The postal code of Yangling is 7 12 100, and the area code is the same as that of Xi 'an, both of which are 029. [Edit this paragraph] Overview of Yangling Yangling is the only national agricultural high-tech industrial demonstration zone in China. It was jointly built by the national 19 ministries and commissions and the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government. Shaanxi Province has established a provincial leading group composed of 34 departments and bureaus. The administrative committee of the demonstration zone enjoys local administrative power, provincial economic management power and some provincial administrative power. Enjoy the preferential policies of the national high-tech industrial development zone, the state's preferential support policies for agriculture and the preferential policies for the development of the western region. Since the establishment of 1997, Yangling Demonstration Zone has become the most potential growth point of Shaanxi economy and the highlight of western development through the efforts of 10. Approved by the state as one of the top ten industrial parks open to APEC, one of the five high-tech zones supported by the state, and one of the six experimental zones for cross-strait agricultural cooperation in China.
There are four research institutes in Yangling District, namely Northwest A&F University, Yangling Vocational and Technical College, Shaanxi Medical College and Shaanxi Institute of Defense Technology. The existing disciplines cover seven disciplines, including agriculture, science, engineering, economics, management, literature and law, with more than 5,000 agricultural researchers and strong agricultural technology.
More than 4,000 years ago, Hou Ji, a grandmaster of agriculture in China, abandoned Yangling, taught people to cultivate crops, successfully promoted the transformation of China from primitive agriculture to traditional agriculture, and created the agricultural civilization in China and the glory of Yangling agriculture in ancient times.
Today, 4000 years later, especially since the establishment of Yangling District, 6,543.8+0.8 million Yangling people have given full play to the advantages of regional agricultural science and technology, seized the opportunity, actively adjusted the industrial structure, vigorously developed five major industries, such as facility agriculture, animal husbandry, seedlings and flowers, famous, new, special and improved varieties, and built a number of demonstration bases for high-quality agricultural products production. Modern agriculture is rising in this hot land of Yangling, and the annual Yangling agriculture in China is high-tech.
With the efforts of generations of Yangling people, driven by highly developed modern agriculture, Yangling has made great progress in politics, economy, culture and other aspects, and the appearance of urban and rural areas has undergone tremendous changes. Yangling, with a brand-new attitude, is creating the glory of modern agriculture in this hot land that Hou Ji once cultivated.
In a sense, the history of Yangling is a history of agriculture and agricultural science and technology civilization in China. According to Records of the Historian, more than 4,000 years ago, Hou Ji, the earliest agricultural official in the history of China, taught the people to cultivate crops. It can be said that the history of China's farming civilization originated here.
1934, Mr. Yu Youren, a veteran of the Revolution of 1911, and General Yang Hucheng, a patriotic general, founded the first agricultural college in northwest China-National Northwest A&F University, the predecessor of Northwest A&F University.
After the founding of New China, the state and Shaanxi Province successively laid out and built a number of scientific and educational units of agriculture, forestry and water. By the time the 1997 demonstration zone was established, there were 10 agricultural education units, including two universities, five research institutes and three technical secondary schools. In less than 4 square kilometers of land, nearly 5000 scientific and educational talents from 70 disciplines of agriculture, forestry and water have gathered. There is another such place in the world, that is, Va Heneghan in the Netherlands. Therefore, at that time, people called Yangling "the agricultural city". Comrade Lan Qing said during his inspection of Yangling on 1996: "It can only be regarded as an agricultural township". Because of the lack of basic urban functions at that time, the infrastructure conditions were only a backward northern town.
It is precisely because of poor conditions and institutional problems that there has been a serious brain drain here since the reform and opening up. In the years before the establishment of the demonstration area, nearly 100 key talents were lost every year on average. In order to stabilize talents, give full play to the advantages of agricultural science and education, and promote agricultural development in arid and semi-arid areas, under the personal promotion of Comrade Lan Qing, the State Council approved the establishment of Yangling District on June 5438+July 65438+March 3, 1997, and implemented the leadership and management system of "provincial and ministerial cooperation", which was established by Shaanxi Province and the state 14 ministries (now it has been adjusted to 60. Shaanxi Province has also set up a provincial leading group composed of relevant departments.
