Most Shanxi people have never been to Baode County.
Today, the expressway connects all directions, from the provincial capital Taiyuan to Baode County under the jurisdiction of Xinzhou City, a 4-hour navigation journey. After passing the west direction of Xinzhou City, climbing all the way to Guanzhuan Mountain in Ningwu County, passing through the border of Ganlan County, it slowly descended, and crossed to the bank of the Yellow River on the border between Shanxi Province and Shaanxi Province, and Baode County was in a corner of the northwest border pass of Jin Province.
In the past concept, Baode is simply described, one is very remote, and the other is very poor. The people of Xinzhou in northern Jin dynasty earlier referred to the eight counties in the west, referring to the eight mountainous counties under the jurisdiction of Lüliang Mountain. On the banks of the Yellow River, there are no poorest, only poorer. Speaking of Baode County, the song in the ear rang out, "Hequ Baode Prefecture, ten years and nine years do not collect, the daughter digs wild vegetables, the boy goes to the west mouth."
China's development is after the reform and opening up, the opening of the country's doors, gradually out of the agrarian society, put down the hoe to build factories, the development of industry to go around, and then burn out the desire of the people. Everyone tossed and turned, so the sleeping lion stood up in the east of the earth.
Recently, I looked at a set of really amazing data, which subverted a lot of our cognition. I always thought that the 50s after liberation were the most backward. Backwardness is a relative concept, the result of comparison. In 1952, China's GDP ranked sixth in the world, ranking behind the Western powers. From 1978 to 1990, China's GDP share accounted for the total world economy, declining year by year, and the ranking also fell to Canada, falling to the 8th place. You know, Canada's population is a fraction of ours.
It is conceivable that if we do not reform and do not open up, how terrifying it will be to continue to engage in this fight and that luck behind closed doors. The days of relying on the sky to eat, fighting for the belly, issuing food stamps, and issuing tickets are still fresh in my mind today.
The donkey cart went to Bodezhou in the age of a week, estimated to be a week. After the reform and opening up, I came to Baode more than 20 years ago. The national highway is very slow. The reason for the slowness is naturally that the road is not good, and the car is not good. Santana is also a joint venture premium car and does not dare to run. Big cargo, tractors, motorcycle bikes, walking. Mountain roads are winding, and traffic choruses are the norm. Got up early in the morning, rushed to Baode City, swung for seven or eight hours, and his waist and eyes hurt.
Entered the boundary of Baode County, but looking at the four fields, there are no very towering mountains, mostly hills and mountains, fragmented. The terraced fields on the hillside are cultivated, pointing to the wind and rain of God. The vegetation of Baode County is also sparse, and barren mountains and bald ridges abound. The ecological environment is indeed worse than that of the surrounding mountainous counties.
When I arrived at Baode County, I felt sad when I saw it. The people who reincarnated into Baode County in this life are really wronged. A broken street in the east-west direction is the bustling center of the county town, the roads are broken, the houses are crowded on uneven slopes, and it is too difficult to find a few decent houses. After more than ten years of reform and opening up, the mountain city seems to have moved. Immediately on the side of the Yellow River beach, a north-south avenue was flattened, and the county government office building was built, and no one had yet moved into the office.
20 years of memories are still fresh, people talk about the situation in various parts of Shanxi, who is poor, who is poor, hey, I said that we Baode County is the most afraid. Grain is not long, industry is not booming, is that folk song singing for generations to come?
Before the Spring and Autumn Period, Baode County belonged to the State of Lou. Hequ County, a neighboring county along the Yellow River, was Lin HuGuo at that time. It is also a hunting and nomadic life, and it chooses water and grass to migrate, and should belong to the tribal group recorded in history. That is, there is no peaceful place in life, and there is no unified management in politics. So no clear administrative establishment was found.
During the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao learned the "Hufu Riding and Shooting" of the nomadic people, and his military strength was rapidly strong. In the process of northward expansion, the nomadic peoples of the Lou Andu and Lin Hu states were successively driven to the farther desert north, and Baode on the east bank of the Yellow River was returned to the Zhao state, and at that time, the famine was opened up and the population increased.
After the Qin and Han Dynasties, Baode continued to inject the culture of the Central Plains in the process of ethnic integration, and the population of the Tun army at the border pass continued to increase. Hequ Baode prefecture has always been at the forefront of the collision of agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization, frequent wars, natural disasters, And the Baode people have not had a few good days for thousands of years.
Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, several important nodes in the migration of nationalities have been a large number of Shanxi compatriots taking the west entrance and the east entrance. Most of them are to escape the famine to make a living, and a small number of aspiring men take the initiative to toss in order to change. Many men left their hometowns and traveled from Xikou Gudu in Hequ County to The Killing Tiger Pass in Youyu County to the north of inner Mongolia. The east entrance is Zhangjiakou, which is also another route for Shanxi people to go out and enter the grassland. History is a big wave. The story of taking the West Exit has consequences, some of them have taken root into today's Inner Mongolians, and some of them have returned to their hometowns at the end of the year. A small number of people lost their lives in the desert, and the rare ones developed into Jin merchants.
Hequ Baodezhou, for thousands of years, has been divided and combined, in fact, the natural environment is like a sister, all around the Yellow River. The Hequ people answered well, and the emotions in their hearts stood on the top of the mountain and roared out, and the Baode people were the same.
Standing on the bank of the Yellow River and looking west and north, the sister here wants her brother to cry, and the brother who is thousands of miles away in the desert wants her sister to cry. Sad songs can be weeping, and distant hope can be angelica. When you see that the ancient people could not stand it, they liked to stand on a high place and look at the vast north. Naïve, no. It's quantum mechanics. The magic of induction. There is a station on this side, a station on the side of the person who is missed, there is no telegram, there is no mobile phone contact, standing on the stage and singing at the same time, so it is fixed as the classic folk song card of the Hebao area "two-person platform".
