In what year did Zigong build salt?

In September 1939, 1, the market was established due to salt.

Seventy years ago, when the Chinese nation suffered great disasters and cities fell in succession, on the administrative map of the southwest of the motherland, cities dedicated to the war of resistance were born in the war. She is the famous salt capital-Zigong. Over the past 70 years, especially since the founding of New China, from hard struggle, setbacks to re-emergence, from salt wells everywhere to comprehensive emerging industrial cities, generations of Zigong people have devoted countless efforts and sweat to this thriving land, which has made this land saturated with strong salt flavor glow with vitality. Now, let's go into history together and witness the glory and dreams of this city.

This is a city that thrives on salt. As early as 2000 years ago, well salt mining began in Zigong area, and 13000 salt wells were successfully dug with only one bamboo and one piece of iron. "Slip through the crypt and suck Hong Tao; Yamazawa psychic, fire and water meet; It is a true portrayal of well salt production at that time. Relying on the historical opportunity of saving Chu by Sichuan salt for the first time, Zigong's salt production jumped to the peak, and it was called "Salt Capital" until it occupied the position of Sichuan salt industry. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the coastal salt areas fell one after another, and Zigong, as one of the important towns in the rear area that maintained the national economic lifeline during the Anti-Japanese War, became increasingly prominent. In order to promote salt production, ensure military and civilian use, and support the national war of resistance, the then Sichuan provincial government officially approved the establishment of Zigong City on September 1939 and 1. Zigong became the first provincial city in modern China because of the prosperity of salt industry.

This is a city with a long industrial civilization. 200 years ago, when China was still in a farming society, industrial civilization had sprouted in Zigong, forming an industrial system with wells, stoves, pots and numbers as the main body, becoming the largest handicraft workshop in China in the mid-Kloc-0/9th century, with 654.38 million industrial workers. At the peak, salt tax revenue accounted for 80% of Sichuan salt tax. With the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Zigong salt industry once fell into recession. After the founding of New China, under the leadership of China Producer Party, the large-scale socialist transformation enabled the salt industry to recover and develop rapidly. The subsequent implementation of "Chemical City Construction" and "Third Line Construction" brought together a large number of chemical and heavy equipment enterprises in Zigong and a large number of technologies, talents and funds, which greatly enriched the industrial categories, and Zigong's modern industry set sail from here. In the 1990s, subject to institutional mechanisms, Zigong, like other old industrial cities, was once in trouble in industrial development. After experiencing the pain of extricating itself from difficulties, Zigong's industry has finally re-entered the benign track of rapid development. Although the road to development has twists and turns, the fire of industrial civilization has been passed down from generation to generation in this city.

This is an outstanding city. Zigong has beautiful mountains and rivers, simple and natural, and rich products. The winding and quiet Fuxi passes through the city, and the underground brine and natural gas support this fire-water compatible city. In this land with aura, generations of outstanding figures have been born: from Yan Duo, Xiong Guo to Song Dynasty, literary talent is romantic and magnificent; From Liu Guangdi to Wu, Lu Deming, and, for the country and the people, wave upon wave; After the founding of New China, the people of Du Yan devoted themselves to socialist construction. More than 700 people have been rated as provincial and national model workers, and a large number of outstanding talents such as academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences Wang, Hou Chaohuan, Olympic champions and cultural celebrities have emerged. They add color to the ancient Du Yan, and Du Yan people are proud of them.

This is a city with rich cultural heritage. Hundreds of millions of years of dinosaur caves, well salt production in 2000 and lantern culture in 800 years have endowed this city with profound accumulation and rich inside information, and won the reputation of "hometown of dinosaurs", "Millennium Salt Capital" and "Southern Lantern City". The heavy culture gave birth to Zigong's tolerant and open temperament and the spirit of scientific innovation and patriotic dedication. In this land, the deep drilling and deep pumping technology of well salt, which is included in the world intangible cultural heritage, has been created, and the world's first deep well over 1,000 meters has been dug; Touching patriotic anti-Japanese war donation activities were carried out on this land, and the total amount of donations ranked first in cities across the country; In this land, people from all directions have been accepted, and they have jointly created the prosperity and glory of a city. The course of struggle since the founding of New China has made this culture and spirit keep pace with the times and become an inexhaustible motive force to inspire us to overcome difficulties and forge ahead.

Happy to see the present-great achievements have been made in reform and opening up

Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory, under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and under the unified leadership of previous municipal committees and municipal governments, the people of Du Yan, accompanied by the spring breeze of reform and opening up and bathed in the baptism of the market tide, have accelerated their economic and social development in an all-round way, achieved remarkable development achievements and written a new chapter that keeps pace with the times.

In the past five years, foreign capital of 23.4 billion yuan has been introduced, and friendly relations have been established with cities in the United States, South Korea, Russia and other countries, and a multi-level and wide-ranging opening pattern has initially taken shape.

In Zigong today, social undertakings have made all-round progress. Give priority to the development of education and fully implement nine-year compulsory education.

Things have changed, and I am deeply touched. These changes, engraved with the footprints of Zigong people's United struggle and hard struggle, are full of the surging pride of Du Yan's sons and daughters who are unwilling to lag behind and strive for the first place. These changes are the vivid embodiment of the Party's reform and opening-up policy in Zigong and the concrete practice of Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development in Zigong. We will never forget the concern of the party and state leaders and the leaders of previous provincial committees, provincial people's congresses, provincial governments and provincial political consultative conferences for the development of Zigong; We will never forget the help and support given to Zigong by the provincial departments, sister cities and twin cities.

Here, please allow me, on behalf of the Zigong Municipal Committee and the people of Zigong City, to express my heartfelt thanks and high respect to the leaders, people from all walks of life and friends who care about and support the development of Zigong, and to the 3.2 million people of Du Yan!

Looking forward to the future-the Millennium salt will be recast.

Recall the past and carry forward the past. Seventy years have passed, and the baton of history has arrived in our hands. Facing the great opportunity of accelerating development and the challenges and difficulties on the road ahead, we have no reason to relax and no excuse to hesitate. Standing at a new historical starting point, we should be more confident. No matter what conditions and difficulties we encounter, we should adhere to development as the most prominent and urgent task in accordance with the requirements of scientific development, give priority to enriching the people, emancipate our minds, seize opportunities, overcome difficulties, and strive to promote accelerated economic development, coordinated urban and rural development, and harmonious social development. Standing at a new historical starting point, we should take more solid steps, firmly grasp the reality of Zigong, rely on the development foundation accumulated in 70 years, unswervingly implement the strategy of strengthening the city through industry and revitalizing the city through science and education, focus on optimizing development conditions, deepening reform and opening up, ensuring the improvement of people's livelihood, and accelerate the comprehensive revitalization of old industrial cities with the goal of "double hundred cities" and "hundred billion industries". Standing at a new historical starting point, our fighting spirit should be even higher. We should turn the heavy traditional culture into spiritual power, gather the good wishes of Du Yan's children into a joint force of development, vigorously create a strong atmosphere of enterprising, harmonious progress, let all kinds of entrepreneurial vitality compete to generate, let all kinds of creative sources flow continuously, and let all kinds of wisdom potential be fully released. We should work together, forge ahead, and strive to build Zigong into a regional central city with a population of one million in Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone. It will become a secondary comprehensive transportation hub in the whole province, an important machinery and equipment manufacturing base in the west of China and a unique cultural tourism destination, and create a new glory of the Millennium Salt Capital.
