The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee changes in the field of economic life

Found so far, as early as 4 ~ 15,000 years ago, mankind has been in Shizuishan this piece of ancient land to flourish, creating a long culture. The Paleolithic cultural remains of Shui Dong Gou in the southern boundary of Tao Le County, Ping Luo County, Nuanquan and Mingshui Lake, Yan Zidun in Huinong County, and the Neolithic cultural remains in Gaoren Town, Cheng Jiawan and Chahan Ridge in Tao Le County, as well as the early petroglyphs of Helan Mountain in Helan Mountain, etc., are reliable proofs of the fact that the human beings have flourished in this ancient land of Shizuishan since 4 to 50,000 years ago. From Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms to Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shizuishan has been a key border area for the imperial court. The Great Wall is winding through the territory, there are many ancient castles, and places of interest can be found everywhere, accumulating a heavy cultural hot spot for the present day people.

In the city's existing nearly one hundred cultural relics and sites of high historical and cultural value, there is a state-level protection of cultural heritage sites, autonomous regions and autonomous regions level protection of cultural relics and sites 14, municipal protection of cultural relics and sites 20, county and district level protection of cultural relics and sites 65. These cultural relics and sites are distributed in three counties and three districts under the city. Among them, there are 28 in Pingluo County, 16 in Huinong County, 17 in Taole County, 13 in Dawukou District, 8 in Shizuishan District and 3 in Shitanjing District. These cultural relics and sites in accordance with the different ages of examination, there are 4 prehistoric sites, 3 Paleozoic sites, 5 Neolithic sites, 6 Han Dynasty sites, 1 Qin Dynasty sites, 1 Song Dynasty sites, 24 Ming Dynasty sites, 13 Qing Dynasty sites, and 5 sites of modern times.

Into the 1990s, especially since the 21st century, Shizuishan gradually formed a tourism hotline, attracting more and more Chinese and foreign tourists. 2001 held a three-month cultural relics of Shizuishan City Joint Exhibition, the display of cultural relics of thousands of pieces of rock paintings of the Helan Mountains, the Xiheqiao fossilized paleontology, the Qin Dynasty bow and arrows, the plough in the Han Dynasty, pottery pots, copper mirrors in the Tang Dynasty, the Lotus Seat Buddha statue, the Western Xia bronze plate, copper bowl, copper The copper plate, copper bowl, copper beans, gilt Buddha, iron sword, iron incense burner in the Qing Dynasty, the porcelain of the Republic of China period, the historical relics of the early underground activities of the Chinese **** Producers' Party in the city territory as well as the newly developed tourist souvenirs such as Taixi coal carving, rock painting pottery, knife carving.

According to incomplete statistics, only from 2000 to 2001, the city **** received more than 1.75 million domestic and foreign tourists, total tourism revenue of more than 100 million yuan, of which 750,000 visitors in 2001, income of more than 40 million yuan.

Chapter I Prehistoric Culture?

Section I Paleolithic culture?

The twelfth year of the Republic of China (1923), the French paleontologist De Rijin in the Ordos region on the way to investigate the paleontology, in the Tao Le County, South and Lingwu junction of the water hole gully ancient found a site of ancient human activities. Later, after another French archaeologist step Riye on the water hole ditch site research, that is the Paleolithic human activity site.?

In 1959, the Sino-Soviet archaeologists jointly carried out a new excavation of the Shuitonggou site. China's famous archaeologist Jia Lanpo studied the material obtained, that the cultural era of the Shuitonggou site "placed in the Late Paleolithic period is more reliable.

In 1963, China's famous archaeologist Pei Wenzhong led the archaeological team to excavate and organize the Shuitonggou site once again, and found the late Paleolithic characteristics of the ostrich egg skin perforated decorations, bone cones made of animal pieces ground and the ashes of the fire. This shows that the people of Shuidonggou had mastered the techniques of drilling and grinding, could sew clothes with animal skins, could barbecue food with fire, and had developed a sense of beauty, beautifying themselves with round bead ornaments. These discoveries strongly prove that Mr. Jia Lanpo's inference is correct.

