In the early autumn of Yunnan, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, everything is beautiful, the landscape is charming, and the fragrance of osmanthus is far away.

In the colorful season, the "Earth Culture Heart" ecological literature writer gathering activity, hosted by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Chinese Writers Association, undertaken by China Environment Newspaper, Yunnan Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, and supported by Yunnan Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, entered Yunnan.

In 5 days, 10 writers who are full of environmental protection enthusiasm, creative passion and literary talent walked on the banks of Dianchi Lake and learned about the change of water quality from turbid to clear in 500-mile Dianchi Lake; traced back to the source of Erhai Lake, and experienced the whole journey of Erhai Lake from the source to the downstream. Explore the hard work and dedication behind the "Qing"; visit beautiful villages, witness vivid cases of the transformation of "two mountains", and appreciate the new picture of rural revitalization; listen to the historical context, and understand how Yoyo culture promotes high-quality economic development and high-level environmental protection. force.

This time collecting wind is a real ecological trip and a green journey. The writer measures the earth with his footsteps. He not only sees the great effect of ecological civilization construction, but also enhances the awareness of ecological environmental protection, but also arouses a strong sense of responsibility in his heart. He is determined to help with literature. Ecological civilization construction, writing beautiful China.

Take the offensive line and understand the process of pollution control

When it comes to the South of Caiyun, the most representative existence is the "Pearl of the Plateau" - Dianchi Lake. It used to be the most beautiful existence in the hometown of countless Kunming people, and it was also a painful scar in the hearts of many people. "To wash rice and cook in the 1960s, to swim and wash vegetables in the 1970s, it began to deteriorate in the 1980s, and the scenery in the 1990s is no longer", vividly reproduces the portrayal of the past.

When the team first arrived in Kunming, they came to Baofeng Wetland and Dianchi Lake Protection and Management Science Center for investigation and investigation.

When he heard that "there are 35 rivers in the import, only one comes out, and Kunming has a population of 8 to 9 million, plus urban pollution, rural non-point source pollution and other factors", the head of the collection group, the former vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, the Chinese Film Huang Yazhou, vice president of the Literary Society, couldn't help but sighed that he did not expect such a long-term, complex and arduous objective rule in the governance of Dianchi Lake.

Li Xiongbin, deputy secretary-general of the Kunming Municipal People's Government, said that since the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period, Yunnan Province has taken the treatment of Dianchi Lake as the top priority of the province's social and economic development, and systematically carried out the treatment of internal pollution, the regulation of rivers entering the lake, and the After years of unremitting efforts, projects such as water diversion and water-saving agricultural and rural non-point source pollution control, ecological restoration and construction have finally greatly improved the ecological environment of Dianchi Lake.

Today, 39,500 mu of wetlands have been restored in Dianchi Lake, the biodiversity protection and natural landscape of the lakeside have been greatly improved, many birds that have disappeared for many years have returned, and the number of many rare and endangered fish species has been greatly increased.

The story of the management and protection of Erhai Lake in Dali also aroused the infinite emotion of the wind-collecting group.

Erhai Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan and the mother lake of Dali people. However, the fate of Erhai has also had twists and turns. Since the 1990s, with the economic development of the basin, population aggregation and changes in production and lifestyle, Erhai Lake was once "overshadowed" by the decline of water quality.

Faced with the severe situation, Dali has carried out a series of measures to protect Erhai Lake, implemented the cancellation of cage fish farming, comprehensively implemented the work of "three prohibitions and four promotions", and implemented the ecological management of 27 main rivers entering the lake...

Today, the precise governance of Erhai Lake has achieved phased results, and the water quality of Erhai Lake has been rated as "excellent" by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment for two consecutive years. The once-disappeared "water quality weather vane" sea cauliflower is back. The ecological corridor with a total length of 129 kilometers, built around Erhai Lake, is fully connected.

"Dali is not only a highland of natural geography, but also a highland of ecological civilization." Xu Hui, member of the National Committee of the Chinese Writers Association and chairman of the fifth presidium of the Anhui Writers Association, came to Dali for the first time and saw Dali's efforts in the construction of ecological civilization. The progress made cannot help but be praised.

The lake is clear and the waves are sound, and the songs of beautiful nostalgia, poetry and distant places, and green ecology echo between Cangshan and Erhai.

Go deep into the beautiful countryside and witness the transformation of the "two mountains"

Cangshan has no ink for a thousand years, and Erhai has no strings. Today, the clear and sparkling water of the Pearl Lake on the Plateau is inseparable from the efforts and contributions of the villagers along the coast of Erhai Lake and the upper reaches of Erhai Lake.

