City Headlines/Shanxi
There is no land that is not flowing through the water
There is no city that is not shaped by commerce

Shanxi, you have added "coal" to us for so many years, today, it is our turn to add "oil" to you. "Wuqiu Business Geography" only published the manuscript of Shanxi at this time, but also hoped to let the people of the whole country see that our care has not cooled with time. And we want that care to be hot again.

From the torrential rain in Shanxi during the National Day but "no one asks about Jin", to today's national assistance to Shanxi, Shanxi has really experienced a big ups and downs in the heart of the road!
However, when it comes to no one asking Jin, is this really the case? Obviously not! It is only this year that the extreme weather in the north is concentrated, before the Henan rainstorm accident just attracted the attention of the whole people, and then the north generally prematurely cooled down, rain and snow weather came early and the National Day holiday was idle, so that the whole people were neglected, and the energy was busy taking a vacation. And in this stall Shanxi and part of Shaanxi, there is extreme rainstorm weather, which really makes the whole people have no reaction!
But then again, this can't hide the fact that Shanxi has become so "small and transparent" today! Shanxi, which has appeared in the news recently, is either the Qiao family compound arbitrarily charging fees, or the coal mine accident! But no matter what, we must not forget Shanxi, because it is the root of our Chinese!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" >01 people say that Shanxi has good scenery</h1>
Shanxi, the land of the Three Jins, is also known as the Mountain and River of the Table!
It is said that three thousand years of China looks at Shaanxi, and five thousand years of China looks at Shanxi. Shanxi is indeed rich in history and culture, and is worthy of being a museum of ancient culture. Everywhere are the ancient city mansions, Baosha Zen Temple, grotto steles, ancient pagoda tombs, and dangerous fort passes. The yellow soil in the ravines and ravines is buried with thousands of years of Chinese civilization...
Shanxi belongs to North China and has always been an important "border city" in China in history! Shanxi has always been the "natural Great Wall" of the Central Plains Dynasty and the Han people! Shanxi is referred to as "Jin", and is also known as Dragon City!

Whether it is the internal war of hegemony and the unification of the world, which began in the Spring and Autumn Warring States, or the war of resistance of the Han nation to fight back against aggression, Shanxi has always been the forefront of the war! From yanmen, yunzhong and daijun in the Qin and Han dynasties to Datong, Shanxi, and Xuanfu in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has always been the forefront of the Central Plains Dynasty's defense against the invasion of the northern ethnic minorities from the south! Until modern times, this part of Shanxi was also the forefront of resisting the Japanese invaders! These shanxi place names, which are familiar in history, are the symbol of Shanxi as the steel backbone of the Chinese nation!
China has difficulties, and the land of the Three Jins bears the brunt of it! To this day, there are still the legends of the Princess of Pingyang and the remnants of the war in the peaceful Guanli! Perhaps there has never been a shortage of legends of heroes and beauties under Taiyuan City, and the combination of The Dragon City Fei and the border plugs of the palace women's show girls has made Shanxi, a regional city full of roughness, also rich in beautiful women like Wu Zetian, and countless heroes have sweated in the vast river of history!
If you search for it, you will find that among the celebrities in Shanxi, there are emperors such as Jin Wengong and Wu Zetian, there are famous people such as Lin Xiangru, Di Renjie, Wen Yanbo, and Sima Guang; there are famous generals such as Lian Po, Wei Qing, Huo Fuyi, Guan Yu, Xue Rengui, and Yang Ye; there are famous artists such as Wang Bo, Wang Zhizhuo, Wang Wei, Wang Changling, Liu Zongyuan, Bai Juyi, Mi Fu, Bai Pu, Guan Hanqing, Zheng Guangzu, Luo Guanzhong, and Fu Shan... Behind each name is an immortal martial art of Wenzhi, which can be described as the shining stars of human beings.