In 1980, the Ningxia Museum and the Geological Bureau jointly formed an excavation team to carry out another excavation and finishing of the ShuiDongGou site, in the excavation and research work, the use of geological landforms, lithic research, carbon 14 determination, sporoderm analysis, and other scientific means of determination, proved that the site is 40,000 ~ 27,000 years old, the ShuiDongGou site of the research work is greatly advanced a step forward.

Shuitonggou culture site excavated more types of stone tools, mainly with hard and fine siliceous chert, quartzite and flint beaten, the type of large and small, the shape is relatively fixed, some are divided into a variety of shapes, but also appeared in the composite tools. Niu Dasheng and Du Yubing, experts of the Ningxia Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, pointed out in their "Cultural Remains of Primitive Society in the Shizuishan Area" (Shizuishan Historical Records, No. 1, 1989), "The Shuitonggou originated in the territory of Lingwu County, and flowed into the Yellow River through the southern territory of Taole County. In the territory of Shizuishan City, stone tools similar to the Shuidonggou type have also been found. Therefore, as long as we do not stick to the present administrative division, the human beings in the Shuitonggou era are the earliest active human beings and the earliest culture in the Shizuishan area." ?

Section II Neolithic Culture ?

After the long Paleolithic Age, human beings entered the Neolithic Age about eight or nine thousand years ago. Neolithic cultural remains found in the Shizuishan area, mainly for the late Neolithic "fine stone culture". So far, they have been found in Nuanquan, Mingshuihu, and Jianquan in Pingluo County, Yanzidun in Huinong County, and Gaorenzhen, Chengjiawan, and Chahanzhi in Taole County, which are about six thousand years old. Most of these sites are chosen in the surrounding both grazing and hunting, but also to ensure that the human and animal drinking water needs of the site, the center of the residence is also equipped with a circular hearth for heating and cooking. From the site can be seen, the residents of this time has basically begun to settle down to live in a shallow cave roof houses can be sheltered from the wind and rain, the economic life is based on animal husbandry, hunting and collection of plant fruits. Production tools, in addition to beating stone tools, a large number of indirectly beating the manufacture of a variety of small stone tools, such as arrowheads, scrapers, etc., scrapers, there is a kind of shape as a nail-like round head scraper most, and the most refined. In addition, there are many narrow and long stone strips like willow leaves and various stone cores left over after the production of stone leaves. The stone arrowheads unearthed in Gao Ren Town have two shapes, one is made of flint, concave triangular, both 1.5 cm high, both sides are processed and organized by pressing method, thick in the middle of the vessel, thin around the periphery, sharp; the other is a long triangular shape, with a groove on each side of the near-bottom end, which is convenient for fixing the arrowheads with the arrow shafts, and it is the tool for hunting. The ancestors of the fine stoneware culture not only generally mastered the technology of grinding stone tools, thus making the edge of the stone tools smoother and sharper, and has mastered the technology of pottery, and pottery has colored pottery, ware shape has bowl, pot, bowl, pots, etc., the appearance of the reddish-brown, patterned with curved triangles and hooked leaves, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River region of the "yangshao culture" The style of colored pottery is relatively close to that of the Yangshao Culture in the upper Yellow River area. These phenomena show that the economic type of Shizuishan fine stoneware culture is based on primitive animal and hunting economy, and at the same time, it also has farming economy. Its social form, belongs to the matrilineal clan society, from the warm spring area is not big house site, as Xi'an half slope site, the main form of marriage should be dyadic marriage (a form of marriage outside the clan).

The third section of the Helan Mountain rock painting culture?

As early as the beginning of the sixth century AD, China's famous geographer Li Daoyuan has discovered and recorded the Helan Mountain, Yinshan and other areas of the rock paintings, until the 20th century 80's AD, Helan Mountain rock painting culture really attracted the world's attention.

