Land Bridge "the golden bridge connecting the world", "the golden belt for revitalizing China", and "the Silk Road in the new century".
Second, the location of Hezhou on the land bridge determines that it is imperative to vigorously develop Hezhou culture
Hezhou is located in China's Loess Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and mosaic zone, since ancient times is one of the important intersections of the Central Plains culture and the western frontier culture, the Qijia culture produced in honshu, the Mid-Levels culture and a large number of excavated cultural relics and bingling Temple grottoes and other monuments fully prove that Hezhou once produced a splendid culture in ancient times. Hezhou belonged to the land of ancient Yongzhou, which belonged to the Qin state during the Warring States period, and Han County was the main settlement of the ancient Qiang people. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Tuguhun tribe marched west from the northeast, through the Dayin Mountains to Long, and learned that the grain and livestock of The Han were abundant, but they entered the Stronghold of The Han, and used the Han as a bridgehead, accumulating strength to march to Qinghai in the future. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Western Qin built a capital in Yuhan and fought with Nanliang and other regimes for a long time for this rich land. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Tubo and the Central Plains Dynasty fiercely competed for Hezhou, forming a tug-of-war, so Du Fu wrote in the "Miscellaneous Songs of Qinzhou"; "The wind ringleads, and the fish sea road is often difficult." Fenglin was the River State at that time. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia blocked the Eastern Part of the Silk Road in Hexi, and the chancellor Wang Anshi sent Wang Shao to the Battle of the Xihe River, defeated the Tubo Muzheng tribe that occupied Hezhou, and opened up the Silk Road, and domestic merchants and officials and merchants from Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, Kazakhstan and other countries detoured east and west through Hezhou, and Hezhou became an important auxiliary road on the Silk Road. The Yuan Dynasty established the Tubo Xuanwei Envoy Division in Hezhou and became the headquarters of the Tubo who ruled the Amdo region. During the Ming Dynasty, the Twenty-Four Passes and the Tea Horse Division were established in Hezhou. The compiler of the Yongle Canon was demoted to Hezhou and appointed as a weili house official in Hezhou. During the Chenghua period, Wang Hu, a native of Hezhou, served as a soldier shangshu and had outstanding political achievements, so Hezhou was relatively well-known during the Ming Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, the Hui in Hezhou had a large number of people, and three grand anti-Qing struggles were launched in the Qianlong, Tongzhi and Guangxu eras. Historically, Zhang Qian traveled through the western region, Fa Xian traveled west, the Sui Emperor toured Zhangye in the west, and Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, all passing through Hezhou. By the time of the Republic of China, Hezhou people Ma Anliang, Ma Qi, Ma Lin, Ma Bufang, Ma Hongkui, and others had successively ruled Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia, and on the eve of liberation, Ma Bufang served as the military and political chief of the northwest and became the "King of the Northwest".
The above history proves that Hezhou once occupied an important place on the overland Silk Road, and in the same way, the second Eurasian land bridge will also occupy an important position today. However, from the middle of the Qing Dynasty to the eve of liberation, for various reasons, Hezhou culture was in a long period of depression and silence. In the past 40 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the leadership of the party and the government, although The culture of Hezhou has developed by leaps and bounds, it is obviously still very backward and closed compared with the Central Plains and the southeast coast. If we do not take advantage of the construction boom along the second Eurasian land bridge to vigorously develop the culture of Hezhou, then the cultural gap between Hezhou and the southeast will widen, which will inevitably affect the pace of economic construction in Linxia.
After the opening of the Eurasian Land Bridge, large, medium, and small cities along the Route of Our Country competed to vigorously develop local culture, set up various institutions for the development of culture, increased and expanded cultural building facilities, held various forms of seminars, and carried out cultural activities with different characteristics to enhance their status on the land bridge, expand their influence at home and abroad, and vigorously develop local culture and art. Hezhou is close to Lanzhou, which can be reached in two or three hours by car, and is a satellite city of Lanzhou, one of the hubs of the Continental Bridge. Lanzhou city only has the urban area of Wuquan Mountain, Gaolan Mountain, Baita Mountain and other parks and nearby Yongdeng Turgu, Yuzhong Xinglong Mountain and other scenic spots, far from meeting The needs of Lanzhou City for internal and external economic and cultural tourism, therefore, we must vigorously develop the Hezhou culture close to Lanzhou, in order to make up for and enrich the deficiencies and needs of Gansu and Lanzhou's opening up to the outside world. Therefore, in the 1992 China Friendship Tourism Year, the provincial tourism department designated Linxia-Xiahe as a customs and folk tourism line, and the relevant state departments also classified Linxia as the Yellow River customs tourism line and the Silk Road cultural tourism line.
