The origin of place names
Wuqi County was originally named Wuqi (2005- 10- 19) and officially renamed Wuqi (1935-10-19). The Central Red Army waded through mountains and rivers and experienced hardships, covering 1 1 provinces. Yesterday, Wuqi County in northern Shaanxi commemorated the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Central Red Army's Long March in Wuqi County. Yang Yongmao, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, attended the meeting and laid the foundation stone for the Long March Victory Monument. At the same time, Wuqi County was officially renamed Wuqi County.

In the deafening sound of firecrackers and fireworks, Wuqi County was officially renamed Wuqi County, and "China 0 Wuqi County Committee" and "Wuqi County People 0" were unveiled.
infrastructure
Wuqi Customs is called "Tibet" in northern Shaanxi, with poor natural conditions, weak infrastructure and low ability to resist nature. In order to change the backward appearance of infrastructure, industrious and pragmatic Wu Qiren, under the leadership of the county party committee, made strenuous efforts and the "bottleneck" of infrastructure was initially improved.
Highway facilities. Since 2003, our county has invested more than 300 million yuan to build 20 1.65 kilometers of new asphalt roads, 256 kilometers of fourth-class gravel roads in rural areas, 3 12 bridges and culverts, 780 kilometers of oil production roads and 452 kilometers of village roads. The highway mileage of the county has reached 1606.3 km, which has been realized. In 2004, road construction and maintenance won the first place in the city.
Electric power facilities. The construction of electric power automation project has been completed. Two 35KV substations will be built, rural power lines will be set up at 5 10.7km, and special production lines at 2 10km will be built for oil wells, brick factories and other enterprises. The lighting rate of farmers has reached more than 95%.
Communication facilities. Latong has a wired telephone line of 300 kilometers, and the total telephone capacity of cities (rural areas) in the county has reached more than 1 10,000, with a telephone penetration rate of 42.7% and a telephone penetration rate of 7.5 per 100 people. Mobile and Unicom base stations 102 were built, and Unicom and mobile base stations were built in all towns 12, and the mobile phone coverage rate reached 85%.
Radio and television facilities. The optical fiber network covering the whole county has been built, and the number of cable TV users has grown to 6,450, with a coverage rate of 20% and an urban coverage rate of 90%.

Since 2003, new farmland 1 10000 mu has been built, reaching 208000 mu, and 252 silt dams have been built, reaching 3 10, and 6800 wells have been drilled, thus solving the drinking water problem of 65000 people. Farmland water conservancy construction won the "Provincial Water Conservancy Promotion Cup" for three consecutive years. We will continue to accelerate the process of poverty alleviation and development, relocate 3,467 households 1 1295 people, and build 30 immigrant villages with relatively complete infrastructure. New energy construction in rural areas has developed rapidly, with 5,556 biogas digesters, 808 solar users and 5,950 energy-saving and firewood-saving stoves.
Urban construction facilities. Implement the strategy of promoting cities and towns and revise the overall planning of county towns. County planning area of 24.6 square kilometers, built-up area of 2.5 square kilometers. In accordance with the idea of "expanding eastward and westward, expanding southward and transforming northward", we will vigorously expand the built-up areas, complete 76 key urban construction projects, build 6 urban bridges and implement lighting projects. A clean, green, bright and beautiful new mountain ecological civilization city is under construction.
economic construction
After the founding of New China, Wuqi, like other counties in northern Shaanxi, followed the traditional agricultural production mode of over-reclamation and over-grazing for a long time, which led to the continuous degradation of forest and grass vegetation, frequent natural disasters, unbearable ecological environment, slow county economic development and poor people's lives.
Poverty leads to change. Bad natural conditions and painful historical lessons forced the people of Wuqi to make new choices. How to develop economy and realize the harmonious development of ecology, economy, man and nature, the people of Wuqi have made arduous exploration and practice. During the period of 1998, we seized the historical opportunity of the country's implementation of returning farmland to forests and the large-scale development of the western region, made decisions in advance, took the lead in closing hillsides and forbidding grazing, raising livestock in houses, returning farmland to forests, planting trees and grass, and started the project of returning farmland to forests in advance, thus winning the development opportunity. While paying attention to ecological construction and developing rural economy, the pace of industrial economy led by oil has accelerated and the county economy has made great progress.
Since 2003, in order to promote the extraordinary and leap-forward development of Wuqi economy, the new county party committee and county 0 have adhered to the guidance of Theory of Three Represents, conscientiously implemented the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 16th National Congress, adhered to the ideological line of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts and keeping pace with the times, firmly established and conscientiously implemented Scientific Outlook on Development, regarded accelerating development as the top priority of enriching the people and strengthening the county, and persisted in developing in progress, innovating in development and innovating in development. The development strategy of "establishing county by ecology, prospering county by industry, strengthening county by industry, driving by opening, driving by cities and towns, and driving by projects" has been established and implemented, emphasizing the construction of beautiful projects and infrastructure, speeding up the development of oil and agricultural industries, opening wider to the outside world, freely developing non-public economy, coordinating the development of agriculture and industry, linking urban and rural areas, simultaneously promoting the "three modernizations" and building a well-off society and a strong county in western economy in an all-round way.
Through unity, innovation, tenacious struggle and hard struggle throughout the county, the county's economic 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's GDP reached 917.95 million yuan, an increase of 2 1.6% over the same period of last year and an increase of 86.5% over the end of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Among them, the added value of the first production was182.47 million yuan, the second production was 493.03 million yuan, and the third production was 242.45 million yuan, up by 7.2%, 38% and 7.7% respectively.

