On April 24, the Xiaolangdi reservoir area in the core area of the Yellow River No. 1 Highway in Mengjin District, Luoyang City was pleasant. In recent years, the district has focused on building a complex ecological corridor integrating ecological barriers, cultural promotion, leisure and tourism, and efficient agriculture, making it a powerful driving force for the high-quality development of the Yellow River.

"It is necessary to work together to promote ecological environmental protection and green and low-carbon development, and accelerate the construction of a beautiful central region. ”
——Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium on promoting the rise of the central region in the new era
Core Tips
Take the high-speed train from Henan to Jiangxi, and the scenery is warm up unconsciously. The Yellow River is magnificent and heroic, the Yangtze River is flat and wide, and what remains unchanged is the greenery of the eyes. Recently, Henan Daily jointly reported that the "rise of the central part of the country is full of new" to the "green" reporting team into Jiangxi, feel the smart water, vigorous mountains, "green" industry and life full of happiness, from the "Jiangxi model" of beautiful China to find inspiration for green development, and seek the future of sustainable development.

April 24, the ninth "China Space Day". The Shenzhou-17 astronaut crew brought a group of beautiful pictures of the motherland's rivers and mountains from 400 kilometers away from space——
The green rooster stands tall with its head held high, and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are like two ribbons entwined in between. The Yangtze River travels to Jiangxi, bringing China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, into its arms. The Jiuqu Yellow River will bend the last bend to the south of the river.
Jiangxi and Henan, two provinces that are not adjacent to each other, one south and one north, seem to have an indescribable connection because of the romance of this river.
On the one hand, it is the high-quality development concept of the Yangtze River Economic Belt of "joint protection and no large-scale development", and on the other hand, the national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.
Bibo East went to "win" the Yangtze River water together
In Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province in April, the smoke and rain always carry everything poetically.
Through the mighty smoke waves, the patrol boat came to a halt in the middle of the lake. Wang Diyou leaned out half of his body from the cabin to inspect around, and several wild cormorants suddenly swept by, and the surface of the lake rippled.
This lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and the main tributary of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Poyang Lake. It and the Yangtze River are mutually fed and interdependent.
This person was a fisherman who had accompanied the morning and dusk tides of the Yangtze River for more than 30 years, and now he "washed his feet and went ashore" and became an ecological ranger on Poyang Lake.
The lake is still this lake, and the people are still the same person, but in the past, they went out of the lake to fish, and now they are protecting fishing.
Wang Diyou can't forget the past. "In the early years, there were a lot of fish in Poyang Lake, and they could be 'fully loaded' with any net, and sometimes the fish would jump onto the boat on their own. But later, more and more people fished, but there were fewer and fewer fish, and even with the use of "electric fish" and "ecstasy", there were still very few fish caught.
In order to alleviate the decline of the Yangtze River's biological resources, the Yangtze River has implemented a 10-year fishing ban plan since January 1, 2021, and Poyang Lake has been completely banned from fishing. 68,000 fishermen in Jiangxi have retired from fishing and landed, and fishery administration and law enforcement teams have been established in Lushan, Yongxiu County, Hukou County and Duchang County.
From the fishing boat singing late to the "boat stop and people rest", what has changed is the way of life, but also the way of development.
Four years have passed, and the scene of fish and shrimp frolicking in Wang Diyou's memory has resurfaced. Water birds such as egrets and cormorants have returned, the long-lost mandarin fish have arrived, the number of swordfish has shown a gratifying growth trend, and the finless porpoise, known as the "smiling angel of the Yangtze River", often jumps and rolls on the river......
Taking advantage of this beautiful scenery all the way to the north, Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River meet at the mouth of the lake, and the waterline of "rivers and lakes" is distinct. Walking upstream along the main stream of the Yangtze River, the Jiujiang urban area emerges in front of you.
This is the only city where the Yangtze River flows through Jiangxi, and it is also the intersection of the Yangtze River, Beijing-Kowloon and Pohu Lake.
