Base Facilities

Wu Qisu is known as "Tibet" in northern Shaanxi. It has poor natural conditions, weak infrastructure, and low ability to withstand nature. In order to change the face of backward infrastructure, the hard-working and pragmatic Wu Qi people, under the leadership of the county party committee and county leaders, have made arduous efforts. The current infrastructure "bottleneck" has been initially improved.

New ecologically civilized cities in mountainous areas are being built.

Economic Construction

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wuqi, like other counties in northern Shaanxi, has long followed the traditional agricultural production method of over-cultivation and overgrazing, opening up large areas of wasteland for farming and grazing in the mountains. , leading to the continued degradation of forest and grass vegetation, frequent natural disasters, overwhelmed ecological environment, slow economic development in the county, and very poor people's lives.

If you are poor, you will want to change. Harsh natural conditions and painful historical lessons forced the people of Wuqi to make new choices.

The people of Wuqi have made arduous exploration and practice on how to achieve the harmonious development of ecology, economy, man and nature while developing the economy. In 1998, we seized the historical opportunity of the country's return of farmland to forests and the development of the western region, made advanced decisions, and took the lead in the country to implement the closure of mountains and grazing, livestock raising, return of farmland to forests, planting trees and grass, and started the process of returning farmland to forests in advance. Engineering has gained a head start in development. While focusing on ecological construction and developing rural economy, the pace of industrial economic development led by oil has been accelerated, and the county economy has achieved considerable development.

Since 2003, in order to promote the extraordinary and leap-forward development of Wuqi's economy, the new county party committee and county government have adhered to the important thinking of "Three Represents" as a guide and conscientiously implemented the 16th and 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In the spirit of the Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the Sixth Central Committee, we adhere to the ideological line of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, and advancing with the times, firmly establish and conscientiously implement the scientific outlook on development, regard accelerating development as the first priority to enrich the people and strengthen the county, and persist in advancing Development, innovation in development, sublimation in innovation, re-adjustment and improvement of economic and social development ideas. Established and implemented the development strategy of "establishing the county ecologically, developing the county industrially, strengthening the county industrially, driven by opening up, driven by cities and towns, and driven by projects", emphasizing the construction of beautiful mountains and rivers and infrastructure, accelerating the development of petroleum and agricultural industries, expanding opening up to the outside world, and letting go Develop the non-public economy, coordinate agriculture and industry, link up urban and rural areas, promote "three modernizations" simultaneously, and promote the overall development to comprehensively build a well-off society and an economically strong county in the west.

Through the concerted efforts of the whole county, pioneering and innovative, tenacious struggle, and hard work, the county's economy and social undertakings have entered the fastest and best development period since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In 2004, the county achieved a GDP of 917.95 million yuan, an increase of 21.6% over the same period last year and an increase of 86.5% compared with the end of the "Ninth Five-Year Plan"; of which the added value of the primary industry was 182.47 million yuan, the added value of the secondary industry was 493.03 million yuan, and the added value of the tertiary industry was 493.03 million yuan.

According to data from the National County Economy Basic Competitiveness Evaluation Center, the county’s county economy has improved rapidly among the top 100 counties (cities) in the country, ranking 39th, and its competitiveness has risen to E-level.

Afforestation

In 1998, in active response to the spirit of the Party Central Committee’s instructions to “rebuild a northwest region with beautiful mountains and rivers”, we established the policy of “closing mountains and returning farmland, planting trees and grass, raising sheep, The reverse development strategy of "led by forestry and animal husbandry, strengthening agriculture and enriching the people" achieved the overall closure goal of the county by the end of that year. In 1999, 1.555 million acres of farmland were returned to farmland at one time, and the project of returning farmland to forest was the first to be launched. Since the change of office in 2003, we have continued to improve our work ideas and put forward the guiding ideology of "ecological county establishment" to further consolidate the results of returning farmland to forests, actively improve work measures, and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of ecological governance. At present, the county has completed a total of 2.3079 million acres of converted farmland to forests (1.555 million acres of farmland converted to forests, 752,900 acres of barren hills afforestation), of which 1.6507 million acres of converted farmland to forests has been confirmed by the state (897,800 acres of converted farmland has been managed, and farmers 8.5 acres per capita), involving 12 towns, 164 villages, 1,110 villager groups, and 22,876 households with 105,426 people.

