On June 8, General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected in Yibin, Sichuan.
The Yangtze River, Jinsha River and Minjiang River meet in the main urban area of Yibin City, forming a magnificent scene of three rivers converging.
The Yangtze River has been called "Yangtze River" since then.
General Secretary Xi Jinping entrusted earnestly during his inspection at Sanjiangkou that protecting the ecological environment of the Yangtze River Basin is a prerequisite for promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and an inevitable requirement for protecting the cradle of Chinese civilization.
"Sichuan is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It is necessary to enhance the awareness of the overall situation, firmly establish the awareness of the upstream, and unswervingly implement the policy of cooperating with major protection and not engaging in major development, build a strong ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and protect this river and clear water." In this sentence, "upstream" is mentioned three times, upstream awareness, upstream responsibility, and upstream responsibility. This is a common requirement for all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
General Secretary Xi Jinping said: "I have been to Sichuan many times, and I have visited many places. The land of abundance is really a good place. Under the current background of coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, I will come here again." Risks and challenges are rising, the impact of the epidemic is superimposed, and the downward pressure on the domestic economy is increasing. However, the direction of ecological protection cannot be changed, and the intensity cannot be reduced.
Clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets.
Since 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping has conducted in-depth investigations in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and chaired four symposiums, deeply explaining the dialectical relationship and strategic considerations of "together focus on large-scale protection and not large-scale development" in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
In the past six years, the ecological environment of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has undergone a turning point change.
Jointly grasping large-scale protection not only did not affect the speed of development, but also enhanced the supporting and leading role of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in the high-quality development of the country.
In 2021, Sichuan will become the first province in the west with a GDP exceeding 5 trillion yuan.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, the GDP of the Yangtze River Economic Belt will reach 53.02 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.7%. Half of the country.
Under the intertwining of a century of changes and the epidemic of the century, China has maintained its strategic determination for green development.
The Yangtze River is the cradle of Chinese civilization.
The cradle of Chinese civilization can be well guarded only if we focus on great protection and do not engage in great development.
On November 14, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out when presiding over a symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in an all-round way, the Yangtze River has created a thousand-year-old cultural context from Bashan and Shushui to Jiangnan water towns, and is a representative symbol of the Chinese nation and a symbol of Chinese civilization. Symbols are an important source of cultivating the core values of socialism.
It is necessary to protect, inherit and promote the culture of the Yangtze River, continue the historical context, and strengthen cultural self-confidence.

The newly discovered Sanxingdui site "stuns the world again": bronze top statues, large bronze masks, golden leaves, etc., show the richness and diversity of Chinese civilization.
Almost at the same time, in the Shangshan Archaeological Site Park in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, a grain of carbonized "10,000-year-old rice" became a physical witness to the origin of the world's rice farming culture.
Protect the cultural relics and cultural heritage of the Yangtze River, conduct in-depth research on the cultural connotation of the Yangtze River, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture, and continue to advance the protection and inheritance of the Yangtze River culture.
The Yangtze River is accelerating the release of the unique light of civilization, showing the great contribution of Chinese civilization to world civilization, and the cultural charm of the Yangtze River will be continuously released.
Bearing in mind the general secretary's entrustment, we will surely protect the Yangtze River and the cradle of Chinese civilization.