Based on these reasons, Linxia should catch up and work intensively to develop Hezhou culture to meet the needs of the construction of the land bridge.
Recently, the state party committee decided to hold the "River State Flower Art Festival" and decided to make it a year, once a little. This year is the first edition, so it should be held on a larger scale. We believe that this is a strategic decision of the state party committee in promoting and developing Hezhou culture and accelerating the construction of Linxia culture, which will surely promote the complementarity and integration of the traditional national culture and modern culture of the whole state, promote the prosperity and development of national culture, and will also promote the combination of economy and culture, and will promote "cultural stage, economic singing" and activities, thus promoting the development and prosperity of our state's economy and culture. Therefore, holding the "Hezhou Flower Art Festival" is a good beginning for revitalizing Hezhou culture. We should take this opportunity to seriously consider the development of local culture, formulate certain policies and measures, actively participate in the activities of the annual "Hezhou Flower Art Festival", and contribute our talents and strength to the prosperity of the state's culture.
Third, Linxia has rich cultural resources for development
For a long time, people have always believed that Linxia's resources are poor, the local area is poor, and it is difficult for culture to develop greatly. It is true that Linxia does lack metal resources, especially rare metal resources such as gold, silver, copper, nickel, and platinum. However, other resources such as sunlight, wind power, water conservancy, soil and marble, granite, wollastonite and other non-metallic resources are still relatively rich, especially after thousands of years of accumulation of cultural resources are quite rich, if they can be fully and rationally developed and utilized, it will make the people of all ethnic groups in the state enjoy inexhaustible for generations.
The unique cultural resources of River State mainly have these aspects:
1. There are many unique places of interest and historical sites. Located in the western part of Yongjing County, Bingling Temple is one of the three major grottoes in Gansu, second only to the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and the Tianshui Maijishan Grottoes, and is located on the shore of the Liujiaxia Reservoir in the blue waves, with a unique lake and mountains, and is a good base for studying sculpture painting and Buddhist art in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and Tang Dynasties. Jishiguan, located in Dahe Hometown of Dongxiang Sala Autonomous County of the Baoan Ethnic Group in Jishishan Mountain, is the beginning of the Yellow River entering Gansu, and is the starting point of the legendary Dayu "Guiding River Accumulation Stone, Ending at the Dragon Gate", and there are large-scale Yuwang Temples in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as ruins such as Yuwang Cliff and Yuwang Stone. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, The scholar Xie Jin made a special trip to investigate and left a poem that reads, "Jishi Tangjia Festival City, Tubo Qiang Hat Tent Horizontal", and the mo people of the past generations have written many inscriptions on Jishiguan. Mr. Gu Jiegang, a famous historian in China, made a special trip to inspect the shape of Jishiguan in the 1940s. Linxia City Buddhist Temple Wanshou Temple, Erlanggang, Qixian Cave near the west of the city, the three peaks side by side, the pavilion Saga, the scenery is beautiful, and there are moving myths, legends and Buddhist stories. In addition, there are many unexplored and unexplored places of interest in the eight counties and cities.
2. Linxia's natural scenery is spectacular and beautiful. Located at the southern end of Kangle County, Lotus Mountain, and the southern part of Hezheng County, Songming Rock, the mountain is majestic, the forest is dense, and the temple stands on the top of the cliff, which is not only beautiful but also a flower venue on the famous Longshang. Located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the Liujiaxia Power Plant Dam is majestic, the dam discharge is like ten thousand horses galloping, clouds and mist floating in the air, spectacular and moving; Liujiaxia Reservoir covers an area of 35 square kilometers, equivalent to the area of 25 West Lakes, the largest "Gaoxia Ping Lake" in Gansu Province, with staggered boats, wild birds playing in the water, and fish swimming happily. In addition, there are scenic spots such as Barmi Mountain, Taizi Mountain, Dizhu Mountain, Sigou Gorge, Yemu River, Yehai, Wushan Pond, Mengda Tianchi and Red Garden, Peony Garden in the Eastern Suburbs. Visit Labrang Monastery in Xiahe County, one of the six major Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the country, linxia is a must-visit place.
