Practice of Xi Jinping's Ecological Civilization Thought Leading Wenzhou Ecology in the New Era

How does ecological civilization construction affect carbon emission intensity? Evidence from Chinese provinces’ panel data

The theoretical framework of ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics is rooted in addressing the practical challenges facing China. It integrates the Marxist view of ecological civilization and China's traditional ecological culture into the construction of ecological civilization within the framework of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This article examines pressing issues highlighted in the current ecological civilization construction and provides strategic guidance for building a "Beautiful China". KEYWORDS: Socialism With Chinese Characteristics, Xi Jinping, Ecological Civilization Perspective

Xi Jinping's thought of socialist ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics for a new era is a scientific theoretical system that integrates Marxist theory, Marxist Sinicization theory, and Chinese traditional thought. It is an enrichment and improvement of Marxist theory. The inheritance and development of the important thinking of the “Three Represents” and the scientific outlook on development are important components of Chinese Marxism in the 21st century. Scientifically grasping the theoretical development roots of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought and analyzing the basic laws revealed by it are of great theoretical and practical significance in applying Xi Jinping's new era socialist ecological civilization thought with Chinese characteristics to guide the construction of China's ecological civilization.

Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization construction is an important part of the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in a new era, which inherits and develops the ecological theory of Marxism and Sinicized Marxism based on the reality of the national conditions and the ecological wisdom rooted in traditional Chinese philosophy. In this paper, the basic connotation, significance, goals, requirements and realization ways of ecological civilization construction are expounded profoundly. This is of great significance to move toward a new era of socialist ecological civilization and promote the construction of beautiful China.

It is crucial to clarify the relationship between ecological industry development and ecological civilization construction, as well as their driving forces, to promote high-quality local development. The ecological environment of the karst region is fragile, and it faces a contradiction between ecological preservation and economic advancement. Coordinating the relationship between economic development and ecological protection is crucial for achieving sustainable development in rural karst regions. This study identified karst characteristics in Guizhou province, China, by constructing an index system for ecological industry development and civilization construction. It employed the entropy weight method to calculate a comprehensive score and utilized a coupling coordination model to analyze interactions and symbiotic coordination. Finally, a linear regression analysis model was employed to analyze the impact of ecological industrial development on the construction of ecological civilization. The results indicate the following: (1) The ecological industry and ecological civilization construction levels exhibited a relatively stable growth trajectory across three research areas from 2011 to 2021, with the ecological civilization construction index outperforming the ecological industry development index. (2) The correlation analysis indicated a relationship between the two indices in the research areas, and the divergence trend among the three research areas rose in a uniform direction, indicating a strong positive correlation between the two indices. From the perspective of the coupling degree (C), the degree of coupling between ecological industry and ecological civilization construction in the three research areas exceeded 0.9, indicating a high level of coordination. This suggests that ecological civilization construction and ecological industry in these research areas are effectively coordinated and exist in a state of harmonious co-promotion. There were differences from the coupling coordination degree (D) perspective, but they increased in the three research areas. (3) The regression analysis results indicate that the per capita agricultural output value, per capita forestry output value, per capita forage industry output value, industrial solid waste utilization rate, energy consumption per unit of GDP, tourism income, rocky desertification level, and proportion of the labor force population with a high school education or higher significantly contribute to the development of ecological civilization. The per capita forestry output value greatly advances ecological civilization, significantly enhancing ecological culture and security. The coefficients are 0.0354 and 0.0393, respectively, indicating that a 1% rise in the per capita forestry output value results in increases of 0.0354% and 0.0393% in the ecological culture and security indices.

Accelerating the construction of ecological civilization and promoting the management of health environment problems is one of the core elements of the implementation of the “Beautiful China” and “Healthy China” strategies with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Based on the scientific connotation of ecological civilization, this paper systematically assesses the level of interprovincial ecological civilization construction in China using the combined CRITIC empowerment method and explores the impact of ecological civilization construction on the health burden of urban and rural residents using interprovincial panel data from 2003 to 2018 with the help of panel feasible generalized least squares, simultaneous equation estimation, and the extended regression model. It is found that there is a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between provincial ecological civilization construction and urban and rural residents’ economic health burden, as well as a significant U-shaped relationship between ecological civilization construction and urban and rural residents’ disease burden. Fiscal decentralization, urbanization, and industrialization are the three important indirect mechanisms through which ecological civilization affects the health burden of urban and rural residents, and fiscal decentralization plays a typical role in crowding out the health effect of ecological civilization. In the eastern and central regions, ecological civilization construction has effectively reduced the health burden of urban and rural residents, but it is more significant for improving the economic health burden of rural residents. While the “catching-up trend” of the progress of ecological civilization construction in the western region is obvious, ecological civilization plays an important role in alleviating the economic health burden of urban residents. After the robustness test, the conclusion still holds. This study provides an important empirical basis for local governments to improve the accuracy of their policies in promoting the “Beautiful China” and “Healthy China” strategies.

