Hello dear readers~
Revisiting Taihu Lake: How does a world-class irrigation heritage survive today?
Recently, I had the pleasure of stepping into Wuxing District on the shore of Taihu Lake again, walking along the road around Taihu Lake, with a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. Standing on the lakeside, with the breeze blowing on my face, I seem to be able to hear the historical murmur of Taihu Lake and feel the weight of this ancient and vibrant land.
Thousands of years ago, the Taihu people excavated the harbor and drained the lake water on this tidal flat, creating new land, thus making this vast Taihu tidal flat the richest granary and silk land in China. As a world-class water conservancy and irrigation engineering heritage, Taihu Lake has witnessed the feat of working people turning silt into fertile soil.
Now, we can't help but wonder: how can this world-class irrigation heritage continue to enrich the party and write new legends today?
Break the boundaries of the village and awaken the historical genes
Ligang, this term belongs exclusively to Taihu Lake. Meandering rivers on the southern shore of Taihu Lake divide the land into patches of farmland, skillfully protecting this rich land. In a corner of the fishing village, the people of Taihu Lake used these rivers as irrigation channels, so that this land glows with the prosperity of "Su Lake is ripe, and the world is full".
When I talked to a local official, I learned that these villages were once fishing villages. However, through several renovations, the village has now taken on a new look. The "Six Villages by the Lake", located in the core area of Taihu Lake, is full of historical origins and natural scenery, and has become a bright pearl in the local area.
In this land, the boundaries between villages have been broken, and stories of teamwork continue to be staged. For example, in Yang Wei Village, local villager Lu Yingfeng created the "Yang Guizhen" Taihu Lake crab brand, which has achieved great success. Today, his business is not limited to the village, but covers the surrounding area, becoming the pride of the local area.
The ecological industry is grasped with both hands, and the various forms of the countryside are explored
Starting from small crab seedlings, after about 508 days of natural growth, batches of high-quality Taihu crabs have been brought to the tables of thousands of households by farmers. However, in 2018, the aquaculture industry in Taihu Lake faced a comprehensive rectification, and many crab farmers fell into development difficulties.
Fortunately, with the policy support of the local government, local farmers have actively transformed and created environmentally friendly crab ponds. For example, Yang Guizhen Crab Manor is a typical example. Through the introduction of purified Taihu Lake water, this crab manor has achieved zero pollution in breeding and discharge, and has become a local demonstration breeding base.
With the development of the industry, the environment of the village has also been improved. Yang Guizhen Crab Manor has not only become a local tourist attraction, but also attracts a large number of tourists to visit. The interior of the estate is also transformed into an unwalled park, where villagers enjoy the beauty of village life.
Cultural tourism blossomed, reproducing the beautiful scenery of South Taihu Lake
Recently, during the May Day holiday, a series of cultural tourism projects were opened in the villages on the banks of Taihu Lake, attracting a large number of tourists. For example, projects such as the "Burrow" tea poetry shop, Qingye camp, and empty camp have opened trial operation, adding a touch of color to local rural tourism.
These projects are not only designed to attract tourists, but also to showcase the cultural character and historical origins of the region. Cooperation between villages also opens up more possibilities for rural tourism. Taking into account the cultural characteristics of the Taihu Lake region, these projects closely follow the local tea, Hubi culture and other elements to create a series of distinctive tourism projects.
Policies help rural revitalization and lead new rural development
In recent years, the mainland has successively promulgated a series of policies to support rural development. For example, the "Strategic Plan for Rural Revitalization (2018-2022)" and the "Opinions on Promoting the Three-year Action for the Improvement of Rural Human Settlements". These policies
Taihu Lake Harbor: Historical Revisit and Present Flourishing
Taihu Lake Ligang, a term full of historical heritage, is now full of vitality. This world-class irrigation heritage has always been a topic of conversation. However, recently, on this land on the shore of Taihu Lake, there has been a new heated discussion.
Some people call it "the new wind of the port", believing that the transformation of this land is a perfect combination of modern civilization and ancient history; There are also concerns that overexploitation will destroy this valuable historical heritage. These different voices are intertwined, adding more suspense to the development of Taihu Port.
Under the tide of the new era, Taihu Lake Port is full of new vitality. The development of the village is no longer limited to traditional agriculture, but shows a new look of the countryside through various forms such as cultural tourism and ecological industry. This transformation has not only brought tangible economic benefits to the local villagers, but also brought a more colorful experience to the tourists.
However, the road to development has not been easy. In the face of many challenges such as environmental protection and cultural inheritance, the development of Taihu Port still needs more exploration and efforts. The government, enterprises, and villagers, everyone bears the responsibility and works together for the future of Taihu Ligang.
To sum up, the development of Taihu Port is exciting, but we also need to maintain rationality and attention to its development. Let us pay attention to the future of Taihu Port with an objective, fair and accurate attitude, and work together for its sustainable prosperity and development.