3. There are many ethnic minorities, and the famous customs and customs are unique. There are a small number of ethnic groups such as Hui, Tu, Dongxiang, Baoan, and Sala in the territory, and it is the only concentrated area of the Dongxiang and Baoan ethnic groups in the country, and there are autonomous regions in each country, which has great development value.
4. Developed folk songs are famous as the "hometown of flowers". Hezhou, Taomin two major genres of 70, 80 kinds of tunes, every summer, there have been dozens of flower venues, it is estimated that each year produce hundreds of thousands of flowers, it is said that it is one of the larger folk song developed areas in China, known as "the ocean of folk songs", therefore, is a good place for economic and cultural exchanges.
5. Islam is highly developed. Linxia is known as the "Chinese Wheat Plus", mosques are spread throughout the state, and the architectural styles are diverse. The four ethnic minorities in Linxia who believe in Islam have close contacts with the Hui people throughout the country, and government officials and religious leaders from the Arab world often visit and are a good base for studying Hui and Islamic culture; at the same time, Linxia is also the research center of the northwestern horses (Ma Zhan'ao, Ma Anliang, Ma Qi, Ma Lin, Ma Zhongying, Ma Bufang, Ma Buqing, Ma Hongbin, Ma Hongkui, etc.).
6. The circulation of commodities is developed, and the market trade is very active. There are more than 80 markets in the territory, and Linxia City and Sanjia Market are the largest distribution centers for fur, livestock and tea in Gansu. There are Hezhou Streets in Xiaguan, Yunnan, and Lhasa, Tibet, so there is no better condition for studying Hui commercial culture.
7. The national craft is exquisite and unique. Hui brick carving has long been famous, the East Mansion, Butterfly Tower, Red Garden and other places are the ideal visiting point for brick carving; unearthed faience pottery, a wide variety of ancient coins, imitation faience replicas are available for sale; security waist knife style is unique, unique craftsmanship; carved gourd exquisite and ingenious, is a good ornament and decoration. Therefore, in the future, we must vigorously develop arts and crafts, craft production, and national handicrafts and distribution of special needs.
8. Hezhou peony is the first in Longshang, once known as "Luoyang in the east, Hezhou in the west", and "Little Luoyang". In the people's daily life, there are countless people who call themselves peonies. In the past, the famous peony gardens were all over the state, and "lang peony" was a unique folk custom in Hezhou. Luoyang has held ten peony flower fairs, received nearly 30 million merchants, and trade turnover of more than 3 billion yuan. Now they have 340 varieties of peonies, more than 1 million plants, not only sold throughout the country, but also exported to Japan, France, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries. Luoyang's annual peony flower fair is a grand event that integrates flower viewing, lantern viewing, economy and trade, science and technology, culture and tourism. Linxia City has built a peony garden in the eastern suburbs, collecting more than 60 varieties of peonies and more than 5,000 plants, so Linxia should vigorously develop flower resources headed by peonies, further study peony customs, and do a good job in the flower and bird market.
9, the traffic is more convenient. The highways in all directions can be reached in all directions, from the prefecture capital to more than 40 kilometers west to Qinghai Xunhua Sala Autonomous County; more than 30 kilometers to the southwest to reach the territory of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture; more than 150 kilometers northeast to the provincial capital Lanzhou; 80 kilometers southeast to Dingxi Lintao; tourist Bingling Temple can also take a boat on the vast Liujiaxia Reservoir "Gaoxia Pinghu Lake".
10. The conditions for foreign exchanges are better. Linxia is the hometown of overseas Chinese and Taiwan in Gansu, and there are many overseas Chinese and Compatriots in Hong Kong and Taiwan, especially in the Arab world, there are many People from Hezhou; after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there are five Islamic countries such as Kazakhstan and Tajikistan adjacent to China's western border.
