Ten Hubei Yankees can not withstand one Baogu Lao. ”
The prestige of Baoqing Province and Baogulao,
Still affecting the eastern part of Xuefeng Mountain,
More than 7 million people on the banks of Shaoshui and Zijiang Rivers,
Bao Gulao's iron skeleton Zheng Zheng,
Bao Gulao's dare to fight,
Bao Gulao's astute and clever,
The stubbornness and cunning of the Baogulao,
They were still flowing in the blood and soul of the Shaoyang people.

"Treasure Land" Shao Yang
In the upper reaches of the Zijiang River and in the southwest of central Hunan Province, this "treasure land" has Yuecheng Ridge in the southeast, and Xuefeng Mountain towers in the west and north, and this land surrounded by mountains and rivers was first divided into administrative divisions, which was in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhaoling County of Changsha was located here.
Today, the "Baoqing" that Shaoyang people never forget is the earliest appearance, in fact, it is later than "Shaoyang". After the Sui unified China, zhaoling was changed to Shaoyang. After the Sui Dynasty, Tang set up Shao Prefecture on the basis of Shaoyang County, which was ruled by the same city as Shaoyang County.

Shaoyang was renamed Baoqing in 1225. In this year, Emperor Lizong of Song ascended the throne, and he set the era name as Baoqing, upgrading Shaozhou, a "fiefdom" he had never been to, to Baoqing Province. The name "Baoqing" was used in this land for more than 700 years, until 1928, when Shaoyang was restored.

However, the second highway in the province, which opened to traffic in 1928, still uses its original name when planning, called Tanbao Highway. This was a very advanced road in China at that time, the road surface was solid and flat, and some of the bridges on this road are still in use today.
“...... The country, whether it is east or west, whether it is yellow or white, whether it is natural disasters, rounded skulls and square toes, can not stand on the front of the allies, and it is carried out in confrontation with the natural world. In ancient times, transportation was not extensive, disaster relief was only available to neighbors, limited to Yucheng; after the sea pass, the wanli household court, the international competition was fierce, and the ability to help each other was also proportional to it..."
The inscription on the Tanbao Highway written by Xiong Xiling, the fourth premier of the Beiyang government, shows that this highway was built after the disaster with work for relief. The construction of this highway has greatly facilitated the entry and exit of people and things in Shaoyang.
The historian Braudel once said that "history has always taken root on both sides of the road." Before the Tanbao Highway, the "road" to the outside world in Shaoyang or Baoqing was mainly Zijiang.

The mountains and rivers are poor and vicious, and they can't stop the glorious history created by the Shaoyang people or Baogulao - a few pieces of wood are tied in rows, you can ride the wind and waves, go out of the cave court, make trouble in Hankou, go down to Nanjing, arrive in Shanghai, and then cross the ocean, carry forward the spirit of Baogulao, let the whole world know that there is a Baoqing Province, and also let the people in Baoqing Province be in the palace, and you can also touch the pulse of the world.
"International First Tier Cities"
The first Wei Yuan in modern China to open his eyes to the world was Shaoyang Longhui. Nowadays, an airport, six high-speed rail stations, such a high-quality, so that the distance between Shaoyang and the world has never been so close today, Shaoyang has long been more than Shaoyang of Shaoyang people, not only Shaoyang of Hunan and China, when Laos use mobile phones produced by Shaoyang people to make calls and ride motorcycles produced by Shaoyang people;
When Nigerian beauties bring Wigs woven by Shaoyang people; when indigenous people in the Alps use Shaoyang lighters; when tourists in the Gulf of California take swimsuits from Shaoyang's bags, Shaoyang is no longer the Shaoyang that was once very remote.

"World Shoe Capital", "World Lighter Capital", "China Hair Products City", "Central Luggage City" and other titles have gathered in Shaoyang; 80% of the world's paper red envelopes, 70% of disposable lighters, 60% of the country's school bags, 40% of the small hardware are sent from Shaoyang to the whole country and even the world day and night.
Measured by its participation in world trade, Shaoyang can be called an "international first-tier city", and "Made in Shaoyang" participates in influencing the world's economy.
Shao Shang, how far away is it from a world-class business gang?
Deep in Xiangzhong, the land of Shaoyang and the people who were once called Baogulao in this land have never been separated, and it is this restlessness that makes the city on this land an "international first-tier city".
Without the past Bao GuLao, there would be no Hanzheng Street today
In February 2009, when Huxiang Geographic reporters were interviewing gushang town series, they heard a boat number at The Tangjiaguan in Anhua in the middle reaches of the Zijiang River. The one who called out the boat's number to us was an old man who was 79 years old at the time.
"Hey-hey-yo, hey-yo, hey- hey, hey,hey, hey, he After the old man finished shouting, he introduced: "This is the number of the Shaoyang wool board boat." "Wool plank boat refers to a simple wooden row made directly from log bundles, generally transporting coal," coal was transported to Hankou, sold out, and the plank boat was dismantled and sold out of wood. "The wooden plank boat came as a "companion", "a companion with one or twenty". The Shaoyang people, who had sold out coal and timber, then took other people's cargo ships up the river.

