The water of the Yellow River came from the sky and rushed to the sea without returning. The source of the Yellow River is in Yuegu Zongliequ, Guoyang Village, Guoyang Village, Maduo Township, Qumalai County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, at the northern foot of the Bayan Har Mountains. The gurgling spring gushes out of a trickle and enters Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake. All the way to the east, they gather into a roaring river, nurturing civilization and nourishing China.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium on ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin that protecting the Yellow River is related to the great rejuvenation and sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, like the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, are major national strategies.

"The Yellow River is peaceful and the world is peaceful". The Yellow River is important and its source is the most important thing.

As the source of the Yellow River, Yushu has carefully studied and understood General Secretary Xi Jinping’s major requirements for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, and bravely assumed the main responsibility for the ecological protection and construction of the Three-River Source, focusing on solving the fragile ecological environment and weak infrastructure of the Yellow River source and basin. , People’s livelihood improvement tasks are arduous, regional development is not balanced, and other practical problems. In protecting the ecological barrier, ensure that a river of clear water flows eastward. In the fight against poverty, explore new ways of high-quality development with regional characteristics and work together. Seize the strategic opportunity in the protection and coordinated promotion of large-scale governance to realize the beautiful vision of "green gratitude, ecological service to the country".

Calculate the "big account" of sustainable development and unify protection and development

In 2016, the pilot system of the Three Rivers Source National Park was launched. The “first at the source of the Yellow River” Geqiu’s pasture was included in the core area of the source of the Yellow River. Cattle and sheep could no longer graze on their pastures. The government provided them with subsidies for grazing prohibition. The family’s 70 cows were all handed over to the grazing point of the cooperative outside the no-grazing area. At the same time, Geqiu became an ecological guardian, with a fixed salary of 1,800 yuan a month, and guarding the natural environment at the source of the Yellow River at an altitude of 4650 meters every day.

The Baidigou and Dachang gold mines in Qumalai County, the first county of the source of the Yellow River, resulted in extensive destruction of pastures due to the massive mining of placer gold in the 1980s and 1990s, and serious soil erosion. In recent years, efforts have been made to comprehensively restore ecological restoration. Now the barrier lakes in the two regions have disappeared and their green vitality has been restored. The historical problems have been completely resolved, and the Yellow River ecosystem and water resources security have been protected.

Thanks to the pilot construction of the Sanjiangyuan National Park system, the first and second phases of the ecological protection and construction of the Sanjiangyuan Park, and the ecological treatment project at the source of the Yellow River, the source of the Yellow River and its branch basins are guaranteed by advanced technology and the strictest institutional measures. The degradation of the ecosystem has been initially curbed, the ecological functions of water conservation have been restored, and the amount of water conservation per unit area has continued to increase. Today's Yogu Zonglie Basin, flowers and plants are more luxuriant than before. Hundreds of clear springs are scattered throughout the grassland. The water source is abundant and clean. The cheerful streams converge into a river and flow freely.

To shoulder the responsibility of the source, we must do a good job in the Yellow River Basin water resources, water ecology, and water environment. In order to control water, the mountains must be governed, and the mountains must be governed by grass. Yushu actively implements the new development concept, firmly establishes the "landscape, forest, field, lake and grass" system of management thinking, and regards the protection of natural grasslands and forest areas as the top priority, and the development of ecological animal husbandry has effectively reduced the grassland The carrying capacity of livestock, the implementation of irrigation projects and seedling base projects, the momentum of grassland degradation and desertification have been controlled, the coverage of grassland vegetation has increased, and the wetland structure of the watershed has been protected, which in turn has a beneficial impact on the biodiversity of the watershed.

Handling the relationship between people and water is to grasp the "niubi nose" of the Yellow River Basin governance and protection. Yushu will use water to determine the city, water to determine the land, water to determine people, and water to determine the production of water as the purpose of water governance. The whole state will implement the river chief system. Established a total of 456 river chiefs at four levels: prefecture, county, township, and village to take active actions to win the "clear water" defense. The water quality of all drinking water sources in the prefecture is above Class III, and the water quality compliance rate is 100%.