Now in the city territory of the northern section of the Helan Mountains in the black stone mount, woods ditch, Xifeng ditch, leek ditch, back to the German ditch and other places have been found more than 2,000 petroglyphs. 1991, and successively in the city territory of the Helan Mountains in a number of petroglyphs found in more than 300. Among them, in 1995, May to July, in the Shicangjing District, Baitiangou two found colorful petroglyphs 24 groups of 105.?

These petroglyphs show the production life, primitive beliefs, customs, artistic aesthetic concepts and the natural landscape of that era of the petroglyphs' chiselers, and are a faithful record of the social history of that time. Petroglyphs to grind carving, chiseling, line carving method on the rock wall, boulders, the largest picture width of 2 meters, 1 meter high, the smallest width of 7 centimeters, 4 centimeters high, the subject matter of most of the animals, human figures, many petroglyphs continuously carved in the number of 10 meters, 100 to 200 meters long stone wall, constituting the ancient art of the "gallery". Petroglyph images of hunting, nomadic life and people's clothing, hair braids and animal images (cows, sheep, dogs, horses, camels, deer, rabbits, foxes, rhinoceroses, etc.). The largest number of them are sheep, especially goats, reflecting the important role of sheep in nomadic life. One of the pictures, "Picture of a Group of Mountain Goats", is 0.8 meters high and 0.64 meters wide, with a chiseling depth of about 1.5 millimeters, which can be called a masterpiece of the rock paintings in the Helan Mountains. The tiger petroglyphs in Daxifenggou are both in shape and in spirit, and are called "national treasures" by experts of the autonomous region, and are "works of broken generations". Helan Mountain petroglyphs show the method of single-line chiseling and carving, with concise and clear lines, and sometimes use exaggerated techniques to show the characteristics of goats with big horns and long bodies. In addition to the animal rock paintings, there are art works reflecting the economic life such as hunting, herding, riding and archery, etc., reflecting the religious life of the human face, dancing, praying, heavenly images, hand and foot prints, and so on. There are also some images of martial arts, armament, and heads in the rock paintings of Helan Mountain, reflecting the remnants of the war in Helan Mountain area at that time. Most of the bows held by the sculpted warriors are long bows, reflecting the riding and shooting life of the nomadic people. These petroglyphs have a simple and bold artistic flavor, and are treasures in the ancient art treasury of the Chinese nation. According to expert analysis, this batch of petroglyphs can be traced back to the late Paleolithic period.

It is worth noting that, according to paleogeographic research and archaeological proof, and Helan Mountain rock paintings close to the table earlier than the discovery and study of Helan Mountain rock paintings, Yinshan rock paintings of the chiseling of the upper limit, more than 10,000 years ago. In fact, from the Helan Mountain - Table Mountain - Yinshan generation has been unearthed prehistoric animal fossil species and the many similarities of the Paleolithic and Neolithic cultural remains to study, it can be seen that Helan Mountain - -It can be seen that prehistoric human beings lived and reproduced under similar natural conditions and led a hunting life in the riverside lakeside and the shady and wet area in front of the mountains along the Table Mountain - Yinshan. Therefore, not confined to the Helan Mountain petroglyphs themselves, with a systematic, linked vision of the Helan Mountain - Table Mountain - Yinshan early petroglyphs as a whole to examine, which will be one of the bases for tracing the upper limit of the early petroglyphs of the Helan Mountain.

Chapter 2: The Forms of Mountains and Rivers?

"Shizui Mountain, rice grain river, east by the Yellow River and west by the mountains ......"?

This realistic folk song, the image of Shizuishan, the Yellow River, Helan Mountain trinity, closely tied together.?

