Building the brand of "Northern Xinjiang Culture" is an important path for the Party Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to focus on the construction of the common spiritual home of the Chinese nation, promote the construction of a culturally strong region, and comprehensively display the good image of Inner Mongolia. As the "West Gate" of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and an important bridgehead for opening to the north, the Alxa League focuses on the two major events of completing the "Five Major Tasks" and building a "Model Autonomous Region" in an all-round way, vigorously promotes the Mongolian horse spirit and the "Three North Spirit", and marks the "Northern Xinjiang Culture" Alxa Annotation with the majestic "magnificent" regional characteristics, the continuous "harmony and beauty" of the family and country, the mellow "goodness and beauty" belief and the open and "beautiful" mind.

"Magnificent" Alxa
The beauty lies in the infinite scenery and the inclusiveness of multiculturalism
The "magnificence" of Alxa - beauty lies in the vast territory and unlimited scenery, and even more beautiful in the inclusive mix of grassland culture, farming culture, Yellow River culture and Great Wall culture here, highlighting the unique regional characteristics and resource endowment of Alxa's "Northern Xinjiang Culture". The unique geographical location of Alxa League is located at the intersection of grassland civilization and desert civilization, and the special geographical environment has laid the foundation for the diversity of Alxa culture.
Seek the roots of nature and integrate development. The Alxa League is located in the north of the motherland, the westernmost part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, bordering the Mongolian Plateau in the north, the Hexi Corridor in the south, the Tianshan Mountains in the west, and Helan in the east, with a total area of 270,000 square kilometers and a total population of 2690,000 people, the largest and least populous of the 12 league cities in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The indispensable influence of the regional culture of the Mongolian Plateau, the Hexi Corridor, the Hetao Plain, the Ningxia Plain and the Guanzhong Plain has promoted the prosperity and development of the Alxa grassland culture. "Desert Eden" leads to the lake and grassland, surrounded by sand, sand peaks, undulating and scattered, boundless, every midsummer, visitors are weaving; Alxa singer Dedema used the song "Beautiful Prairie My Home" to depict the picturesque spring of thousands of miles. Here Helan Junyi, Populus euphratica hanging green, sand sea gilded, Juyan Chengbi. The majestic Helan Mountain, one of the three north-south mountain ranges in China, stands in the east of Alxa, and has been known as "the guarantee of Shuofang and the throat of the desert" since ancient times; Ejina Poplar Forest, one of the three major poplar forests in the world, has the reputation of "three thousand years of immortality" spread here, and in the golden autumn of October, the eyes are full of gold, like a fairyland, and are praised as "the most beautiful autumn color in China"; There is the world's only desert geopark, Alxa Desert Global Geopark, and the Badain Jaran Desert, one of the world's three major deserts, which is known for its height, steepness, danger and steepness, and is known as "the curve drawn by God"; There is Dongfeng Space City, one of the world's three major manned space centers in the world, which has created one "first" after another in the history of China's aerospace and realized the Chinese nation's dream of flying for thousands of years; The Grand Canyon of Aolun Prague, which integrates the Yadan landform and the Danxia landform, can be called a unique natural landscape in the world; "The color is like Wodan, bright like the bright glow", the Haisen Chulu strange stone forest has various forms and is lifelike; The Moon Lake in the "South of the Yangtze River in the Desert" resembles a map of China, embedded in the vast sea of sand; Like the beating heart of Ulan Lake, gorgeous and hot; The world's rare desert Tianchi is like a piece of beautiful jade left in the world by the Heavenly Palace, attracting countless tourists at home and abroad to "go to the heart and do good". Under the successful practice of 23 years of the cross-provincial water diversion program of the Heihe River, the ecological environment has been greatly improved, and the water area has reached 40 square kilometers, showing the beautiful scenery of "Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky".
Alxa is one of the areas where the Great Wall resources are rich since ancient times, the Great Wall civilization is inherited and developed here, and there are more than 800 Great Wall sites in the Ming Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Xixia periods, which are important cultural heritage resources of the Alxa League. Alxa Left Banner, Alxa Right Banner and Ejina Banner all have Great Wall ruins. In 2020, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage released the first batch of national-level important points of the Great Wall, including the three passes section of the Ming Great Wall, the North Fork section, the Juyan site, the Han Great Wall, and the Ulan Prague barrier site in the Alxa League. At the same time, the Alxa farming civilization continues to inherit and develop, and together with the Yellow River culture, it constitutes a cultural inheritance bloodline.
In the inheritance and expansion of the "Northern Xinjiang Culture", Alxa has established a unified and harmonious natural system based on its unique mountains, poplars, deserts, aerospace, canyons and agriculture. It truly embodies the characteristics of not only paying attention to learning from others' strengths, being eclectic, but also grasping distinctive personalities and giving full play to their own advantages, and embodies the characteristics of "pluralism and integration" of northern Xinjiang culture.