In Hankou, Shaoyang people have a special dock - Baoqing Wharf. Historically, there were 4 Baoqing wharves in the three towns of Wuhan. The Baoqing Wharf in Hankou is the central wharf, which is a comprehensive boat parking place, and the wool board boats and barge boats are parked; the Baoqing Wharf of the Moon Lake Causeway in Hanyang is the place where the wool board boats are parked and the wool board boats are demolished; the Baoqing Wharf in Hanyang Parrot Island and Wuchang Baishazhou is where bamboo and wooden rows are moored.

The three towns of Wuhan are the thoroughfares of nine provinces, with developed water and land transportation, and have been important commercial centers since ancient times. Shaoyang people actually have 4 exclusive docks in such a place with little land, which is extraordinary.
Baoqing is the old name, the history of Baoqing once under the jurisdiction of Shaoyang, Wugang, Xinning, Chengbu, Xinhua, Anhua and other counties, mainly mountainous Baoqing is rich in fir, coal, bamboo, tea, tung oil, soil paper and other "mountain goods".

"Overhead sun, eyes Shaoyang, feet on Yiyang, body falling in Hanyang, tail swinging Yangtze River throwing huge waves, hand-cranked paddle piles swimming in all directions." This folk song is about the Baoqing Gang.
Breaking out from the cramped landscape, the Baoqing Gang needs a broader territory and a wider space, and the wharf is the base for expanding a broader space.
The fight for the dock is also a struggle for survival and development space. The docks have been scrambled, and not only the survival and development space of the contenders themselves have unlimited possibilities, but also the fathers and villagers behind them, between Xuefeng Mountain and Yuecheng Ridge, also have unlimited possibilities.

In order to compete for control of the docks, for hundreds of years, the Baoqing gang and the foreign gangs have had countless battles, it is no exaggeration to say that the Baoqing docks are baoqing people with their wisdom, wisdom and courage in the chaotic world of swords and lights, for which sweat and blood and even pay the price of life. The conflict over the docks lasted until the liberation of Wuhan in 1949, when it came to an end.
In the first year of Qing Jiaqing (1796), the people of Baoqing Province competed for the Huishuiwan Wharf diagonally opposite the head of Guishan In Hankou, which was the first dedicated wharf of Baoqing people in the three towns of Wuhan, and the name of the wharf was changed to "Baoqing".
The ancient city wall of Wugang began when emperor Heng of Han sent Dou Yingming to "cut down barbarians to build a city". In the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to "feed the soldiers and control the barbarians", the city wall was built on the rammed earthen slab of the "military office" administration, with a total circumference of about ten miles, and the "Gonglou" was built on the city gate.

Hankou Baoqing Wharf consists of two parts. Part of it is the pier itself, and among the more than 30 piers along the river avenue in Hankou, Baoqing Wharf is famous.
The other part refers to the residential area and commercial street immediately adjacent to the wharf, that is, Baoqing Street, including the three communities of Banchang, Baoqing and Yongning on Hanzheng Street, from the river bank to the land depth of half a mile, up and down Huali, including BaoqingZheng Street, Baoqing Second Street, Baoqing Third Street, Yongning Street, and Baoqing 1st Lane to 9th Lane, Banchang 1st Lane to 9th Lane, 2918 Alleys, before 1949 unified called "Baoqing Wharf".

Today, although the "three streets and eighteen alleys" of Baoqing Wharf have been demolished and the name of Baoqing Wharf has gradually been forgotten, the old Wuhan people know that Hankou, an international commercial city, has developed from a street called "Hanzheng Street".
Hanzheng Street, on the other hand, was formed on the basis of Baoqing Wharf – until the beginning of this century, in the vegetable market of Baoqing Third Street, Shaoyang-style white peppers, bacon and pig blood balls were often seen, and The Shaoyang accent could still be heard from time to time. To put it bluntly, without the Baogulao of the past, there would be no Hanzheng Street today.
Shaoyang is the "backbone of the Chinese"
"Sonorous Shao Yang, bloody masculine." This is a high-level summary of the character of Shaoyang people by Zhang Qianshan, chairman of the Shaoyang Federation of Social Sciences, and this summary is decomposed into 4 words with "iron": iron blood, iron bone, iron gall, iron heart, "what he identifies, he is unswerving, tenacious." Zhang Qianshan, for example, Cai Yi is such an "iron".
"Cai Yi firmly believed that China could only be strong if it went to the republic, so he recreated the republic, and as Chen Duxiu said in "Welcome to the Spirit of hunan people," he took the 2,000 Yunnan soldiers who were undernumbered by the sick and fought with 100,000 Yuan troops."

