Guangzhou Municipal Working Team in Bangzhen village, qigong Town:
It is as if every village, town and town can’t bear to see the beautiful scenery of the rice field and the rice field. It seems that every village and town can’t bear to see the rice field and the rice field.
What is little known is that there are many cultural relics and historic sites in Qigong Town, such as Xuefa temple, which is known as “Potala Palace in Guangdong”, the former residence of the seven guards of qiumen who are loyal and courageous to protect Sun Yat Sen, and the best preserved ancient village in Yangshan - Tancun ancient village… How to activate and connect the development of green agricultural industry and cultural tourism in Qigong town while complementing the shortcomings of rural infrastructure, It has become a difficult problem and challenge in front of the Guangzhou task force for helping villages in Qigong town (hereinafter referred to as the task force). “Industry + agricultural tourism is the direction of Rural Revitalization of Qigong Town, but at the same time, we should also focus on solving some urgent and anxious livelihood problems in villages and towns in batches, so as to make Qigong town develop better and more beautiful.” Jiang Shengliang, leader of the Task Force stationed in the town, said confidently.
Ten million aid funds give priority to solving the short board of villages and towns
Qigong town is located in the south of Yangshan County, 20 kilometers away from the county. National Highway 107 runs through the north and south, about 2.5 hours’ drive from Guangzhou. In Yangshan County, the agricultural population is dominated. The agricultural specialties in the town mainly include Huaishan, fange, xiangsticky rice, silk seedling rice, cabbage, Yangshan chicken and Yangshan spring. Among them, silk seedling rice and Huaishan are two pillar industries, with a rice planting area of 59000 Mu and a Huaishan planting area of 8000 mu.
“Huaishan in Xilian village and simiaomi in huogang village have won the title of” one village, one product, one town and one industry “in Guangdong Province. At the same time, qigong town has become the only Township in the county to win the title of” provincial professional town “in 2020 because of simiaomi.” Jiang Shengliang said. Qigong town has unique natural and geographical resources, but the development levels of 17 village committees and one community in the town are different. Many villages still have objective problems such as lack of irrigation water and poor infrastructure. The development of agricultural tourism industry is also in a bottleneck period of lack of afterforce and driving force, which needs overall planning and assistance for development.
In July 2021, led by the Publicity Department of Guangzhou municipal Party committee, the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of education, Guangzhou Maritime College, Guangzhou Institute of socialism and Guangzhou Rural Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. sent a team to unite and form the working team of helping the village in Bang Town, qigong Town, Yangshan County, Guangzhou. “Our task force has five members, two of whom serve as the first Secretary of the village.” Jiang Shengliang said that in addition, the task force is also equipped with a financial assistant, “three supports and one help” and a college student volunteer. Since its arrival, the task force has continuously carried out the research work of going to villages and households. At present, it has visited more than 100 poverty relief households and dynamically mastered 37 people in 9 poverty prevention monitoring households.
Moreover, the Task Force stationed in the town also used the special fund for assisting the village in the town to help solve many urgent problems and make up for deficiencies. By the end of 2021, the first batch of assistance projects totaling 10.8 million yuan (including a series of projects coordinated by Yangshan County) have been basically completed. “There is a canal in Xinwei village, which has been out of repair for 20 years, making it difficult for villagers to use water. After learning about the situation, the Task Force stationed in the town applied for about 570000 yuan of assistance fund, and built a new canal from jingjingbei reservoir in Shiao village, Yangcheng town to Chashan village, Xinwei village committee, which is about 4.5km long. It is a combination of iron water pipe and three side light. This project meets the drinking water problem of more than 1290 people in Dagangshan area and the irrigation of more than 800 mu of farmland Irrigation problem. “ Chen Chuanhuai, Secretary of the general Party branch of Xinwei village, said.
The hardening of roads in Xilian village, the construction of longkuwan electric drainage station in Tancun village and the three-sided light of water conservancy in Yankou village… After the arrival of the resident task force in the town, 11 livelihood projects have been led and completed successively. The next batch of assistance projects totaling 10.55 million yuan have also been screened and are being put into storage and promoted according to the procedures. The second batch of projects are mainly carried out around the centralized water supply of residents in the town, industrial development and the improvement of the appearance of the polder town.
Connect the existing scenic spots into a line to promote the integrated development of agriculture and tourism
Although silk seedling rice and Huaishan are two pillar industries, the added value of agricultural products is relatively low, the agricultural output value fluctuates greatly under the influence of environment and market, and there are many practical problems. “If we want to combine the rural production with the existing agricultural landscape, we should not only rely on the long-term development of the town, but also take the long-term development of agriculture.” Jiang Shengliang said. After the Task Force stationed in the town was stationed, in the work of project assistance, it always focused on the demonstration and driving role of “national agricultural strong town” and “Guangdong leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration town” in Qigong Town, and vigorously promoted the construction of silk Miao Mi provincial modern agricultural industrial park and Huaishan Park base by relying on the two advantageous industries of local Huaishan and silk Miao MI.
“In nearly two months, we visited 17 administrative villages and one community in the town, listened to the work reports of each village, visited the monitoring objects of poverty prevention and return, and went deep into the fields to communicate with villagers and village cadres to understand the industrial development, public services and the construction of meimeixu town.” Jiang Shengliang said that through the research, the Task Force stationed in the town wrote a detailed research report, which provided first-hand materials and basis for the next preparation of the specific assistance plan for the revitalization of villages in the town.
During the investigation, the task force in Qigong town learned that qigong town has very classic and precious scenic spot resources such as Xuefa ancestral temple, ancient village of Tancun village and former residence of seven guards. However, how to combine with the agricultural industry in Qigong town and maximize the value of the combination of agriculture and tourism on the basis of protecting historical relics will be one of the priorities of the task force in Qigong town in the next step. “To develop the combination of agriculture and tourism, we should string the existing scenic spots into lines, uniformly develop them into scenic spots with more viewing and playing value, and solve the problem of attracting people.” Jiang Shengliang said that the Task Force stationed in the town will make full use of its own resources and make unremitting efforts to develop the combination of agriculture and tourism in Qigong town.
Make full use of existing resources to help villages and towns in an all-round way
In addition to making up for weaknesses and strengthening agricultural tourism planning, the Task Force stationed in the town also made full use of its own resources to further strengthen the comprehensive assistance to Qigong town at the levels of education, finance and consumption. “There are two colleges and an Education Bureau in our group assistance unit, and there are many educational resources. Therefore, we strive to give full play to the role of education in helping
