**The general secretary stressed that it is necessary to vigorously and effectively promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside to accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and better promote the Chinese-style modernization. In recent years, Haishu District of Ningbo City has fully implemented the decision-making and deployment of the provincial and municipal party committees on the "three rural" work, accurately grasped the logic of rural development, adhered to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, continued to deepen the "ten million project" in the new era, explored diversified paths such as water conservancy, ecology, science and technology, sports, and art, and accurately empowered rural revitalization.
Water conservancy" empowers rural revitalization and makes happiness ripple in rivers and lakes. **The general secretary stressed that to promote Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to take into account the issue of water resources, determine the city with water, determine the land with water, determine people with water, and determine production with water, and develop water-saving industries. Rural revitalization is closely related to water conservancy, and the realization of rural revitalization is inseparable from the support and guarantee of water conservancy. Especially for the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, water conservancy empowers rural revitalization has unique advantages, which can promote the masses to take the initiative to protect the water environment, promote the iteration of "beautiful rivers and lakes" to "happy rivers and lakes", and form an atmosphere of "from water to environment, from environment to industry, from industry to people", so that people in the city have a good place to go and people in the village have a good income. For example, Haishu co-ordinated the governance of water resources, water environment, and water ecology, starting from water control, implementing the global water control action, and then developing the waterfront economy, creating a water boutique line for the integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism, and connecting rural scenic spots such as rice fields and flowers, train coffee, and space agriculture along the line, and absorbing fishermen from fishery societies as line crews, driving employment of more than 500 people in 2023, and increasing per capita monthly income by about 3,000 yuan.
"Ecology" empowers rural revitalization and allows green to flow in the mountains and forests. **The general secretary stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the red line of ecological protection, promote the acceleration of the appreciation of rural natural capital, and make good ecology the support point of rural revitalization. Ecological resource endowment is not only the best gift of nature, but also the greatest confidence for rural revitalization. Playing the ecological advantage card and taking the road of green development can realize the organic unity of ecological beauty and people's prosperity. How to "turn green into gold"? The key is to find the specific path to broaden the conversion channel of the "two mountains", through the guidance and participation of villagers, transform ecological resources into brand resources, project resources and industrial resources, build a value realization mechanism for ecological products, explore GEP accounting and carbon sink trading, and make "lucid waters and lush mountains" become the "happy real estate" of the people. For example, Haishu has formed the transformation practice of "Two Mountains" with the theme of biodiversity conservation, hosted the theme activity of national biodiversity-friendly cities, made a typical speech at the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity held in Montreal, Canada, carried out forestry carbon sink trading, and iterated biodiversity 2Version 0. Longguan Township has become the country's first "biodiversity-friendly township" pilot project, and is currently actively docking with the Ningbo Botanical Garden (Haishu Mountain Garden) project, focusing on the development of large plant industry and driving the rural revitalization of Siming Mountain.
Science and technology "empower rural revitalization and let value bloom in the countryside." ** The general secretary stressed the need to "put the development of agricultural science and technology in a more prominent position". The key to agricultural modernization lies in the modernization of agricultural science and technology. Agricultural science and technology innovation is not only the fundamental driving force for agricultural progress, but also an important means to promote rural revitalization. By strengthening the support of agricultural science and technology, applying scientific and technological elements to the key links of agricultural production, promoting agricultural mechanization and intelligence, providing technical support for large grain growers, and realizing "machine substitution" in the agricultural field, it can not only improve agricultural production efficiency and the quality of agricultural products, but also reduce production costs and enhance agricultural competitiveness. For example, Haishu takes the only field planting digital agriculture project in East China as a pilot to create an application scenario of "planting brain + future farm", driving the cultivation of germplasm in the whole region and increasing industrial income, forming a "five towns and five most" agricultural brand matrix such as "cherry blossoms can be eaten" and "koi fish can be appreciated". The labor force in rice production was reduced by 30% and the water was saved by 10%, and the yield of "Yongyou 31" super hybrid rice per mu was as high as 1,020 kg, successfully breaking the record of Ningbo that had been sealed for 11 years and creating a provincial-level demonstration park for the integrated development of rural industries.