Yes, the lofty, precipitous Helan Mountain, like a giant out of nowhere, majestic, standing tall at the western border of Shizuishan, with its large body, blocking the Siberian cold and the Mongolian plateau of the desert storms, with its deep-rooted endless treasure, the benefit of Shizuishan, the benefit of the Great Northwest; and the Yellow River, the intelligent and intelligent Golden Dragon Jade Woman, into the city border, a change from its other roaring uncontrollable, the Yellow River, the Yellow River, the Yellow River, the Yellow River, the Yellow River, the Yellow River and the Yellow River. A change in its roaring and unruly personality, spiritually follow the ancient motto of "the Yellow River is rich in Ningxia", gently, stretching across the city, day and night to moisturize the mountains and rivers and the earth, watering ten thousand hectares of grain fields. ...... We can fully say that without Helan Mountains Without the Yellow River water there is no Shizuishan. Therefore, as soon as people mention Shizuishan, they will naturally think of the Yellow River and Helan Mountain.?

The first section Helan Mountain majestic hair?

Helan Mountain is north-south stretching nearly 200 kilometers, is the border between Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. Shizuishan within the Helan Mountain area is the northern end of the Helan Mountains and the eastern slope of the middle section, the highest peak of 3475.9 meters above sea level, an area of 1,347 square kilometers, accounting for the city's total land area of 30.24%.

Helan Mountain in the Western Han Dynasty, called "Pei移山". "Helan Mountain" first appeared in 636 A.D. book "Sui Book" Volume 74 "Zhao Zhongqing biography": "Kaihuang three years (583 years), Zhao Zhongqing attacked the Turks, and out of the Helan Mountain." According to this, Helan Mountain as the name of the mountain has a history of about 1400 years. As to why it is called "Helan Mountain", there are two main sayings. One is a series of 646 years in the "Book of Jin": before the Western Jin Dynasty, Helan Mountain to the far area for the Xianbei tribe, the Xiongnu tribe sphere of influence, to the Jin Emperor Wu Di, that is, to allow these minorities to relocate inward in the Taikang years (began in 280 years), belonging to the Xiongnu tribe of one of the 19 tribes of the "Helan Tribe", was admitted to the foot of the mountain and the nearby areas, the mountain will be to Helan Mountain"; one is written in 801 years of the Tang book "Tongdian": Helan peaks pale, green and white mottled, as far as the barge horse (barge horse that is the color of the horse), the Turkic language "barge horse" for "Huala", "Helan", "Huala", "Huala", "Huala", "Huala", "Huala", "Huala", "Huala" and "Huala". In Turkic language, "barge horse" is called "Huala", and "Helan" is the phonetic translation of "Huala" in Chinese, so Helan Mountain got its name for this reason. The Yuanhe County Atlas, written in 813, says of Helan Mountain: "The mountain has trees that are green and white and look like steeds. People in the north call the steed Helan", which is roughly the same as the interpretation of "Tongdian". Qing "read history FangYiJiYi" inherited on said: "Helan mountain in ningxia wei west 60 miles. The mountain is encircled for hundreds of miles, on which there are many green and white grasses, as seen from afar as a horse, and the northern people call the horse as Helan." Visible, in the minds of nomads, Helan Mountain is like a steed running on the vast grassland, is "the protection of the Shuo Fang, the throat of the desert. Since ancient times, Helan Mountain has been the centralized rule of our country under the border, for the soldiers must fight.

More than 2 billion years ago, the Helan Mountain area is a blue ocean trough. At that time, the uplift of the land through the wind and rain, stripped of a large number of clay sand particles, a steady stream of inputs to the ocean groove, after a long geological years of accumulation, the thickness of the deposition of more than 15,400 meters, see how deep the ancient sea of Shizui Mountain is bottomless! In more than a billion years ago, China's earth occurred a huge scale of mountain building movement. The ocean whistles, the earth sinks, Helan Mountain breaks out, leaps for the land, however, three or four hundred million years later, Helan Mountain and sunk for the sea. With the subsequent changes in the alternation of land and sea, to about 100 million years ago, the powerful geostress finally lifted the Helan Mountain. Interestingly, at that time, including today's Dawukou, including the entire Yinchuan Plain, the height of the uplift, even more towering than the Helan Mountain. This pattern was maintained for thousands of years, and then under the action of the Himalayan orogenic movement, Helan Mountain was able to "step up", Yinchuan Plain was "falling", and finally laid the Helan Mountain today, this kind of majestic hair of the abrupt mountain! ...