The party has made a strategic decision to promote the construction of ecological civilization vigorously in the 18th CPC National Congress, and the impact of ecological civilization construction and sharing on the economic development of our country is also growing. This paper is based on the study of the coordination of local government interests in the process of joint construction and sharing of grassland ecological civilization. First of all, it explained the conflicts of interest between local governments in the process of co-construction and sharing of ecological civilization in the grass-roots steppe. Secondly, it conducted a game analysis of the interests among local governments in the process of co-construction and sharing of grassland ecological civilization across regions, and on this basis, the corresponding countermeasures were put forward. Cross regional ecological civilization sharing refers to all the administrative regions (can be the smallest village as the basic unit) in the process of its development in a reasonable, fair, sustainable, harmonious as the basic value idea, to resource sharing, shared responsibility, development and win-win for the construction of ecological civilization of grassland basic mode. In this process, we must strengthen the different departments within the administrative region of the regional cooperation and build a win-win situation, emphasizing the administrative regional construction, symbiosis, sharing, win-win situation. The core obstacle in the process of sharing the ecological civilization across the grassland is the interest barrier, especially the interests among the local governments. If the interests of the regions cannot be effectively coordinated, it will cause great obstacles to the process of sharing the ecological civilization across the region and make it difficult to effectively carry out. The conflict of interests that the government faces will affect its decision-making and execution in the process of sharing ecological civilization, which leads to the difficulty of sharing the ecological civilization of the grassland across the region. Only by creating a community of interests, improve the cooperation between local governments, to mobilize the enthusiasm of the local government in the process of cross regional grassland ecological civilization sharing, coordinate the behavior of local government, to promote its development planning and use of resources, protecting the ecological environment of grassland, grassland construction and ecological civilization, so it is of great significance to study.

In practice, the specific road map and proper policies should be laid on the spatiotemporal characteristics and potential of each province in constructing ecological civilization. This paper constructs a five-dimension evaluating ecological civilization index system of social, economic, political, cultural and ecological aspect and uses provincial panel data from 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2019 to characterize the spatial and temporal changes of ecological civilization for 31 provinces (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) in four stages of before, initial, in progress, and current periods. The concepts of speed and acceleration are proposed to describe the capabilities variation of the provinces in constructing ecological civilization. The years for achieving the expected targets are calculated to represent the future potential of ecological civilization of each province by assuming the historical development speed. The relationship between the ecological civilization and economic development of each province is slightly discussed by simply regression. The research results show that:(1) in general, each province has made predominant progress in ecological civilization. Nevertheless, there is a significant variability of the achievement for different provinces from time-series change. In the progress of construction, although all provinces made progress rapidly in the first stage and slowly in the later stages, the extent of improvement was different for different provinces, which underpinned widen gaps among different provinces. Spatially, it is obvious that for the ecological level reviewed by the ecological index, the eastern region is better than the western region, and the southern region is better than the northern region. By analyzing the ecological civilization grades of the six regions to which 31 provinces belong, we found that the eastern region and the central and southern regions were ahead of other regions and have made the most outstanding progress at each stage, while the northeastern region and the northwestern region were lagging behind and making slow progress. Considering the relationship of ecological civilization construction and economic development, the regression analysis has revealed positive correlations for all provinces, while there existed considerable differences in the degree of correlation. At the same time the differences have been extended along with the periods of four stages. (2) Each province has showed great capacity of constructing ecological civilization with their different speed and acceleration. But the slowdown effect of the speed and acceleration ability along the four stages reflects that the enhancement of civilization of each province is getting smaller and smaller, with the sharply declining of enhancement capacity happened for a few provinces. (3) About 70% of provinces have not reached the assumed goals of ecological civilization, Tibet, Ningxia, Xinjiang, and Jilin were the lagged ones. This paper provides a framework on studying regional differentiation of ecological civilization for the Chinese provinces, and the empirical results provide scientific knowledge for practicing ecological civilization in different regions and the implications for classifying and grading strategies for different provinces and regions in China. The base, progressing capability and potentials of these provinces provide insights and implications for road maps and policies on ecological civilization construction. Furthermore, renewing goals of civilization construction timely is found urgent for provinces. From the perspective of research, the ecological civilization index system, the driving mechanism of regional differentiation, such as material and energy metabolism in each region are among the elements that need attention in the future. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

