Why is Lanshan County so poor?

Conflicts and disputes caused by competing with neighboring villages for mountains, water, fields, land and emergencies are extremely fierce, which seriously affects the stability of social order in the Blue Mountains and the production and life of the people.

Nowadays, these "border villages" and "out-of-control villages" with tough folk customs have changed their old habits and devoted themselves to building a well-off society, becoming well-known demonstration villages for new rural construction, pilot villages and civilized villages in beautiful countryside. In the past, the "quarrel line" and "contradiction line" of the border have become the "economic line" to promote development and the "harmonious line" of the friendly border.