Helan Mountain in the earth tectonics, for the east and west of China's different nature, different structure, different physical and chemical characteristics, different thickness of the crustal block of the seam zone; natural geography, it divides the temperate desert and temperate desert grassland, monsoon climate zone and non-monsoon climate zone, but also outflow watersheds and inward watersheds watersheds; agrarian geography, it is the boundary between the semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas and the pure pastoral areas. Agricultural geography, it is the boundary between semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas and pure pastoral areas. Therefore, Helan Mountain is a very important geographical boundary mountain in China.

Before the 1950s, Li Siguang, a famous scientist in China, noticed Helan Mountain. From a geological point of view, the significance of Helan Mountain far exceeds its magnificence. Along the direction of the north-south extension of Helan Mountain, there appeared the Liupan Mountains and the Qinling Mountains that stretched across the east and west, stretching more than 2,000 kilometers, constituting a general view of the huge mountain traces showing a north-south direction. It is like a long dragon, lying in the Central Plains, China's land is divided into the east and west of the obvious differences between the two parts, as if the earth's "wounds" of the suture line. Therefore, here concentrated more than one-sixth of the country's major earthquakes.

Helan Mountain, the sea and land alternation of the history of change, the formation of many different eras of sedimentary rocks, therefore, today's Shizuishan has industrial value of minerals, almost all are sedimentary mineralization, that is to say, is the product of exogenous mineralization. Especially the three ancient "coal-making movement", for the Shizuishan people have accumulated reserves of 2.066 billion tons of coal resources. Not only that, it has been proved that Helan Mountain also contains iron, copper, aluminum, gold, titanium, zirconium and other six kinds of metal minerals, as well as silica, mica, limestone, clay and other mineral resources. Therefore, since ancient times, people have been called Helan Mountain as "holy mountain", "treasure mountain" - its ancient geological structure, rich and endless mineral resources, lofty and craggy lofty appearance, forests, lush natural forests, and divine forests. Lush natural forest sea, God line both Helan Mountain petroglyphs ...... generously for the people of Shizuishan brought together a brilliant as a group of stars chewing the vast and profound Helan Mountain culture!

Historically, Helan Mountain is the intersection of our country's farming and nomadic peoples, often becoming an important barrier to the Central Plains. There are many valleys in the Helan Mountain within the city, and the larger valleys on the east slope are Dashugou, Ruqi Gou, Guitou Gou, Dawukou Gou, Dawangquan Gou, Hongguozi Gou, and Zhengyi Guan Gou, etc. There are more than 30 valleys, among which Dawukou Gou is deep in the hinterland of the Helan Mountain, and it's a natural passage from Yinchuan Plains to Alashan Plateau in Inner Mongolia. These many ditches and valleys are usually the main trade and transportation routes, and in wartime is the military stronghold of the soldiers. Ancient northern nomads, including Xiongnu, Uheng, Xianbei, Qiang, Zojiran, Turkic, migratory birds, Tubo, Danghang, Mongolia and other nationalities have stayed here to graze their livestock, living and reproducing, and created a splendid ancient national culture, but also left a wealth of historical relics. Ancient petroglyphs carved on the cliffs of Helan Mountain are an important part of this splendid culture and historical remains. Nowadays, the ancient Great Wall and beacon towers winding up the mountain are still standing in the empty valley and wilderness, reminding people of Yue Fei's poem "Driving a long car, stepping through the Helan Mountain" and Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei's poem "Formations under the Helan Mountain are like clouds, and diatribes are heard day and night". The poem was written by Lu Rupil in the poem "And Li Xiuzhu". Lu Rupi in the "and Li Xiucai border court when the complaint" four wrote: "new wind blowing snow through the knife scar, drinking horse Great Wall cave more cold, midnight fire know that there is an enemy, a moment all to protect Helan Mountain." In this place where soldiers had to fight, the generals rose up to fight in the harsh natural environment, and the common enemy's temperament was vividly shown in this poem. On the eve of liberation, Guo Shuanzi (Guo Yongsheng), the leader of the largest bandit gang in northern Ningxia, was annihilated by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in October, 1950, after he had been entrenched in the mountains by virtue of the dangers of the Helan Mountains and called himself the "King of the Helan Mountains", and resisted. This adds a mysterious color to the majestic and steep Helan Mountain.

