The Yellow River Basin, which spans the eastern, central and western parts of China, is an important ecological security barrier, an important area for population activities and economic development, and plays an important strategic role in the overall situation of national development and socialist modernization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has visited the ecological protection and development of the Yellow River Basin for many times. With the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin rising to the national strategy, a series of important measures to scientifically promote ecological protection and high-quality development have successively landed. How to implement the new development concept in the new development stage and promote the Yellow River Basin to achieve a win-win situation of "green" and "rich" is an important topic to be explored in the practice of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
It is of great significance to realize the win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River Basin.
Protecting the Yellow River is a great plan for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is of great strategic significance to promote the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin and achieve a win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River Basin.
The important ecological security barrier in the Yellow River Basin lays a solid foundation for economic and social development. The Yellow River Basin constitutes an important ecological barrier in China, and it is an ecological corridor connecting the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Loess Plateau and the North China Plain. It has a number of national parks and national key ecological function area, such as Sanjiangyuan and Qilian Mountains. At the same time, it is also one of the regions with the largest distribution area, the most fragile ecological types and the most obvious ecological fragility in China. As an important economic zone in China, if the ecological environment problems in the Yellow River basin are not solved well, it will inevitably affect the stability and high-quality development of China’s ecological situation. Constantly consolidating the important ecological security barrier in the Yellow River Basin will lay a solid foundation for China’s economic and social development.
Achieving a win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River basin can contribute valuable experience to basin governance. Protecting the ecological environment of the Yellow River basin and promoting the high-quality economic development along the Yellow River, especially working hard to promote the win-win situation of "green" and "rich", is not only an urgent need to better coordinate the relationship between water and sediment in the Yellow River, ease the contradiction between water supply and demand, and ensure the An Lan of the Yellow River, but also a practical measure to practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept and prevent and resolve ecological security risks. In particular, in the process of promoting "green" and "rich" win-win, we will further explore new methods and new paths, give full play to the role of the market mechanism, better stimulate the vitality and creativity of market players, and contribute more valuable experiences that can be replicated and popularized for river basin governance in China.
Achieving a win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River Basin will inject new impetus into promoting regional coordinated development. The Yellow River basin is bordered by Kunlun Mountain in the west, Yinshan Mountain in the north, Qinling Mountain in the south and Bohai Sea in the east. It has been the national political, economic and cultural center for thousands of years. However, we should also see that in recent years, the Yellow River basin is ecologically fragile, water resources are in short supply, soil erosion is serious, the carrying capacity of resources and environment is weak, and the problems of unbalanced development along the Yellow River provinces are more prominent. If we can take the win-win situation of "green" and "rich" as the guide, closely combine the comparative advantages and development conditions of the Yellow River Basin, optimize and adjust the distribution of regional economy and productivity on the premise of ecological protection, promote the rational division of labor among the upper, middle and lower reaches, improve the development level of urban agglomerations and metropolitan areas along the Yellow River, consolidate the foundation of high-quality development of the basin, highlight its characteristics and enhance its driving force for high-quality development, it will help to promote regional coordinated development and further solve the problem of insufficient development imbalance.
The win-win situation of "green" and "rich" contains dialectical thinking
To better promote the Yellow River basin to achieve a win-win situation of "green" and "rich", we need to further understand the dialectical thinking contained in the win-win situation of "green" and "rich".
Overall protection and development. Relatively fragile ecology and relatively backward development are the shortcomings of the Yellow River Basin at present, and they are also two aspects of a mutually causal contradiction. If the relationship between protection and development cannot be properly handled, it will restrict the sustainable economic and social development of the Yellow River Basin. In this regard, the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary emphasized that "we should adhere to the correct view of political achievements, accurately grasp the relationship between protection and development" and "we should adhere to Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept, and adhere to ecological priority and green development", which provided guidance for promoting the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. In practice, it is necessary to unify protection and development into a coordinated development track of "green" and "rich" win-win.
