Symphony of yellow, blue and green civilization
A philosopher said that man will return to the place where he came from. The development of human society has caused shocking damage and pollution to the earth. Once the land is crushed by the energy crisis and environmental pollution, mankind can only retreat to the ocean, the cradle of life. The ocean has become our last territory. History has played a joke on us. Our ancestors came from the ocean, and now we will return to the ocean. Things changed when I came, and things changed when I went. During this time, human beings will bow their proud heads in embarrassment and shed tears of shame and bitterness in the face of the dying earth.
But the sea world is not peaceful. For many years, especially since the industrial revolution for hundreds of years, with the predatory sound of "whoever controls the ocean will control the world", the blue ocean is in danger. Marine pollution, biological extinction, sea level rise, red algae in the bay, etc. The ocean is gradually aging and degenerating under the great interference of human beings. China has nearly two-fifths of the population, and two-thirds of its gross national product is distributed in coastal areas. The ocean is of decisive significance to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It can be said that the day when the coastal areas of China were completely polluted was the day when the Chinese nation completely declined. Since ancient times, marine consciousness has represented the consciousness of openness and civilization. Today, with the arrival of the new century, the ocean has a more realistic meaning for the increasingly powerful China, and that is the ocean.
Land represents the new continent for the survival and development of the Chinese nation, and marine strategy represents the new development trend of the Chinese nation in the 2 1 century.
A nation that doesn't understand the ocean is short-sighted;
A nation that dares not gallop on the ocean is an enterprising nation;
A nation that doesn't know how to protect the ocean is a nation with no future and no competitiveness;
Whoever ignores the ocean will lose the future,
Whoever protects the ocean will get the future.
No matter from the cohesive civilization of the mainland represented by the Loess Plateau to the extroverted marine civilization represented by the Gold Coast, or from the yellow civilization represented by the Yellow River valley civilization to the blue civilization represented by the future marine civilization, the road to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the 2 1 century must be based on the further development and upgrading of marine civilization, blue civilization and even ecological civilization and green civilization. May the three civilizations of yellow, blue and green jointly play the symphony of the ecological civilization of the Chinese nation and move towards a splendid and fruitful new century.
Ocean: the cradle of human civilization
On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea. The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea.
Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging. The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.
The Milky Way is full of stars, as if it were born in this vast ocean.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
In the 12th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 207), Cao Cao decided to return to Li Chenggong in the north, and wrote China's first poem "Viewing the Sea", which was regarded as the pioneer of China's landscape poems. In the poet's eyes, the turbulent sea, rugged mountain islands and lush vegetation all follow the bleak autumn wind, making the poet's thoughts surge with the water. In his imagination, the sun, the moon and the stars are running in the embrace of the sea, and the sea has an all-encompassing mind. On the surface, the poet is describing the sea, but in fact he is expressing his feelings. His high fighting spirit and great ambition to dominate the world are all integrated into the aesthetic experience of the sea, which makes the sea in his works have a special life, and its heroic cry can not disappear for a long time after thousands of years.
The heavy rain falls on you Yan, the white waves are sky-high, and the fishing boat is outside Qinhuangdao.
A king is out of sight. Who can we ask for help?
In the past 1000 years, Wei Wu waved a whip and left a legacy in the East.
The bleak autumn wind is changing the world again today.
As heroes think, so thought Bruce. 1600 years later, Mao Zedong, a great man of a generation, faced the sea of Qinhuangdao, recalled the present and the past, waved the above-mentioned words connecting the past and the present with great encouragement, and enthusiastically praised the new era and new life. More than a thousand years later, the "armor" in Cao Cao's Travel Notes on Songshan gave birth to lice, and Wan's surname died. Bones show vilen, a thousand miles without crying. The era of "giving birth to hundreds of people and breaking people's intestines" is finally gone forever, and Mao Zedong is deeply touched. But one is desolate and sad, one is heroic and spirited, and the other is "the world is cold"!