The idea of a socialist ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics is based on the latest provisions of Marxist theory applied to China’s current ecological environment. Responsible attitude contributes to the continuing formation of people’s awareness of the need for ecological protection, which in turn leads to the expansion of ecological practical activities; this shows that the idea of socialist ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics has very high theoretical and practical value. China’s ecological civilization has created an advanced national development strategy and now it is gradually putting it into practice. China is actively transforming its economic development mode, reducing energy and material consumption, limiting obsolete production capacity, insisting on collaborative innovation, and promoting sustainable economic development. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping’s ecological civilization thought, the society is consciously striving to respect and protect nature. In this paper, the authors analyze China’s Ecological Civilization from the historical point of view, explain the conceptual framework of China’ Ecological Civilization Thoughts and describe the primary steps of China’s ecological civilization development.

As the core carrier for disseminating Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization and promoting the construction of ecological civilization, ecological civilization education holds an irreplaceable value in addressing global environmental challenges and facilitating the building of a Beautiful China. This paper elaborates on the value connotation of ecological civilization education from three dimensions: ethics, society, and individuals. In constructing the legal path, with socialism with Chinese characteristics as the ideological foundation and Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization as the fundamental guideline, this paper proposes establishing a hierarchical legal system dominated by the Education Code, based on environmental protection-related laws, centered on the Ecological Civilization Education Law, and supported by local regulations. This aims to realize the legalized and standardized development of ecological civilization education, providing solid support for building a powerful education country and the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

In recent years, under the background that the country gradually attaches importance to ecological civilization accomplishment and strengthens the construction of ecological civilization system, ecological civilization construction has become an important part of Chinese social governance, and ecological civilization education in colleges and universities has also received continuous attention. As a national pilot zone for ecological civilization, Hainan Province has concentrated advantages in environmental resources and is a key player in promoting ecological civilization in the construction of free trade ports. In this context, as the main front of talent training, colleges and universities should actively play the role of educating people on their intellectual bases. They should not only do a good job in ecological civilization education and promote the construction of the strategic quality of ecological civilization in the whole society but also give full play to the positive role of ecological civilization in economic construction and social development. As the construction of ecological civilization continues to progress, various entities have made some degree of progress in the field of ecological civilization education. Firstly, the government has continued to improve the top-level design and accelerate the construction of ecological civilized policy systems and ideological systems; secondly, universities have co-ordinated and civilization the allocation of disciplines, strengthened the concept of research and study and expanded practical platforms; thirdly, the public has actively participated in creating a favourable atmosphere in society as a whole to advocate ecological civilization and promote the integration and coordination of various educational resources. But at the same time, the development of ecological civilization education also faces many difficulties. First, the depth of theoretical research is insufficient, the discipline barrier has not been broken through, and the educational results have little effect. Second, the policy system needs to be improved, the educational logic is not clear, and the policy framework needs to be optimized. Third, the orientation of education is fuzzy, personnel training lags, and the transformation of practice is hindered seriously. Fourth, the main body of education is dislocated and lacking, the potential of resources is weak, and the integration still needs to be strengthened. Based on this, this paper analyzes the implementation of ecological civilization education in 21 universities in Hainan Province through field research, summarizes the current dilemmas and problems in ecological civilization education, attempts to strengthen the cause-effect orientation, deepen the theoretical construction of ecological civilization education in universities on the premise of clarifying the correlative influences of ecological awareness and participation behaviour, actively explores the effective path of cultivating ecological awareness among university students, and provides benefits for the construction of ecological civilization in Hainan Province and the development of Hainan's free trade port.

Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization, as the guiding ideology of China's ecological civilization construction in the new era, has become one of the hot spots in the academic research. Applying the big data method with the help of VOSviewer and SmartAnalyze, the paper has performed a series of analyses of knowledge graph, including the annual publication trends, the subject term expression changes, the subject distribution, the authors co-occurrence and the keywords co-occurrence on 335 published papers from core journals and CSSCI periodicals database regarding the theme of Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization. By analyzing the knowledge map, we find that the quantity and quality of research literatures have the tendency of growth, and subject terms become more and more standardized, but the research perspective needs to be broadened. There are more and more exchanges and cooperation between the authors, but in low frequency. Their topics mainly centre around the five aspects of value, connotation, background, path and theory origin of Xi jinping's thought on ecological civilization.