The cultural context is inherited and the history is long. Alxa has a long history, profound culture, and is as bright as the stars, with precious historical relics and relics such as prehistoric relics, Great Wall Passes, Helan Fortress, ancient county towns, and Heicheng documents, which record the changes of the times and inherit the self-confidence and self-improvement of Chinese culture. As early as the Paleolithic Age, the footprints of human activities were left here, and the rock paintings of Mandela Mountain more than 6,000 years ago vividly reflected the production and life of the ancient ancestors in the Alxa area. The discovery of Juyan Hanjian has been called "one of the four great discoveries in Chinese archives in the 20th century". The world-renowned ruins of Heicheng were once the military towns of the Han, Tang, Western Xia and Yuan dynasties, and an important pass of the Silk Road. The story of the world-famous Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions and the shepherd of sheep in Suwu took place here, and the Dingyuan camp and the Tawangfu witnessed the historical process of chasing dreams and fighting for national liberation by the Alxa and Shuote Ministries and the Ejin Natur Hute Ministry. It is the place where the Eastern and Western cultures meet and the grassland Silk Road is an important passage, where farming culture and grassland culture are blended and developed, and the aerospace culture, the Great Wall culture, the desert culture, the camel culture, and the ornamental stone culture shine brightly, becoming an important witness of the pluralism and integration of Chinese civilization.
Green mountains, green waters, deserts, poplars, grasslands, and the Gobi, the "colorful brushes" depict the "colorful picture" of Alxa's ecological priority and green development. The colorful natural scenery and rich history and culture together constitute the distinctive characteristics and cultural connotation of the unique "Northern Xinjiang Culture" with Alxa characteristics, and lay and fuse the spiritual qualities of Alxa people's enthusiasm and simplicity, loyalty and broadness, self-confidence and open-mindedness.

"Harmony" Alxa
The beauty lies in national harmony and brotherhood
Alxa's "harmony and beauty" - beauty lies in ethnic harmony and brotherhood, and even more beauty lies in the responsibility of cadres and people of all ethnic groups who adhere to the main line of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, which demonstrates the consistent red inheritance and spiritual pursuit of Alxa's "Northern Xinjiang Culture". Red blood, inheritance and development. There are 38 ethnic groups living in the land of Alxa, including Han, Mongolian, Hui and Tibetan, and there has always been a fine tradition of unity and progress of all ethnic groups. More than 300 years ago, the Mongolian Turghut tribe, who did not want to be exploited and oppressed by the tsar, under the leadership of the "pioneer of eastward migration" Alabujur, went through hardships, returned to the motherland, settled in the Ejina River Valley, and worked hard with the local people of all ethnic groups to cultivate and herd at home and resist strong enemies outside, composing a legendary epic of loyalty and patriotism, demonstrating the strong cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation. In the period of the New Democratic Revolution, the Chinese Communists relied on the ancient caravan camel road in the sparsely populated Alxa Desert Gobi to open up a secret red passage leading from the liberated area to the center of the Comintern's activities, thus leaving behind many little-known and brilliant deeds of the older generation of revolutionaries in the land of Alxa. **When passing through Alxa, he once said that Dingyuan Camp is a good place. The red passage opened by the older generation of revolutionaries in Alxa is known as the secret passage of the Comintern (Alxa section) in history. On the occasion of the peaceful liberation of the Alxa region, Prince Dalizaya followed the trend and understood the righteousness, ending the history of more than 250 years of feudal rule in the Alxa Banner, and since then, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of all ethnic groups have fully enjoyed the democratic right to be masters of their own country. Bathed in the warm sunshine of the party, the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in Alxa are closely united like pomegranate seeds, extensively exchanged, united as one, and continued to struggle. In the early 60s of the 20th century, more than 3,000 orphans from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places were taken to the Inner Mongolia grassland, and they were called "children of the country", of which more than 30 were adopted by Alxa families, which became a good story of national unity and mutual assistance.
Take into account the overall situation, and the family and the country are united. The cadres and masses of all ethnic groups in the Alxa League have firmly established the community concept of sharing weal and woe, weal and weal and woe, life and death, and destiny, deepening the brand creation of "working together to build the Chinese dream and the heroic spirit of the camel township", implementing the action of "one district, one belt and three integrations", solidly carrying out double support and joint construction, and actively promoting the in-depth development of military-civilian integration. In the glorious land of Ejina, the story of "Sanyi Banner Mansion - the best pasture for aerospace" has become a vivid embodiment of the Alxa people's commitment to righteousness and dedication to the country. In order to support the national aerospace industry, the local cadres and masses in Ejina have moved their families many times, hundreds of cadres and workers, more than 4,000 herdsmen, and more than 100,000 livestock have moved away from Baori Wula, where the Ejina Banner is located in the best conditions, and contributed more than tens of thousands of square kilometers of the best grassland. In January 2023, the Alxa League was awarded the honorary title of "National Demonstration League for National Unity and Progress".
