Original Title: Shaogang (I): World Dream of “Capital of Steel Tape” Yucheng “China Steel Tape City” logo [Read tips] There is an emotion that runs through the long history of human development, which is nostalgia. Native soil is the home of the soul; homesickness is the memory of hoarding. Green trees, melons and fruits, chickens and dogs, harmony between heaven and man.. This is the “beautiful nostalgia” picture scroll composed of ancient villages in Shangqiu. The ancient villages named after “Gang” or “Ling” are undoubtedly a beautiful scenery in the memory of nostalgia. Gangs and ridges, together with hills, piles, mausoleums and terraces, constitute the geographical and cultural symbols of Shangqiu, witnessing its five thousand years of history and remembering the vicissitudes of life from ancient times to the present. Up to now, the series of “One Ridge and Eighteen Gangs” has written 25 ancient villages about Gangling, far beyond the strict sense of “Eighteen Gangs”. What's more, the so-called “one ridge and eighteen hillocks” in the west of Shangqiu include many “hillocks” in Qixian County. It can be seen that there are many ancient villages named after “Gang” in Shangqiu. Through more than a year's visit to the ancient villages named “Gang, Ling, Qiu and Dui” in our city, the author found an interesting phenomenon, that is, the ancient villages named “Gang and Ling” are mostly concentrated in the west of Shangqiu, while those named “Qiu and Dui” are mostly concentrated in the east of Shangqiu. Of course, there are also relatively overlapping phenomena here. For example, although there are many “Dui Dui” villages in the eastern part of Shangqiu, there are also a few “Gang” villages, such as Yongcheng Longgang, which has been written by this newspaper in the series of “Exploring the Old City of Shangqiu”, and Yucheng Shaogang, which will be presented to readers today. In this issue, we will transfer the nostalgic memory of “Gang” to Yucheng, Shangqiu. “Shaogang”, as its name suggests, will also become the “end of Gang” in the series of “One Ridge and Eighteen Gangs”, that is, the last nostalgic story about Shangqiu “Gang” to be told. Cross-provincial “one slip and eighteen hillocks” Yucheng is slightly located in the south. People familiar with Shangqiu know that there are many hillocks in Shangqiu. Walking along the “hillocks”, we find that these “hillocks” are actually the places where ancient ancestors lived. It can be said that a “post” is a history of the life of the ancestors. Shaogang in Yucheng County is one of the numerous hillocks, which is of great significance because it was once an ancient settlement of the ancestors. Shaogangji is located in the northeast of Yucheng County, on the south bank of Liugong River. It is the residence of the government of Shaogang Town. It is a large agricultural market in the northeast of the county. There is Lixinji Station of Longhai Railway in the southwest. In 1949, it belonged to the fourth district; in 1954, it was transferred to Shaogang District; in 1955, it was transferred from the district to Shaogang Township; in 1958, it belonged to the Shaogang People's Commune; in 1961, the district was transferred to Yangji District; in 1965, the district was re-transferred to the Shaogang People's Commune; in 1983, the county was transferred from Shaogan District to Xiaogang Township; and in 2014, the county was removed from the district and transferred to Xiaogang Town. Expand the full text As for the origin of the name of “Shaogang”, there are two main versions: one is recorded in the book “Gathering of Place Names in Shangqiu Area”: “It is said that in ancient times, there were eighteen hillocks from Huanggang, Shanxian County, Shandong Province, because a village was built on the last hillock, so it was named.” Second, the 1991 edition of “Yucheng County Annals · Township” contains: “Because the county has the old'three hillocks eighteen ‘, a little hillock in the south and slightly named.” After careful study, these two statements are actually the same. Slightly “, according to the dictionary,” generally refers to the end of things “. In the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the “three hillocks” at that time were Dagang, Zhugang and Shaogang, of which Shaogang was located in the south of the first two hillocks. On the north side of these three hillocks is Shanxian County, Shandong Province, which borders Yucheng, Henan Province, and there are many hillocks in its territory from north to south, such as Huanggang, Fugang and Weigang. Therefore, the three hillocks in Yucheng and the hillocks in Shanxian together constitute what the masses call the local cross-provincial “eighteen hillocks”, and a little hillock is located at the southernmost end of all hillocks. There are also some folk legends about the name of Shaogang. Zhang Junqing, a 58-year-old villager in Shaogang East Village, said that the original name of Shaogangji was Wenxiangji, which was named after the villagers who smelled many kinds of flowers on the mound in ancient times, and now there is Wenxiang Road in the town. The author in the interview, the local people also jokingly said: “a little hillock, a little hillock, is brought over the big hillock.” Niu Jintian, a 74-year-old Huangwa villager, said: “Shaogang has outstanding people and good geomantic omen, and there are many temples, such as Guangtong Temple, Buddha Temple and Grandma Temple.”