Safe and auspicious.
In midsummer, Anji Yucun has green mountains and blue waters.
"Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", at the entrance of the village, stands on the high stone tablet, and 10 red characters are still striking, welcoming visitors from all directions.
Visiting Yucun again, among the green mountains and green rivers, the scene 18 years ago is vivid.
"We used to talk about both green mountains and green hills and Jinshan Yinshan. In fact, Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."
As an accompanying reporter of the then Supreme Leader of the Provincial Party Committee, I followed the Supreme Leader to Yucun for investigation, and had the honor to listen to the elaboration of the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".
A grass-roots investigation, which is the theme of democracy and the rule of law, has become a milestone in China’s ecological civilization and economic and social construction, and Zhejiang’s ecological civilization construction has also opened a new chapter from Yucun.
Eighteen years later, in August, along the clear Yucun River, Lotus Mountain drifted and laughed all over the valley, and tourists from farmhouses and homestays were crowded. The originally lazy summer was lined with vitality.
Scenes are the most vivid interpretation of the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" in rural practice.

The years have passed. Green is stirring the surging power of Zhijiang’s ecological civilization. Looking back, August 15th, 2005, is destined to go down in history.
Walking into the former site of the village committee, on the west side of the second floor, there is a simple conference room of about ten square meters, with a round table and wooden chairs for ten people in the center, and a row of open steel folding chairs on each side, which still retains the appearance of 18 years ago.
The hourglass of memory is like the tide gushing out instantly — —
That afternoon, Yucun, at the crossroads of transformation, welcomed the supreme leader comrade.
In the narrow conference room, the supreme leader comrades sat down and talked with everyone.
"The grassroots comrades in the village and town will talk first and speak freely, and the comrades in the county can supplement them." The supreme leader comrade forgot to wipe the sweat, so Bao Xinmin, then secretary of the Party branch of Yucun, spoke first.
Bao Xinmin didn’t expect the secretary of the provincial party committee to be so easy-going, and his tense nerves immediately relaxed. He began to introduce the construction of democracy and the rule of law in Yucun and report on the economic development of Yucun.
"The village has just closed the mine and cement plant and started to re-green and re-cultivate." When Bao Xinmin said this, the Supreme Leader immediately asked with concern: "What will the villagers’ income depend on in the future?"
The high wind of economic development has blown this land, and it has also raised a lot of smoke and dust. Once Yucun, how rich it was, how painful it was.
Since the 1970s and 1980s, Yucun people have been mining, quarrying and running cement plants, but their pockets are bulging, but the air is poor, the bamboo forest is yellow and the bamboo shoots are small. The villagers are afraid to open the window, have nowhere to dry their clothes, and even worry that their family members who go out to mine may never come back … …
"In the past year, the village collective economic income of several million yuan was only 200,000 yuan, and the villagers had nowhere to work." Bao Xinmin’s voice is a little low, and he seems a little embarrassed. "We are also trying to find a way. Several families in the village have also run farmhouses, and their income is not bad. It seems that in the future, they will rely on eco-tourism and farmhouses to eat green hills."
"This is a brilliant move." Hearing this, the supreme leader comrade said.
"Since to ‘ Ecological county ’ Always do something and don’t do something, not everything. Don’t promote economic growth at the expense of the environment, because such growth is not development. On the other hand, in order to leave the best and most precious things for us, we have to do something, or even sacrifice some growth rates, that is, we have to give up some high-energy industries that seriously pollute the environment … … Be sure not to think about taking the old road and being obsessed with the development model of the past. " The supreme leader comrade impromptu said these words to the comrades present, "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. In the past, we talked about both green mountains and green hills and Jinshan Yinshan. In fact, Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. "
Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets! Refreshing and philosophical.
This statement, which I wrote in the interview book, was even remembered in my heart, and it also profoundly influenced the development of Zhejiang and even China.
"Don’t take the environment as the cost" is the historical responsibility of "the country is the biggest" and is also a profound reflection on the law of economic and social development.