In the eyes of the ancients, the ocean was regarded as a world where the stars rose from the sun, the sky and the water met, unfathomable, vast, precious and mysterious. Scholars and poets who lived by the sea and the wind in past dynasties left many excellent works to the world. Among them, there are no fewer than ten sea poems-Ban Gu's sea poems in Han Dynasty, RoyceWong's sea poems and Cao Cao's sea poems mentioned earlier. Even in China's dictionary, the idiom about the sea is bow. Such as smooth sailing, only a strip of water, vows of eternal love, the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, the ends of the earth, the four seas are at home, everything changes, all rivers run into the sea, sweeping the sky, and the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers. There are also marine folk stories told by fishermen's couples and sailors. They are full of sea breeze, fish fragrance and local flavor, with vivid content, magical beauty and diverse styles. There are also some wonderful marine myths, such as Jingwei's reclamation, crossing the sea with the Eight Immortals, the Dragon Maid herding sheep, vicissitudes of life, Xu Fu's quest for immortals, Guanyin in the South China Sea, Mazu Tempel in Meizhou, Luoyang Bridge in Quanzhou, etc. , vividly depicts the beautiful images full of fairy tales, such as dragon king and dragon girl, turtle minister and turtle, shrimp soldier and crab general, snake girl and fish girl, which deeply touched the hearts of generations and became the hearts of mankind.
The sea of clouds in the east is empty, and the gods are too busy to show. Is there a hidden pearl palace in the North Que? You dare to bother your eyes and ears when you know what you are seeing is an illusion. At the age of 20, the cold and water-cooled fields were closed, and I was stung hard by a whip. The frost broke at the dawn in Qinggang, a heavy building, and the strange things surprised a hundred years old. ......
Since ancient times, Penglai's "mirage", like a fairyland, has greatly attracted the imagination and praise of the ancients. Su Dongpo's poem "Climbing the Stone" has added a lot of charm to Penglai. The Penglai myth system formed by Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou, the three holy mountains of Penglai, echoes the Kunlun myth that originated in the western plateau area of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and constitutes a profound myth world of the Chinese nation. Since then, China people's pursuit of the ocean has been passed down from generation to generation, and they have become interested.
People say that the ocean is the cradle of mankind. When human beings move from the ocean to the land, they will definitely return to the ocean. 2 1 century is the century of the ocean. The ocean is closely related to the future development and prosperity of the country. China is a big maritime country with winding coastline and many beautiful and rich coastal cities. For example, Shanhaiguan, the first pass of the Great Wall in Wan Li, looks at the towering mountains in the north and the sea and Bohai Sea in the south. It lies between mountains and seas, and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. How many historical clouds have condensed! Shanhaiguan is a witness to the history of China and a symbol of ancient civilization in China. The tragic story from Meng Jiangnv's search for a husband to Wu Sangui's entry into the customs until the Japanese invaders ravaged the great rivers and mountains of the motherland has repeatedly warned us that if we close our doors and stay on our laurels, we will inevitably suffer consequences and be punished!
Throughout the ages, the ocean has always played an important role in human life and created a great blue civilization. In the history of the world, it seems that there is only one model of blue ocean civilization in ancient Greece. In fact, Oriental China has already had its own unique marine culture. From the legend that Qin Shihuang and Liang Wudi sent Taoist priests to the sea to seek an elixir, to the opening of the Maritime Silk Road across the South China Sea of China, from Zheng He's seven voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty to the overseas survival and entrepreneurship of thousands of overseas Chinese in modern Qian Qian, all of them showed the indissoluble bond between China people and the sea. Only in agricultural China, "the sea is a field" has long been the basic connotation of ancient marine culture in China, and China people have never really entered the ocean and the world. However, since the founding of New China, the blue ocean civilization symbolizing the spirit of reform and opening-up began to radiate strongly from east to west to the loess civilization symbolizing the cohesive civilization, and the people of China will enter a new era with high morale.
B. The development trend of yellow civilization and blue civilization: green civilization
"Luoyang Gongque Zhongzhou, the twelfth floor of the city". This is a poem by Zhang Ji, a poet in Tang Dynasty, praising Luoyang, the "East Capital" at that time.