Hequ County is the hometown of folk songs, which has become a sea of folk songs, and today it is also a national cultural intangible heritage. The song was sung by everyone together, and the sign was moved away by the Hequ people. Oh, God should say sorry to the Baode people.
The Baode people have been sad for many years, neither rice grain rivers, nor living in gentle townships, there is little wind and grass, the wasteland is vast, move away, and the homeland is difficult to leave.
The sky is endless, and there will be patronage. Today, in the 21st century, the people of the old Jiuyuan County, who lived on the other side of the Yellow River, were thunderous. The people of Shenmufugu in Shaanxi Province, who had been sad for a thousand years with the Hebao people, jumped out and cheered, and they stood on the spire of the "Shenfu Great Coalfield". When the hour came, The old man innocently threw the pie into the land.
In the valley across the river from Baode County, the two cities of Shenmu seem to have changed their magic overnight and made a fortune. The state discovered and developed the Shenfu Great Coalfield, and even the city of Datong, which has dominated the coal rivers and lakes for decades, is almost crowded out. Shenfu Coalfield is one of the seven major coalfields found in the world today, high-quality coal, low-cost mining, and black gold rolling in.
Standing on the side of the Shenshuo Railway today, the powerful internal combustion engine head, pulling the long line of coal transport that cannot be seen from the rear of the car, string after string, in addition to the spectacular is the sigh. The divine palace has become a myth, and the underground resources have made this hot land the richest in Shaanxi Province.
Baode County, across the river, has just woken up.
Early spring came to Baode. From Baode to Wutai Mountain to Cangzhou in Bohai Bay, it is an east-west horizontal highway. This road has become the busiest coal transportation channel in China. The vans that come and go along the way are endless.
Enter Baode at the high speed, which is the east bank of the Yellow River. The air that comes to the surface is noisy. Large and small vehicles, a road along the river, Baode people called "LinTao Avenue". There are more than ten kilometers, running through the outskirts of Baode City. The new district of Baode County is built on the Yellow River beach, with a saucer-style circular gymnasium, an administrative center, and a high-rise residential area called the Western-style "Gloria International". Through the old county town, all the way to the north head of the mountain roots and hills, a new high-grade forest park was built, and a pagoda overlooked the city.
Happy to see the changes in Prudent.
On three sides of the mountain and on the other side of the river, along the yellow city of Baode, it is crowded. In the memory of the old Baode County, there was originally a laneway-style east-west plum blossom road. The century-old houses in Baode County are almost invisible, and according to historical legends, when japanese devils invaded China, the guerrilla warriors in Baode County heroically killed the enemy, and the ghosts who were ashamed and angry set fire to Baode City.
Now Baode City has changed greatly, with many streets and high-rise buildings standing on both sides. The streets, alleys, are full of family cars, and parking is a problem for Baode. Horizontal seven vertical eight dense residential areas, one person lane is more.
There are many cars and many people, and it seems to be prosperous. However, compared with the Valley City of Shaanxi Province, which is across the river, it is a big difference. The county seat of Fugu County is very beautiful, and with money, it is willful. Standing on the east side of the river to see the Valley of Fugu, the novelty and fashionable buildings dwarf Baode. The splinter of high-rise buildings and the majestic fashion of the city from a distance. It is not an analogy of Baode County, and we cannot find such a county-level city in Shanxi. The owner of The Hotel's Baode said that there are several Baode at the top of the Valley of Renjia, which is 20 years behind. I said no.
The data shows that not to mention Shenmu, the fiscal revenue of Fugu County is more than 10 billion yuan per year, and The distance is not small. But Fugu's territory is more than three times larger than Baode's.
Prudent was actually not in a hurry. The People of Baode should understand that beneath the fragmented land, there are many rich treasures buried.
Baode County is located in the southern edge of the Shenfu Large Coalfield, and there are also high-quality and abundant coal species, and the proven reserves are more than 10 billion tons.
In Shanxi, where bauxite reserves are abundant, Baode occupies an important position, with nearly 10 billion reserves.
Iron ore, many counties have tens of millions of tons, hundreds of millions of tons of screaming with joy, Baode County, has been found to have billions of tons.
In addition, there are non-metallic mineral deposits such as limestone, all of which are more than tens of billions of equivalents. Prudent is a cornucopia, a virgin land to be developed.
Many Shanxi people have ventured into the rivers and lakes for development, or peacocks have flown southeast. There are also many Baode people who come to the city. Broadening your horizons and indulging in happiness must be good for the future.
Baode people do not have to be inferior.
In the morning, get up, have breakfast in Baode County, it is really difficult to find a shop. After several blocks, it took a while to feed my stomach. The master who sells flapjacks said that some People in Baode like to sleep late, so there are fewer people who sell early. Unlike Fugu, it was lively early.
In the past, it was said that Baode was a good place, and probably even Baode people thought it was ridiculous. Life is like this, winter sauerkraut, summer bitters, staple food is not enough melon bean vegetables. Now it is said that Baode is a good place, and it is modern talents who read out the value of Baode.
Coal, aluminum, and iron are buried so much, which is a gift from God to the Baode people who have persevered. A few years ago, The Baode people publicized that the treasures of this county are "one black and two red", in addition to coal, there are also sea red fruits, as well as oil dates. These two good things are geographical specialties of the border areas of Jinxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia, and have great potential for development.
The future of The Prudentials can already be expected. In the border area of Jinshan and Shaanxi, it will not take many years for a world-renowned modern industrial and mining star city to rise. Fugu, Baode will go hand in hand, and a million metropolises are not dreams.
Prudent's pride tomorrow is not a dream.