On October 10, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Jiujiang for investigation and research, climbed the Pipa Pavilion to overlook the Yangtze River, and earnestly entrusted: "We must start from the life community of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, focus on the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and protect the Yangtze River." ”
To protect the Yangtze River, the key is to "tighten" the sewage outlet into the river. There are a total of 857 Yangtze River outlets in the Jiujiang section of the Yangtze River, and on the basis of the establishment of the card, Jiujiang City has formulated a precise remediation plan, and 820 outlets have been thoroughly remediated. By the end of 2023, 10 sections of the Jiujiang section of the main stream of the Yangtze River have maintained Class II water quality for six consecutive years, and the excellent rate of water environment sections in the national examination for water environment has reached 93.8%.
The water is clear and the scenery is beautiful. Stop and look at the Yangtze River embankment in Jiujiang City, thousands of meters of slope protection form a spectacular barrier, quietly "lying" on the bank of the Yangtze River. The shoreline will be vacated and the shoreline will be beautiful, and the two banks of the Yangtze River after ecological restoration will become an urban amusement park with both natural ecology and cultural landscape. A river and clear water show a new look.
Henan, which is also on the bank of the big river, has a good scenery.
In the Yellow River Basin, we took the lead in completing the ultra-low emission transformation of enterprises in key industries such as steel and cement, and continued to promote the comprehensive treatment of sewage outlets and urban and rural sewage...... The water quality of the main stream of the Yellow River has been maintained above Class II for many years, and 500 kilometers of birds are singing and fragrant along the Yellow River Ecological Corridor; in the Mengjin section of the Yellow River Basin, the black stork, a national first-class key protected bird, and the Chinese merganser duck, the "giant panda among birds", live comfortably; and the Sanmenxia Yellow River wetland has changed from a whooper swan migration stop to a wintering ground.
The rivers that have flowed for thousands of years are nourishing the sons and daughters of China as always.
Ecological priority: Green mountains become "golden" mountains
In Wuyuan at the end of April, rape flowers have passed the best viewing period. But hidden in the deep mountains of Wuyuan, the liveliness has just begun.
"The scenery changes throughout the year, and you can experience 'autumn' all year round. Wu Xiangyang, chairman of Huangling Cultural Tourism Co., Ltd., told reporters: "Last year, the number of tourists in Huangling exceeded 2.7 million. ”
In the past ten years, from a semi-hollow village to "the most beautiful mountain village" and "Internet celebrity top stream", the leap of Huangling stems from the continuous updating of ideas.
The lack of three feet of flat ground is the biggest topographic feature of Huangling, and it is also the most important factor that once restricted its development.
"Inconvenient transportation and limited development have made many Huangling people choose to go out of the mountains and pursue a better life. Wu Xiangyang is a native of Wuyuan, recalling the past, he is full of emotion, "but for the people in the city, the ancient trees, terraces, and ancient villages here are rare ecological and cultural landscapes, and they are also valuable tourism resources." ”
The perspective of looking at the problem has changed, and the "short board" has also become the "potential board".
In 2009, with the support of the local government, a series of protective development work was carried out in Huangling: the villagers were relocated as a whole, the ancient village was transformed into a homestay, and the abandoned terraced fields were transformed into rape fields......
Over the past few years, Huangling has taken on a new look. The flowing water of the ancient village evokes the "poetry and distance" of the city people, and the "autumn" scenery created by relying on the layered topography has become a golden signboard, and the seasonal folk activities continue to extend the life cycle of tourism, and Huangling has been "fired" from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Those who had left the mountains have returned. In half a year, more than 100 homestays were built around Huangling, and the villagers had an "ecological meal" at their doorstep.
Firmly establishing the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", Jiangxi has built 10 national-level "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" practice and innovation bases, ranking fourth in the country, and 28 national ecological civilization construction demonstration zones, ranking first in the country, and the ecological advantages are constantly being transformed into development advantages.