The tasks entrusted to Yangling by the state are: through system reform and scientific and technological innovation, quickly transform scientific and technological advantages into industrial advantages, rely on scientific and technological demonstration and industrialization, promote the sustainable development of agriculture in arid and semi-arid areas of China, drive the strategic adjustment of agricultural industrial structure in this area and increase farmers' income, and finally contribute to the industrialization and modernization of agriculture in China. In "Thoughts on Agricultural Reform and Development", "Cultivate, attract and bring into play the role of talents". The combination of agriculture, science and education, the combination of Industry-University-Research, the reform of science and education system, the research and development of arid agriculture, foreign exchange and cooperation, the construction of provincial offices, the extension of agricultural industrial chain, and the reform of administrative system have played an exemplary role.
With the cordial care of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and under the correct leadership of the national 19 ministries and commissions, the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, after more than six years of efforts, the construction of the demonstration area has made remarkable progress.
The hard environment of the park with relatively complete facilities, complete functions and preliminary modernization level has been built. Since the establishment of the demonstration zone, the accumulated investment in fixed assets has reached nearly 4.87 billion yuan. Among them, the investment in infrastructure and public service facilities was 2.24 billion yuan. Including more than 300,000 square meters of high-standard housing projects, entrepreneurial centers with complete incubation functions, four-star international convention and exhibition centers, standard high schools, primary schools and kindergartens with first-class facilities, leading water sports centers in Asia, demonstration area hospitals with imported equipment, more than 30 kilometers of municipal road networks, and the only natural gas thermal power plant in the province for central heating in cities.
Yangling urban construction highlights ecological characteristics, creates a first-class living environment, and prevents enterprises and projects that pollute the environment from entering the area. The sewage treatment plant and garbage treatment plant in the demonstration area are under intense construction. Last year, the demonstration area passed the double certification of ISO 1400 1 environmental management system at home and abroad. Yangling, a backward rural town, is transforming into a modern "agricultural city" with perfect urban functions, obvious advantages in science and education, outstanding industrial characteristics and beautiful ecological environment, and the brain drain momentum has been initially curbed.
Major breakthroughs have been made in the reform of science and education system, and the strength of science and education and the ability of scientific and technological innovation have been significantly enhanced. 1September, 1999, with the approval of the State Council, the original ten scientific and educational institutions were merged into two universities, Northwest A&F University and Yangling Vocational and Technical College. Science and education resources have been effectively integrated, and the innovation ability has been significantly enhanced, realizing the first substantive merger of educational and scientific research institutions in China. After three years' exploration, a new pattern of running a school with the combination of agriculture, science and education and the integration of Industry-University-Research has been initially established. The vitality inspired by the new system and mechanism has promoted scientific and technological innovation and high-tech leap-forward development, and produced a number of international-level achievements in many fields such as dry farming, soil and water conservation, wheat hybrid breeding, biopharmaceuticals, somatic cell cloning, and human stem cell research. The transformation rate of scientific and technological achievements has increased from 32% to 45%. A large number of scientific and educational personnel left the school to establish or lead scientific and technological enterprises, and a number of scientific and technological achievements were industrialized.
We have established a management system and operational mechanism that meet the requirements of market economy and international practices, and initially established a good investment environment. Since the establishment of the demonstration zone, environmental construction has always been regarded as the lifeline of survival and development, and efforts have been made to create a first-class soft investment environment. According to the principle of "small government, big service", a lean and efficient management organization has been established. The CMC has only six bureaus and two offices, with 58 civil servants. A series of reforms and innovations have been carried out in many aspects such as internal management system and operation mechanism. The recruitment of all staff is open; The appointment of cadres is mainly based on performance appraisal; The accounting agency system was implemented earlier in the country, and the use of departmental funds was completely transparent, achieving effective supervision; All engineering projects are brought into the tangible market, open tender and run in the sun; The centralized government procurement system should be implemented in the procurement of bulk public goods; Middle-level cadres use cars alone, and the communication expenses of all personnel are monetized, which basically embodies the principle of fair distribution, reduces administrative expenses, and effectively overcomes the possible corruption caused by official cars; Service, handle affairs, implement the first question responsibility system and service commitment system, and strive to establish an image of clean government, and so on. The demonstration area has also gradually improved the factor market and socialized service system that are conducive to the development of enterprises. Intermediary service institutions such as business incubation, talent exchange, securities trading, patent information, credit guarantee, investment consulting, law, accounting and auditing have been set up to provide all-round social services for enterprises. A good investment and entrepreneurship environment has created favorable conditions for attracting talents, promoting investment and accelerating the development of agricultural high-tech industries.
