New urbanization must face up to rural value

The traditional urbanization model has a great misunderstanding and man-made damage to the rural value. We have many misunderstandings in the understanding of the relationship between cities and townships. Urban-rural relationship is not only the relationship between husband and wife, but also the relationship between mother and son. It is said that the relationship between city and township is a husband and wife because they are interdependent and functionally complementary, and no one can do without each other. It is said that the relationship between city and township is a mother-son relationship, because there is rural civilization first and then urban civilization. Urban civilization is a new civilization nurtured and developed by rural civilization. Urban civilization is rooted in the countryside, and urban civilization is based on and supported by rural civilization. Without the countryside, the city can not survive normally. Urban civilization is the sublimation and crystallization of rural civilization. We can not put the urban civilization above the rural civilization, nor can we put the rural civilization above the urban civilization. In the process of natural social evolution, the two civilizations should learn from each other and win-win cooperation. We can not simply think that urban civilization is higher than rural civilization, nor can we simply think that rural civilization is higher than urban civilization, but the relationship of interdependence, complementary functions and mutual promotion.

To promote the new type of urbanization, there is an urgent need for us to deepen our understanding and understanding of rural values.

First, the production value of the countryside. The countryside is the main space and carrier of agricultural production. Agricultural production is the basis of human survival and development. We should not think that we live on dozens of floors and ignore the value of the base on the ground floor. As the primary industry, agriculture is the first important industry. The more important it is to mankind, the less valuable it is, and the less it can be measured by money. Like air, water and sunlight, the most important thing for human survival is Mother Earth's free supply to human beings. It is just that human beings have spoiled them because of their own iniquity after entering the industrial society. Food produced by agriculture is a necessity for human survival. Although food is not as expensive as iPhones and BMWs, we can do without mobile phones and luxury cars, but we cannot do without food. The most important things are often the least valuable, but human beings often show shortsightedness and misunderstanding.

Second, the value of life in the countryside. Judging from the map, the city is scattered over the vast land like stars, and the countryside is far wider and broader than the city. Human beings come from the countryside, which gives birth to the real home of human beings. Rural life is the most approachable life, most in line with the nature, close to the natural life. Throughout history, human beings have mainly lived in the countryside. Even after entering the urban society, a large proportion of the population still lives in the countryside; at the same time, citizens who are used to living in the city are also eager for rural life. The rural suburbs of megalopolis are a paradise that attracts citizens to live. When urbanization develops to a certain extent, the phenomenon of counter-urbanization occurs. The phenomenon and trend of counter-urbanization fully show that without the countryside, it is difficult for human beings to find the eternal meaning of life in the city.

Third, the value of life in the countryside. Laozi said, the main road is natural. The countryside is the paradise of life built by nature for human beings; the city is the shelter that human beings build for themselves. No matter how industrious and wise human hands are, they are not as perfect as those created by the hands of nature. The primary industry in the countryside is an industry dealing with life, which is by no means different from the cold machine production on the industrial assembly line. In the primary industry, the common growth of human life and the life of animals and plants is the exchange, experience and feeding of life and life. Life in the countryside can make people really experience that life comes from nature and returns to nature.

Fourth, the ecological value of the countryside. The countryside is not only a production space and living space, but also an extremely important ecological space. Without a good ecology, it is impossible to have a good production and life. As the primary industry, agriculture not only produces food that people rely on for survival, but also provides people with an inseparable ecological environment. Human beings are the children of nature, and nature selflessly provides a beautiful ecological space for human beings. China's thousands of years of agricultural civilization contains an ecological civilization of respect for nature, awe of nature and the pursuit of the unity of man and nature, which can achieve sustainable development. The industrial civilization and urban civilization produced in cities ignore the care of the natural environment, resulting in serious pollution and damage to the ecological environment, and cause great harm to the homes on which human beings depend. Industrial civilization and urban civilization produce garbage, while agricultural civilization and rural civilization produce recyclable fertilizer. Urban civilization is not only impossible to replace the ecological value of the countryside, but also inseparable from the ecological value of the countryside. At the same time, with the outbreak of urban diseases, and the destruction and threat of industrial civilization and urban civilization to rural ecology, re-understanding of rural ecological value and vigorously protecting rural ecological value has become a new topic of the times.

Fifth, the cultural value of the countryside. The history of the countryside is much longer than that of the city. The rural culture and farming civilization that people have accumulated and developed in rural life from generation to generation is the culture and civilization closest to human nature. The cultural code of the countryside is worth pondering and cracking. Rural culture has a far-reaching sense of history. after the washing of time, it is more integrated with people's life and life, and constitutes the gene of human civilization. Urban culture is more about power, finance and fashion. Rural culture is different from urban culture in that rural culture is more natural, emotional and simple, and rural culture has a more natural sense of life and a sense of belonging.

Sixth, the tourism value of the countryside. Compared with the city, the countryside has incomparably extensive tourism space, incomparably rich tourism resources, incomparable tourism advantages and infinitely broad tourism prospects. If the city has high-rise buildings, the countryside has high mountains and rivers; the city has fashion trends, the countryside has customs and customs; the city has magnificent buildings, and the countryside has pastoral scenery. In recent years, rural "Yangjiale" has been developed in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province. The nightly accommodation prices of ordinary farmhouses are higher than those of urban five-star hotels, but tourists at home and abroad are flocking to it. This proves what our ancients said, "the scenery of bamboo hedge cottages is good, but high-rise buildings are not as good as tall buildings." Rural leisure tourism is a kind of tourism returning to nature, a kind of tourism with the unity of man and nature, and a kind of approachable and soul-purifying tourism. The natural scenery, local customs and farm life in the countryside have unique aesthetic value. With the development of economy and society, the countryside has become a new tourism destination, and rural tourism has become a new industry with a bright future.

In the process of promoting the new type of urbanization, we emphasize that deepening the understanding of rural values and respecting rural civilization is not to negate urban values and urban civilization, but to make us make fewer stupid mistakes. In order to enable both rural civilization and urban civilization to shine on our lives.
