Following the heavy trust of General Secretary Xi Jinping, the sonorous footsteps of the new era have left a series of footprints of running and chasing dreams, leaving a piece of vitality. From Dongping to the far side of the yellow river, close to the brilliant civilization, an ancient and vibrant Yellow River came to us.
Here, meet the majestic Yellow River
The Dongping section of the Yellow River enters from Daimiao Town, flows through Yinshan Town, Banjiudian Town, and exits Jiuxian Township, with a total length of 36.3 kilometers. Surrounded by mountains, Dongping Lake, a bright pearl of the Yellow River culture, with a perennial water surface of 209 square kilometers, is the Dayoze in the "Book of Shang", the Liangshan Po in the "Water Margin", the second largest freshwater lake in Shandong Province, the only important flood storage area in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the national south-to-north water diversion project diversion hub, the Strategic Hub for the resumption of navigation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and an important water source in the future Beijing-Tianjin area and Xiong'an New Area. Ancient and modern have since met, and civilizations have coexisted here.
Dongping Lake is distributed with three out-of-lake sluice gates, Chen Shankou out-of-lake sluice, Qinghemen out-of-lake sluice and Pangkou anti-pour irrigation sluice, Dongping Lake water from the out-of-lake sluice through the out-of-lake channel out of the Lake outlet gate and the Yellow River confluence, clear lake water and turbid river water form a "clear and clear" landscape.
The water of the Yellow River rises from heaven. The Dongping section of the Yellow River belongs to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the riverbed is several meters above the ground, the slope is slow, and it is a veritable above-ground hanging river.
A large river with wide waves. The widest part of the river is about 5.5 kilometers, the narrowest point is about 1.4 kilometers, the river surface is wide, majestic, and rich in hydraulic resources. Shiwa Lock, known as the "First Gate of the Yellow River in Shandong", a total of 49 holes, is the only gate into the Lake of the Yellow River to the East Ping Lake New Lake, in the north of the Shiwa Gate there is a leisure park covering an area of about 9,000 square meters, the park has lawns, boulders, corridors, pavilions, standing at the head of the dam, you can overlook the Yellow River, dry water period, the river is quiet and flat, like a mirror; the abundant water period, especially during the annual water diversion and sand transfer period, turbid waves roll and whirlpools are swirling.
The magnificent and unique geological form is all in the land of Dongping. The Yellow River in the northwest is meandering, like a giant mang, if the long dragon, the scenery of the great river is vast and magnificent, the peaks of the mountains are stacked, surrounded by the water of the Yangyang Lake; the hills of the eastern mountains are connected with the Taishan Mountain System, and the cultural landscapes such as ancient ruins, ancient tombs, ancient buildings, stone carvings, and cliffs are scattered among them, making people linger.
Here, meet the yellow river with its brilliant culture
A long history has bred a rich culture. The ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin have risen to the national strategy, and it is urgent to protect, inherit and carry forward the Yellow River culture.
For 5,000 years, the culture and civilization of the ancient Yellow River and the present-day Yellow River have a history to learn from, and legend has it that 4,000 years ago, the great Yu Zhishui divided the territory of the whole country into Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yongjiu Prefectures according to administrative regions, while the key areas of water control were in Yanzhou, and most of the area of Dongping Lake belonged to Yanzhou in ancient times. Yu used the method of channeling to excavate the large rivers in Kyushu to the sea, dredging ditches and rivers, which lasted 13 years and the water fell out of the ground. It can be seen that in history, the area around Dongping Lake is one of the areas with earlier water control activities.
Jishui, known as Jidu in ancient times, is the main channel that distributes the water of the Yellow River, and is one of the four rivers of "River, Huai, River and Ji" in ancient times. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Water of the Yellow River was discharged into the chasm of Henan Province, and flowed east to Yuanwu and was divided into two branches, Nanji and Northern Ji, both belonging to Ohnozawa. After the Jishui flows out of Ōnozawa, it flows northeast through Yuncheng to Ansan, where it joins the Daqing River (Jishui Underwater). After the Yellow River broke through in 1855, the North Moved to seize the Daqing River into the sea, which is today's Yellow River. Dongping Lake brings together Ji and Wen and accepts the water of the Yellow River, creating a lake and becoming an important symbol of the Yellow River culture.
Historically, Dongping Lake was once an important place for commerce and transportation, and Dongping City was a country, a county, a road, a province, and a state. From the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty to the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty, as the central city of the Grand Canal, the economic and social development was at its peak, and the famous Italian traveler and merchant Marco Polo praised Dongping as "a majestic metropolis". Dongping Classics in the Han Dynasty, Dongping Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, and Dongping Fuxue in the Yuan Dynasty have all become leading academic circles and literary fashions in China.
One side of the land, with a long tradition of civilization, has bred a party of people. Dongping gathered Su Shi, Sima Guang, Xin Shuyi, Wen Tianxiang, Yuan Haowen, Wang Shizhen and other talents; gave birth to the female politician Zhong Lichun during the Warring States period, Liu Zhen, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", An Daoyi, the head of the four great monks and calligraphers in Northern Qi, known as the "originator of the big character and the ancestor of the list of books", Cheng Yaojin, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, Liang Shi, Liang Zimei, the "father and son" Liang Hao and Liang Gu, the "father and son ancestor" of the Song Dynasty, Qian Yi, a medical scientist of the Song Dynasty, and Liang Kai, a famous painter of the Southern Song Dynasty, the "originator of Chinese stick figure painting" Guo Maoqian, a master of ritual music in the Song Dynasty, Gao Wenxiu, a great dramatist known as "Xiaoguan Hanqing" in the Yuan Dynasty, Luo Guanzhong, author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", Wang Zhen, author of the Ming Dynasty's "Book of Agriculture", and Lü Yanzhi, designer of the Zhongshan Mausoleum in Nanjing during the Republic of China, and other outstanding figures in the history of Biao Qingshi.
