Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has been concerned about the Yellow River and the people of the Yellow River Basin, and has always regarded the governance, protection and development of the Yellow River Basin as an important topic, and has systematically planned the governance of the Yellow River and the high-quality development plan of the Yellow River Basin through many in-depth investigations and investigations. From the source of the Yellow River to today's estuary, the footprints cover the nine provinces and regions along the Yellow River, benefiting tens of thousands of people along the Yellow River. Recently, at the symposium on in-depth promotion of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, he once again put forward clear requirements for the provinces and regions of the Yellow River Basin: "Set goals, be down-to-earth, immerse yourself in hard work, work hard for a long time, and make unremitting efforts for the Yellow River to benefit the Chinese nation forever!" ”
Culture is born of the Yellow River, and the nation is prosperous because of the Yellow River. The Yellow River, which has flowed for 5,000 years, through its own incubation, birth and development, has not only nourished the land of China and nurtured the people on both sides of the strait, but also shaped the temperament and disposition of the Chinese nation and the sons and daughters of China to fight bravely, fight tenaciously and strive for self-improvement, and carry the development and innovation of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years. As the mother river and the happy river that benefits the Chinese nation, the people of the Yellow River and the Yellow River Basin breathe together and share a common destiny, they have suffered too much, gone through thousands of turns, and have also jointly created Anlan and Taiping since their birth to a new era in the process of advancing with the times. Major historical events in history, such as flood control, diversion and relocation, and the defense of the Yellow River, are all full of the continuation and inheritance of this civilization and spirit. The Yellow River culture has thus become the root and soul of Chinese civilization.
"Huang Hening, the world is peaceful." Together with the Yangtze River Basin, the Yellow River Basin has formed the longest and strongest ecological corridor and ecological barrier of China's natural ecosystem, and has also become the most durable and stable important economic belt supporting China's economic and social development. Only by taking good care of, building, and developing the mother river on which we depend for our survival can we hope to return the Yellow River to Anlan and give ourselves peace, so that we can realize, maintain, and develop well the fundamental interests of the people in the Yellow River Basin, and can we lay a good ecological foundation for high-quality development. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that along the Yellow River, provinces and regions should implement the ecological protection and high-quality development strategy deployment of the Yellow River Basin, and unswervingly take the modernization path of ecological priority and green development. Therefore, jointly grasping the great protection and coordinating the promotion of the great governance is the most urgent task of the current governance of the Yellow River, and it is also a thousand-year plan to benefit the country and the people, especially to promote the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin.
The governance of the Yellow River focuses on protection and governance. "Yu Zhi's decision is also due to water as a teacher." Only when governance is good and governance is followed can governance be effective. All things have life, and the Yellow River is no exception. For a long time, the Yellow River has had many problems in the objective aspect. Weak and sickly, frequent floods, prominent contradictions between water and sand, and occasional floods and droughts. But what needs to be more vigilant is the day after tomorrow's loss of nourishment, and even the occurrence of man-made destruction. General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointed to the root cause of the ecological problems of the Yellow River: "The appearance is in the Yellow River, and the roots are in the river basin." "Blindly indiscriminately developing and utilizing is not only a damage to the ecological environment, but also an infringement on human civilization, and in the final analysis, it is irresponsible to history, the people, and the Chinese nation." Only by respecting nature, conforming to nature, protecting nature, adhering to the concept of green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, working raising and working ecological protection, can we build a community of life in shanshui lintian lake, and can we build an ecological home and spiritual home where people and nature coexist in harmony.
Writing a good article on the protection of the Yellow River and doing a good job in the systematic project of the development of the Yellow River is by no means a one-sided effort or a day's work. The Yellow River, which flows through more than 5,000 kilometers and has a basin area of more than 700,000 square kilometers, has different characteristics of its upper, middle and lower reaches of the basin system, resulting in different priorities for the management and protection of the Yellow River. We must adhere to the system view, uphold the new development concept, make overall plans and continue to advance, and handle the relationship between governance, protection and development, so as to build a new development pattern in the Yellow River Basin. It is necessary to guard a section of canal and plant a good responsibility field, and it is also necessary to build a scientific and efficient coordination and linkage mechanism; it is necessary to first do a good job in governance and protection, and it is also necessary to seek opportunities and benefits for development under the premise of scientific and rational use; it is necessary to anchor the present, immerse oneself in hard work, lay a good foundation, and also need to plan forward-looking, continue to struggle, and make long-term achievements.
The Mother River is rushing endlessly, and the Chinese civilization is endless. Protecting the Yellow River is related to the great rejuvenation and sustainable development of the Chinese nation and the well-being of the people. To ensure the peace and tranquility of the Yellow River and make the Mother River always healthy, every Chinese son and daughter has the unshirkable responsibility. (Editor-in-charge: Wang Xin)
