Spread out the map of Shaanxi Province, follow the Fenhe River in Li Qian, reach the southern end of Linfen Basin, and Fenshui flows westward into the Yellow River. On one side of this roundabout, there is a place "hundreds of miles east of Hefen", which is Quwo County, one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation.
The confrontation between Qiao Shan and Jiangshan in the territory is a godsend barrier, just like a long historical scroll; Hui River and Jiaohe River run through the east and west, just like two silver belts, floating on the 437.9 square kilometers of green Yuan Ye. The climate here is mild, the sunshine is abundant, the four seasons are distinct and the soil is fertile, which is suitable for growing wheat and cotton. The transportation here is convenient, extending in all directions. Even though Tongpu Railway and Beikun Highway run through the north and south; There are Jin Dynasty highways and waiting-for-moon railways under construction in parallel. For Zhong Ling, an ancient and civilized land, Quwo has inserted the wings of economic take-off. Quwo County governs 5 towns and 2 townships: Lechang Town, Shichun Town, Qucun Town, Gaoxian Town, Licun Town, Beidong Township and Tanyang Township.
Xigou site in Licun County belongs to the same cultural layer as the world-famous Ding Cun site, which proves that our ancestors thrived here in the Paleolithic Age 6,543,800 years ago. Nowadays, an ancient ginkgo tree in Nanlin Village, although it has experienced vicissitudes, is still lush and detached, and is known as the "living fossil" of the flora, leaving a historical relic. Quwo people are simple and docile, courteous, diligent and thrifty, cultured and carry on the family line. Born and raised in Sri Lanka, generations have created material and spiritual wealth with their own hands.
Quwo is "the land of abundance, the key to the Three Jin Dynasties". The mountains, rivers, plains and pleasant natural environment here became the conditions for Jin to build a capital 2,800 years ago. Military officials rely on it to promote Jin, and literary officials rely on it to dominate, forming the rising scene of "Mo Qiang is in the world of Jin". As the ancient capital of gold, Quwo's agriculture at that time had planted wheat, soybeans and millet, using shovels, plows and cattle. Handicraft industry includes smelting and casting, textile printing and dyeing, tanning and pottery making. In business, there have been rich businessmen and tycoons who are "beyond the golden jade, but among them". The prosperity of Jin should have a favorable impact on the economic development of Quwo. However, with the transfer of the political center, Quwo founded the county in the eleventh year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 487). Under the shackles of feudal system and frequent wars, it has experienced a long period of 1400 years.
History gave an accidental opportunity, and the people of Quwo seized it. During the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shiying introduced tobacco seeds and cultivation techniques from Fujian. After gradual planting and promotion, the largest tobacco planting area in the county has reached 1.7 million mu, accounting for about 27% of the planting area, with an annual output of more than 7,000 tons of tobacco leaves. With the cultivation of tobacco, there are hundreds of dry tobacco workshops with an annual output of more than 5,000 tons of cut tobacco. Its quality is well-known at home and abroad in Sanjin, and exported to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, Moscow, Soviet Union and Siberia. One industry prospers the country and all industries flourish. In the middle of Qing Dynasty, merchants gathered in the county town, with many shops and nearly a thousand businessmen, including 72 banks and banks, which rose and fell with the drought. Tobacco planting and early tobacco production have become the pillars of Quwo's economic lifeline. As time goes by. Dry tobacco processing gradually gave way to cigarette production. At this turning point, because tobacco farmers failed to master the flue-cured tobacco leaf technology skillfully, the economic benefit was not high, and tobacco planting was in a downturn.
In the past century, due to the oppression of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, Quwo economy was on the verge of collapse before liberation.
"Castle Peak cannot be covered, after all, it flows eastward". After the birth of New China, under the leadership of China Production Party, Quwo's economic development entered a new period of comprehensive revitalization. The great achievements made in the 40 years since the founding of New China have far exceeded the historical process of thousands of years.
Quwo is a grain-deficient county. After the founding of New China, successive governments attached great importance to farmland construction, water conservancy construction and scientific management, and the output of grain and cotton increased continuously. 1988 produces 209 kilograms of grain and 47 kilograms of cotton per mu, which are 3.07 times and 0.62 times higher than 1949 respectively. 1978- 1987 grain year, sold to national commodity grain 134800 t, and became a commodity grain production base county in the whole province. There are also famous national model workers Wang Dehe, Chang Xiuwen, Yu Xiaopeng and Zhang Xiaolan. After the founding of New China, industry developed rapidly. By 1988, the county has mining and metallurgy, machinery, cigarettes, chemicals, tanning, building materials, auto repair, agricultural machinery, hardware, cotton spinning, clothing and processing industries. Among them, Quwo Cigarette Factory is one of the two cigarette factories in the province, with an annual profit and tax of nearly 10 million yuan, accounting for more than half of the county's fiscal revenue.