Although located in the north, Shanxi has never lacked good scenery! As Guo Lanying, an old artist from Pingyao, sang: "People say that Shanxi has good scenery, fertile land and beautiful grains." One finger in the left hand is Taihang Mountain, and the other finger in the right hand is Lü Liang. Standing on that high place and looking up, you see the water of the Fenhe River, rushing through my village! "And Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, is located between Taihang and Lüliang Yumai, and the Fenhe River that runs through the city also divides the city into new cities and old cities."
In the middle school texts, most of us have studied Wu Boji's essay "NanLaoQuan" and know the story of tongye fengdi in the Zhou Dynasty and the three families of the Spring and Autumn Warring States.
Many people come to relive the countless allusions precipitated in the Jinci Temple. In the evening, the vast Jinci Courtyard is empty, the quaint pavilions and pavilions under the sunset are particularly solemn, the towering ancient trees that snake and circle like dragons are lined up, the Ten Fang Fengsheng Zen Temple rebuilt by Tang General Wei Chigong is surrounded by Zen sounds, and Zhou Bai Tang Huai makes you feel a sense of vicissitudes through history.
In addition, there are also ancestral halls with the surname Of Zhang and Wang in the JinCi Temple, and it is said that king Zhang of the world is from Taiyuan. It's not surprising that the caste origin is here!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="123" >02 The Hongdong locust tree is the "root" of the Chinese</h1>
Speaking of which, this is also because Shanxi has Lüliang Taihang, and there are arch guards of the Yellow River, plus the Great Wall of Northern Jin, so that it retained a relatively good population in the era of war!
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to restore production, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, ordered the migration of Shanxi people with better population preservation to 18 provinces and more than 500 counties and cities such as Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Anhui, Beijing, and Jiangsu, where the population had dropped sharply! Among them, the population migration of the large locust tree in Hongdong County, Shanxi is the most famous!
From the sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1373 AD) to the fifteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1417 AD), there were more than ten large-scale migrations in about 40 years! So much so that many people across the country now think that they are the descendants of immigrants from Shanxi in the early Ming Dynasty!
My grandfather's family is said to have migrated from the big locust tree in Hongdong County, Shanxi to Shaanxi and then all the way to Gansu, I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told me a story about the big locust tree!
【Hongdong locust tree | from the network】
Of course, the abandonment of the land by the people of Shanxi is also related to the lack of local resource conditions - 80% of the terrain of Shanxi is mountainous, which means that it is extremely difficult for the people of Shanxi to survive on the land - and the cold season is relatively long!
This also prompted the Shanxi people's adventurous spirit to break into the world: "Brother, you go to the west entrance, the little sister I really can't stay, take my brother's hand, send my brother to the gate." This miserable song "Walking west" has been sung for a long time, telling the sorrow of countless newlyweds who have died and died, and also crying about the hardships of modern Shanxi people going abroad to make a living. Friends in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, said that most of the ancestors of the Baotou people are from Shanxi, and they are from Baotou, who came from the west.
When he was a child, he learned Zhao Shuli's yam egg pie novel, which was very peasant-oriented thinking and local color, and the soil was full of enthusiasm for life. Gradually, Shanxi is a barren land in my eyes, relying on the hard work of agricultural villages, a banner for opening up wasteland and cultivating land, and a great image like Chen Yonggui, the peasant premier, and Guo Fenglian, the iron girl.
But at the same time, due to risk-taking and thriftiness, many Shanxi people have accumulated a lot of wealth in the commercial era.
So when it comes to Shanxi, it's hard to tell whether it has money or no money.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="124" >03 Jinshang: Jumping in border city trade</h1>
When I was in middle school, I read Yu Qiuyu's "Holding Shame on Shanxi" and found that I had misread Shanxi too much.
