On the eve of the NPC and CPPCC National Committees, Xi Jinping once again went to Beijing to investigate and went straight to Shanxi. The two provinces visited four provinces in succession for two months. This was the most intensive trip to Beijing since the 19th National Congress of the Party. This year is a year of historical convergence where the goal of "two hundred years" is achieved. Such a time node is most obvious. At the first stop of Datong in Shanxi, the general secretary focused on how to carry forward and succeed.

Yunzhou District is located in Yanshan-Taihang Mountain, a contiguous and destitute area, where the climate is severely cold, ten years of drought, and the land is barren. It was once a typical deeply impoverished area. How to get rid of poverty? Yellow flowers, which have been planted for more than 600 years, have come into view. Yellow flowers are barren, drought-tolerant, easy to live, and have the functions of eating, processing, and viewing. In recent years, yellow flowers have become the "head of flowers" for farmers to get rid of poverty.
△ Yunzhou District is well-known as the "hometown of yellow flowers" in the country, and enters the rich harvest season around July every year.
Last month, the general secretary praised Zhashui fungus during his inspection in Shaanxi, "small fungus, big industry". In order to make small yellow flowers into a big industry, the policy of Yunzhou District is "hard core": subsidy of 500 yuan per planting of yellow flowers, the concentration of all the yellow flower plantations of more than 200 acres, all supporting water, electricity and roads. The elementary school playground and units with hardened grounds make way for the yellow flowers to dry out.

At present, the planting area of Huanghua in Yunzhou District is 170,000 mu, and the output value is 700 million yuan. By adopting the Yunzhou model, more than 15,000 poor households in Datong City got rid of poverty and became rich. "Datong Huanghua" was selected as a typical case of national industrial poverty alleviation.

At the planting base, Xi Jinping stepped into the field to observe the growth of Huanghua and had a cordial conversation with the working villagers. Xi Jinping said that Huanghua can also be made into a big industry and has a very good development prospect. It is necessary to protect and develop this industry well, so that Huanghua becomes a "cash cow" for the masses to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Xi Jinping last visited Shanxi in three years ago in June 2017. He went to Luliang Mountain and fulfilled his long-cherished wish to travel through 11 concentrated mountainous areas in the country. He also presided over a forum on tackling poverty in deep poverty areas in Taiyuan. During that inspection, he emphasized the importance of getting rid of poverty and strengthening the landing, blowing bran and seeing rice.
This time in Shanxi, 58 poverty-stricken counties in the province have all removed their hats, and the incidence of poverty has dropped to less than 0.1%. The general secretary ’s research focus also turned to understanding the work of consolidating the results of poverty alleviation. This year is the final year for a decisive victory over a comprehensive well-off society and a decisive battle against poverty. What should I do after closing? China is seeking a layout.
△ The output value of the organic yellow flower standardized planting base investigated by Xi Jinping last year was 65 million yuan, and the average income of poor households was 14,800 yuan. The staff at the base said that overcoming the impact of the epidemic this year, the output value is expected to reach 80 million yuan. (Photographed by CCTV reporter Kang Xiaoyu)

Fangcheng New Village was built in 2016 and moved in in 2018. The whole village relocated 196 households with 412 persons, including 77 households with 158 persons in poor households. After the relocation, the village will focus on the development of 540 acres of yellow flower characteristic industries, planting 660 acres of economic forest and 290 acres of small miscellaneous grains. By the end of last year, all 77 poor households in Fangcheng New Village had been lifted out of poverty.

When he visited Shanxi three years ago, Xi Jinping also visited a centralized resettlement site for poverty alleviation and relocation—Songjiagou New Village, Xulan County. The general secretary said at the time that to implement the whole village relocation, it is necessary to cope with specific problems such as where to move people, where to raise money, where to plan land, how to build houses, how to increase income, how to protect ecology, and how to manage new villages. This question is a small account of the common people and a large account of the country.