Helan Mountain has a great variety of plants, when the summer and fall, the mountain flowers, mountain fruits hanging full of branches. According to statistics, the city boundary of Helan Mountain has a natural tree forest of 3600 hectares, with Qinghai fir, oil pine, juniper, gray elm, poplar, etc., the Department of water conservation forest. There are 665 kinds of wild plants, 4 kinds of rare plants, which are listed as national second and third level protected plants, and 3 kinds of endemic or quasi-endemic plants in Helan Mountain. Among them, there are few in the world, our country is only seen in Shizuishan "four wood", is born in ten thousand years, known as "cultural relics in the fossil, plants in the giant panda", very rare, became Shizuishan's "national treasure! It is very rare and has become a "national treasure" of Shizuishan, and has been listed as a national second-grade protected plant. Wild medicinal plants **** 308 species, the main medicinal plants 32 species.?

Helan Mountain is still a paradise for wild animals, there are 216 species of wild vertebrates in 5 orders and 30 catalogs and 84 families. Among them, there are 20 species of beasts, 153 species of birds, 11 species of amphibious reptiles, 32 species of fish. There are 51 species of major economic animals, belonging to the national protection of the first and second class precious and rare animals 17 species.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Helan Mountain was rejuvenated once again and was listed as one of the national key nature reserves.?

Throughout the ages, Helan Mountain has defended the ancient and young Shizuishan with its majestic and mighty body with the times.?

The second section of the Yellow River water Congling Tonghui?

The history of the Yellow River in Shizuishan, although not as ancient as Helan Mountain, but also about two million years. According to ancient geographic research shows that as early as 12 million years ago, the city's western border of the Helan Mountains further sharp rise, the east of the Ordos Plateau also slowly uplifted, the middle of the fall into a broken depression basin. About three million years ago, Yinchuan Basin became a vast lake. Later, with the change of tectonic movement of the earth's crust, the watershed was cut into a canyon, which opened the way out of the lake, and the flood water in the basin flowed, and the original Yellow River appeared here. During the Middle Pleistocene, the Yellow River completed the connection between the upper and lower full rivers and flowed eastward into the plains. The Yellow River was basically close to its present form in the Middle and Late Pleistocene.

Shizuishan is a place of great talent and great wealth. Do not see since ancient times on the Xing temperament fierce, flooding "yellow scourge" (Yellow River), since the entry of Ningxia, especially after the city border, suddenly understanding to become tame, docile, gentle, ripples. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty, the third expedition Gerdan road through the Hengcheng ferry, had a feeling of poetry said: "all the border mountains and then cross the river, the sand flat bank broad water without waves, soup south to labor dredging building, only this divided canal Li Li Lai more." In fact, Hengcheng Ferry is the city of Tao Le County South and Lingwu bordering the Huangsha ancient ferry. Folk has always been "the Yellow River, only a set of rich", "the world's Yellow River rich Ningxia" said.

The Yellow River from the south to the north from Taole County, near the Great Wall of Mingdong entry, through Taole, Pingluo, Huinong, to the exit of the Shizuishan District, in the city territory of the total length of 146.9 kilometers, the average runoff of 30.1 billion cubic meters per year, the average flow of the peak period of the flood is 3,440 cubic meters / second, the average flow of the dry period is 491 cubic meters / second.?