. It turned out that there were many high officials here. Later, a southern barbarian came here to break the geomantic omen. From then on, there were fewer talents. The Liugong River flowing through the north of Shaogangji Village is an ancient river, formerly known as Po River or Xiapo River. It was dredged by Liuze, the magistrate of Yucheng County during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, so it is named Liugong River. It is the largest tributary of Qiulong Valley. It originates from Sunlou Village in the south of Jiazhai, flows through Guwangji, Balitang, Li Laojia, Shaogang and other townships, and enters Qiulong Valley at. Liugong River has verdant trees on both sides of the river, and many people are fishing on the bank, which is very pleasant and adds a scene to the beautiful countryside of Shaogangji. Shaogang experienced eventful years in the war years. On May 26, 1938, the Third Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army occupied Yucheng County (now Limin Town) and implemented fascist rule. On June 29, more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops, led by traitors Wei Jinglong and Chen Changkong, went to the Huozhuang area of Shaogang Township to loot wantonly, and the local people rose up to resist. In November 1948, the prelude of the Huaihai Campaign was opened in Zhanggongdian, south of Shaogang. Some martyrs who died in the Huaihai Campaign were buried in the north of Lixinji Village, Shaogang. The local villagers called it “Balu Mausoleum”. According to Lin Weiyuan, a villager in Lixinji, Balu Mausoleum was moved to Yucheng Martyrs Cemetery by the local government in 2014, and he led the author to the site for inspection. The steel tape that measures the world and the person who breaks through the world Gang covers six townships, including Zhengji, Chengguan, Suburbs, Li Laojia and Dayangji, initially forming a vigorous situation in which more than 10 leading enterprises are the leading enterprises and large, medium and small enterprises are developing together. After years of cultivation and development, more than 50 brands, such as Jianghua, Haibo, Dongfang, Yadong and Dayang, are becoming the leading products in the steel tape industry. The small steel tape has developed into a big industry in Yucheng and become the pioneer of “Shangqiu Manufacturing” in measuring the world. Shaogang not only has a long history, but also has the world's dream of becoming rich. Most people can't imagine that the largest steel tape production base in the country is in this ancient town. Therefore, Shaogang people are proud to say that 85% of the steel tapes in the country are produced by us. It is also because of the production of steel tape in Shaogang that Yucheng County was named “China Steel Tape City” by China Metrology Industry Association in July 2006. In the 1980s, when Wenzhou people used leather scraps as materials to make shoes and tried to turn it into the “leader” of China's private economy, several young people in Nanzhuang Village, printed tape measure , Shaogang Township, Yucheng County, in order to make a living, started from collecting waste rulers to simply assembling them into tape measures to sell, thus cultivating the initial business opportunities. Throughout the 1980s, Nanzhuang villagers basically completed their primitive accumulation by assembling steel tapes. In the 1990s, the steel tape industry in Yucheng has made a qualitative leap. In 1992, Yucheng Zhongzhou Steel Tape Factory, the first steel tape factory in Yucheng County, was born. Villagers Xu Xiuzhang, Wu Haiyun, Wang Shengxi and Chen Jianzhong took the lead in setting up factories and completed the transformation from small family workshops to mechanized manufacturing. The huge benefits brought by small industries have stimulated the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of Shaogang people, and their ideas are getting longer and longer like steel tapes. With the deepening of reform and opening up, private steel tape enterprises in Shaogang have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, registering their own brands and rapidly expanding production. Driven and demonstrated by leading enterprises, the scale of local steel tape production is growing like a snowball. In 1998, Li Keqiang, then governor of Henan Province, visited Shaogang Jianghua Measuring Tools Co., Ltd. and said with deep feeling that it was amazing that it could develop like this in remote villages. It was in this year that Shaogang's steel tape went abroad for the first time and dealt with foreigners. By 1999, the total industrial and agricultural output value of Nanzhuang Village had exceeded 100 million yuan, creating five domestic and international famous brands such as Jianghua, Hongye and Heibao, and becoming a well-known well-off village of 100 million yuan in the whole township and county. In the 21st century, Shaogang Nanzhuang people are not satisfied with “small wealth is safe”, and the production of steel tape is developing in the direction of scale, specialization and networking. At the same time, the steel tape industry is gradually spreading to the surrounding villages and towns. The rapid expansion of steel tape industry cluster has become a bright spot in Henan's economic development. Statistics show that, at present, Shaogang Town has 582 private