The historical Shanxi is rich, and the area around Pingyao, Qixian and Taigu is rich in the world. This is mainly because of the characteristics of Shanxi's topography and the convenience of being a "border city" in the past and present, which has spawned the material demand brought by the border city of Shanxi due to the war, strengthened the commercial heritage genes and culture of Shanxi, and allowed Shanxi to enjoy the logistics supply as a war dividend and the direct commercial dividend of the early port trade field because of the border city!

Therefore, the Shanxi Shang Gang began to develop rapidly from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, they specialized in border trade, and gradually played the role of north-south cargo trading and long-distance transshipment, forming the Yuci Changjia, Taigu Caojia, Qixian Qiaojia, Pingyao Lijia, Lingshi Wangjia and other giant merchant families, and the salt industry and ticket number business became the main business of the Shanxi Merchant Gang, especially the ticket number business was a long-term role as the central bank in the Qing Dynasty.
Even in the Republic of China, where Shanxi's ticket numbers were completely in decline, representatives of Shanxi merchants were also in charge of the "financial power" of the Nationalist government in Southern China, where the Chaebols of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were crisscrossed! The feats of Shanxi merchants to open up the northern commercial market make us all hear, whether it is "walking to the west mouth" or "Qiao family compound", the complete rise of Shanxi merchants in the Ming and Qing dynasties is accompanied by the spirit of hard-working and courage to pioneer and innovate!
In the "Yongzheng Dynasty", many imperial court officials' evaluation of Shanxi is "Shanxi's old collection of wealth"!
【Evaluation of Jinshang| from film and television screenshots】
However, with the change of time, with the end of the world right of way era and the rise of sea power trade, as the representative of China, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian and Guangdong merchant gangs completely replaced the Shanxi merchant gang and galloped around the world! Today's Shanxi has also changed from a border city to an inland area because of the integration of land and the change of sea power trade!
This commercial town, which flourished during the Ming and Qing dynasties, was also replaced by a coastal city! But the fate is actually not thin for Shanxi, because of the existence of coal resources, Shanxi has become China's "coal" capital!
Regarding Shanxi coal, it is recorded as early as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The mountain of Mengmen, on which there is more pale jade, more gold, and more topaz and more than negne stone under it." "The mountain of the cardinal gate, on which there is more jade, and below it there are more chalks, more than negation stones." This "nirvana stone" is the ancient name for coal. Among them, Mengmen probably refers to the Jixian Mountainous Area in the south of the present-day Hedong Coalfield, and the "Benmen Mountain" refers to the Taihang Mountain area. In countless years of cold winter, this "nirvana stone" once warmed the people of Shanxi and could be used to "warm wine and hot meat". In addition, it is also used for smelting iron, copper, burning lime, burning bricks, making pottery, and can also extract black alum and sulfur from coal. This also gave rise to the custom of "Wanghuo" in Shanxi, and It is recorded in Guangxu's "Chronicle of Pingding Prefecture", "On the eve of the First Yuan, the family burns charcoal, and until the night of refining (burning) The Dayan, the flame is fierce, the phosgene is superior, and the heavens are red..."
The large amount of coal and the long mining time have made Shanxi stand out again in the period of modernization and transformation of the whole of China.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="125" >04 Today, we need to return to Shanxi</h1>
Today's China needs to be grateful for Shanxi's contributions over the years.
Especially since the 1980s and 1990s, the state has implemented the strategic decision of "strengthening the east and strategically moving west" in coal development, thus establishing the strategic position of the national energy base centered on Shanxi, and Shanxi has become the most convenient coal producing area for the implementation of "west coal to the east and north coal to the south" to developed provinces and economically developed areas in the new era, and the share of Jin coal in the market once reached 80%.
According to the 2020 National Economic and Social Development Statistical Communiqué released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the national coal consumption in 2020 will be 4.04 billion tons. Among them, the output of raw coal above designated size in the country is 3.84 billion tons, and the output of coal in Shanxi is 1.063 billion tons. Shanxi's coal production accounted for 27.68% of the country's coal production, meeting 26.3% of the country's coal consumption.