Gusheng Village, Wanqiao Town, Dali City is a small village by the Erhai Sea. In order to vacate land to build ecological corridors around the lake and lakeside buffer zone, and realize "people retreating into the lake", 1,806 households with 7,270 people within 15 meters of Erhai Lake implemented ecological relocation.

He Licheng, a villager of Gusheng Village, is one of them. He took the initiative to shut down his well-built inn and demolished his house twice. "Although I feel distressed and uncomfortable, I understand that only by protecting Erhai Lake can our life become better." He Licheng said.

Also making great contributions is Eryuan County, the upper reaches of Erhai Lake. As the main water source of Erhai Lake, Eryuan County has 560 large and small tributaries, accounting for about 60% of the average runoff of Erhai Lake. The changes in water quality and quantity of rivers in Eryuan have a profound impact on the water quality of the entire lake in Erhai Lake.

In order to protect the water quality at the source, Eryuan County has established a management and protection system for the Miju River.

In this regard, Eryuan County always regards source awareness as action consciousness and strives to make source contributions. Strengthen the protection and management of rivers and lakes, implement ecological management projects of 3 main rivers entering the lake and 188 kilometers of main and tributaries, establish a management and protection system for the Miju River, explore large-scale planting, and focus on promoting ecological restoration...

What is gratifying is that hard work and dedication have not only brought about changes in the ecology of Erhai Lake, but also brought real changes in life to the common people. By improving the ecological "face value" and the industrial "green value", the people along the Erhai Lake served "ecological bowls" and ate "green rice".

Today, He Licheng continues to operate the inn, and at the same time, he has contracted more than 580 acres of land in Xiagusheng Village from Yunnan Agricultural Reclamation Group Co., Ltd., under the guidance of the company, he will grow rice and rapeseed in rotation, and produce the "Erhai Fragrance" ecological rice and green rice in Gusheng Village. Agricultural products such as rapeseed oil are in short supply in the market.

Liyuan Village, Cibihu Town, Eryuan County, is a beautiful small village at the source of Erhai Lake. In order to prevent the sewage from flowing into Cibi Lake and affecting the water quality of Erhai Lake, the village invested 14.8 million yuan to build a sewage collection, treatment and reuse project. In addition to the full collection of sewage, two-stage deep purification is also carried out, and all the reclaimed water is reused to irrigate the 230 acres of dry orchards on the north side and more than 300 acres of vegetation in the surrounding mountains.

Today, this beautiful village, named after more than 7,000 ancient pear trees with an age of about 500 years, has not only fundamentally controlled the pollution into the lake, but also effectively reduced the pollution load of Chibi Lake. The rural living environment and the quality of eco-tourism promote the sustainable development of Liyuan Village. In 2020, Liyuan Village was listed as a pilot village for state-level rural revitalization, and the development of characteristic tourism has become more and more prosperous.

Li Kaiyi, Vice Chairman of Yunnan Writers Association, said with emotion, "When I walked into the misty Erhai Lake, I felt not only the changes in the scenery, but also the changes in the production and lifestyle of the local villagers due to the protection of the Erhai Lake. The Erhai Lake can trigger people's yearning for a better life, which is a new landscape."

Listen to the historical context and protect the foundation of development

In addition to the "face value" of Cangshan Erhai Lake and Fenghuaxueyue, Dali also has rich cultural connotations and profound historical background.

Three squares with one wall, four-in-five patios, and a wall courtyard with carved beams and painted buildings strung together a picture scroll looking back at a thousand years of history; simple and old objects, the sound of horse hooves, knocks a period of old time that seems to pass through. This is a traditional agricultural town that has been passed down for thousands of years and Dali Xizhou. It is also the filming location of the movie "Five Golden Flowers". Such a town is truly a paradise!"

In Xizhou, the team focused on the relationship between people and land, and experienced the development of farming and farmers' lifestyles in Xizhou since ancient times, as well as the great changes brought by the protection of traditional culture to local life.

In Jianchuan, which is known as the "Original Hometown of Bai Nationality" and "the famous state of literature", as well as the six gold-character business cards of "Nanzhao Ancient Capital, Yizu Hometown, Taoist Holy Land, Bird Road Xiongguan, Source of the Red River, and Harmony Hui Village" In Weishan, a famous historical and cultural city in China, the wind-collecting group felt the vigor brought by the government departments through the in-depth exploration of national culture, red culture, and ecological cultural resources, building a global tourism development pattern, and developing characteristic industries.

