Since the beginning of this century, the "three rural" issues have occupied a crucial position in the national development strategy, and its transformation process has profoundly affected and driven the comprehensive development of China's economy and society. Looking back on the first document of the past years, we have been able to clearly sort out the major changes experienced under the interaction between the "three rural" fields and the urban-rural relationship and the relationship between the central and local governments.
In 2010, the product of the era of reform and opening up, "township enterprises", was mentioned for the last time in the No. 1 document, and its historical mission in the process of China's industrialization was gradually completed. In 2004, with the rise of the cross-provincial tide of migrant workers, Document No. 1 officially recognized the important position of migrant workers in urban economic development, and proposed a series of resettlement and income increase policies in response to the impact of the international financial crisis on migrant workers in the following years. Especially in the process of urbanization, it has become a new trend for farmers to settle in cities and return to their hometowns to start businesses, reflecting the new look of rural development under the rural revitalization strategy.
At the same time, the No. 1 Document of 2004 focused on promoting the increase of peasants' incomes, confronted the problem of excessive burdens on peasants, and clearly proposed the gradual reduction of agricultural tax rates until the eventual abolition of agricultural taxes, ending the more than 2,000-year-long history of "agriculture to support government". In the new century, the distribution pattern of land transfer income has also become the focus of attention, from the long-term main support for urban construction to increasing support for agriculture and rural areas year by year, especially in the context of the rural revitalization strategy, the proportion of land transfer income used for agriculture and rural areas has increased significantly, demonstrating the great importance and firm determination of the state to agricultural and rural development.
Behind these phenomenal events, the behavioral logic and development driving force of local ** cannot be ignored. In the past, the "GDP impulse" and the tendency of "emphasizing the city over agriculture" and "promoting industry and suppressing agriculture" in some places have made the "three rural" bear the burden of development to a certain extent, but at the same time, it has also made historic contributions to the economic development of the local and even the whole country. Whether it is the transformation of township enterprises, or the great contribution of migrant workers, or major measures such as reducing the burden on farmers and adjusting the use of land transfer funds, all reveal the cornerstone role and irreplaceable value of agriculture, rural areas and farmers in the process of national modernization.
Although the proportion of the primary industry may decline in terms of the proportion of output value, the importance of agriculture and farmers is difficult to measure in terms of agricultural product security and labor supply. The subsidies to farmers are increasing year by year, which is a kind of compensation for the past efforts of farmers, and it is also a respect and affirmation of the future value of farmers. As the general secretary of the first country affectionately said: "At no time can we ignore agriculture, forget the peasants, and be indifferent to the countryside." "The sacrifice and contribution of farmers is the foundation of China's food security, the driving force of China's manufacturing, and an important support for China's rejuvenation. The prosperity of the country is most grateful to the cultivators on that vast field - hundreds of millions of Chinese farmers!