There is an urban sculpture of "Baoqing Yuanbao" on Zijiang South Road in Shaoyang today. Zhang Qianshan believes that this is a source of the phrase "Baoqing of Iron Strike". In the first year of Baoqing, Song Lizong ordered the minting of the era number of the year coin, and minted the iron "Baoqing Yuanbao" coin.
"Baoqing of Iron Strike", another source of the saying, is related to Shi Dakai. At the end of May 1859, Shi Dakai led a so-called 200,000-strong army to attack Baoqing, fighting for three months, but was repulsed by Zuo Zongtang's 30,000 Xiang army, and baoqing became famous from then on.

Baoqing City could not be attacked, in addition to the fortified city and Zuo Zongtang's command, it was also related to the temperament of the Shaoyang defenders and the Shaoyang people. The harsh geographical and natural conditions such as remoteness and underdeveloped transportation have created Shaoyang's people's style and fierceness, martial arts, and barbarism. There is a saying, "On the hegemonic barbarians fear the Hunan people, Hunan fears the Baoqing people."
During the May Fourth Movement, Shao Yangren and Kuang Husheng, a fourth-year student of the Mathematics Department of Beijing Higher Teachers, were the "first to enter the Zhao Family Building", and Zhou Yutong, a famous expert in the history of Chinese classics, once wrote: "There was a low house next to the gate, probably a place for servants to live. The house has small windows, inlaid with glass, but also tightly closed.
At that time, the mutual brother first smashed the glass with his fist, climbed in through the window, and opened the gate, so that the crowd rushed in. Later, when he drew a match to set the fire, Duan Xipeng, a student at Peking University who was the president of the parade, stopped him: "I can't take responsibility!" Kuang Husheng replied, "Who wants you to be responsible!" You really can't be held accountable. ”

The iron courage of the Shaoyang people was also revealed during the War of Resistance. Wang Jingwei ran to Hanoi, when no media dared to report it, and The Shaoyang people Yan Weiyu was the first to publish the news of Wang Jingwei's treason and defection to the enemy, which was published on the front page of the "Li Bao" sponsored by him, which once embarrassed the Chongqing authorities.

When the Japanese army hit the foot of Xuefeng Mountain, the peasants in Shaoyang dared to use hoes, sickles, and kitchen knives to deal with the Japanese soldiers who had fallen alone, and the Shaoyang people cooperated with the government army to let the Japanese not fight xuefeng mountain.
Shao Shang: China's treasure merchant gang
There is a saying that "the Xiang merchants in the world are half in Shaoyang", and there is another saying that the people of Shaoyang, especially the People of Shaodong, are Jews of the East. The latter statement is that Shao Dong people are born businessmen.
Merchants of high-end Chinese herbal medicines in the Shaodong Lianqiao Chinese Herbal Medicine Market. Originating from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the market is an important distribution center for Chinese herbal medicines in the country, and has the reputation of "Southern Medicine Capital". ▼
"They are not afraid of ugliness, you don't dare to go out of the house, he dares to go out, you don't dare to raise the basket and sell, they dare to sell." After the reform and opening up, china's corners and corners are full of groups of Shaodong merchants who are wandering the world, working tirelessly, and are shrewd and willing to work.
At first, they just carried a basket or carried a bag, dragged a box, and then they opened a shop, and in the 90s of the last century and the first few years of the new century, the Shaodong people's one-yuan shops, three-yuan shops, and nine-yuan shops blossomed everywhere. Later, they set up factories, built markets, and made the original "fakes" into real goods.
Lighters, leather goods, red envelopes, plastic flowers, signs, wigs, other people, other places look down on these gadgets, they even make a penny or two for one thing, and they do it well.