Grasp the local and global. The Yellow River Basin is not only a huge ecosystem, but also a complex economic and social system. It is a systematic project to achieve a win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River Basin. We must put the concept of system into the whole process of ecological protection and high-quality development, grasp the relationship between the local and the overall situation, enhance the sense of playing chess, and focus on the overall interests on major issues. We should not only regard the watershed ecosystem as an organic whole, but also fully consider the ecological differences in the upper, middle and lower reaches, so as to adapt to local conditions; We should not only attach importance to promoting the high-quality development of the whole basin, but also highlight the comparative advantages of various places and actively explore the development path with regional characteristics; It is necessary to put ecological protection and high-quality development together in the same system, and to solve key problems in different fields.
Give consideration to both the present and the long term. It is a historic task to realize the win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River Basin. It must be noted that the current development shortcomings and weaknesses in the Yellow River Basin are the result of years of accumulation, and can never be successfully resolved in a short time. In this regard, we must grasp the relationship between the present and the long-term, take a long-term view and seriously study it, overcome the idea of quick success and quick success, and continue to advance. We should pay attention to operability and applicability, as well as continuity and stability; It is necessary to seize the day and implement it quickly, but also to persevere and make contributions for a long time; It is necessary to bear short-term pains and plan long-term interests, but also to stop losses in time and gain gains.
The Realistic Path of Promoting "Green" and "Rich" Win-Win
To promote the win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River Basin, we must be based on the objective reality and actual needs of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, and actively explore the realistic path to achieve "green" and "rich" win-win situation.
First, protect "green" with "water" and bring "wealth" with "green" The biggest contradiction in the Yellow River Basin is the shortage of water resources, and the biggest threat is the flood. In this regard, while preventing sudden floods in summer, we must also adhere to the principle of measuring water and giving priority to water conservation. It is necessary to regard water resources as the biggest rigid constraint, adhere to the principle of setting the city, land, people and production by water, optimize the ecological water use structure for production and life as a whole, use market means to force the economical and intensive use of water resources, and promote the transformation of water use mode from extensive and inefficient to economical and intensive. On the one hand, we should pay more attention to the role of market mechanism in the allocation of water resources, explore a new model of eco-economic development, and tap the economic value of water resources and water ecology; On the other hand, we should follow the laws of nature, innovate the path of water control, ensure the An Lan of the Yellow River, consolidate the water security foundation of high-quality development in the Yellow River basin, and grasp the relationship between water control and getting rich.
The second is to promote the balance of "green" and "rich" with spatial optimization. It is necessary to take urban agglomeration as the main spatial carrier and further optimize the layout of river basins. The key is to strictly observe the ecological red line, scientifically plan and develop, and form a virtuous circle in which ecology and development complement each other and promote each other, and man and nature coexist harmoniously. Specifically, we should gather high-quality factors based on ecological carrying capacity, accelerate industrialization and urbanization, deepen complementary advantages, strengthen the ecological support of ecological functional areas and major agricultural producing areas for the development zone and the support of production and living factors, and promote the coupling development of ecological protection and economic and social development in the spatial dimension. At the same time, strengthen the coordination between urban agglomerations, and gradually form a watershed ecological protection system with distinct regions, distinctive features, prominent priorities, clear responsibilities and organic unity, and actively promote the extension of ecological cooperation to economic and social development cooperation.
The third is to promote "green" and "rich" synergy with industrial development. The high-quality development of the Yellow River basin based on ecological protection needs to highlight the green background, and make the ecological industry a powerful driving force to promote the win-win situation of "green" and "rich" in the Yellow River basin. It is necessary to further improve and strengthen agriculture and animal husbandry, build a basin agricultural industrial system with green guidance, outstanding characteristics, complementary resources and sound inter-regional interest compensation mechanism, strengthen cooperation in basin agricultural science and technology, and promote the green transformation of traditional advantageous industries; It is necessary to focus on areas with strong industrial base, build a strategic emerging industry cooperation platform with effective docking of production and supply, coordinated cooperation of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industry, and close connection of the industrial chain and supply chain in innovation chain, so as to promote the upgrading of the industrial system and the reconstruction of basic capabilities; It is necessary to improve the penetration rate of industrial internet, artificial intelligence and big data into traditional industries, further promote the greening, intelligence and digitalization of advantageous manufacturing industries in the Yellow River Basin, and inject momentum into achieving a win-win situation of "green" and "rich".
