Li Ruifeng:
Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the press,
Good morning everyone!
First of all, I would like to thank the provincial government information office for its strong support! Thank you for your busy schedule to attend today’s press conference! Next, I would like to introduce the relevant situation of the 2018 "Harvest China" (Shangrao) Rural Tourism and Culture Festival.
I. Background of activities
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the strategy of rural revitalization, which is an important decision made with a view to achieving the goal of "two hundred years" and conforming to the yearning of hundreds of millions of farmers for a better life. In this context, on June 21st this year, the State Council approved the establishment of the "China Farmers Harvest Festival", which attracted wide attention from all walks of life. We believe that this is a major opportunity to promote the integration of agriculture and tourism and promote rural revitalization. Therefore, we took the initiative to report to the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and applied to put Shangrao as the main venue for Jiangxi Province to celebrate the "China Farmers Harvest Festival" this year, and jointly held the first "Harvest China" rural tourism and culture festival. Our proposal has been strongly supported by the relevant departments directly under the provincial government. Today, the heads of the relevant departments of the Provincial Department of Culture and the Provincial Tourism Commission also attended today’s press conference as representatives of the organizers.
Developing rural tourism is a new engine for rural revitalization, an effective way to achieve agricultural efficiency, increase farmers’ income and green rural areas, and an important measure to win the battle against poverty and build a well-off society in an all-round way. Shangrao initiated the "Harvest China" Rural Tourism Culture Festival, which has three unique advantages.
First, Shangrao is the birthplace of rice culture in the world, and rice culture and farming civilization have a long history. In the 1960s, the world’s earliest rice cultural remains were discovered in Wannian Xianren Cave, which was more than 14,000 years ago, more than 5,000 years earlier than the rice cultural remains discovered in Hemudu, Zhejiang. In addition, the wise men of all dynasties have left behind a large number of masterpieces describing farming civilization and rural life in Shangrao, such as "Cha Sheng" Lu Yu wrote "The Book of Tea" in Shangrao, and in the Tang Dynasty Wang Jia wrote "The shadow of the mulberry leaves the spring club, and every family is intoxicated", and Xin Qiji even wrote a famous sentence "In the rice flowers, you can hear the frogs".
Secondly, Shangrao has the beautiful business card of Wuyuan, the most beautiful village in China, which has the first-Mover advantage in developing rural tourism. Wuyuan has a 5A and 12 4A-level scenic spots, and the county is still a 3A-level scenic spot, which is unique in China. This year, the only national rural tourism and holiday experimental zone in China was set up. In 2017, rural tourism in Shangrao received 55.35 million person-times, with a comprehensive income of 41.6 billion yuan.
Third, the construction of beautiful rural areas has achieved remarkable results, laying a solid foundation for the global development of rural tourism. A single flower does not make a spring.
Since last year, Shangrao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have resolutely implemented the decision and arrangement of "sweeping all 80,000 villages in the province in four years" and vigorously promoted the construction of beautiful villages, which has completely changed the whole rural appearance. In 2017, Shangrao promoted the construction of 3,933 beautiful rural spots with high standards, and built 98 rural tourist spots above 3A level. It is planned to build another 3,742 in 2018, 3,191 in 2019 and 2017 in 2020. Through the beautiful rural construction, Shangrao City has taken another solid step in the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. From February 6 to 7 this year, the provincial rural work conference and the site promotion meeting of new rural construction were held in Shangrao City. The achievements of Shangrao’s beautiful rural construction won unanimous praise from the delegates.
Based on Shangrao’s first-Mover advantage in developing rural tourism, in order to seize the favorable opportunity of setting up "China Farmers Harvest Festival" in the State Council, the municipal party committee and municipal government decided to hold the 2018 "Harvest China" (Shangrao) rural tourism culture festival after studying and reporting to the provincial government for approval.

Third, the characteristics of activities
This year’s rural tourism culture festival is rich in content and has many highlights, and has the following characteristics.
First, the timing is important and unique. The State Council approved the establishment of "China Farmers Harvest Festival", which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of hundreds of millions of farmers and enhanced their sense of honor, happiness and acquisition. As a new symbol of tourism culture, it will be widely concerned by all walks of life. It is understood that many places in China are planning to hold activities to celebrate the first China Farmers Harvest Festival. Jiangxi is a big agricultural province, and Shangrao is the leading place of rural tourism in China. The first "China Farmers Harvest Festival" is a position that cannot be missed, and it must make a loud voice in Jiangxi. It is understood that at present, there are many farmers’ celebrations on September 23rd, but there are few rural tourism festivals at the same time, which can highlight our new mode and new path of developing rural tourism and boosting rural revitalization.
Second, it is grand in scale and the first time in the province. This year’s Rural Tourism Culture Festival is jointly sponsored by Shangrao Municipal People’s Government, Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture, Jiangxi Provincial Department of Culture and Jiangxi Provincial Tourism Development Committee. All counties (urban areas) in a district and city participate, with a main venue (Shangrao city level) and 12 sub-venues (12 counties and districts in Shangrao), which is the first time in the province. Shangrao attaches great importance to it, and has set up an activity organizing committee with Ma Chengzu, secretary of the municipal party committee, as the first director, and Xie Laifa, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor as the director. By mobilizing the strength of the whole city, Shangrao strives to make 2018 "Harvest China" (Shangrao) Rural Tourism Culture Festival an influential rural tourism brand and case in China.
Third, the time span is long and the content is bright. This rural tourism culture festival is a celebration of farmers’ harvest festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and runs through the fourth quarter. From today’s press conference to the end of the year, the activities are mainly divided into three stages. The first stage is the pre-heating stage, the second stage is the main activity stage (September 22 -24), and the third stage is the theme month activity stage. From October to the end of the year, various colorful rural tourism activities are held in counties (cities, districts). In terms of content, there are 8 theme activities, and Jonathan Lee and others will attend the Daoxiang Concert. In addition, there are more than a dozen theme month activities (lobster festival, rural food contest, rural e-commerce alliance, etc.), which can be said to have many bright spots and colorful.
The above is the main content of this rural tourism culture festival. Thank you for your strong support. Let’s look forward to the complete success of the 2018 "Harvest China Damei Shangrao" Rural Tourism Culture Festival!