According to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s report at the 19th CPC National Congress, realizing China’s great dream in the new era demands a great struggle, a great project, and a great cause. In terms of the construction of ecological civilization, entering a new era means China must ensure the harmony between man and nature, and undertake “a great struggle with many new contemporary features”, in response to major difficulties and challenges in nature. To realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation requires a clear understanding of the “Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the Basic Policy” introduced at the 19th CPC National Congress that involves such concepts as the vision for development, fundamental rules, environmental ethics, the rule of law, the model, objectives and driving forces of development, ways of life, and global governance. Based on the connotations of such concepts, the ecological civilization can systemically grasp the basic strategy for building a socialist ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics. This paper discusses the cognition of building an ecological civilization in the new era, examines the development paradigm of ecological civilization from the perspectives of ethical values, value theory and principles of growth, and specifies the strategic measures for building an ecological civilization in light of the new circumstances and demands.

Tourism is closely related to it because of its green attribute. It is of great significance to demonstrate whether tourism development can promote the construction of ecological civilization and explore its spatial spillover characteristics. This paper built a theoretical framework of the impact of tourism development on urban ecological civilization construction and spatial spillover effects. The ecological civilization construction level (ECC) of 284 prefecture level and above cities in China from 2004 to 2019 was measured by entropy weight TOPSIS method; The spatial Doberman model is used to reveal the impact of tourism development on the construction of urban ecological civilization and spatial spillover effect. The results show that:(1) the ECC of each city has improved to varying degrees, the relatively high value areas were concentrated along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River economic belt, and the low value areas were mostly distributed in the central and western regions; On the regional scale, ECC in each region has been in a decreasing pattern of east-middle-west for a long time, and there is an obviously spatial dislocation between the internal differences of regional ECC and the development level of ECC among various regions. (2)Tourism development can significantly promote the construction of ecological civilization in local and adjacent cities, which is embodied in the improvement of the level under the "three wheel drive", and its driving force on the urban economic system is significantly greater than that of the ecological and social system. (3) The impact of tourism development on urban ecological civilization construction and spatial spillover effect in the east, middle and west regions have been released. Under the spatial heterogeneity, the intensity of the two effects basically overlaps with the urban ECC. (4) In terms of policy development, In order to bring into play the industrial externalities of tourism for the construction of ecological civilization, local governments should actively promote the digitalization of tourism and the integration of tourism and cultural industries, based on the principle of "ecological priority" in the long term; on the other hand, Chinese Government need to strengthen the transfer of special funds for tourism and establish a mechanism to support tourism between the eastern and western cities in order to achieve the development of tourism in the western region. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

Two combinations, namely, adhering to the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with the excellent traditional Chinese culture, are the core propositions of the ideological system of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, and also an important methodology for promoting the construction of ecological civilization. The Marxist ecological view is based on the value of “reconciliation between man and nature,” while traditional Chinese farming culture is based on the practical ethics of “the unity of nature and man” and “moderation of use.” However, due to different times and cultural regions, there are many differences in the background and implementation methods. From the new perspective of “two combinations,” combined with the requirements of the times in the construction of contemporary ecological civilization, this paper systematically sorts out the theoretical logic and practical transformation of the integration of the two and explores the reality and implementation path of the integration of Marxism and traditional Chinese farming culture. Integration path analysis: 1) Promote theoretical construction. First, based on the “two combinations,” we must explore the theoretical model of agricultural civilization in which man and nature coexist harmoniously and create a new form of agricultural civilization with Chinese characteristics. Second, we must dig deep into traditional Chinese farming culture and ecological wisdom, find the point of convergence with Marxist ecological civilization thought, and build a research system of agricultural civilization with distinctive Chinese characteristics. Third, we must focus on cultivating a socialist agricultural civilization research and teaching team with high academic literacy and innovation ability, and produce a number of original theoretical achievements. 2) Promote the modernization and transformation of traditional Chinese farming culture. Adhere to the value guidance of the Marxist ecological view; realize the organic combination of tradition and modernity in farming culture; collaborative protection of farming culture is carried out through industrial coordination, education coordination, and institutional coordination. 3) Realize the Sinicization of the Marxist ecological concept. Translate the core concept of the Marxist ecological concept into cultural symbols that fit the national psychology and realize popularization.