Science and technology demonstration has been steadily advanced, and farmers' income and demonstration radiation benefits have been continuously expanded. Around the demonstration of science and technology in and outside the region, we will promote rural development and increase farmers' income, and gradually explore some experiences and models that can be popularized. For example, Jinkun and Keyuan Company adopt the industrial development model of "company+scientific and technological personnel+farmers", and form the same interests with scientific and educational personnel and farmers, and become the leading enterprises to increase agricultural income. In the practice of school village construction and scientific and technological demonstration, Yangling Vocational and Technical College summed up four modes: technology guidance mode, stock cooperation mode, economic isomorphism mode and company-driven mode. At the same time, actively guide, encourage and standardize the development of various professional associations and brokers, take the road of "science and technology+professional associations+farmers", and gradually establish an industrialized management system integrating production, processing and sales of agricultural products. The pace of industrial restructuring in the whole region has obviously accelerated, and facility agriculture and animal husbandry have developed rapidly, becoming the most dynamic leading industries. Farmers' income has increased rapidly. The per capita net income of farmers in Yangling increased from 1396 yuan in 1997 to 2843 yuan in 2003, with an average annual increase of 12.5%.
The administrative committee of the demonstration zone, two universities and enterprises entering the zone have successively built116 extension bases of agricultural science and technology demonstration zones of different ecological types in Guanzhong, northern Shaanxi, southern Shaanxi and16 provinces (cities), and the enterprises entering the zone have * * * established 1258 demonstration sites and raw material bases in 30 provinces and cities across the country. The administrative committee of the demonstration area and the science and technology demonstration bases built by two universities * * * introduced more than 500 excellent species/kloc-0 at home and abroad, popularized more than 600 towns and villages with practical agricultural techniques, covering an area of more than 80 million mu, controlled soil erosion by more than 200 square kilometers, trained more than 3 million farmers, and demonstrated that the annual radiation benefits of going abroad exceeded 654.38 billion yuan.
Agricultural high association has become an important carrier to absorb and transform agricultural scientific and technological resources and production factors. The agricultural high-tech association jointly established by the province and the Ministry has been successfully held in ten fields, and its scale and influence are expanding day by day, and it has become one of the four major science and technology associations in China. Tens of thousands of domestic and foreign agricultural enterprises, agricultural science and education and intermediary institutions, more than 7.2 million merchants and people from all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and more than 30 countries and regions participated in and visited the top ten agricultural high-tech associations. In agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, animal husbandry, agricultural machinery and other aspects of high-tech, practical technology and their products display exchanges, transactions, and achieved positive results. The total transaction amount of project investment, technology and products is 7065438+26 million yuan. Recently, 107 provincial and ministerial leaders, well-known experts at home and abroad and business people gave wonderful speeches at the agricultural high-tech forum held by Sijie. Practical technical training and consulting activities were held, with more than 300,000 training and consulting people. Inviting typical rural areas in China to get rich and setting up a forum for farmers to get rich were warmly welcomed by farmers. Agricultural high-tech association has become a big market of agricultural comprehensive factors dominated by agricultural high-tech. A large number of agricultural high-tech achievements have been transformed, a large number of practical technologies have been popularized, and information on science and technology, talents, funds and materials has been spread and radiated, which has promoted farmers to increase their income and become rich and promoted the strategic adjustment of agricultural economic structure.
With the continuous expansion of foreign exchanges, hot color tourism has quietly emerged. Since the establishment of the demonstration zone, it has broken the traditional mode of production and operation and actively participated in international cooperation and exchanges. Through the introduction of agricultural high-tech, the development of agricultural high-tech industries has improved competitiveness and domestic demand, and promoted the transformation of small-scale peasant economy to commodity economy and traditional agriculture to modern agriculture in the demonstration area. With the United States, Japan, French, Canadian, Australian, Israeli, Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong and other more than 30 countries and regions, the relevant governments, scientific research institutions, enterprises and universities have established close ties.
