The soil erosion of the upper and middle reaches of Yangtze basin is very serious

and threatened the sustainable development of the whole basin society

ecology and economy. Though the three big engineering measures

which are the comprehensive control engineering of the Yangtze Rive basin like the protection engineering of natural forest

and the transformation engineering from farmland into forest or grass land

have controled soil erosion to some extent

it still has many limitations and shortcomings. Because it is very important to restore soil erosion of the Yangtze basin

these limitations are analyzed carefully

and a series of new model for the ecological restoration of soil erosion of the Yangtze River basin are put forward

such as taxing ecological

developing eco-economical agriculture

implementing ecological emigrant

enlarging ecological import and developing ecological tourism.