Fourth, the main intention of developing Hezhou culture
In the past hundred years, the excellent ethnic and folk culture in Hezhou has been continuously annihilated for various reasons, the historical sites and precious cultural relics have been seriously damaged, and the cultural advantages have been in a state of loss, which is sad. At present, with the further reform and opening up of the country, with the penetration of the Eurasian Land Bridge, and with the unprecedented development of sightseeing and tourism, the time has come to comprehensively develop and utilize the culture of Hezhou. After studying the history, geography, economy, culture and other conditions of Linxia, the author believes that the development of Hezhou culture must start from the following aspects:
1. Vigorously run the "Hezhou Flower Art Festival". This art festival is actually an activity to comprehensively develop Hezhou culture with "flowers" as the lead, including folk songs, music, dance, drama, novels, poetry, prose, photography, fine arts, calligraphy, ethnic folk literature research and tourism, gastronomy, transportation, economy and trade, scientific and technological publicity, foreign liaison, health, public security, environmental protection and other aspects, requiring the input and participation of all levels, departments and industries. This year is the first art festival, which is a big test of Linxia Prefecture's human and material resources, as well as a big test of our level of understanding, reception capacity, transportation, health, publicity, communication and other levels. Running the first art festival well, conscientiously exploring experience, and laying a good foundation for running the annual art festival in the future.
2. Deeply excavate the treasure house of culture and art. At the Third China Arts Festival held in Yunnan at the beginning of this year, many experts pointed out that national and folk culture is an inexhaustible source of culture that is often dug up and constantly new, and the deeper and deeper it is excavated. First, we must vigorously excavate the accumulation of underground culture. The Neolithic Qijia culture, the Majiayao culture's horse factory type and mid-mountain type, the Song Jiandu City in the Three Kingdoms period, the Western Qin capital city in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the Tang Dynasty Hezhou City, the Song Hezhou City, and the Yuan Dynasty Tubo Xuanwei Envoy Division sites all need to be excavated, and archaeological research should be strengthened in order to show the splendid ancient culture of Hezhou to the inside and outside of the prefecture, and integrate its essence into the development and construction of Linxia modern culture. The second is to vigorously develop folk oral literature, dig deeply, collect, sort out, and study the ethnic folk literature that is transmitted orally such as flowers, songs, wine songs, virtuous filial piety, puppet opera, and banquet songs, edit literary materials, and record them into audio-visual products. The third is to choreograph music, dance, and drama with strong national and local characteristics, especially the "flower drama" that has already taken steps, which should be further innovated and improved, so that it can become a unique and attractive drama in Longshang. The fourth is to hold various forms of exhibitions, in the more than forty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, dozens of exhibitions have been held, a large number of exhibition talents have been cultivated, rich experience has been accumulated, and a wide variety of exhibits have been collected. The fifth is to increase the basic facilities of culture and entertainment, comprehensively, deeply and meticulously explore treasures and dig for treasures, and at the same time, it is necessary to widely publicize the essence of Hezhou literature and art with Hezhou flowers as the main body through a variety of news media.
3. Systematically edit and publish the illustrated and colorful "Hezhou Literature and Art Book". This is the task of struggle put forward by the Linxia Prefecture Literary Association as early as 1985 at the first all-state literary congress, which has not yet been fulfilled, and in the future conditions should be created to successively edit and publish "Hezhou Flower Collection", "Hezhou Banquet Song", "Hezhou Wine Song", "Hezhou Brick Carving", "Hezhou Gourd Carving", "Hezhou Architectural Art", "Hezhou Peony", "Hezhou Hero", "Hezhou Historical Figure", "Hezhou Music and Dance", "Hezhou Ethnic Customs", "Hezhou Landscape Scenery", "Hezhou Flower Society" and so on. In order to introduce Linxia to the outside world, publicize Linxia, and strengthen cultural exchanges at home and abroad.