The rivers that flow through the area of Dongping Lake, such as the Yellow River, Wenshui, and Gujishui, are the oldest natural water systems in China. Human beings have a long history of water control in this area, accumulated rich experience in water control, left many water projects, and the water cultural heritage is very rich. Mother River selflessly raised her children and grandchildren, leaving a rich cultural imprint on future generations, which has long been integrated into the lives of generations of Dongping people.
However, the unruly character of the mother river has also brought countless disasters to her children, and the natural flood detention area formed by dongping lake and nawen water in the east and the Yellow River in the west must be a lake with many disasters and difficulties. The folk song "Dongping Prefecture, Ten Years Nine No Harvest, Harvest One Harvest, Eat Kyushu" clearly sings about her wealth and barrenness.
For more than half a century, the party and the government have led the people to govern the Yellow River and Dongping Lake, and have made great achievements, and the wise water control ideas and water control art of generations of Yellow River administrators have converged into an irreplaceable cultural heritage, so that Dongping Lake has gradually become a beautiful and rich "land of fish and rice" on the land of Shandong, and has shouldered the heavy responsibility of adhering to the Anlan of the Yellow River, which is the glorious mission entrusted by history to this ancient water area.
Here, meet the vast and inclusive Yellow River
At present, the Dongping section of the Yellow River and Dongping Lake are ushering in the most beautiful season: above the lake surface of colorful colors, flocks of birds pass by from time to time. In the meantime, the figure of the blue-headed diving duck, a critically endangered species known as the "bird giant panda", has high requirements for water quality and the surrounding ecological environment, and the current global number is less than 1,000, while the observable number of Dongping Lake has reached more than 300. An ecological picture of beautiful mountains and clear waters, forests and waters, forest and field protection, and harmonious coexistence between man and nature is slowly unfolding in Dongping.
The Wolf's Nest Mountain Mining Area in jiuxian Township, the abandoned mine that was once full of devastation, has been re-dressed in green clothing and has become the "back garden" of the masses, and biodiversity conservation has made more birds and animals in the mountains. This is a microcosm of dongping county's implementation of the shanshui lintian lake grass ecological protection and restoration project, and it is also a vivid practice of practicing Xi Jinping Thought on ecological civilization and implementing the "Regulations on the Protection of Dongping Lake in Shandong Province".
Behind the beautiful scenery is a hard battle for the comprehensive improvement of the environment of Dongping Lake.
"Walking in the forefront and comprehensively pioneering" means a special mission; "keen on reform, dare to create a new road", calling for special responsibility. With these hopes and entrustments, in the rolling tide of reform and development in the new era, Dongping people have worked hard and made continuous breakthroughs, imprinted the concept that green water and green mountains are Jinshan Yinshan in their minds and implemented in action, and in accordance with the strategic deployment of "ecological county, industrial rejuvenation county, and green development", coordinated the governance of the landscape, forest, field, lake and grass system, launched the action of purifying the lake with an iron fist, the "action to control chaos" along the lake, and the comprehensive improvement of the ecological environment of Dongping Lake; and established the Dongping Lake Wetland Protection and Management Leading Group to build towns, districts, and districts. The three-level responsibility network of the village has formed a wetland protection and management mechanism of "party committee and government leadership, departmental division of labor, and general participation of society", and carried out normal protection and management of Dongping Lake; set up the office of the leading group for the ecological protection and restoration project of shanshui lintian lake grass in the taishan area of the county, focusing on the construction of the large ecological belt of Dongping Lake, coordinating and comprehensively promoting, planning and implementing 18 large projects and 61 sub-projects from the aspects of mine environmental governance, water ecological environment governance and ecosystem protection, with an estimated investment of 3.229 billion yuan. At the same time, the transformation of new and old kinetic energy in Dongping County has taken off in an all-round way, key tasks such as rural revitalization have been vigorously and orderly and effectively promoted, high-quality development has taken solid steps, and the morale of the whole county is high and the motivation is sufficient.
As a bright pearl on the Yellow River. Nowadays, the pearl of Dongping Lake is more and more dazzling, and it has maintained class III water quality all year round, and the local waters have reached class II water quality.
Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become its big; the river and the sea do not choose the thin flow, so it can be deep. Dongping County will resolutely implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, keep in mind the "great power of the country", put the ecological protection of the Yellow River Basin in an overwhelming position, integrate ecological protection and high-quality development, implement the "Regulations on the Protection of Dongping Lake in Shandong Province" in accordance with the concept of restoration and overall protection of the landscape, forest, field, lake and grass system restoration, promote the ecological improvement and restoration of the Yellow River, strengthen the comprehensive improvement of the river basin environment, improve the market-oriented diversified ecological compensation mechanism, and return farmland to wetness. Returning to the forest is still wet, gradually restoring the 20,000-mu national wetland park of Dongping Lake, striving to do a good job in the ecological restoration and protection of landscapes, forests, fields and lakes, and turning "a lake and clear water" into a bright "golden signboard" in Dongping. At the same time, we should firmly establish the people-centered development concept, do a solid job in all aspects of flood prevention, accelerate the promotion of key projects such as the reinforcement of jinshan dam, dredging and expansion, and flood discharge channels, improve the ability of "flood storage during the flood season and water conservation in the dry season", safeguard the safety of people's lives and property, and contribute to "making the Yellow River a happy river that benefits the people".