Shilong Village

Men, women and children in Shilong Village like to sing Bai tunes, so it is also called "Baiqu Village". Many singers in the village won the laurels at the Shibao Mountain Song Festival, a grand traditional festival of Bai nationality that has been passed down for thousands of years. The missing "strings".

In order to carry out the living inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in an orderly manner and help the revitalization of the village, the local government established a sound protection mechanism, established a national intangible cultural heritage stone treasure folk song festival inheritance base in the village, and encouraged the inheritors to teach the arts with apprentices, making Shilong Village a famous Folk culture demonstration village has more than 32 non-genetic inheritors from provinces, prefectures and counties.

The industrial structure of the village has also developed from the original planting and breeding industry to tourism, entrepreneurship, Chinese bee farming, Chinese herbal medicine planting, and ethnic cultural performances. Rural tourism and characteristic agricultural development go hand in hand, and the rural revitalization of Shilong Village is on the way. A fast track with continuous "hematopoietic" kinetic energy.

The same is true of the Lotus Village of Weishan Mountain. As the first town at the source of the Red River, Donglianhua Village, a famous historical and cultural village in China, has been an important post station and material distribution center on the ancient Silk Road in the south since its establishment. In recent years, the Weishan County Party Committee and County Government has successively implemented infrastructure projects such as "Village with Ethnic Minority Characteristics", "Ecological Demonstration Village of Ethnic Unity", "Famous Cultural Village Style", "Tourism Service Supporting Construction" and other infrastructure projects in the village. Ecological protection and industrial transformation are at the forefront.

In today's East Lotus Village, Tian Chengfang, roads form a network, communication is connected, drought can be irrigated, waterlogging can be drained, coupled with the profound caravan culture, a beautiful pastoral countryside picture unfolds in front of us.

"Protecting a good ecological environment is the foundation of protecting development and protecting culture." Chen Tinglang, the leader of the mining team and editor-in-chief of China Environment News, said that the construction of ecological civilization requires both hard measures and soft efforts. The development of Weishan industry is closely related to the good natural ecology, which provides fresh creative materials for writers.

Clarify the mission and responsibility, write a beautiful China

After a few days of on-site visits, the wind-collecting team deeply felt that a colorful new picture was slowly unfolding in the land of Yunling.

Tan Shufang, director of the China Prose Society and president of the Shanxi Prose Society, told reporters that he had seen many cases at the expense of the ecological environment, but Dali's ecological civilization construction made his eyes shine. He said, "As a writer, we must use literature The advantages of Dali, and tell the story of Dali's protection." According to Li Jingping, deputy director of the Reportage Committee of the Shanxi Writers Association, as a writer, you should go deep into the front line of ecological civilization construction, because "the article will always be under your feet".

This gathering not only allowed writers from outside the province to see a different Dali, but also allowed writers who have lived in Yunnan for a long time to re-understand their hometown.

"This gathering activity has brought new writing experience to me and other writers in Yunnan." Li Kaiyi said. "The wind-collecting activities have provided me with a professional perspective on ecological environmental protection, which is very inspiring to me." Ye Duoduo, vice chairman of the Yunnan Writers Association, said that in the future, she will make more literary creations from the perspective of ecological environmental protection and broaden her horizons. and creative content.

The writers have learned and harvested along the way, and have a stronger sense of identification with the construction of ecological civilization.

"The construction of ecological civilization is the theme of an era. As a writer, it is an unshirkable responsibility to join it." Hua Jing, senior editor of China Customs Media Center, said. Yang Jianyu, a second-level researcher of the Dali Culture and Tourism Bureau and chairman of the Dali Folk Artists Association, also felt the sense of responsibility of local writers in Dali through the collection activities. Li Zhihong, a member of the party group of the Dali Prefecture Federation of Literary and Art Circles and a third-level researcher, said, "We have witnessed the achievements of Erhai Lake protection. In terms of the natural beauty of the original ecology, the awareness of ecological civilization has been enhanced. In the future, we must keep the clear waters and lush mountains to enrich the beauty of Dali. ."

Wen Binglun, a visiting scholar at Peking University and a member of the Yunnan Writers Association, said, "It is the dream of every literati to live poetically. Only a beautiful environment can bring the possibility of living. Without environmental protection and the construction of ecological civilization, poetry is very possible. become empty talk."

To plant the ecological culture of the new era, and to gather strength to build an ecological civilization, the new strength is starting from the south of Caiyun, singing the song of green even louder and longer, to the depths of people's hearts.