4. Develop folk crafts. Linxia ethnic handicrafts are rich in varieties and were once quite developed. Paper-cutting, lock bags, embroidery, gourds, waist knives, brick carvings, wood carvings and other unique local and ethnic characteristics. Due to the long-term failure to organize development well, it has not been able to form a certain advantage. Hezhou gourd carving should be changed to a single variety into a variety, carving size matching, shape matching, color matching, story matching gourd series products, and improve the pendulum, hanging, belt, take and other auxiliary processes, mass production; Hezhou brick carving in addition to building decoration, should carry out shadow wall, courtyard pavilion and other small models, easy to sell, gift, exhibition, decoration; Hezhou waist knife to improve the knife and cartoning process, and have style name supporting accessories crafts; Hezhou faience reproduction to increase the variety, consider the furnishing matching; embroidery, lock bag, Handicrafts such as paper-cutting, wheat straw painting, root carving, and stone carving should also be vigorously developed to open up a new situation.
5. Develop Food Culture in Hezhou. Hezhou snacks such as rice wine, sweet pickles, stuffed skins, cold powder, hair noodle sausages, Hezhou buns, miscellaneous cuts, etc. are famous, but in recent years, the craftsmanship is rough, the tableware is rough, the restaurant is rough, the service is vulgar, and the hygiene is not good. For example, Linxia's pot helmet was very famous in the past, but in recent years, Linxia has almost disappeared, and the so-called "pot helmet" sold now is actually a flapjack. Therefore, there is an urgent need to significantly improve this aspect of the work, which can greatly increase the attractiveness of diners and tourists. Linxia's wine culture has many mysteries and unique features, and the "Mountain Country Drunk" choreographed by the State National Song and Dance Troupe is the stage performance of this wine culture. In the future, if we can develop more refined, we will be able to produce works with special charm.
6. Vigorously develop tourism culture. With the increasing development of international and domestic tourism, the Silk Road inspection and sightseeing fever and the penetration of the Eurasian Land Bridge, tourism activities will be more prosperous, and the competition in tourism is very fierce. Because we are imprisoned by a strong inland consciousness, we believe that tourism is a matter of famous big cities in the country and famous scenic spots such as Lushan, Huangshan, Zhangjiajie, jiuzhaigou and so on, and linxia has no development necessity and value. However, in recent years, the tourism industry in the western desert areas that few people have been interested in in the past has become increasingly prosperous, and the melon and fruit festival in Dunhuang, the International Skydiving Festival, the peach festival in Xinjiang, the grape ditch, the Silk Road investigation, the desert park in Wuwei, the Shasheng Botanical Garden in Minqin, the tourism of sand control achievements in Ningxia, the tourism of Helan Mountain, the yellow river raft tourism in Lanzhou, the ice and snow tourism and grassland yurt tourism in Inner Mongolia are very attractive to domestic and foreign tourists, and some provinces and regions have also built national cultural scenic spots, and every mountain, water, village and village are all scenic spots. Hezhou is close to Lanzhou, there are conditions and good prospects for the development of tourism culture, Lanzhou holds the Silk Road Art Festival, Linxia to hold the Flower Art Festival, echoing each other, just in time. Hezhou tourism culture should pay attention to the development of the following aspects:
(1) The prefecture should organize planning, finance, urban construction, tourism, township enterprises, and cultural departments to make plans for the development of Linxia tourism resources, and carry out scientific and rational development and construction in a planned and phased manner in batches, and Lotus Mountain, Yongjing County, Linxia City, and Dahejia should be the first batch of development points in this century. The development points of Linxia City include Red Garden, Donggongguan, Nanbei Mountains, Eastern Suburbs, Xijiao Park, Wang Hun and Zhu Gui Memorial Hall; the development points of Yongjing County should include Bingling Temple, the greening and beautification of the reservoir area, Barmi Mountain, Luojiadong, Ganggou Temple, and other scenic spots; the development points of Lotus Mountain should include the main peak of Lotus Mountain, Yehai, Yemu Gorge, ZuguChuan, Wangjiagou Gate and Zhujiashan Mountain, where Li Zicheng fought bloodily with the Ming Dynasty army, and Jinggu City of the Soviet regime established by the Red Army; the Development Point of Dahejia should include Xianshengchi, Jishiguan, Changning City, Dahejia Market Town, Yellow River raft tourism, Ma Zhan'ao Cemetery, Baoan waist knife craft factory, Baoan ethnic village customs, Baoan folk customs exhibition hall, Baoan amateur literary and artistic organizations and so on. It can also jointly develop Turkish style sightseeing spots with Qinghai Minhe County on the other side of the Yellow River.
