In March, the earth is verdant and vibrant. Bamboo seedlings, bamboo shoots, bamboo forests, and bamboo seas can be seen on the roadside, ditch sides, corners, and mountains of Xisha Village, Mujiao Town, Daguan County...... The bamboo shoot picking season is the busiest season for bamboo farmers, and it is also the hardest and happiest moment! A doctor's 30-year bamboo edge bamboo has a long history and profound cultural heritage, and is a symbol of "high festival to help the elderly, loyalty and filial piety", because of its harsh growth environment (high altitude, fog and rain, low sunshine, shade, cold), the population degradation is serious, and the bamboo was included in the first batch of rare and endangered plants in 1984 to announce the third-level protected bamboo species.
Bamboo is not only a gift from nature, but also a treasure of our Chinese culture. It is precisely because of the picky growth environment, bamboo stalk joints bulging, beautiful posture, good toughness, hard quality, wear-resistant and other characteristics, has a very high ornamental and technological value, the industry intends to recommend bamboo as "national bamboo"; bamboo shoots have the characteristics of high protein, high calcium, high fiber, low sugar, low fat, rich in potassium, selenium and amino acid content, and have the reputation of "the crown of bamboo shoots, treasures in vegetables". In the interview in Daguan County, the most heard story is the vivid story of Dr. Dong Wenyuan's team from Southwest Forestry University taking root in Daguan for 30 years and cultivating a bamboo into an industry. Dong Wenyuan, a 62-year-old national second-level professor, has presided over the completion of more than 10 research projects in Daguan County, and has achieved a series of achievements such as biological and ecological characteristics, biodiversity conservation, improved seed breeding and bamboo seedling cultivation technology, restoration of degraded natural forests and efficient cultivation technology of plantations, which have filled the gap in the research of bamboo and laid the theoretical and practical foundation for the protection, cultivation and industrialization development of bamboo resources in Daguan County. Later, Professor Ding Yulong, Wang Ge and Lv Bin, bamboo experts from the Science and Technology Mission of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, joined in, and continuously deepened and expanded the industrial chain.
Dong Wenyuan said: "Culture is the soul of industrial development, science and technology is the foundation of industrial development, bamboo is the most traditional Chinese cultural connotation of bamboo species, I will work hard for it all my life." In order to promote the development of the bamboo industry in Daguan County, Dong Wenyuan participated in the planning and organization of the Daguan County bamboo cultural festival for two consecutive years, and at this year's Daguan County bamboo industry high-quality development conference, he made a special report entitled "The Development Process and Future of the Bamboo Industry", focusing on "rare plants, scientific research, industrial development, and future prospects" four aspects were explained. A bamboo is growing towards the sun Every spring, spring bamboo shoots greet the spring breeze, smile in the sunshine, and grow in the spring rain, one section, one section, and another section. On the morning of April 21, the reporter came to the viewing platform of the 100,000 acres of bamboo core area in Mupole Town, Daguan County. Walk into the dense bamboo forest, bamboo shoots thrive, bamboo farmers are carrying a basket, quickly picking bamboo shoots, half an hour, a person can pick bamboo shoots on a basket, leaving a bamboo shoot shell in the forest. In recent years, based on the advantages of bamboo resources, Daguan County adheres to the development idea of dislocation development and special victory, strengthens confidence, overrides public opinion, anchors the goal of 1 million mu, and makes every effort to develop the bamboo industry of "one county and one industry", and builds a 10 billion yuan bamboo industry based on bamboo, supplemented by square bamboo, and supplemented by other bamboo species, and starts the brand of "the hometown of Chinese bamboo". The county's bamboo base has developed from 208,300 mu five years ago to 1.02 million mu at present, accounting for more than 70% of the world's bamboo resources, and the county's bamboo forest area has reached 1,165,300 mu. In 2023, the comprehensive output value of the bamboo industry will reach 2.08 billion yuan, the development of the bamboo industry will benefit 173,000 people, accounting for 72.5% of the county's rural population, 36,600 people will be lifted out of poverty, and the annual per capita income of bamboo farmers will increase by more than 4,900 yuan. In 2024, the comprehensive output value of the county's bamboo industry is expected to exceed 3 billion yuan.
Mupole Town implements the development idea of "planting bamboo in the whole area, utilizing all bamboo, and getting rich for all", and promotes organization, large-scale planting, and industrialization development, with 304,800 mu of newly planted bamboo, and more than 40 mu of bamboo farmers. In 2023, the output of bamboo shoots in the town will be more than 10,000 tons, and the demonstration base that has been put into production has an output value of more than 10,000 yuan per mu, creating a real "green bank". Spring bamboo shoots smile in the spring breeze and shower in the spring rain. In April, the 52-year-old Cheng Liangde family of Xiaoshanshu villager group in Xiangyang Village, Mupole Town, became busy, and the whole family picked more than 3,000 catties of bamboo shoots in their 50 acres of bamboo forests that had just been put into production, with an income of more than 20,000 yuan, and the income will be more after entering the bumper yield period. An industry has rushed to the future of Xiaozhu Forest, Xiaozhu Promenade, Xiaozhu Square, Xiaozhu Avenue, Xiaozhu Factory, Xiaozhu Industrial Park...... Daguan County anchored the industrial goal of "1 million acres of bamboo + woody medicinal materials", and invested more than 20 billion yuan in the past five years (poverty alleviation funds, bridging funds, east-west cooperation funds, and special government bond funds for park construction), of which more than 100 million yuan was invested in the construction of more than 700 kilometers of industrial roads in forest areas.
After the wind and rain, the harvest was reaped. Nowadays, the degree of organization of the Daguan bamboo industry continues to improve, the industrial chain continues to extend, the brand influence is increasing, and the leading role of promoting agricultural income is more prominent. The county's "leading enterprises + village collective companies + farmers + bases" development model of joint agriculture with agriculture has achieved remarkable results, cultivating and developing 18 bamboo shoot processing enterprises, 21 bamboo-related collective economic organizations, 82 professional farmer cooperatives and family farms, and 173,000 people have benefited from the bamboo industry, accounting for 72.5% of the county's rural population.

It is estimated that the use of 1 ton of bamboo can reduce deforestation by 3.9 acres and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.62 tons. Daguan County has promoted the construction of a mixed forest base of "1 million mu of bamboo + woody medicinal materials" with high quality, adhered to the parallel of biodiversity conservation and standardized and large-scale artificial cultivation of bamboo, and implemented large-scale low-quality and inefficient forest transformation, ecological restoration and greening and beautification projects of degraded bamboo forests, so as to effectively improve the forest coverage rate. At the same time, through the promotion and implementation of new technologies, new processes and new policies such as replacing plastic with bamboo, wood with bamboo, and bamboo shoots instead of grain, we will continue to expand the ways to realize the value of ecological products, and vigorously promote the green and low-carbon economy.

The green bamboo shoots keep the festival, and the doves bloom to call for peace. "Our goal is to achieve an output value of 10 billion yuan in bamboo-related industries. Although this road is relatively difficult, I believe that through the concerted efforts of the cadres and masses of the county, our Daguan County will definitely become rich because of the 'Xiao'.