Being cautious as always, caring about the long-term plans of the folks in the future; going forward, truly letting good days flourish with sesame seeds, this is a major event Xi Jinping has always cherished. In Shaanxi last month, the general secretary said that getting rid of poverty and removing hats is not the end point, but the starting point for a new life and new struggle. Next, we must do a great article on rural revitalization. On March 27, the general secretary also proposed to hold a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to study the integration of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization strategies and the 14th Five-Year Plan.
One by one, one by one, and one by one, this is exactly the advantage of China's governance.
From Mogao Grottoes to Yungang Grottoes
Xi Jinping ’s third inspection site in Datong is the Yungang Grottoes at the southern foot of the Wuzhou (Zhou) Mountain in the west of the city. It is called the three major grottoes in China, along with the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and Luoyang Longmen Grottoes. When the General Secretary visited Gansu in August last year, his first stop was to visit the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.
△ Three major grottoes in China.
The Yungang Grottoes were excavated in the first year of peace of the Emperor Wen in the Northern Wei Dynasty (460 AD), nearly 1600 years ago. This is a royal Buddhist shrine carefully built after the Northern Wei Dynasty's capital Dingcheng (Datong), which took nearly 70 years to complete. It was included in the "World Cultural Heritage List" by UNESCO in December 2001.

Yungang Grottoes can be divided into three stages: early, middle and late according to the development of grotto shape, statue content and style. The early "Five Caves of Tanyao" (Caves 16-20) were magnificent and had a rich, simple Western flavor.
△ The picture shows Cave 16 and Cave 18. Cave 16-20 is the earliest group of caves excavated in Yungang. Because it was built by the famous monk Tan Yao, it is called the "Five Caves of Tan Yao". The five Buddhas in the five caves symbolize the five emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Yungang Grottoes in the middle period are famous for their fine carving and gorgeous decoration. Although the scale of the late cave chambers is small, the figures are thin, beautiful, and proportionate, which is the role model for the art of the grottoes in northern China and the origin of "slim bones and clear statues".

At the Yungang Grottoes, Xi Jinping walked into the cave to carefully observe the sculptures and murals, and asked in detail about the history, art style, and cultural relics protection of the cave. He said that Yungang Grottoes embodies the characteristics of Chinese culture and the history of Sino-foreign cultural exchanges. This is the jewel of human civilization. We must adhere to protection first, and make good use of research on the basis of protection. The general secretary also communicated and waved with the visitors present.
△ Caves 5 and 6 are typical caves with vast engineering and gorgeous decoration. The four-story wooden pavilion in front of the cave was built in the eighth year of Qing Shunzhi (1651). The main statue of Cave 5 is the largest Buddha in Yungang Grottoes, sitting 17 meters high. (Photographed by CCTV reporters Li Hui and Yang Bo)
In October 2018, Yungang Grottoes Research Institute and Zhejiang University cooperated to use 3D printing technology to reproduce the 12th "Music Cave". This large cave with a height of 9 meters and a width of 11 meters has been assembled and disassembled. Five standard container trucks can be transported and assembled and assembled in a week.

At Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang last year, Xi Jinping proposed to adhere to the concept of conservation priority and pass on this world cultural heritage from generation to generation. Zhang Zhuo, Dean of the Yungang Grottoes Research Institute, told The Eyes of Current Affairs that the diseases of the Yungang Grottoes mainly come from rainwater scouring and seepage from the top of the mountain. Bonding to prevent water penetration.
During an inspection in Gansu last year, Xi Jinping proposed that to study and promote Dunhuang culture, it is necessary to dig deeply into the philosophical thoughts, humanistic spirit, values, and moral standards contained in Dunhuang culture and historical relics, but also to reveal the cultural spirit of the Chinese nation contained therein. , Cultural mind, and constantly strengthen cultural self-confidence. From the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang to the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, the General Secretary visited the enlightened people on the spot: the current era is the golden age of the new glory of Chinese culture.
Don't forget the original to open up the future.