(2) Improve the environment and services of natural landscapes. In the southwest of Linxia stands the snow-capped Jishi Mountain, Taizi Mountain, Baishi Mountain, and Lotus Mountain, which have peaks or thousands of years of snow, or alpine lakes. Such as The Yehai of Kangle, the Wushan Pond of Linxia County, the Xiansheng Pond on the border of Jishishan County, etc.; the mountainside Cangsong Cypress, steep rock cliffs, and temple brakes dotted among them, such as Songming Rock of Hezheng, Barmi Mountain of Yongjing County, and so on; there are dozens of canyons in the foothills of Jishi Mountain, Taizi Mountain, and Baishi Mountain in the southwest, waterfalls, babbling water, dense forests, birds and birdsong, such as Kangle Yemu Gorge, Hezheng's Nanzha Gorge, Sigou Gorge, Linxia County's Locust Tree Pass, Jishi Mountain's Hanging Water Gorge, Fanjia Gorge, CuiJia Gorge, Jishi Gorge, etc. The famous Twelve Views of River State are some of these high mountain valleys. However, most of them are virgin lands that have not been developed and built, and there is no road connection to each other, no lines and surfaces, and the site is small and has no service facilities. If mountain roads can be built and various scenic spots are properly developed, it is a good place to cool off in the heat period, and it is a natural place for skiing in the cold. In addition, Yongjing County in the northeast of the prefecture has good tourism resources, including the beautiful scenery and the temples and temples, the famous grotto Bingling Temple, the Liujiaxia Power Station and Reservoir, luojiadong and Ganggou Temple, etc. At present, although there are cruise ship services, but other such as food, accommodation, tour guides, rest, entertainment, inspection conditions are too poor, tourism publicity materials, handicrafts are also very lacking, if you can improve the above situation, Yongjing County will further become a tourism hotspot in Lanzhou. At present, many scenic spots in Linxia generally lack basic service facilities, there is no good road for driving, there is no parking space, there is no restaurant for dining, there is no tour guide on the mountain, there is no toilet at the scenic spot, there is no tour guide map to understand the situation, and there is no tourist souvenir. It is urgent to accelerate the development of these aspects, so that the annual Flower Art Festival has also become a tourism festival, so that guests and tourists can live comfortably, eat deliciously, have fun, walk conveniently, and harvest as expected.
(3) Build a number of cultural landscape attractions. Most of the scenic spots in Hezhou lack cultural landscapes. Hangzhou naturally has the natural beauty of lakes and mountains. However, the performance and spiritual reflection of historical celebrities such as Yue Tomb, Qiu Jin Tomb, Du Fu, Su Shi, Bai Juyi and so on have added a lot to Hangzhou. The legend of Jishiguan in Linxia is the starting point of Dayu's "River Guide Stone", in ancient times, there was a grand Yuwang Temple, where officials and celebrities from past generations came to investigate and visit many people, and the Ming Dynasty scholar Xie Jin once made a special trip to investigate and write poems to commemorate. In the early 1940s, Mr. Gu Jiegang, a famous historian in China, rode a donkey to Jishiguan for an inspection. If you can build a statue of Dayu here, erect a group of literati who have sung the poetry of Jishiguan, and build some pavilions, it will be very attractive. Dahejia, which is located under the Jishi Pass, is a residential area of the Baoan ethnic group, across the river from Qinghai Minhe County, and in recent years, the Yellow River Bridge has been built, forming a prosperous market town with unique national characteristics. Dahejia was also the hometown of Ma Zhan'ao, the leader of the Hui people's anti-Qing struggle in Hezhou during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and if an exhibition hall of Baoan folk customs could be built, an amateur Baoan ethnic song and dance team could be set up, and an exhibition hall of Ma Zhan'ao's anti-Qing struggle deeds could be set up, the economic and cultural prosperity of this market town and the entire Jishishan County would be further promoted. Linxia City is the hometown of The Ming Dynasty's Bingbu Shangshu Wang Hu after Yu Qian, when Wang Hu took office, his political achievements were outstanding, after his death in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, there are many of his ancestral halls, and Hezhou also had his mausoleum and ancestral hall. Zhu Gui, a native of Hezhou during the Daoguang Period of the Qing Dynasty, led Longshang Jian'er to die in a bloody battle against the British invaders at Dabaoshan Mountain in Cixi, Zhejiang Province, and was a patriotic hero in the famous Opium War in the country. Cixi City, Zhejiang Province, has his ancestral hall