Wu Xiangyang:
In order to encourage more people to support Wuyuan’s poverty alleviation through tourism, on August 27th, Qingling Ancient Village launched the global recruitment of the rotating "village head" of Wuyuan, the most beautiful village in China.
The ancient village of Qiling has invested 1 billion yuan to create a unique agricultural custom landscape in autumn drying in Qiling, the first protection model of ancient villages in China, and partial relocation and resettlement tourism to help the poor.
Through global selection, every "village head" may come from across the border to make suggestions for the tourism development and the protection of ancient villages in Wuyuan. The precision poverty alleviation tourism project will better promote the local economic development through industrial poverty alleviation and industry poverty alleviation. I hope that every "village head" will leave a "glorious achievement".
Whose policy agenda will stand out? Who will be the first rotating "village head"?
As long as you have a 2-3-day holiday, certain social resources, and a charity to help the poor, make sure to do something meaningful for the village during your term of office.
During your tenure as the "village head" of Qingling Tourism, you will enjoy at least these five preferential treatments:
1. A beautiful and comfortable old house;
2. An assistant with both face value and talent;
3. Ad hoc "village visits" to listen to social conditions and public opinion;

Jiangxi Satellite TV reporter (photo by Huang Yuting)
Jiangxi Satellite TV reporter:What is the specific significance of this harvest festival in boosting rural revitalization? What kind of influence will it bring to farmers in Shangrao?
Li Ruifeng:We also mentioned the significance of this event release when it was released earlier.
"China Farmers Harvest Festival", as a new symbol of tourism culture, has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of hundreds of millions of farmers, and enhanced their sense of honor, happiness and acquisition.
Shangrao has jurisdiction over 12 counties and cities and Sanqingshan Mountain. There are many beautiful rural tourist spots, and rural tourism is unique in the country. In particular, Wuyuan, the most beautiful rural area, has become a national benchmark, and Qiling has also become a model for rural revitalization with a unique "symbol of basking in autumn". Developing rural tourism is a main line of Shangrao tourism development, which is of great significance to increase farmers’ production and income, get rid of poverty and get rich, and promote rural revitalization and development. Relying on the holding of "Harvest China" (Shangrao) Rural Tourism Culture Festival will further promote the development of rural tourism in Shangrao’s jurisdiction, inject new connotation into "Great Beauty Shangrao", create a new brand for rural tourism in Jiangxi, explore a new way of "rural tourism promoting rural revitalization", and promote the formation of a strong atmosphere of flowers in beautiful villages. Holding this series with local characteristics will further enrich the material and cultural life of farmers, show the spiritual outlook of new farmers in the new era, and meet the new needs of hundreds of millions of farmers for a better life.
With the prosperity of rural tourism, the employment opportunities of farmers will naturally increase. Farmers can sell their own green agricultural products at their doorsteps, set up homestays and open restaurants, and actually enjoy the dividend of tourism development without leaving home.

Jiangxi Tourism Channel reporter:What agricultural products have been harvested in the Farmers Harvest Festival? What agricultural products can we buy at the harvest festival?
You Shilin, Deputy Director of Shangrao Tourism Commission (photo by Huang Yuting)
You Shilin:"China Farmers Harvest Festival" is an exclusive festival for farmers. To realize farmers’ festival and farmers’ joy, this activity is based on farmers and rural tourism. Spring planting and autumn harvest, Chunhua Qiushi, and the autumn equinox season are fruitful, which can best reflect the bumper harvest. Shangrao is a famous land of fish and rice. The reputation of beautiful fish in Poyang and Gong Mi fragrance for thousands of years has been long since ancient times. Xin Qiji’s description of rice flowers and flowers means a good harvest, and listening to frogs is exactly Shangrao. Autumn is crisp, which is not only an important season for autumn harvest, autumn ploughing and autumn planting, but also a good time for rice fragrance, crab fat and chrysanthemum yellow, and autumn scenery. Therefore, we set up the "Damei Shangrao" harvest market in the main part of the event, where tourists and citizens can buy agricultural products, local products and handicrafts from 12 counties (cities, districts) and Sanqingshan in Shangrao. For example, the fishing production of Poyang Lake, Gong Mi for ten thousand years, dried peppers and so on. In the sub-venues in Shangrao, you can also participate in the activities to experience local folk cultural performances, unique skills, and taste the special food of farmhouse music.
Farmers’ Harvest Festival is not only the harvest of agricultural products, but also the mobilization and gathering of resources from all sides, enhancing farmers’ enthusiasm and confidence in revitalizing the countryside, promoting the overall revitalization of the countryside, making farmers a promising industry and an attractive occupation, and making the vast beautiful countryside a harvest for beautiful homeland, which lives and works in peace and contentment. By vigorously developing rural "tourism+",we will gather together to tackle poverty and implement the strategy of rural revitalization, and promote the majestic power of "rural tourism promotes rural revitalization".
