[Objective] The practices and researches of soil and water loss comprehensive harness models in the red soil region of Southern China in the past decades were summarized and analyzed in order to provide references for appropriate application in soil and water conservation practice.[Methods] By reviewing related literatures and summarizing existed experimental results

taking Jiangxi Province as an example

according to the regional soil erosion problems

three aspects of corresponding harness patterns were proposed including soil erosion control technology

governance engineering practice and soil and water conservation policy.[Results] Patterns for those eroded lands which are difficult to be controlled or harmful to people in the red soil region

corresponding patterns were put forward from technical

practical and policy aspects. Technical patterns were summarized as following:the governance of "one control and two guarantees" on slope farmland; the "one high and two low" pattern on sloppy orchards land; the "three types" pattern on collapse erosion; the "two types" patterns eroded lands under forest; the "two types of strongly-eroded bare lands". Two practical patterns of comprehensive management of small watershed and small ecological-clean watershed were summarized. Policy-guided patterns were proposed

such as assistance for farmers

large-scale personal governance

reward replacing subsidy

boutique park construction.[Conclusion] Combining the long-term experiences and practices of soil erosion control in Jiangxi Province

the soil erosion control models and connotations in the new era were proposed. These models could provide references for the management of mountain-river-forest-farmland-lake-grass system.
