The above is as good as the heart of the water to draw a magnificent map of the country

Kunming, October 29 (Xinhuanet) -- The Jinsha River is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, 1,560 kilometers long in Yunnan, with a basin covering 7 prefectures and cities in the province. The Jinsha River is 615 kilometers long in Lijiang.

In recent years, Yunnan Province has adhered to the principle of "jointly grasping great protection and not engaging in large-scale development", and has integrated into the overall development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt by taking the road of "ecological priority and green development", and promoted the ecological and environmental protection of the Yangtze River (Yunnan section) to a new level.

In order to maintain an excellent ecological environment and build an important ecological safety barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Lijiang has taken the strength of the whole city to do a good job in water environmental protection and ensure that "a river of clean water comes out of Lijiang".

A great river is the heart of the heart

How to jointly grasp the great protection of the Yangtze River and not engage in large-scale development?

Yunnan Province adheres to the protection and improvement of the ecological service function of the Jinsha River Basin, deeply carries out the ban on fishing on the Yangtze River, and implements a 10-year ban on fishing in the key waters of the Jinsha River. In the fishing village of Junliang Village Committee of Lashi Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, villagers who once held boats to fish in LashiHai have now become "guardians" of migratory birds in Lashihai.

Since the "13th Five-Year Plan", Yunnan Province has attached great importance to the prevention and control of water pollution focusing on the nine plateau lakes, and implemented the "one lake, one regulation, one lake and one plan" for the nine plateau lakes. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the water quality of the nine plateau lakes achieved the goal of overall stability and improvement. In addition, the restoration of abandoned open-pit mines along the coast has been carried out, and sewage and garbage collection and treatment systems have been equipped along the river, and the water ecological environment has been strengthened to ensure that clean water enters the river.

Clear water flows into the river, and development must be integrated into the river. Lijiang City takes the initiative to serve and integrate into the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and fully promotes the implementation of green agriculture, green industry and eco-tourism industry, so that barren mountains can become green areas and ecology can be enriched.

In order to build the Jinsha River into a green economic belt with "ecological priority and green development" in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and build a national rural revitalization demonstration zone, Lijiang City implemented the "Six Hundred" project, built 1 million mu of high-yield and stable-yield standard farmland along the Jinsha River, implemented 100 composite photovoltaic water lifting projects, built more than 1 million mu of high-yield, high-quality and efficient agricultural demonstration bases such as mangoes, built 100 rural revitalization demonstration sites, concentrated scientific breeding of 1 million pigs, and cultivated more than 10 billion yuan of income agricultural industries.

Today, the outline of the Jinsha River Green Economic Corridor in Lijiang has been drawn, and the orange garden, pomegranate garden and mango base have covered the slopes along the river with green clothing; The Chenghai Lake Basin Ecological Comprehensive Management Water Conservancy Backbone Emergency Replenishment Project is under construction; On the shore of the first bay of the Shigu Yangtze River, tens of thousands of willow trees are lush and lush, and the beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature slowly unfolds.

Green Practice Sands is proof of this

Looking at the land of Yunling, green is becoming a distinctive background for the development of the province's industry. While fighting the three major defense battles of blue sky, clear water and pure land, Yunnan Province will closely integrate the ecological restoration along the Jinsha River with industrial adjustment to enhance the innovation ability of green industries.

"Three meals a day, every meal depends on coal", Huaping County in Lijiang City was once a key coal-producing county on the banks of the Jinsha River. In recent years, Huaping County has taken the initiative to resolve excess coal capacity, eliminate chemical production capacity, cultivate high-quality late-ripening mangoes, and build a national green organic late-ripening mango demonstration base, breaking out a virtuous circle of ecological environment restoration, environmental quality improvement and mass income increase.

The Forum on Ecological Civilization held during the first phase of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity released the practice model and typical cases of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" in Huaping County. Through the implementation of ecological restoration projects, Huaping County has developed green industries, and the county economy has been transformed from "black" to "green" and transformed into a green ecological industry county that relies on "ecological industry" to get rich.

Abandon "black" to expand "green", but also according to "green" to reach "gold". With the solid construction of the Jinsha River Green Economic Corridor in Lijiang City, clean energy-carrying industries have successively landed in Lijiang, and the Lijiang model of hydrogen energy city construction is being explored and established. At present, the first and second phases of the LONGi monocrystalline silicon rod project of the Lijiang Clean Energy Industry Support Project have been completed and put into full operation. Relevant departments at all levels in Lijiang City have promoted the construction of "green hydrogen" in Lijiang, and the tax department has also continued to play a role in taxation functions, fully implementing preferential tax policies and injecting new momentum into the development of the new energy industry. In 2020, the cumulative tax relief for the first and second phases of LONGi monocrystalline silicon rod projects exceeded 90 million yuan.

The Road to Protection Is the choice of life

For a long time, the masses of all nationalities in Lijiang have accumulated the simple concept of "harmonious coexistence" between man and nature in production and life.

Black Dragon Pond is the "mother spring" of Lijiang, and it is also the emotional dependence of countless Lijiang people. In January 2012, the black dragon pond spring water stopped flowing, touching the hearts of the people of Lijiang. To this end, Lijiang City has sealed and filled some underground deep-water wells in the dam area, reduced the amount of extracted groundwater, carried out real-time monitoring of groundwater levels and recycling of water resources in Lijiang Dam.

After the treatment of both symptoms and root causes, both inside and outside, the water environment of Lijiang has been continuously improved, the water ecology has been effectively restored, the groundwater level has risen, the Black Dragon Pond has achieved a clear spring, and the beautiful scenery has reappeared under the snowy mountains.

"I and a lot of water came out of the Black Dragon Pond at the foot of Elephant Mountain. With a grunt, he flipped over to the surface. I saw a lot of people with different looks... People were on the bridge, on the embankment, speaking different languages. In different languages, there are words that appear frequently: Lijiang, Lijiang..."

This text comes from the writer Ah Lai's essay "A Drop of Water Passes Through Lijiang", which was selected as an eighth-grade Chinese textbook in the human-taught version in early 2018, and the people of Lijiang also carved it on the jade bi standing at the entrance of the ancient city, so that tourists from all over the world can better understand the story of Lijiang and Lijiang people and water.

The beauty of Lijiang is inseparable from every drop of water, and protecting the clear water and blue sky under the snowy mountains is the original intention of the people of Lijiang, and it is also the core of the harmonious coexistence between lijiang people and nature. The protection path chosen by Lijiang, nourished by the Jinsha River, is a microcosm of Yunnan's new era development answer.

Focusing on the construction of green barriers, green development, the consolidation of ecological poverty alleviation achievements, and the development of ecological tourism, all parts of Yunnan are actively exploring the path of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the unique magnificent scenery of "a river of clear water out of Yunnan" is being presented in colorful Yunnan.
