Why is Jiangxi, Hunan Province a poor mountainous area?

As two big provinces in central China, why didn't Hunan and Jiangxi develop after more than 20 years of reform and opening up? The main reasons are as follows:

Politics: Hunan people and Jiangxi people often say to outsiders: "Without the hard work of Laozi, there would be no happy life now." Yes, since the Nanchang Uprising, the uprisings in Hunan and Jiangxi have been the most intense and powerful. The people of the two places made a good start for the victory of the China revolution, and also trained a large number of backbones for the revolution and construction of China after the founding of New China. Because of this, for a long time after the founding of New China, most of the main leaders who ruled China came from Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. As the saying goes, if a family wins the first prize, the village will be blessed. After thousands of years of success, China will repay the traditional virtues of his compatriots with gratitude. Because of this, as the leader of the highest leading body in China, after gaining power, it is natural to repay the elders in Jiangdong. As the main forces in collective leadership, Hunan and Jiangxi naturally gain the most. But it is a good thing that this kind of return is achieved through government allocation. If you want to develop, you must have enough development funds. With these continuous grants, economic construction will be guaranteed. However, the situation has not developed in this direction. On the contrary, the officials of the two provinces forgot their functions because of these pies falling from the sky and made a fortune. Naturally, when you are full, you won't feel hungry, and naturally you won't care so much about the economies of the two provinces, which makes the economies of the two provinces stop. Besides, with the massive investment of the central government, the officials of the two provinces naturally pay less attention to attracting investment, which attracts not only money but also high-end technology. As a result, enterprises in the two provinces have no high-value technology, and naturally they are not competitive in the national market, let alone in the international market. Without competitiveness, how can they develop their economy? It can be seen that political and economic assistance has not only failed to help the development of the two provinces, but has slowed down their development.

History: Hunan and Jiangxi provinces have been major agricultural provinces since ancient times. For thousands of years, two provinces have always occupied an important position in China because of their grain output. People in these two provinces are used to farming for a living. Because of fertile soil and suitable climate, men cultivate and women weave, and they live a self-sufficient life without poverty and competition. This self-sufficient and closed lifestyle has continued to this day. For a long time, China has been in a socio-economic model dominated by agriculture. Developed agriculture means great progress in developed economy and natural culture. Historically, these two lands have indeed produced many scholars, raised people and even won the top prize. In this way, Confucian culture has also been deeply spread here, and some stale things in Confucian culture are deeply rooted here, which is difficult to get rid of for a while, and the ability to accept new things is naturally weak. Advanced culture is the driving force of economic development. Without this driving force, economic development will naturally be slow. Moreover, in history, both provinces had a short period of being invaded by foreigners, and their cultures were basically unaffected. Advanced technology and culture have not been well developed here, let alone competition. It can be seen that the history of self-sufficiency and complacency has brought serious adverse effects to the exhibitions of the two provinces.

Geography: Hunan Province and Jiangxi Province are located in the middle of China, on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The eastern and southern regions are adjacent to the sea, which is convenient for modern trade and economic and cultural exchanges, easier to open up and greatly influenced by the outside world. The introduction of foreign cultures has greatly changed these local cultures, and they have a strong sense of development and competition. They attach great importance to attracting investment, independent innovation and going abroad. With this awareness, the natural economy has developed rapidly. In the vast northwest and southwest regions, the economy has been unable to develop in the past because of the harsh geographical environment, inconvenient transportation, sparse population and reluctance to enter. Because of this, local officials realized the seriousness of poverty and the urgency of economic development. The government took the lead in desperately changing the investment environment and constantly learning from the outside world, forcing them to change themselves and strive for a better life. Hunan and Jiangxi provinces always think that the earth is square because of their comfortable living environment, content with the status quo, little communication with the outside world, no strong sense of exchange and learning, no sense of competitive crisis, no awareness of their own shortcomings and no knowledge of pursuit. It can be seen that the geographical advantage has also hindered the development of the two places under the wrong use.

As can be seen from the above, only the central government strictly regulates the allocation of funds, correctly guides the lower levels to use the allocation of funds, stimulates the two provinces economically and culturally, makes the officials and people of the two provinces understand their backwardness and deficiencies, changes their closed lifestyle, and introduces advanced culture here, can the people in this region clean up their decadent ideas, make good use of their geographical advantages, and develop their economies rapidly, so that the two provinces will not fall behind in the tide of reform and opening up.