Characteristic tourism, which mainly focuses on agricultural sightseeing and scientific and technological tourism, is becoming a new bright spot in the development of demonstration areas. Yangling was listed as a candidate city for the national agricultural science and technology tourism demonstration site by the National Tourism Administration. In the past two years, * * * has received 2.95 million Chinese and foreign tourists, including nearly 20,000 inbound tourists, and the comprehensive tourism income is 4170,000 yuan. Agriculture, Forestry, Science and Technology Insect Museum and Yangling Water Transport Center were rated as 2A-level scenic spots by Shaanxi Provincial Tourism Bureau. Driven by tourism, the secondary and tertiary industries have developed rapidly, employment channels have been broadened, and the employment situation has undergone gratifying changes. Compared with 1997, nearly 10,000 new jobs were created, and the number of flexible employees exceeded 1 10,000.
The changes brought about by more than six years of development and construction can be summarized as follows: first, the embryonic form of a small city with green ecological characteristics has been formed; Second, the living conditions and living environment of people living here have been significantly improved; Third, the momentum of brain drain has been initially contained; Fourth, the industrial development is standardized, forming an attractive environment for concentrated investment development; Fifth, through scientific and technological demonstration and industrial development, the driving role of increasing farmers' income in surrounding areas and larger regions has initially appeared; Sixth, great changes have taken place in people's thinking, thinking and behavior; Seventh, it shows a good development prospect and lays a solid foundation for faster and better development in the next step. Yangling is located in the middle of Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, 82km east of Xi and 89km west of Baoji, with an area of 134km2 and a total population of 186000. The Eurasian Continental Bridge Longhai Railway Line, Xi 'an Bao 'an Expressway and Middle Line Highway pass through the territory, and the tourist traffic is very convenient.
Yangling, with a long history and profound cultural background, is the birthplace of farming civilization in China. More than 4,000 years ago, Hou Ji, the ancestor of agriculture, "taught people to plow fields and grow crops" here, creating a precedent for China's farming civilization; 1On July 29th, 997, with the approval of the State Council, the National Yangling District was formally established in Yangling.
There are rich tourism resources around Yangling. It is adjacent to Xi- Xianyang Tourism Circle in the east, Famen Temple in the west, Taibai Mountain and Louguantai in the south and Ganling in the north. The tourism resources in this area are unique. It has the largest embryo cloned sheep base in the world, and the world's first somatic cloned sheep "Yang Yang" and its family were born here. Cloning technology reveals the mysterious origin of life; Agricultural Expo Park has the largest insect museum in Asia, with a collection of all kinds of insect specimens at home and abroad 1 10,000 pieces, which is the best place for people to understand the complicated and changeable insect world. The entertainment items in the water sports center are rich and colorful, and speedboats, cross-country karting, horse racing, archery, beaches, bathing places and couples' bicycles attract people who love nature. Soilless cultivation techniques and intelligent greenhouses in Xintiandi Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Park and other bases vividly define modern high-tech agriculture and show the infinite charm of modern agricultural civilization.
In recent years, while improving the construction of urban infrastructure and tourism public facilities, the administrative committee of the demonstration zone has continuously increased the intensity of tourism development and construction, and actively developed the tourism industry with agricultural characteristics in accordance with the overall goal of building Yangling's superior brand of agricultural science and technology tourism and creating an excellent tourist city in China, forming four series of tourism products, namely, agricultural science and technology (comprehensive), exhibition business, leisure vacation and folk customs. At present, Yangling has become a new tourist city with sky blue, green land, blue water, bonus, lush vegetation, fresh air and pastoral scenery. There are 9 scenic spots, 6 star-rated tourist hotels, 1 travel company 1 home, 2 domestic travel agencies, and more than 0.8 million people directly to tourism professionals/kloc-0. In 2004, * * * received 6.5438+0.586 million Chinese and foreign tourists, and the comprehensive tourism income reached 248 million yuan.