According to the national subsidy standards for converting farmland to forest, our county can enjoy food subsidies, living subsidies, and seedling fees equivalent to nearly RMB 1.3 billion, with an average per capita of more than 10,000 yuan and an annual average of 1,300 yuan. It is one of the more than 150 counties (cities) nationwide that have converted farmland to forest. , district) is one of the counties with the earliest retreat, the fastest recovery, the largest area, and the most benefits for the people. The county has completed a total of 1,271 square kilometers of comprehensive water and soil erosion control area. The control degree has increased from 39.7 in 1997 to 52.4. The annual soil erosion modulus has dropped from 15,300 tons/square kilometers in 1997 to 5,400 tons/square kilometers. The coverage rate has increased from 19.2 to 62.9, and some key watershed management areas have achieved the goal of preventing floods from going down mountains and preventing soil from leaving ditches. Nowadays, walking around the Wuqi mountains and rivers, you can see the beautiful scenery of "green mountains full of green mountains, birds flying and rabbits leaping". On the latest EOS satellite remote sensing map, Wuqi's administrative division map has shown a green outline, forming a clear contrast with surrounding Gansu, Ningxia, Yulin and other places. At the same time, it has also completely changed the production and lifestyle of more than 100,000 farmers in the county, liberating the majority of farmers from traditional hard work. Since 2003, we have timely shifted the focus of ecological environment construction to consolidating and expanding the results of returning farmland to forest and promoting the transformation of ecological advantages into economic advantages. In accordance with the ideas of improving work measures, improving the quality of governance and developing ecological economy, we have further increased the intensity of ecological construction and protection by starting from improving replanting, optimizing forest structure, and strengthening forest and grass management. First, insist on replanting and improving, and strive to consolidate the results of governance. In view of the actual situation of returning farmland to forest and large areas of barren hills and slopes in the county, we focus on replanting and improving, and conscientiously implement the "four household" measures: that is, decomposing management tasks to each household, implementing subsidy policies to each household, and clarifying forest and grass property rights to each household. , Implement management and protection responsibilities to each household, effectively accelerating the process of forest and grass cover. In 2004, 195,000 acres of new forest were planted, 146,000 acres were replanted, 60,000 acres of abandoned farmland were reclaimed, 1.4557 million acres of young forests were cultivated, and more than 3.6 million trees were planted. The second is to optimize the forest structure and comprehensively improve the quality of forest and grass construction. In line with the principles of taking both economy and ecology into consideration, quilt and ticket together, and combining the immediate and the long-term, we have intensified the adjustment of forest structure, implemented three-dimensional construction of trees, shrubs, and grasses, mixed apricot and sand poplar, and multi-modal development. Mix multiple tree species, strive to create ecological and economical composite forests, and continuously improve the quality of forest and grass construction. The third is to strengthen forest and grass management and protection and effectively protect the construction results. Adhere to the principle of paying equal attention to construction and management, strictly implement the "Implementation Measures for Forestry and Grassland Management and Protection", improve the forestry and grassland management and protection teams at the county, township, village and group level, and implement the "three bans and three defenses" (grazing ban and logging ban). , reclamation ban, fire prevention, rabbit prevention, pest control) as the main content of management and protection, the management and protection responsibilities at all levels have been consolidated, and the results of the closure have been further consolidated. Since 1998, it has been identified by the State Forestry Administration, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Finance and other ministries and commissions as the "National Pilot Demonstration County for Converting Farmland to Forests", "National Advanced County for Afforestation", "National Advanced County for Water Conservation and Ecological Environment Construction", "National Forestry Construction Standardization Demonstration County", "National Soil and Water Conservation Advanced Collective" and "National Pilot County Combining Conversion of Farmland to Forest and Poverty Alleviation and Development Work".

Folk Song and Dance

The Iron Whip Dance originated in the early Song Dynasty. At that time, Wu Qi's territory was occupied by Xixia Tuoba, a party of Xixia. It was called Dingbian County (today's Tiebian Town), and a Queen of Xixia was once stationed there (it is said that there is a queen's tomb here). In order to strengthen the border defense, the queen recruited troops and horses for day and night training, and created a set of iron whip formations, which repeatedly defeated the invaders. Because of the majesty and variety of the formation, it gradually spread among the people and formed a folk square dance for farmers to welcome returning soldiers with honors and to celebrate the harvest. In 1997, after the collection, arrangement and excavation by the business cadres of Wuqi County Cultural Center, the iron whip dance gradually matured. The main props of the iron whip dance include whip and shield. The performance scene is quite grand, and the number of participants can be as many as hundreds. The dance combines martial arts, dance, and northern Shaanxi Yangko. When performed, the shield and whip strike each other to make bursts of sound. It is extremely powerful, vigorous, hard and soft, with ups and downs, and is full of sound and color. It highlights the strong sense of movement and distinctive rhythm of the characters in the dance dynamics and image creation, making the dance style contain an intense, jubilant, unrestrained and rich charm, which makes people have infinite associations and aesthetic feelings. It condenses the struggle of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and expresses the honest, optimistic, simple and generous temperament of Wu Qi. It is filled with the unique masculinity of men in the Yellow Land and the heroic spirit of daring to overcome all difficulties, inspiring the people to move forward bravely and strive for the rise of the Chinese nation. Since its discovery and creation, the Iron Whip Dance has won performance awards in the city's small opera performances, and won the Outstanding Performance Award in the city's Yangko performances in 1998 and 1999.