The water of the Yellow River nourishes the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups in Shizuishan on both sides of the Yellow River. "Because of the canal to irrigate, water pounding, river trough, with less effort to save, and the army food spare enough." So that the land near the desert of the city land, and therefore become "Jiangnan water town" "rice grain river". Not only that, on both sides of the Yellow River, "the village mostly live in fishing industry". Because of the city of the Yellow River is gentle, the city ditches and canals, ponds, lakes, shoals scattered, many water and river communication, for the development of fisheries to create a superior place. 1981 ~ 1983, the autonomous region of fisheries survey team on the territory of the Yellow River cross-section of the waters and the forward lake waters and other survey tests, the territory of the natural fish there are 22 kinds of fish, which has the fishery value of the economy of the carp, crucian carp, copperheads, catfish, yarrow fish and red-eye trout. The Yellow River is also home to the Yellow River Catfish, which is famous for its Golden Carp and Yellow River Catfish.

The love of the Yellow River is charming and delicate, and the scenery of the Yellow River changes three times a day. In the morning sunlight, the Yellow River water jumps with magnificent flames, steaming and inspiring. At noon, under the blue sky and white clouds, the Gobi, the Yellow River, the two companions, the majestic and magnificent into the eyes, people are depressed a sweep, open-minded broad. In the evening, along with the Yellow River on both sides of the curling smoke, "desert smoke, the Yangtze River sunset round", the brilliant evening sunlight dyed all over the sparkling river, with the shroud of the night, people think galloping, daydreaming for thousands of miles. "A benevolent man loves the mountains, a wise man enjoys the water". In the urban clamor of today, the empty valley of the quiet Helan Mountains, broad and magnificent prairie, the rushing waters of the Yellow River ...... here is the original ecological tourist realm, here is to identify the ancient and modern cultural purgatory.

"Ice solving river open to twilight spring, the boatman physiology take advantage of this morning. The earth kiln porcelain through the Ningxia, stone charcoal even ship lack of waterfront." Since ancient times, the Yellow River water transportation is very prosperous, large boats and small boats, such as shuttle. Ming and Qing dynasties, Shizuishan ancient ferry is the Yellow River on the famous ports of commerce. 1697 Qing Emperor Kangxi personally conquered Gerdan away from the Ningxia return to the capital, by the Hengcheng ferry boat along the Yellow River waterway north into the city, via Yaofu Fort (now Yao Fu), Liu Mu River west bank, the west bank of the Gorge River, whistle horse camp (now Huinong County, under the Yingziang township), the southwest of the Shizuizi (now Shizuishan District) and so on, and in the above places to stay overnight, accompanied by the driving ship 101, of which 3 building boats, officials and guards in 96 boats, 2 horse-carrying boats. It is clear that the Yellow River water transportation in Shizuishan was developed at that time. in the late 1950s, when the country developed coal resources in Shizuishan, many mechanical equipments were loaded from Lanzhou in the upstream and transported to Shizuishan by the Yellow River waterway. after the opening of the Baolan Railway in 1958, the long-distance river transportation was reduced accordingly, and the Yellow River water transportation was dominated by the short-distance and ferries. after the opening of the Yellow River Bridge in 1988, the ancient ferry of Shizuishan was discharged from the army, but the Yellow River ferry between Pingluo and Taole was still in service. The Yellow River ferry between Pingluo and Taole is still there, which has become a wonderful place for people to feel the flavor of the Yellow River by boat. In recent years, the boat tour of the Yellow River and gradually become fashionable, even the ancient "Hun Tuo" (sheepskin raft) also with the foreign tourists of the western adventure and enjoy floating in the Yellow River water. The wild, thrilling, lifelong impression.

The Yellow River, the cradle of the Chinese nation, the endless mother river!

The Yellow River, the cradle of the Chinese nation, the mother river of life!