afforest
1998 responded positively to the central government's directive spirit of "rebuilding a beautiful northwest region with mountains and rivers" and established the reverse development strategy of "closing hillsides for returning farmland, planting trees and grass, raising sheep in houses, leading by forestry and animal husbandry, strengthening agriculture and enriching the people" By the end of the year, the county's overall enclosure goal will be achieved, 199 one-time reclamation of cultivated land1555,000 mu, and the project will be started first. Since the transformation in 2003, we have continuously improved our working ideas and put forward the guiding ideology of "establishing counties by ecology", further consolidated the achievements of returning farmland to forests, actively improved our working measures, and continuously improved the quality and efficiency of ecological management. At present, the county has completed a total area of 2,307,900 mu of returning farmland to forests (returning farmland to forests/kloc-0.555 million mu and afforestation in barren hills of 752,900 mu), of which the area of returning farmland to forests/kloc-0.6507 million mu (returning farmland to forests of 897,800 mu, with 8.5 mu per farmer) is confirmed by the state, involving/kloc-0. Our county can enjoy nearly 65.438+03 billion yuan in food subsidies, living allowances and seedling fees, with a per capita income of more than 65.438+03 million yuan and an average annual income of 65.438+03 million yuan. It is the earliest, fastest, largest and most supported county in more than 654.38+050 counties (cities, districts) in China. The comprehensive control area of soil and water loss in the county is 127 1 km2, the control degree is increased from 39.7% of 1.997 to 52.4%, and the annual soil erosion modulus is decreased from 1.997/.53 million tons/km2. Nowadays, it is all over Wuqi mountains and rivers, showing a beautiful landscape of "full of beautiful mountains and birds flying and rabbits jumping". On the latest EOS satellite remote sensing map, Wuqi's administrative division map has shown a green outline, which is in obvious contrast with the surrounding areas such as Gansu, Ningxia and Yulin. At the same time, it has completely changed the production and lifestyle of 65,438+10,000 farmers in the county and liberated them from the traditional hard work. Since 2003, we have shifted the focus of ecological environment construction to consolidate and expand the achievements of returning farmland to forests and promote the transformation of ecological advantages into economic advantages. According to the idea of improving work measures, improving governance quality and developing ecological economy, the management and protection of ecological construction have been further strengthened by improving replanting, optimizing stand structure and strengthening forest and grass management and protection. First, adhere to the improvement of replanting and focus on consolidating the effectiveness of governance. In view of the actual situation of returning farmland to forests and the large area of barren hills and slopes in the county, focusing on the improvement of replanting, we have earnestly implemented the "four households" measures: namely, the task of governance is broken down to households, the subsidy policy is honored to households, the property rights of forests and grasses are clearly defined to households, and the responsibility of management and protection is implemented to households, effectively accelerating the process of forest and grass depression. In 2004, new afforestation195,000 mu, replanting146,000 mu, abandoned cultivation and enclosure of 60,000 mu, young forest1455,700 mu, and more than 3.6 million trees were planted around. The second is to optimize the forest structure and comprehensively improve the quality of forest and grass construction. Based on the principle of giving consideration to both economy and ecology, combining quilts and coupons, and combining short-term and long-term, we intensified the adjustment of forest structure, implemented the three-dimensional construction of arbor, shrub and grass, mixed development of apricot and Populus davidiana, multi-mode development, and multi-variety collocation, and strived to create an eco-economic composite forest, thus continuously improving the quality of forest and grass construction. The third is to strengthen forest and grass management and protection, and effectively protect the construction achievements. Adhere to the principle of paying equal attention to construction and management, strictly implement the measures for the implementation of forest and grass management, improve the forest and grass management team at the county, township, village and group levels, and take "three prohibitions and three defenses" (grazing prohibition, logging prohibition, reclamation prohibition, fire prevention, rabbit prevention and insect prevention) as the main management and protection contents, consolidate the management and protection responsibilities at all levels, and further consolidate the results of the ban. Since 1998, it has been successively determined by the State Forestry Administration, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Finance and other ministries as "National Pilot Demonstration County for Returning Farmland to Forests", "National Advanced County for Afforestation and Greening", "National 100,000 Advanced County for Ecological Environment Construction of Soil and Water Conservation", "National Advanced Collective for Soil and Water Conservation" and "National Pilot County for Combining Returning Farmland to Forests with Poverty Alleviation and Development".

There used to be a queen of Xixia here (it is said that there is a queen's tomb here). In order to strengthen the border defense, the queen recruited soldiers to practice day and night, and created a set of iron whip array, which was defeated repeatedly. Because of the gorgeous and diverse formations, it gradually spread among the people, forming a folk square dance in which farmers welcomed the returning soldiers and celebrated the harvest. During the period of 1997, iron whip dance gradually matured through the collection, arrangement and excavation of business cadres in Wuqi County Cultural Center.