"Shu Qi Mingxia Wufeng Pagoda, Yimen is the state of ancient emperors". This is a poem written by Li Fen, a poet in Jin Dynasty, praising Kaifeng, the capital city.
But times have changed. Where are the palaces and empires now? Tracing back to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the rapid expansion of population and the large-scale construction of feudal emperors, the ecology of Guanzhong Plain was once greatly destroyed, and the intersection of water mirrors and Weishui endangered human beings, which eventually led to the shrinking production in the economic regions near Gyeonggi and Chang 'an, and the food supply had to be shipped from the southeast. Later, due to the problem of water transportation, it was difficult for a large amount of food to enter Guanzhong, and the food supply was tight. The Sui and Tang emperors had to cross Sanmenxia eastward to build Luoyang into the "East Capital". By the end of the Tang Dynasty, no powerful political group could continue to offset this ecological and economic impact by virtue of political power, and then set its capital in Guanzhong forever. Therefore, the Liang, Zhou and Northern Song Dynasties of the Five Dynasties all moved the capital city to Kaifeng, which is not far from the land of fish and rice in the southeast. This is a typical example that the ecological environment leads to economic decline and then affects the political decision-making process of the regime.
In addition, changes in the ecological environment also have a potential impact on ethnic contradictions. In the history of China, the rise and fall of ethnic minorities in the north, the war or peaceful exchange between Han and ethnic minorities are all closely related to the changes of vegetation when the earth gets cold. Huma, which Wang Changling was worried about, and Jinbing, which Lu You hated, both "moved southward step by step" with the surface vegetation and surface water and soil, and also "moved southward step by step", thus deducing several changes in ethnic relations.
Where is the misty Menggu? Waves shake Yueyang city has been different.
There is no wave in eight hundred miles, only Yuzhou soil is half preserved.
Sing a song about insulting sages and filling the sea to shame fools.
I would like to see the vicissitudes of life again and return Sichuan to the lake one day.
Wei Yuan, a pioneer of modern reform, sighed deeply for the shrinking Dongting Lake. Not only that, when we face frequent floods in the Yangtze River every year, the Yellow River has been cut off for many years; Facing the destruction of the green corridor in the lower reaches of Tarim River, Inner Mongolia prairie is heading for desertification. Faced with the fact that the Liaohe River, Haihe River and Huaihe River have become surging sewage ditches, and Taihu Lake, Dianchi Lake and Chaohu Lake have become stagnant water, our mood is extremely heavy, and the water crisis in China is indeed imminent.
The Yellow River, you are the cradle of the Chinese nation, and 5,000 years of ancient culture originated from you. The Yellow River Basin is the most important birthplace of China culture. For thousands of years, the gurgling Yellow River water gave birth to the ancestor of Yanhuang, watered the glory of Han and Tang Dynasties and nurtured the largest community of all mankind. She is like a flowing theme of national history, an endless genealogy of Chinese descendants, shaping many heroic epics, forming the Chinese soul and folk customs of the Huangpi people, and can be called the national treasure of our whole nation.
Unfortunately, for a long time, we didn't cherish our national treasure. In addition to selfishly demanding and plundering the mother river, it also destroyed the extremely fragile ecological line at the source of the river, which led to the concern that "the Yellow River is cut off every year and the Yangtze River floods frequently". Since ancient times, hundreds of rivers have returned to the sea. The mother river, which has flowed for thousands of years, has been cut off. Not only did all the birds and animals on land lose their homes, but thousands of fish, shrimps, crabs and shellfish in Qian Qian also lost their homes. Rivers are the source of China, and soil and water are the foundation of people's livelihood! In the long run, mankind will shrink or even be destroyed in the alternation of flood and water shortage.
"How can there be sustainable development without sustainable rivers?" Just as human civilization originated from water, human civilization will be destroyed in the flood and dryness of water. As a big agricultural country born and prospered by water, the origin of the nation is closely related to the rise and fall of the country and water. A history of disasters in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River has given people profound lessons and enlightenment: violating the natural law of "harmony between man and nature" and artificially destroying the ecological environment of rivers endlessly is self-destruction of our own homeland and will inevitably bring us bad consequences. Facing the water problem, the Chinese nation is facing an increasingly severe test in the new century.