Nine days later, the supreme leader comrade published the article "Green Mountains and Green Mountains are also Jinshan Yinshan" in the column of "Zhijiang Xinyu" in Zhejiang Daily, pointing out that "if these ecological environment advantages can be transformed into eco-economic advantages such as eco-agriculture, eco-industry and eco-tourism, then green mountains and green mountains will become Jinshan Yinshan".
In March 2006, the Supreme Leader wrote an article in the column "Zhijiang Xinyu", explaining the three stages of people’s understanding of the relationship between green mountains and green hills and Jinshan Yinshan: the first stage is to exchange green mountains and green hills for Jinshan Yinshan; The second stage is to have Jinshan Yinshan, but also to keep the green mountains and green hills; The third stage is to realize that green mountains and green hills can bring Jinshan Yinshan continuously, and green mountains and green hills themselves are Jinshan Yinshan.
What kind of development path should we take? What kind of development do you pursue?
Economic development and environmental protection are unified, and ecological advantages are transformed into economic advantages. Explanations in simple terms explain the truth and point out the direction again and again.

For the present, for the eternal.
No great idea is born out of thin air, let alone out of thin air.
The concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" was formally put forward in Anji, which embodies the painstaking efforts of the supreme leader comrades in extensive and in-depth investigation and research, is based on the profound understanding of the situation in Zhejiang Province and the thoughtful ideological achievements, and is full of the ideological glory of materialist dialectics.
In the 21st century, with the rapid development of reform and opening up, Zhejiang’s total economic output has leapt to the forefront of the country, but the environmental pressure brought by extensive development cannot be ignored.
How does ecological advantage become economic advantage?
In October, 2002, soon after the Supreme Leader arrived in Zhejiang, he started intensive research and began to plan the construction of an ecological province.
I still remember that he arranged research every week. Just over two months after he took office, he visited all 11 prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang Province, and in the following year, his footprint spread all over 90 counties (cities, districts) in the province.
One mountain, one water, one branch and one leaf, I am worried about my heart and I am here. Set out against the morning sun, return home in the night, and seek the "source of living water" with insight.
As early as November 25, 2002, the supreme leader comrade said in the investigation of Lishui Jingning: "‘ Lishui ’ The original meaning of "green hills and beautiful scenery" means that your ecological advantage is obvious. This advantage must be protected. Don’t exchange some economic benefits at the expense of the environment, otherwise you will definitely regret it. "
More than a month later, in Quzhou, a mountainous city, the supreme leader earnestly exhorted that "Quzhou has ecological advantages and advantages of traditional agricultural products" and "we should adhere to the green orientation and develop ecological agriculture".
Grass-roots investigation and in-depth study again and again are deeply concerned about the people’s beautiful living environment and attach great importance to the ecological environment and strategic foresight.
Ecological prosperity leads to civilized prosperity, while ecological decline leads to civilized decline.
From the "Eighth Five-Year Strategy", it is put forward that "Zhejiang should further develop its ecological advantages, create an ecological province, and build a ‘ Green Zhejiang ’ " As mentioned in the column "Zhijiang Xinyu" entitled "Achieving a win-win situation for economic development and ecological construction", the construction of an ecological province is to pursue the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, that is, to achieve a win-win situation for economic development and ecological construction … …
According to the blueprint for the construction of an ecological province drawn by the supreme leader, Zhejiang took the lead in opening the Chinese-style modern provincial practice of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and took the lead in exploring a green and high-quality development path.
"Yucun’s achievements now prove that the path of green development is correct, and we must stick to it if we choose the right path." After a lapse of 15 years, on March 30, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said emotionally when he revisited Yucun.
The sky is drizzling and the village is covered with green. Along the greenway, the appearance of the village in front of us made the Supreme Leader General Secretary sigh with emotion, "This time it is completely different. The construction of beautiful countryside in Yucun has become a reality … …”
This is a green answer sheet that practices the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", and it is also a happy answer sheet written into people’s hearts.