"It's massive."
Initially, such a business was about solving the needs of a person or a family. Then, such a business makes this person or the family rich. Then, such a business makes a family and a villager rich. Then, such a business gave birth to one workshop after another, factory after factory, and formed one market after another.
In the end, such a business, because it boldly did overseas, first Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, then France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States, earned back one foreign exchange after another for the country, and made the Shaodong of the Shaodong people or the Shaoyang of the Shaoyang people into the Shaodong of the world and the Shaoyang of the world.
"Made in Shaoyang" participates in influencing the world's economy. ▼
The chairman of the Shaoyang Federation of Social Sciences believes that the reason why Shaodong and Shaoyang can become the world's Shaodong and the world's Shaoyang because of the development of commerce is that "one side of the land out of one person, one side of the land out of the other side of the humanities." In the land of Shaodong and Shaoyang, there are many people and few fields, and the conditions are difficult, so "we must go out."
The tradition of the Shaoyang people "going out" can at least be traced back to the Longhui Beachhead New Year Painting. The Tantou New Year Painting is likely to be the first Shaoyang product to occupy the domestic market on a large scale. During the Early Yuan Dynasty (1297-1307), the statue of Marshal Zhao, which was popular in the Jiangnan area, was printed by Shaoyang Beachhead.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, Tantou New Year painting reached its heyday. Lu Xun specifically described the Tantou Nian painting "Mouse Marrying Relatives" in "Chao Hua Xi Shi" and regarded the painting as a treasure collection. How much can a New Year painting sell for? Shaoyang people did not dislike how much they earned.

Why did Wei Yuan, a Shaoyang man, become the first person to "open his eyes to see the world"? Why was it that Wei Yuan, a Shaoyang man, first proposed that "shi yi long skills to control yi", believing that as long as it is conducive to civilian use, it should be encouraged to build?
The answers to these two questions do not need to be found in the history books, and now nearly a million Shao Merchants of all sizes can find very close answers. Shao Shang, who dares to break through, is striving to move towards a world-class business gang with a pattern.
The prefecture-level city with the most high-speed rail stations in Hunan
Shaoyang, which is deep in central Hunan and inland, is currently the prefecture-level city with the most high-speed rail stations in Hunan, and it is also likely to be the prefecture-level city with the most high-speed rail stations in the world. There are 6 high-speed rail stations in Shaoyang: Shaoyang, Shaoyang North, Shaoyang West, Shaodong, Dongkou, and Longhui.
You probably wouldn't think that there are six high-speed rail stations in Shaoyang. ▼
According to the 2020 census, Shaoyang has reduced its population by nearly 510,000 in the past 10 years. The number of people who have declined is slightly less than the number of Shao merchants who have gone out to do business in the world. Among the nine districts and counties in Hunan with a population of more than one million, Shaoyang has two, namely Shaodong and Longhui.
"The reason why Shaoyang has such a strong population cohesion is inseparable from the industry and culture of this place." Some regional economic experts in Shaoyang think so. Shaoyang has two counties with a population of more than one million, one is the newly promoted county-level city of Shaodong, and the other is Longhui, which has only recently been lifted out of poverty. These two counties happen to be one with industry and one with cultural heritage.

And the whole Of Shaoyang, the data shows that the population has indeed decreased by nearly 510,000, but the important reason for the decrease is related to the deployment of Shao Shang in the world in the past 10 years, and the statistics of the Shaoyang Municipal Bureau of Commerce in 2018 show that there were nearly 1 million Shao Shang distributed around the world three years ago. The reason why there is no reduction is related to the "return project" of Shao Shang vigorously implemented by Shaoyang City.
At the same time, due to its unique geographical relationship, Shaoyang is not only an important hinterland of the "Belt and Road", but also one of the "main battlefields" for the construction of the industrial transfer demonstration zone in Shonan and Xiangxi, and the forefront and strategic location of the "radiation" of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Shaoyang, an ancient city with a history of more than 2,500 years, has long been satisfied with just "making a lighter" or "making a pair of shoes" and "making a rice cooker pot every 12 seconds" out of the circle.
Advanced equipment manufacturing, display functional materials, smart home appliances, fashion supplies, circular economy, traditional Chinese medicine, the Internet and other seven major industrial emerging advantages of the industrial chain has been built in recent years, today's Shaoyang Hukun Baili Industrial Corridor, in addition to the "world shoe capital" and "world lighter capital", is also the world's largest engineering mixer truck production base, the only domestic can manufacture high-quality meltblown cloth production equipment enterprises, the world's fastest intelligent three-dimensional garage, China Shaoyang special glass valley.

Shaoyang's industry and economy, industry and commerce frequently out of the circle at the same time, the natural scenery of Kunshan, Nanshan, Xuefeng Mountain is also frequently listed, today's Baogulao no matter which "dock" to seize, has long been not relying on "death war".