"Water transport is prosperous, and the world is prosperous". From Dayu's flood control to Dujiangyan's natural prosperity in Chengdu, from Shanghai and Tianjin to the rise and fall of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, this truth has been proved time and again. Human development needs an answer. More than 2,000 years ago, Laozi warned future generations that man and nature should develop harmoniously, return to nature and learn from nature in order to achieve the realm of harmony between man and nature.
Since ancient times, the sons and daughters of the Yellow River have been calling for "saints coming out of Huang Heqing". However, all kinds of water conservancy projects built with hundreds of millions and billions of hard-earned money failed to fundamentally solve the problem of flood interruption of the Yellow River. Nowadays, the western development in the new century has brought opportunities to the water problem in China, but the frequent natural disasters and man-made ecological destruction at the source of rivers make the water problem in China even more dangerous. Even if the water problem in the west is not solved in a coordinated way as a whole, the whole west will fall into an extremely terrible predicament.
Water is the most active factor in the ecological environment. With water, the desert can also become an oasis. With water, the world will be full of vigor and vitality, and society will continue to create civilization. But where does the water come from? What is the crux of the water problem? Is there a new theory of fundamentally controlling water? What is the development trend of water problems in the new century? An important topic like this cannot be answered by one person at a time. He needs the wisdom of hundreds of millions of people to create them. This paper only makes some simple discussions here.
Take history as a mirror, and you can know the gains and losses. More than 4000 years ago, the Loess Plateau, the birthplace of the Chinese nation, was still a land rich in aquatic plants. Until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yellow River was still called a river, and there was no such thing as "Yellow River". After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the population in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River continued to multiply, and large forests disappeared in torches, knives and axes, and the ecological balance was greatly destroyed, resulting in increasingly serious soil erosion. In the long run, the Yellow River has become a "hanging river" and a confidant of the Chinese nation.
"Ask which canal is so clear? It is the source of living water. " The water of the Yellow River comes not only from the sky, but also from the forest. It can be said that the forest gave birth to the Yellow River and the Yellow River culture. The layout and quantity of forests are the key to the water problem of the Yellow River. If the problems of forest protection and barren hills greening in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are solved, half of the Yellow River water problems will be solved. The other half of the problem is the industrialized management of water resources. Re-understanding the two-way feedback and harmonious development relationship between man and nature, scientifically and systematically handling the functional orientation and interest relationship of the upper, middle and lower reaches, and integrating the idea of "harmony between man and nature" into it will not only make people and nature meaningful to each other, but also make the upper, middle and lower reaches of the basin learn from each other and complement each other. This is the gospel that human beings completely change the harm of water, and it is also a shortcut to change engineering water control into ecological water control. Green mountains and green waters, flowing green waters, clear lakes and seas, yellow civilization will rush to blue civilization and green civilization from here.
In recent years, a large number of ecological literature works have appeared. The famous one is Xu Gang's Woodcutter, wake up! Degraded Land, Rivers Are Not Eternal Flows, Green Declaration, and the recently released Watch Home, as well as Huang Jiuyuan's River Basin Eco-economic Strategy. These are the good news that ecological civilization is coming to us, a miserable human being, and all living beings will benefit from it.
American biologists compare the earth to a single giant cell, an organic and unified life, a self-organizing and self-regulating life. The life of everything on the earth is also the life of the earth itself. Even human beings, as the soul of all things, are only a unique part of the earth and have universal connections with all living and non-living things on the earth. Therefore, the earth does not only belong to human beings, all living things on the earth have the right to live freely, and human beings should live in harmony with them to maintain the earth as a single cell forever.
It will be our greatest shame to let the rivers flowing through the ages be destroyed in our hands;
With our efforts, it will be our greatest honor to revive the dying river!
May rivers not die, may lakes and seas not die, and may mankind live forever!
