A grand canal, half of Chinese history. Founded in the spring and Autumn period, it has connected eight provinces and cities along the line for thousands of years, connecting the five major water systems of Qiantang River, Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River and Haihe River. This artificial canal is like an epic flowing in China. Since modern times, due to the impact of social unrest, climate change and economic and social changes, the north of the Yellow River of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal has been plagued by problems such as river interruption, siltation, water environmental pollution and water ecological damage. The whole line is connected with water for the first time in a century, which is of great significance. I hope you can jointly protect the Grand Canal and make it benefit the people forever. Today, the young guardians of the grand canal are gathering. They live along the canal and do different jobs, but they are inextricably linked to guarding the Grand Canal. They brushed away the dust of history for this ancient canal and recreated its dazzling brilliance in the new era. You see—— The Grand Canal in the mouth of grandparents is back Walking through xihaizi Park in Tongzhou, Beijing, the breeze comes slowly and the water waves are not happy. The Beiguan flood diversion hub here is the north head of the Qianli Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal and the intersection of the North Canal with Wenyu River, Tonghui River, Yunchao River and Xiaozhong river. Linhe leaned against the railing to recall the past, and Du Jun was in a trance. "It's only ten or twenty years since the sewage in the impression of the North Canal is black and smelly to the current clear water and green bank, but it's been a long time." Du Jun is an out and out TongZhou girl. Growing up by the canal, she is no stranger to the history of Tongzhou's rise and prosperity due to water transportation. Mentioning the Grand Canal in memory, Du Jun shook his head bitterly. "I heard from the old people at home that the water quality of the North Canal was good in the past, and fish and shrimp could be seen when I looked down. However, with the continuous acceleration of urbanization in recent decades, the North Canal, as the main drainage channel in Beijing, has been black and smelly for many years." In 2013, Du Jun came to Beiguan flood diversion hub of Beiguan Management Office of North Canal Management Office of Beijing Municipal Water Bureau to work. The water and grass accumulated in front of the gate, the floating white garbage on the river and the smell from time to time also impressed her deeply. It is also from 2013 that Beijing has successively formulated three "three-year action plans" for sewage treatment and renewable water use. The North Canal Management Office has carried out comprehensive water environment control of the North Canal basin from point to line and then to surface. In 2020, the water quality of the North Canal has reached class IV and above from class V in the past. Today, more than 30 kinds of birds and more than 10 kinds of aquatic plants are observed in the intersection area of the five rivers. "With the continuous improvement of the water ecological environment, our water pipe work has also focused on flood control and drainage in the past. Now, on the basis of ensuring flood control safety, we carry out water ecological construction, water environment improvement, canal culture publicity, etc." Du Jun said. Slow walking trails, fishing platforms, convenient toilets, voice prompt poles... Today's Beiyun River, the improvement of convenient facilities has attracted more and more citizens to go fishing, walking and jogging along the river. As a commentator spreading the canal culture and water development, Du Jun found during his daily visit and reception that "the ecological restoration of the North Canal is getting better and better, which has also stimulated people's stronger interest in the canal culture and water transport culture. The Grand Canal is back, and people's nostalgia is back". Fall in love with a city because of "luck" May 18, international museum day. A photo of tourists visiting Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum became popular on the Internet. The blending of ancient canal culture and modern science and technology has created a dreamy and ethereal visual effect of the Grand Canal Museum. This is not the first time that Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum has become popular. When the Yunbo was officially opened to the public in mid June last year, the "lost canal of the Daming capital water prison" in the museum made many young tourists have a "secret room escape" addiction in the museum. "Starting with a secret imperial edict to return to Beijing, you will shoulder a heavy responsibility, take a file and embark on a journey... With your intelligence and understanding of the canal, you can remove layers of fog through countless clues..." unlike the traditional classical grandeur, this young Museum, relying on a group of young museum people, has attracted more and more young tourists to punch in. "In 486 BC, King fuchai of Wu dug Hangou in Yangzhou to 'connect the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers' and became the starting section of the Grand Canal. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal on a large scale and expanded and connected it from north to South with Yangzhou as the center. During the Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangzhou city also continued to move southward and expand, and the development of salt transportation and water transportation made it a metropolis close to the canal and the Yangtze River. Therefore, Yangzhou was also the leading city when the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal was applied for World Heritage The Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal starts from Beijing and Hangzhou respectively. Why is the China Grand Canal Museum located in Yangzhou? Facing the reporter's curiosity, Gu Jing, a staff member of the Social Service Department of Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum, talked about the history of Yangzhou and the Grand Canal. Gu Jing originally worked at the Nanjing Museum. Since the establishment of Yangzhou China Grand Canal Museum, she has lived a "two city" life. Now, the Nanjing girl is more and more interested in Yangzhou's history and culture. In her own words, she "falls in love with a city because of a museum". In this love, there are hardships and happiness of struggle. From scratch, in more than 600 days, this museum of new Tang style architecture has sprung up in Yangzhou Grand Canal National Cultural Park. At the same time, Gu Jing and her colleagues completed all the planning and service work of three basic exhibitions, six special exhibitions, one digital immersive experience exhibition, one youth interactive experience exhibition and three temporary exhibitions. "The development of museums is also constantly meeting people's pursuit of a better life." Looking back on the "excitement and honor" when receiving the preparation task, Gu Jing and her colleagues watched their efforts turn into exhibits, activities and smiling faces of tourists. The young Museum man sighed to the reporter: "I have witnessed the completion and opening of China Sports Expo, and China Sports Expo has also witnessed my learning and growth." To guard the Grand Canal, the rule of law cannot be absent In addition to showing the history of the Grand Canal and the current governance of the Grand Canal, there are some people who focus on the further future from the perspective of guarding the Grand Canal. From June 1, the regulations on the protection and utilization of the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal in Hebei Province (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") will be officially implemented. This local regulation stipulates the protection and utilization of the cultural heritage of the Hebei Grand Canal, the management and protection of river systems, the protection and restoration of the ecological environment, the integrated development of culture and tourism, the overall planning and coordination of urban and rural areas, and the protection of famous historical and cultural cities, towns and villages, "building the 'four beams and eight pillars' of the protection and utilization mechanism system of the cultural heritage of the Hebei Dayun River". Before that, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places protected the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal and promoted the construction of the Grand Canal cultural belt through legislation or government regulations. Chai lifeI, the first level chief staff member of the first division of laws and regulations of the law working committee of the Standing Committee of Hebei Provincial People's Congress, participated in the formulation of many laws and regulations in Hebei Province, but made difficulties when participating in the special class for the legislative work of the regulations. "Generally speaking, the field of adjustment and standardization of special regulations in local regulations is relatively single, and the responsibilities, work objectives and main tasks of the departments involved are relatively focused. However, the regulations are relatively special, which should not only protect the 'tangible' river channel of the Grand Canal, but also inherit and protect the 'intangible' culture accompanying it." Chai lifeI told reporters that although the regulations mainly regulate the protection and utilization of the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, they actually involve all aspects of the economic and social life of the Grand Canal and its route. "In legislation, we must emphasize the systematic and integrated protection and utilization of the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, and use the 'point' of cultural heritage protection and utilization to drive the 'aspect' of high-quality economic and social development along the route.". Go deep into the provinces and cities along the line, solicit the opinions of grass-roots legislative contact points, organize domestic authoritative experts to discuss and demonstrate, solicit opinions from the public through wechat platform, and repeatedly deliberate on each mechanism, system and provision... In the process of formulating the regulations, Chai lifeI felt the value of her work - "all our efforts are to polish the text of the regulations into fine laws. These works are of great significance to strengthen the pertinence, applicability and operability of the regulations, and lay a solid foundation for ensuring that the regulations are tenable, feasible and effective." Law is the end of governance. "The rule of law should not be absent, let alone missing, in the protection and utilization of the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal." When the regulations are about to be implemented, Chai lifeI is full of confidence in this regulation. "This regulation will enhance the governance efficiency with institutional strength, and will more effectively improve the protection and utilization level of the cultural heritage of the Grand Canal in Hebei Province, effectively promote the permanent charm and style of the times of Chinese traditional culture, and effectively promote the high-quality economic and social development along the Grand Canal.".
