从历史脉络里，宜昌的发展轨迹清晰可辨，由长江这条母亲河所串联起的宜昌前世今生，也时刻影响着这座城市的政治、经济与文化。从船只林立的开埠码头到新航道建设的启动，从翻涌激荡的民族工商到动力心脏的来电宜昌，从植物宝库的山水甲名到肩负重托的国之重器，无不围绕着这一方水土，赓续着新的故事。大江东流，兴象日新，这里是长江边的生命原乡。

Within the historical context, the development trajectory of Yichang is clearly discernible. Yichang’s past and present, linked by the Yangtze River, its mother river, constantly exert an influence on the city’s politics, economy, and culture. From the port docks teeming with ships upon its opening to the initiation of new waterway construction; from the booming national industry and commerce to the arrival of electricity that powers Yichang like a vital heart; from the renowned landscape, a veritable botanical treasure trove, to the city shouldering national key projects of great importance, everything unfolds around this stretch of land and water, perpetuating new stories. As the mighty river flows eastward, signs of prosperity emerge afresh each day. This is the original cradle of life along the Yangtze River.