In the past 18 years, five village party secretaries in Yucun have been working one after another, striding forward according to the road guided by the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets".
"At that time, I was fortunate enough to participate in the discussion and sat in the back row." Pan Wenge, who later served as secretary of the Party branch of Yucun, was a member of the "two committees" of the village. While recalling the visit of the Supreme Leader to Yucun on August 15th, 2005, he looked through his diary.
On that day, Pan Wenge recorded three pages in his diary. It can be said that this diary also witnessed the whole process of putting forward the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". "Yucun in transition feels unprecedented ‘ The pain of cutting the skin ’ But the words of the supreme leader comrade made us suddenly enlightened and changed the fate of Yucun! " Pan Wenge said.
Time flies, mountains and rivers take on a new look. In the past, Yucun "the mountain was bald and the water became soy sauce soup", but now "people walking in Yucun are Traveling in a pictorial world".
Wang Yucheng, the current party branch secretary of Yucun, is a native of Yucun. He was less than 20 years old after 1985, but "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" took root in his heart very early.
"In the past 18 years, in accordance with the direction of the General Secretary, we have unswervingly changed the mountain to eat mountains." Wang Yucheng said that the village set up a "two mountains" tourism company, built a mine ruins park, and read the "Mountain Word Classic". In 2022, the collective economic income of Yucun Village reached 13.05 million yuan, and the per capita income of villagers reached 64,863 yuan.
The concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" conforms to the people’s expectations for a better life, and bears the deep feelings of "all for the people".

The long river of history flows endlessly, and the great power of thought leads the voyage.
Make green mountains and green hills more beautiful and Jinshan Yinshan bigger! Earnestly entrust, into firm action, one after another "village" in the butterfly.
People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people.
Ecological beauty, strong economy and rich people! A modern version of "Fuchun Shan Jutu" is slowly unfolding in the land of Zhejiang — —
By the end of 2022, the coverage rate of beautiful countryside in Zhejiang has reached 93%, and 42 national demonstration zones for ecological civilization construction and 12 "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" practice and innovation bases have been established, ranking first in the country. There are 36 county-level two-mountain cooperatives, with 111 development projects, which have led to over 1,000 village collectives, and the cumulative income of village collectives has exceeded 500 million yuan; The public satisfaction of the ecological environment in the province has been improved for 11 consecutive years, achieving two "national firsts" … …
Where does the happiness of ordinary people come from?
As an important birthplace of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, the birthplace of the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" and the first place to practice, Zhejiang answered with practice: the environment is people’s livelihood, the green hills are beautiful, and the blue sky is also happy.
This road, Zhejiang people are more and more determined. Green water and green hills have become the happy backers of the people, and green has become the most moving color of Zhejiang’s development.
I remember that in 2020, at the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress, the Zhejiang delegation submitted the "Proposal on Establishing the National Ecological Civilization Day on August 15th" to the National People’s Congress for the first time in the name of the delegation. As a reporter accompanying the Zhejiang delegation, I personally witnessed and first reported this moment.
In June this year, the Third Session of the 14th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) voted to designate August 15th as the National Ecological Day. Since then, the construction of beautiful China has a stronger guarantee of the rule of law.
Green water and green mountains reflect the light of thought and respond to the questions of the times.
In July this year, at the National Eco-environmental Protection Conference, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once again emphasized the concept of "two mountains": "Firmly establish and practice the concept of Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and put the construction of beautiful China in a prominent position in the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation … …”
From the construction of Zhejiang Eco-province to the construction of beautiful China, thoughts cross the times and illuminate the way forward.
The concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has led profound changes in the vast land of China; The supreme leader’s thought of ecological civilization is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, which has laid a solid ecological foundation for Chinese modernization and contributed to the global ecological civilization construction.
The rivers are surging and the mountains are green. From the coast of the East China Sea to the banks of the Qianjiang River, from the bustling city to beautiful countryside, a new modern chapter of harmonious coexistence between man and nature continues wonderfully in Zhejiang and China.