"Sports" empowers rural revitalization and makes people surging outdoors. **The general secretary emphasized that it is necessary to promote the high-quality development of the sports industry and continuously meet the demand for sports consumption. In recent years, outdoor sports such as cycling, camping, and skateboarding have quickly "come out of the circle", which are widely welcomed by consumers, and have also ushered in a good opportunity for sports to empower rural revitalization. In fact, there is no shortage of outdoor sports venues and facilities in rural areas, but there is no path to the integrated development of agricultural sports. Therefore, "sports +" can be used as a catalyst to effectively revitalize the sleeping resources in rural areas, develop outdoor sports products, create outdoor sports consumption scenarios with rural characteristics, enhance the popularity of rural areas with trendy sports projects, drive rural popularity, attract consumers to check in, and convert "traffic" into "retention". For example, Haishu revitalized rural idle space resources such as factories in Shenxi Village, Jishigang Town, built a pump-track "flying bird" cycling sports park, and prospered various formats such as homestays and farm stays, with an annual tourist reception volume of more than 300,000 people, and the village's collective agricultural and cultural tourism income increased by 3 times year-on-year.
"Art" empowers rural revitalization and allows the spirit to be planted in the countryside. **The general secretary stressed that the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy should focus on material civilization and spiritual civilization together, and pay special attention to improving the spiritual outlook of farmers. The countryside should not only be shaped, but also cast the soul, and there is a lot to be done in the revitalization of the countryside through art. On the one hand, from the perspective of "shape", we should use art to light up the countryside, continue the cultural texture of the village, retain the original natural form of the village, and combine the combing transformation of the village to create a number of folk museums, so that the countryside can retain the charm and nostalgia of the countryside. For example, Haishu has vigorously built an urban cultural and museum area, and 17 distinctive folk museums have emerged, such as the Du Ao Art Museum and the Longyouzhu Cultural Museum. On the other hand, from the perspective of "soul", we should deepen the construction of artistic rural areas, enrich the spiritual experience of the masses, let the masses enjoy a higher quality of spiritual and cultural life, and stimulate the internal vitality of rural revitalization. For example, we insist on letting art go from the palace to the public, and hold a wealth of literary and artistic activities in the countryside to continuously meet the spiritual needs of the masses. In 2022, Haishu was selected as the first batch of pilot areas in the province to "promote the spiritual prosperity of the people".
Through practical exploration, we have more deeply realized that rural revitalization cannot be "patted on the head", and only by asking the people can it be for the people. Rural revitalization, farmers are the main body, we must respect the wishes of farmers in the key position, improve the whole process of farmers' participation mechanism, open up the way, collect public opinion, gather people's wisdom, stimulate farmers' enthusiasm to participate, so that rural construction is truly built for the people, and rural revitalization is truly for the people. Rural revitalization cannot be "the same", and only by adapting measures to local conditions can we share the beauty and beauty. Rural revitalization should be based on the industrial base, geographical features, and cultural characteristics of villages, and in accordance with the principle of comparative advantage, deeply excavate and develop rural convertible resources, promote the differentiated and specialized development of rural areas, and graft and introduce new elements and new kinetic energy, so as to realize the efficient transformation from resources to assets. Rural revitalization cannot be "confined to a corner", and only through openness and integration can it be stable and far-reaching. Rural revitalization is a systematic project, not on agriculture, on the countryside, on farmers on farmers, we must be based on the overall situation, break the boundaries, through ecology, sports, art and other IP empowerment, cultivate ecological agricultural products, tourism and health care and other new business formats, realize the upgrading of the whole chain of rural industries, and provide reliable support for farmers to continue to increase their income.