Nowadays, the concept of water ecological civilization is more deeply rooted in the awareness of ecological protection of the local people, promoting the protection of the ecological system of the Three Rivers Region, and supporting the sustainable development of the regional economy and society.

Cultivate characteristic and advantageous industries, explore new paths for river basin development

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that all regions along the Yellow River should proceed from reality, and that water is suitable for water, mountains are suitable for mountains, grain is suitable for grain, agriculture is suitable for agriculture, industry is suitable for work, and business is suitable for business. A new way of quality development.

Qumalai County, at the source of the Yellow River, is a pure animal husbandry county and an important ecological land. Traditional animal husbandry can no longer meet the basic production and living needs of herders. Only by breaking this phenomenon and developing secondary and tertiary industries can we get rid of poverty and become rich. Sustainable development of local economy and society.

Therefore, Qumalai County is based on local characteristic resources, actively cultivates and develops characteristic industries, and accelerates the transformation of resource advantages into economic advantages.

Establish a new layout for the development of the "4321" animal husbandry industry, establish an ecological animal husbandry cooperative, four basic production and operation methods, three industrial guarantee measures, and two industrial supporting projects go hand in hand to achieve a "comprehensive well-off" goal, and development with ecology as the priority The characteristic animal husbandry industry of Qumalai is moving towards modernization, scale and even branding, which is conducive to returning grazing to grassland to protect the ecology of the Yellow River Basin, and at the same time to increase the income of herders. Qumarlai has explored a source characteristic industry development model with a virtuous cycle of ecology, production and life;

Invested in the establishment of a business guidance service center for farmers and herdsmen in Qumalai County, which integrates various trainings including thangka, hairdressing, nail art, clothing, loaders, excavators, auto repair, goldsmiths, cooking, decoration and decoration, etc. The new economic growth point of the county;

The 26 MW village-level photovoltaic poverty alleviation power station in Changjiang Village, Yuegai Town, realized grid-connected power generation. The model of "self-generated and self-used, surplus electricity connected to the grid" saved electricity bills and increased people's income;

Heating renovation and clean heating systems have also entered the homes of all residents in towns and counties to promote economic development and transformation, so that generations of nomads can lead an intelligent, modern and high-quality life, and effectively reduce the emission of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Achieve the ideal state of "grassland beauty, family beauty, life beauty, and industry beauty"...

Today, ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin have become a national strategy, and Yushu has ushered in more development opportunities.

Inherit the culture of the source of the Yellow River and gather the power of the times

The Yellow River not only gave birth to life, but also the origin of civilization. Protecting the Yellow River culture means protecting the roots and soul of the Chinese nation, continuing the historical context, strengthening cultural self-confidence, and uniting people of all ethnic groups to gather spiritual strength to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

As the source of the Yellow River, Yushu Prefecture has left a wealth of intangible cultural heritage in the long history. The river culture is very profound. Yushu is also actively exploring the broad connotation and value of the times, telling the story of Yushu, and enhancing the source of the river culture. Vitality, communication and influence.

In recent years, with the development of tourism, Yushu has carried out a number of important cultural activities for wading, including the "Three Rivers Source Water Cultural Festival" and the theme of "Drinking Yellow River Water and Building a Chinese Dream" as the theme of the Yellow River Traveling Ecology Humanities exchange activities, etc., three-dimensionally display the natural environment, human history and new changes in the production and life of the people in Heyuan in the new era, and raise the public's attention to the source of the Yellow River.

In January 2017, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism approved the establishment of a Tibetan cultural (Yushu) ecological protection experimental zone in Yushu Prefecture, actively promoting the overall protection of intangible cultural heritage, and protecting and inheriting the local colorful oral traditions, folk songs and dances, Folk arts, traditional fine arts, folk festivals, and epic culture deepen the sense of Chinese national identity, and strengthen the spiritual force for the new era.

Jiuqu Yellow River is a love, and the green forests on both sides of the river are clear in four seasons.

Today, along the banks of the Yellow River, mountains, grasslands, rivers and lakes are interlaced, rows of Tibetan houses, neat and clean streets, vividly depict a picture of "a river flowing eastward" and "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver". The beautiful picture scroll of "mountain" tells the belief that the Yellow River will always be a river of happiness for the Chinese nation.