Live up to the green mountains, live up to the green mountains. Henan, which also sits on beautiful rivers and mountains, has also walked out of the "Henan path" in the practice of exploring the transformation of the "two mountains".
Relying on high-quality ecological resources, Luanchuan has successfully transformed traditional industrial and mining areas into "net red" scenic spots such as Laojun Mountain and Chongdugou, and "Luanchuan Impression" is well-known far and wide; Based on the natural environment and the cultural and historical advantages of ancient villages, we will actively attract social capital injection, encourage farmers to invest in village collective economic cooperatives, and form a rural revitalization model of "natural resources + cultural ancient charm + rural tourism...... Ecological, economic and social benefits continue to be demonstrated.
Sustainable development, green to the future
On the bank of the Xunyang River, overlooking the railing, the green corridor is accompanied by a river and clear water to protect Jiujiang City.
Here, there is a national green factory and intelligent manufacturing benchmark enterprise - Sinopec Jiujiang Branch (hereinafter referred to as "Jiujiang Petrochemical").
"I hope that you will adhere to the green and intelligent direction in accordance with the deployment requirements of the Party Central Committee for new industrialization, be down-to-earth and forge ahead, and make new contributions to ensuring national energy security and promoting the high-quality development of the petrochemical industry. "In October 2023, when General Secretary Xi Jinping was inspecting Jiangxi, he came to Jiujiang Petrochemical and left a sincere entrustment.
Entering the factory, green and low-carbon can be felt. The whole factory area is clean and tidy, and there is no smell of oil. The water ecological landscape area created with treated industrial wastewater is rippling with clear waves and flocks of koi fish.
In-depth understanding of the integration of green transformation into development. Since 2012, Jiujiang Petrochemical has invested a total of 2.6 billion yuan to carry out environmental protection and related upgrading and transformation, and used cleaner production technology to transform traditional processes, while providing clean energy products, deep transformation and comprehensive utilization of pollutants.
At present, Jiujiang Petrochemical has a compliance rate of 100% for wastewater discharge and controlled waste gas, and a compliance disposal rate of 100% for solid waste.
In the process of development, we pay attention to ecological protection, and the traditional "black chemistry" has realized the transformation and transition to the modern petrochemical industry. In Fuliang County, Jingdezhen, the traditional ceramic industry is also glowing with new green vitality.
"Eat" into construction waste, "spit out" energy-saving building materials. In the Fuliang County Advanced Ceramics Industrial Park, the green "magic" of "turning waste into treasure" is being staged.
In the past, Fuliang County had a weak industrial base and low industrial agglomeration, and its development was relatively slow. Faced with the development requirements of the new era, Fuliang County, as a national ecological county and a national key ecological function area, decided to break through with "green".
"The ceramic industry is our strength, and in recent years, the application of ceramics in new materials has given us an opportunity for transformation. The relevant person in charge of the Fuliang County Party Committee told reporters.
With "green" as the selling point and the bottom line to carry out investment promotion, the establishment of environmental protection, industry and information technology and other departments of the joint review and approval mechanism, soon, a number of green advanced ceramic manufacturing enterprises here "settled", gathered sand into a tower, traditional industries to achieve upgrading and transformation.
Similarly, the industrial structure is heavy, the energy structure is biased towards coal, and Henan is also increasing the "green" supply chain, pressing the "acceleration button" for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
Aiming at the green and high-end development of the industry, our province has issued the implementation guidelines for the green upgrading and transformation of key industrial chains. In 2023, 355 emission reduction projects will be implemented in the province, 1,307 industrial enterprises will be transformed and upgraded by classification, 198 green factories and parks above the provincial level will be added, and the energy consumption of industrial units above the designated level will be reduced by 4.5%, and the green ecological background will continue to be polished.
Ecological priority, green development. This unchanged concept is leading Henan and Jiangxi all the way to "green", drawing a new picture of the rise of central China in the new era.