Its product, Hong Fei Tieta brand cigarette, was exhibited at the first food fair in China on 1988. Fenshui brand liquefied petroleum gas cylinders produced by electromechanical factory were rated as excellent products; Stop (? ) The grade of concentrate powder produced by Shan Iron Mine is above 66%, all of which are sold to Taiyuan Iron and Steel Company; The product of marble factory "Mo Yu" is of high quality and is a precious building material. The total industrial output value of the county is 1028 1 ten thousand yuan, accounting for 62.52% of the total industrial and agricultural output value, which is 36.66 times higher than that of 1949. 1988, there are 2328 commercial outlets, and the retail sales of duhui goods is 95.74 million yuan, which is 8.28 times higher than 1949. 1988 local fiscal revenue was 20.72 million yuan, 5.42 times that of 1972. The average annual wage of employees 1 162 yuan, and the annual per capita net income of farmers is 439 yuan, which is 1.27 times and 7.6 1 times higher than 1978 respectively. Urban and rural residents bought 353 yuan of consumer goods per capita, with a savings balance of 327 yuan. Economic prosperity brings cultural development. Tang Style is the earliest collection of poems in China, and it is a kind of folk poetry popular in Quwo in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which left a cultural shadow at that time. From Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, there were more than 100 literati in Quwo, which was known as the hometown of Sanjin culture. There are many writings by county people in past dynasties. Xu Guozhen, a famous doctor in Yuan Dynasty, wrote "Tai Hospital"; Wei Zhouzuo, a university student in Baohe Hall during Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, revised the Laws of Qing Dynasty. Jia Hanfu, the minister of the Ministry of War, compiled Annals of Henan Province; Cui Zhiyuan, a senior official, wrote Yi Zhu. Another famous scholar, Gu, who lives in Yiyuan, East han cun, wrote a magnum opus "Record of Japanese Knowledge", leaving a famous sentence "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". The long Jin culture has left a lot of cultural relics to Quwo, and it has the reputation of "underground museum". The ancient "Xintian Site" is a national key cultural relics protection unit and five provincial key cultural relics protection units. More than 50,000 unearthed cultural relics were unearthed. These include "the earliest soybean in the world", "Fang Ding" given to Yu Shu by Zhou Chengwang during the unified fief, the bronze bell of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty unearthed from the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty in Qucun, the brick carving stage of the Jin Dynasty and the drama pottery figurines. The treasures of these countries condense the wisdom of our ancestors and engrave the track of historical progress. After the founding of New China, cultural and educational undertakings have made greater progress. 1984 was awarded the golden plaque of "promoting learning and educating people" by the provincial people's government. County-level libraries and cultural centers have been rated as advanced units in the national cultural system by the Ministry of Culture. From 65438 to 0988, the county has 43 senior technical titles and 459 intermediate titles. There are 73 chief engineers, professors, writers, editors, scholars and cadres at or above the deputy department level in Quwo. There are 52 model workers at or above the provincial level.
Throughout the history of Quwo, brilliant achievements go down in history. However, when we look at China, we should not be complacent. To write the future history of Quwo, we should develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, renew our grand plans, ride horses and whip, and strive for self-improvement. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: "Know yourself and know yourself, and you will be invincible." In fact, economic construction is not the truth. Confidante, where is the gap? Generally speaking, there are two main reasons: although Quwo Finance is a surplus county, it has little surplus and can't afford much money to run an industry; Education is relatively developed, but there are only more than 800 people with college education. It is true that the quality of the population is still relatively poor. It is hard to imagine how to speed up the pace of economic construction with less funds and talents. And these two are not easy to recognize. Therefore, to forge ahead, we must break the traditional concept of being content with the status quo and liberate ourselves from the shackles of the small-scale peasant economy. It is necessary to squeeze out some money to run education and improve the quality of workers; We should do everything possible to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and accumulate funds. No matter how much financial resources and a certain number of people with both ability and political integrity, it is difficult to revitalize Quwo and let the economy take off again!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. To invigorate the economy, we must proceed from the reality of the county and study and solve two major issues: comprehensive agricultural development and mineral resources development. China is rich in agricultural resources, but there are still grasslands, beaches, hot springs and water surfaces to be developed, and low-and medium-yield fields, which account for 2/3 of the existing cultivated land area, need to be transformed; In addition, there are nearly 60,000 mu of forest areas suitable for utilization. Secondly, there are abundant mineral resources, such as coal, apatite and bauxite, which have not been developed yet. From the perspective of in-depth development, organizing deep processing of agricultural and sideline products has greater potential. This is the first step of Quwo's economic take-off, "the road of hope".
Today is the development of yesterday, and tomorrow is the continuation of today. Yesterday, the people of Quwo wrote brilliant poems on this land. Today, as long as we are good at understanding the county situation, making scientific decisions, and giving full play to the intelligence and wisdom of 6.5438+0.9 million people, we will certainly create a more brilliant tomorrow.