enterprises of various types, more than 3880 individual industrial and commercial households, and 27800 steel tape employees, including 2 enterprises with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, 13 enterprises with an investment of more than 50 million yuan, 23 enterprises with an investments of over 10 million yuan and 48 enterprises with investments of over 5 million yuan. All kinds of steel tape processing households 1323, the town's annual output of all kinds of tape 1.12 billion, accounting for more than 85% of the national steel tape market, and has a large steel tape professional wholesale market “Shaogang International Hardware City”, really can be called China's “steel tape capital”. The steel tape products produced in this town are not only sold in major and medium-sized cities throughout the country, but also exported to more than 20 countries and regions such as Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Canada, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. In recent years, the rise and rapid development of steel tape industry in Shaogang Town has also led to the rapid development of other related industries, such as plastic products, paint products, hardware products, expansion screws, screw screwdrivers, putty knives, hacksaws, hand saws, utility knives, longevity vinegar, etc., showing a good situation of prosperity in one industry and prosperity in all industries. Closely around the leading industry of steel tape production and sales in Yucheng County, relying on private start and government guidance services, the steel tape industry has developed from small to large, rolling development, and the production area has changed from the original slightly. There are many delicious food in the ancient town, and the dog meat in Shaogang spreads all over the world. The dog meat in Shaogangji is famous far and near. Wang Jian, a scholar of literature and history in Yucheng, described his own experience: In the 1950s, he taught at a primary school in Shaogang. One Sunday afternoon, he went back to school and sweated a little. He was hit by wind evil. The next day, he got up and felt weak all over and weak in limbs. The local teacher Wei saw him like this and said to him mysteriously, “The secret recipe of the local Shendan can cure your illness. You might as well try it.” That night, Old Wei accompanied Wang Jian to Shaogang South Street. He thought he was leading him to see a doctor, but he led Wang Jian to a butcher shop and sat down. After a while, the shopkeeper came up with a large plate of cold dog offal, covered with garlic paste, coriander, pepper and other seasonings. Wang Jian had never eaten dog offal before. He thought to himself, “Can it cure a cold?” “Old Wei, I think it is false for you to cure me, but it is true to rip me off.” At this time, old Wei had brought a bottle of Baigan from the inner room, while pouring wine, while persuading Wang Jian to eat vegetables. When Wang Jian asked him what trick he was playing, Old Wei said humorously, “This is called closing the door and eating dog meat.” Wang Jian saw that the door was indeed closed tightly, the hot pot and stir-fried dishes in the room were steaming, and the temperature was gradually rising. The side dishes taste delicious, but they are very spicy, especially the mustard, which makes people sneeze. After drinking half a catty of white wine, I felt burning all over. Then come the hot dishes and hot soup: braised dog elbow with scallion, spicy dog belly, three kinds of dog, dog meat casserole, plus dog whip soup, dog brain soup, dog Capricorn soup.. At this moment old Wei says with a straight face: “Eat dog meat to have knowledge very much, want fat, 2 want skin, 3 want soup.” Read a few doggerel again: “Dog meat dog meat, eat a variety of ways, want to treat a disease, close the door to enjoy.” At this time, Wang Jian suddenly realized that the “medicine” that Lao Wei said to cure the disease was Baigan plus dog meat. At this time, Wang Jian had a big appetite, and the two of them began to eat and drink. Only eat all over the sweat, all over the energy, just left. When I woke up the next day, my whole body was light, and Wang Jian recovered from his illness. At this time, Wang Jian thought that this “therapy” was similar to drinking ginger syrup and eating spicy tofu to treat colds: fever, sweating, relaxing muscles and tendons, and dispelling pathogenic factors. The reason why the dog meat and dog offal of Jin Dazi's family in Shaogang are so fat but not greasy, fragrant and refreshing, and have endless aftertaste is related to the dog soup in his old life. It is said that the ancestors of the Golden Pockmarked family all sell dog meat, which has been handed down for 8 generations. His family's dog meat and dogs have been paid tribute and awarded. During the years of war and chaos, the old soup for cooking meat was made into a blank with soil and mud, wrapped with white cloth one by one, and buried deep in the ground. When there is a chance to run a business, the mud adobe of the old soup is pulled out, broken and put into the vat for clarification. Use this old brick soup, and then add seasonings to cook meat, not only not earthy, not fishy, on the contrary, more tender and refreshing. I'm afraid it's hard to solve this mystery with modern high technology. Return to Sohu to see more Responsible Editor:. tape-measure.com