Experts from both places said
A river of clear water flows out of the Central Plains

In recent years, Henan has taken the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin as the guide, and coordinated the promotion of environmental governance, ecological construction and economic development, and the environmental quality has undergone turning points, providing a useful reference for Jiangxi, which is also located in the central part of the country.
The outstanding feature of Henan's ecological civilization construction is that based on the actual situation in the plain area, it has been systematically promoted in pollution control, ecological construction, green and low-carbon transformation of industries, and innovation of ecological product value realization mechanism, with many bright spots. In recent years, more than 20,000 industrial enterprises have been transformed and upgraded by category, and the system of "mountain management" in the middle reaches, "beach management" in the lower reaches, and "weaving nets" in water-receiving areas has been adhered to, and a modern water network with the Yellow River as the main axis and the rivers and canals on the north and south banks of the river and canal systems has been built, and 1,200 kilometers of ecological corridors along the Yellow River have been built...... Now in Henan, the quality of the ecological environment is constantly improving, and the beautiful picture of a river with clear water out of the Central Plains is slowly unfolding.
At present, the construction of ecological civilization has entered a new stage of comprehensive green transformation focusing on carbon reduction and economic and social development. Henan's industrial and transportation structure is not reasonable enough, the carbon peak time is tight, and the task is heavy, and pollution control will still face great pressure. Henan still needs to continue to adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, accelerate the construction of an ecologically strong province, and promote greater progress in the protection and governance of large rivers, mountains and plains.
We should learn from the experience of Henan's zero-waste city, the construction of beautiful rivers and lakes, the emergency management of the water environment, and the continuous remediation of scattered pollution, and make long-term contributions in the construction and protection of the ecological environment, the low-carbon transformation of industrial energy, and the innovation of the value mechanism of ecological products, so as to create a "Jiangxi model" of beautiful China with higher standards, and make the green tone and foundation of modern Jiangxi more solid.

Learning from the "Jiangxi Model" of Beautiful China
Yuan Caifeng, deputy director of Henan Provincial Ecological Environment Technology Center, □
The land area of Jiangxi is comparable to that of our province, and the topography is mainly mountainous and hilly, and the forest coverage rate is stable at 63.1%. Based on its own advantages and combined with its own characteristics, Jiangxi will build green ecology into the greatest wealth, the greatest advantage and the largest brand.
Last year, the proportion of days with good air quality in Jiangxi Province reached 96.5%, the proportion of excellent surface water quality in the national examination section reached 97%, and the average concentration of PM2.5 in the province was 29 micrograms/cubic meter, ranking first among the six provinces in the central region. It is the first batch of ecological civilization demonstration zones in the country, with a total of 10 national-level "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" practice and innovation bases, and 28 national ecological civilization construction demonstration zones, all of which remain in the "first phalanx" in the country. Focusing on comprehensive green transformation, strictly controlling the blind development of "two high" projects, and promoting carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth, the green development index has ranked first in the six central provinces for many years, and the brands such as "Ecological Poyang Lake and Green Agricultural Products" have been launched in an all-round way, and strategic emerging industries and high-tech industries have developed rapidly.
In accordance with the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping's "prospering green culture, strengthening the green economy, innovating the green system, and building a green barrier" and "building a 'Jiangxi model' for a beautiful China", the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government took the lead in formulating and releasing the "Outline of the Beautiful Jiangxi Construction Plan (2022-2035)" in the country, formulating the construction strategy of "three steps, one plan every five years", and building a "Jiangxi model" of beautiful China from eight fields.
In recent years, Henan Province has made unremitting efforts to fight the tough battle against pollution, implement the national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, ensure the safety of water sources for the South-to-North Water Diversion, and promote green and low-carbon transformation and development, and the ecological environment has continued to be stable and improving. Taking the "Beautiful Jiangxi" model as a demonstration, Henan needs to seize the strategic opportunity of the rise of the central region, promote carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth, and accelerate the formation of a new pattern of green and low-carbon, beautiful environment, livable urban and rural areas, ecological security and strong guarantee of beautiful Henan.
