In the sixties and seventies of the last century, our country arose".Agricultural DazhaiWith the core spirit of "self-reliance and hard work", this movement became the national spirit of the country at that time. Seventeen years of "learning from Dazhai" movement has made our countryRuralWith a new look, it is an active attempt and exploration. However, after the reform and opening up, why was this 17-year-long study movement finally canceled? The most critical problem here is the disproportionality between the inputs and the benefits. A large number of image projects have consumed considerable manpower and financial resources, resulting in labor and loss of money, which is not in line with the lawRuralNew developments. Nowadays, it has been pointed out that many water conservancy facilities have been abandoned after the abolition of separate farming. Take a closer look at those that are abandonedHydraulic engineering, almost all of them are large-scale, towering drainage and irrigation stations and other water diversion facilities. In the construction of these projects, a lot of labor and financial resources were consumed, involving the labor force of the whole county, the whole township and the whole village, and the construction period was also several years. However, once these projects are completed and put into use, the actual utilization rate is extremely low, and some are even shelved after only two or three uses. One of the big reasons was the lack of electricity**, especially at the timeRuralWhen power resources are extremely scarce; Another reason is that the design ignores the problem of water flow, and a single pumping can even lead to the depletion of the river, causing dissatisfaction and ** of downstream residents.
For the study of the Dazhai periodRuralFor the construction of the project, administrative units at all levels must arrange a large-scale village project every year, involving the construction of terraced fields, water conservancy facilities, reservoirs, river embankments, highways, and so on. The more difficult and large-scale these projects are, the more spectacular they are perceived. Several months of the year are devoted to the construction of these works. The construction site was a busy scene, red flags were flying, revolutionary songs were heard from the loudspeakers, and the laborers were sweating like rain, which was moving and passionate. At the same time, however, the benefits of these large farms are very limited. The quality of the land is poor, it is not possible to irrigate, and wheat is grownCornThe effect of other food crops is not ideal, and we can only barely grow some miscellaneous grains. What's more, the returns of some projects are even unacceptably low, and they are not at all proportional to the manpower and material resources invested, and the gains outweigh the losses. So, with the end of ***, everywhereFarmersThere was a growing resistance to this extremely onerous project, especially some excessively left-leaning behaviors, such as the construction of terraces on the plains and the digging of canals on cliffsFarmersI felt very disgusted. Every time I participate in the Dazhai projectFarmersThey all feel extremely tired, injuries and sacrifices happen from time to time, and although "dare to change the sun and the moon" sounds heroic, too much repetition also makes people tired. By the eighties, withRuralEconomyThe construction was fully launched, combined with the new situation, after first-class investigation and researchAgricultureThe university was eventually cancelled. Despite the fact that ".Agricultural DazhaiIt has become history, but the spirit of self-reliance and hard work contained in it will forever be engraved in the blood of the Chinese nation. Even if the activities in Dazhai stopped, this form of labor continued throughout the 80s, and the townships and towns would still organize some small watershed control projects and farmland water conservancy infrastructure projects every yearFarmersParticipate in the workforce.
in the cancellation".Agricultural Dazhai"After that, many massivelyHydraulic engineeringThe actual utilization rate is also gradually exposed. Traditionally, during the Xuedazhai period, the large-scale drainage and irrigation stations built were powerful, and each pumping required a large amount of electricityRuralIt is generally faced with the dilemma of insufficient electricity. At the same time, the design often ignores the problem of water flow, resulting in a rapid drop in the water level of the river during the pumping process, giving the water to the coastal residentsPeople's livelihoodLife and production bring troubles. For example, a secondary drainage and irrigation station with a lift of more than 100 meters was built in a mountain village, which took two years to be completed by the entire township labor force, mainly for irrigating the land of several villages on the mountain, and after the construction was completed, it was abandoned after only three or four uses. The main reason is that each pumping consumes a huge amount of electricity, which is difficult for several brigades to afford; Each pumping of water leads to the interruption of the downstream river, and the water level of nearby wells drops, leading to a lack of water in villages along the river, and even causing complaints from residents.
In the construction process of Dazhaitian, huge manpower and material resources were invested, but the maintenance cost gradually appeared with the passage of time. The quality of the land is poor, it cannot be effectively irrigated, and the results of planting crops are poor, and the benefits are minimal. Some large Zhaitian even became ornaments, with huge inputsLaborwithEconomycost comparison simply cannot be formedCost-effective。Growing some grains has become the only option, and the grain yield is low and the quality is inferior. The maintenance costs of large-scale projects are also increasing, and with the aging and frequent occurrence of damage to facilities, the maintenance costs are getting higher and higher, while the actual utilization rate is far less than expected. Therefore, in the long-term operation, these large-scale projects have become a heavy burden, not only costing people and money, but also a great waste of resources.
Agricultural DazhaiAt that time, he actively explored and tried to reform through laborRuralLook, liftFarmersproduction conditions, but with the times changed andRuralThe trend has changed, and this long-term investment, inefficient return approach has become no longer applicable. With the advancement of reform and opening up,EconomyThe need for structural adjustment has gradually become prominentRuralEconomyConstruction is also facing new challenges. The traditional large-scale engineering construction methods can no longer meet the needs of modern society, and the problems of resource waste and environmental damage are prominent, so it is urgent to change the development mode and promote sustainabilityAgricultural development
Despite the fact that ".Agricultural DazhaiThe movement has ended, but the national spirit of self-reliance and hard struggle has been retained to this day. This spirit has been deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese nation and has become a source of strength that inspires people to struggle. In today's society, in the face of new development situations and challenges, this spirit is still the support for us to move forward. Self-reliance and hard work are the enduring spiritual strength and indispensable qualities in our pursuit of a better life.
