"Outside the wall is the flood, inside the wall is the lights of thousands of homes"
This newspaper's correspondent in Zhejiang, Zhou Chuanren
▲ After the flood discharge ended in June, Jiande cultural travelers helped the dredging work.
"The city wall of Meicheng saved the people of the ancient city." "Outside the wall is the flood, inside the wall is the lights of thousands of homes, and the Meicheng Dam stands quietly guarding the ancient city."
On June 23, the Xin'anjiang Reservoir opened the flood gate to discharge floodwater, which effectively alleviated the pressure of upstream flood control and brought challenges to the cultural travelers of Jiande City. The Jiande Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports played a good "first move" in the flood season, and the cultural travelers went to the front line to interpret "the water retreats and the people advance" with practical actions.
Meicheng Town is the capital city of Yanzhou in the eleven prefectures of Zhejiang in the Ming and Qing dynasties, located at the intersection of the "three rivers" of Xin'an River, Lanjiang River and Fuchun River in the Qiantang River Basin, and is a thousand-year-old city.
"The 'city wall' praised by netizens is actually a newly built water conservancy project, and the real ancient city wall is protected in the city. Due to the limited technology used during construction, the general ancient city wall is easy to be washed away and infiltrated by floods, and is not suitable for resisting floods. According to the relevant person in charge of the Meicheng Town Cultural and Tourism Office, when the nine-hole flood discharge of the Xin'an River Reservoir in 2020, the Meicheng Dam successfully resisted the flood and realized that "the water from the outer river cannot come in, and the water in the city can be discharged". About 100 meters of the ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty was excavated during the construction of the Meicheng Dam, which is protected on the inside of the dam and has now become a popular local attraction.
"In view of the flood season and flood discharge, we uphold the principle of 'prevention first, protection first', and launch the emergency plan for flood control and Taiwan prevention of cultural relics, so as to minimize the damage to cultural relics and ensure that emergency restoration measures can be initiated as soon as possible after the flood season." The staff of the Cultural Protection Center of the Jiande Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports said.
Jiande Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports actively collaborated with relevant departments to conduct comprehensive and detailed assessment of disaster-stricken houses, investigation of potential safety hazards, and sanitizing and epidemic prevention work for buildings along the river and disaster-stricken scenic spots. As soon as the flood release announcement was issued, the Jiande Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports mobilized all staff and sent backbone forces to go to the front line to assist B&B hotels and other hotels in carrying out material transfer and personnel clearance work, and at the same time organize personnel to assist in dredging and other emergency rescue work after the flood discharge is over. "Through efficient organization and scientific scheduling, we strive to clear the obstacles for the early resumption of business of B&B hotels." The staff of the Industry Management Section of the Jiande Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports said.
Zhang Xiaoteng, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Jiande Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports, said that "water retreats and people advance", which is the embodiment of responsibility and responsibility. After this baptism of wind and rain, Jiande will, as always, welcome visitors from all over the world with the best attitude.