and memorial hall, and the local people go to pay tribute every year during the Qingming Festival. In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Opium War, large commemorations were held locally, while his hometown of River State is unknown. For example, the establishment of the Wang Zhu Memorial Hall and the Zhu Gui Memorial Hall in Linxia City, and the restoration and construction of some buildings such as the "Tongjing Bridge" and the "Reception Hall" that existed in the past will certainly add luster to Linxia. Ma Fulu of Yangwashan in Linxia County was the father of Ma Hongbin, who had served as vice governor of Gansu Province, who led his army to a major victory in the Battle of Langfang when the Eight-Power Alliance invaded Beijing, and then was martyred in the fierce battle of ZhengyangMen in the bloody battle, and the Qing court named him "General Zhenwei". After liberation, at the request of Ma Hongbin and with the approval of Premier Zhou Enlai, his bones were moved to YangwaShan in Linxia County. If a commemorative building is built, it will not only educate young people, but also increase the cultural landscape of Linxia, which will leave a good impression on guests at home and abroad and improve the popularity of Hezhou. In recent years, the statue of the Lotus Fairy has been erected on Lotus Mountain, which has made the landscape of Tangfang Beach more beautiful and the interest has suddenly increased; in the future, the image of the famous flower singer "Poor Sister" should be sculpted in the Lotus Mountain, and the monuments of the Jinggu Soviet regime established during Li Zicheng's bloody battle against Zhujiashan and the Red Army's Long March should be restored and built, not only expanding the venues for cultural, tourism, and economic and trade activities in Lotus Mountain, but also enriching the content of sightseeing.
(4) Establish and develop hydropower culture (or hydropower corporate culture). After years of investigation and demonstration, the relevant state departments revised the hydropower development plan for the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and determined that on the basis of the construction of 15 cascade power stations between Longyangxia in Qinghai and Qingtongxia in Ningxia, ten medium-sized cascade power stations will be added, with a total installed capacity of 1522.2 kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of 57.734 billion kWh. This section of the river flows through the three provinces of Qingdao, Gansu and Ningxia, the valleys and rivers are interspersed, the mountains and rivers are narrow, the water flow is rapid, the drop is concentrated, the water volume is abundant and stable, the Sichuan area is open, it is a good natural reservoir area, the hydropower development conditions are very superior, it is the most densely populated area on the power station on China's major rivers, and the state and the province are classified as the upper reaches of the Yellow River Economic Development Zone, which is conducive to the development of energy-consuming and high-energy-consuming industries. Only the power stations that have been built in Linxia Prefecture include liujiaxia, yanpanxia and bapanxia (bordering Lanzhou city) three large and medium-sized power stations, and the power stations to be built such as Jishixia and Sigou gorge are the most dense river sections of the Yellow River power station. These power stations are bound to concentrate a large number of hydropower construction troops, a large number of hydropower facilities, is bound to make the reservoir like a pearl on the main line of the Yellow River, strung into a bead chain, become a tourism, commercial and cultural hotline. This requires a special cultural system to serve it. It can not only promote economic construction, but also develop tourism culture and corporate culture. To this end, it is necessary to establish some basic organizations, make development plans, vigorously develop the Yellow River culture and hydropower culture, do a good job in the cultural service work of hydropower construction, attract more people to the Yellow River Pearl to travel to Gaoxia Pinghu Lake, refute national nihilism, and promote the development and prosperity of Linxia's economy and culture.
In recent years, the Linxia Prefecture Party Committee and State Government has made many efforts in this regard, and many departments have also carried out many useful explorations and attempts; as long as we enhance our awareness of reform and opening up, conscientiously take advantage of the current great opportunities, ride the sails of hope, and meet the challenges of fierce competition, then we will surely usher in the economic revitalization and cultural prosperity of the whole state in the new century, and will surely make the whole state a brilliant cultural pearl on the long line of tourism on the Eurasian Land Bridge.