Pomegranate seeds are heart-to-heart, and the Chinese nation is a family. Today's Alxa is adhering to the main line of forging the sense of community of the Chinese nation, deeply excavating the historical origins of the exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups in Alxa, and the distinctive red genes, relying on red educational resources, to build a solid main line of education practice base, and striding forward to build a demonstration league of the sense of community of the Chinese nation. It has written a harmonious and beautiful chapter of all ethnic groups jointly building a great motherland and creating a better life.

"Kindness" Alxa
Beauty is in guarding the borders of the land and stabilizing the borders
The "goodness and beauty" of Alxa - beauty is rooted in dedication, fighting for the country, and even more beautiful in the common efforts of Alxa people to defend the land and defend the border, stabilize the border and promote the stability and tranquility of the frontier, which demonstrates the far-reaching and mellow belief and humanistic spirit of Alxa's "Northern Xinjiang Culture". Strengthen the edge and strengthen the edge, and be determined to take responsibility. Alxa has a special geographical location, the border with Mongolia in the north, the border line is nearly 735 kilometers, over the years, Alxa has adhered to the "state-owned border defense, border must be fortified", insisted on strengthening the border, safe border, solid border, rich border, and harmonious border integration to advance, rooted in the border of the Alxa people, guarding the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. In Engeri Wusu Gacha, the "model of northern Xinjiang", the old man Nima and his son Hadab have adhered to the national border for more than 50 years, patrolling more than 180,000 kilometers in total, and are known as the "living boundary monument" on the border; In 2023, the grandson of the old man Nima will become a police officer at the border police station, holding the baton of his grandmother and father, and continuing to write a good story of defending the country and defending the border in the border of the motherland. A number of exemplary collectives and individuals have emerged on all frontier fronts, such as the Shujingzi Border Police Station, the "camel platoon" of the border militia, Xie Baomin, the "first outpost" of the desert border, and Xu Naichao and Li Wenna of the border husband and wife police office. On the Alxa Desert Gobi, measures such as grassland 110, border police office, border protection yurt outposts, and red fortress households have been explored and implemented, consolidating the foundation of joint prevention and control and double support and joint construction.
Relying on the action of "rejuvenating the border and enriching the people", through the implementation of the renovation project of dilapidated houses on the border and strengthening the support for the development of characteristic industries, Alxa has continuously improved the production and living conditions of farmers and herdsmen who defend the land and the border, so that farmers and herdsmen can not only "live in peace and guard the border", but also "work happily and rejuvenate the border".
Ecological borders, live up to the green mountains. Focusing on the strategic goal of building a security and stability barrier in the northern part of the motherland, the Alxa League has successively implemented key projects such as the natural forest protection project, the return of farmland to forest (grassland), the "Three Norths" and the protection of wild animals and plants, and the construction of nature reserves, and has coordinated the comprehensive management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, and formed a large-scale "edge" shelter forest and grass belt with a length of 350 kilometers and a width of 3 to 20 kilometers on the eastern and southeastern edges of the Tengger Desert, and the "Alxa model" of desertification control has been effectively promoted. A number of models of the times have emerged in the whole alliance, such as Jiang Fuli, Zhang Kuibi, Liu Hongyi, Su He, the "model of the times", and Tububatu, the "advanced individual of the China Ecological Civilization Award". At present, a "three-in-one" ecological governance pattern of fencing, aerial seeding afforestation and artificial afforestation has been formed, and the ecological environment of the whole Union has been effectively improved, and the natural vegetation has been able to recuperate. The people of Alxa deeply practice the development concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", and comprehensively launch the natural forest protection project in the Helan Mountain Nature Reserve, focusing on the ecological protection and construction goals of Helan Mountain, highlighting resource management, ecological restoration, scientific research and monitoring, protecting wild animal and plant resources and their habitats to the greatest extent, maintaining the balance of forest ecosystems, and maintaining the authenticity and integrity of natural ecosystems. Today's Helan Mountain, the forest area has increased from 36 in the past80,000 acres increased to 5820,000 acres, forest coverage rate by 316% to 573%ï¼›Wild Animals Rock Sheep by 160,000 increased to more than 50,000.
In the vast land of Alxa, cadres and people of all ethnic groups insisted on defending the land and fulfilling their responsibilities, gathered strength to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the borders of the motherland, integrated the character of the times of perseverance and dedication into the overall pattern of "Northern Xinjiang Culture", and worked together to write the moving deeds of guarding the border and strengthening the border, and jointly depicted a new picture of the desert in the new era of border tranquility, ethnic unity and social stability.
The dream of space is realized here.