【For the sake of sister provinces and cities, Shanxi has made great contributions| from the network】
Without Shanxi's coal, China's industrialization and urbanization would not have developed so rapidly. Even in the face of this sweeping torrential rain, Shanxi is still trying to undertake the task of ensuring coal supply in the fourth quarter of the fourteen provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. Shanxi will give full play to the mission of a major coal-producing province, strive to increase coal production, dynamically stabilize coal prices, ensure national energy security, and support the economic construction of fraternal provinces.
This makes people can't help but respect Shanxi as a hanzi. It gives the contribution to others, but keeps the problem to itself. In other words, over the years, Shanxi has also become coal, and defeated coal!
The failure to transform from the coal industry as soon as possible has led to many cities being cursed by "resources", and the sky is as gray as Linfen's smog everywhere.
This also made Shanxi squeeze out the private economy and creative vitality, ending the once brilliant light industry, and now the coal industry that is too big to fall has become a heavy burden of transformation.
And this torrential rain, but also let us see the consequences of Shanxi over the years because of excessive coal mining, that is, the natural ecology in this rainstorm completely "nest", through the news media exposure of the situation, the Changyuan River Bridge only has two lone sleepers left, and countless land collapse caused by the loss is innumerable!
【The | of the jinzhong Changyuan River Bridge that was washed down is from the network】
The appearance of Jia Zhangke and his films makes people see another Shanxi, "Xiao Wu", "Platform", "Ren Xiaoyao", "Mountains and Rivers Old People", closed and chaotic small county towns, antique towers and desolate land, Shanxi dialect with a thick nasal tone jumping out of the hard and smelly, pulling black coal trucks and loess raised on the road... The Tone of Shanxi depicted in the shot is gray, and the fate of the characters is abandoned and ridiculed and alienated.
But at the same time, some coal bosses who have become rich overnight have also attracted the attention of others with exaggerated styles! Let's also have five tastes and miscellaneous tastes on Shanxi!
But no matter what, we need to thank Shanxi today, not only because of the spiritual inspiration of Shanxi people, the contribution of Shanxi people in business, but also because it once selflessly supported the modernization of the whole of China! Warmed the whole of China!
If one party has difficulties, the eight parties support it. Just when the People of Shanxi laughed at themselves as "no one asked Jin" and faced with disaster, they finally looked forward to attention and assistance. In recent days, rescue teams from Guangdong, Henan, Sichuan and other provinces have set off to help Shanxi; ByteDance, Ali, JD.com, Pinduoduo and other enterprises have donated tens of millions of yuan to Shanxi. Up to now, 12 Internet companies have donated more than 300 million yuan to support Shanxi.
As Xinhua said, "The people of the whole country owe the people of Shanxi a 'sorry'!" ", maybe the hot search and warmth will be late, but it will not be absent! This is a Chinese tradition, in the face of successive disasters, the people of the whole country are walking hand in hand, and no one will be left behind! Recently, the hot search for flood fighting in Shanxi and the hot search for the shortage of anti-epidemic materials are expressing the concern of the people of the whole country!
"Wuqiu Business Geography" only published the manuscript of Shanxi at this time, but also hoped to let the people of the whole country see that our care has not cooled with time. And we want that care to be hot again.
Although behind Shanxi's external material help is the stubbornness of "knife cutting noodles", as this passage says, "Shanxi is too obedient, every time it is to get up by itself, look down at the scars, say a word of refueling, and then push up its own small coal truck", but China has always been a whole, this is the unity of the enemy and the test of successive catastrophes and disasters!
Chinese people will never forget our loved ones, because of unity and unity, we are called the Chinese nation!
Chinese people in the face of catastrophes and calamities, there has never been a scene of great calamities coming to fly alone, no one asks whether Jinjin is a Chinese tradition, and what China needs has always been "Jinshan Jinmei"!
There should be applause here. If not, just give it a thumbs up
