We love to read textile enterprises with a hundred years of development history fell to the ground and became a historical passerby, just like the TV series "Prosperous" said, everyone is a passerby on the Yellow River Road, hurriedly passed without leaving a trace, the Yellow River Road is still the Yellow River Road, once things were people and everything is resting, and disappear with time. A textile enterprise with a sense of historical vicissitudes and a history of 100 years of development, Guangyi Yarn Factory was founded in 1901 at the end of the Qing Dynasty and completed and put into operation in 1903. The number 1903 looks very familiar, as if it is a number on the label of a beer bottle, that era is the era when China's national industry began to rise, and it is also the time node when China's national enterprises are blooming everywhere. The tortuous development process of Guangyi Yarn Factory is the representative of the history of the development of cotton textiles in the country.
At the beginning of the establishment of the private Guangyi yarn factory enterprise, it was the era of the rise of the national industry, and some national enterprise investors saw the opportunity to carry out a series of commercial investment and operation to prepare for the establishment of industrial enterprises. Guangyi yarn factory enterprises were born at this time, national capital investors jointly invested in Anyang City to build a yarn factory, located on the bank of the Huan River, located in the capital of Yinxu, Guangyi Yarn Factory is the earliest cotton spinning mill in Henan Province to establish a larger, newer equipment, marking the beginning of the development of modern industry in Anyang. In that war-torn era, the business environment was turbulent and difficult, the city changed the chaotic situation of the Dawangqi, experienced the name change and the change of investment shareholders many times, and the industrial park also had a desolate shutdown stage. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the cotton textile factory was rebuilt, and the once glorious and busy industrial scene was restored, contributing to the construction of socialism; However, bad luck in 2000 after the enterprise reform of the company system after the operation of the slump, ten years later into bankruptcy liquidation, a century-old enterprise ended up so miserable, it is a pity. Walking on the site of a century-old spinning enterprise, there is always a doubt in my mind, in the modern industrial history of textile enterprises to compress the production capacity of cotton dan matter, there was a scene in the movie "Choice", the local use of administrative means to limit the production of compressed cotton dan scene, although experienced the reform and opening up period, until now has not figured out the detailed reasons for the compression of cotton dan at that time, can not find relevant information on the Internet, very confused.
Anyang is an ancient city of the imperial capital more than 3,000 years ago, the Shang Dynasty civilization flourished in this land for hundreds of years, has a glorious history of cotton textile mills in northern Henan and Anyang Iron and Steel Group, and now the bankruptcy of large enterprises, the migration of migration, have left this land to find other development opportunities and space, the process of upgrading the industrial capacity of the ancient city is unsustainable, and the only way left is to rely on the Yinxu text cultural relics to develop tourism and cultural green industry, Taking the tourism and cultural industry as an operating mode to promote the development of green economy industry in the future, it is also an alternative path for economic development. The new museum was opened for visitors to visit at the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, and the museum opened to customers to present an excellent feast of text reading. According to the information: the new Yinxu Museum is adjacent to the Huan River. The new Yinxu Museum covers an area of 2625 acres, building scale 510,000 square meters, with an exhibition hall area of about 220,000 square meters, will display nearly 4,000 sets of bronze, pottery, jade, oracle bones and other cultural relics, the number of cultural relics on display, the types are complete, are the most cultural relics exhibition of the Shang Dynasty. The new museum has three basic exhibitions, namely "Exploring Shang Civilization", "Great Shang Civilization" and "World Shang Civilization", as well as four thematic exhibitions and a special immersive digital exhibition. The archaeology of Yinxu, which lasted for nearly 100 years, reproduces the highly developed bronze civilization in East Asia more than 3,000 years ago, and looks back on the exploration process of Shang civilization, Yinxu is the starting point and cornerstone of written civilization culture, and has the cultural connotation and archaeological significance of Yinxu. Some of the national treasure-level bronzes returned to the Yin Ruins site for exhibition, and it is a rare opportunity to appreciate them.
The address of the century-old textile enterprise is near the Yinxu Museum, and it is not easy to reshape and revitalize the original factory area due to the bankruptcy of the enterprise. Through the historical and cultural precipitation of the past hundred years, relying on the Yinxu cultural site on the bank of the Huan River, we will build a tourism and cultural style town that young people like in the new era, take into account the cultural and literary hobbies and nostalgia of a small number of elderly people, and share the historical story of text development.
At dusk, we walked in the town, in the dilapidated factory gate, the wooden sign of "Henan Yubei Textile Co., Ltd." is still hanging at the door, still retains the traces of the past life, leaving an ethereal memory from the dust of the years. The busy office building has been completely vacant, standing silently, like a lonely figure of a left-behind old man, and the open space in front of the building is covered with dust-proof green nets to control the dust. The dappled light and shadow of brown moss reflect on the blue brick walls, and the untrimmed green plants in front of the building grow freely, playing a living space, and lazy travelers walk through it, as if looking for the footprints of the past in a hurry. Rows of factories are neatly arranged, waiting to be revitalized. A row of paintings depicts the glorious history of the past, the history of nearly 100 years of corporate changes from 1903 to 2020, and the vicissitudes of the world have undergone several changes, leaving behind the sound of sighing after all.
Wandering in front of the corridor wall painting, the history of corporate change described in the preface is displayed as follows:
Guangyi Yarn Factory was established in 1901 and began to build a plant, completed and put into operation in 1903, Sun Jianai, Xu Xianzhou, Ma Jisen, Zheng Zigu, Xu Fushou and others raised 2 million silver dollars, covering an area of 350 acres, building more than 2,800 brick and wood structure houses, the introduction of modern textile machinery, the scale of more than 20,000 spindles.
After the start of operation in 1903, due to the dumping of foreign goods, domestic products were restricted, and losses were incurred again and again. In 1908, it was closed, and then with the approval of the Qing Dynasty, the whole factory was mortgaged by the houses and equipment, and the loan of 300,000 taels was borrowed from the Daqing Bank to start work again.
In 1914, Guangyi Yarn Factory changed hands to Yuan Yuying, Yuan Yuying was Yuan Shikai's nephew, influenced by his uncle, Yuan Yuying and others in the Beijing and Tianjin newspapers to buy the old shares of Guangyi Sand Factory, and held the real power of Guangyi Yarn Factory. In 1923, Yuan Xinchen replaced Yuan Yuying as the general office.
After the occurrence of "Wuchuan" in 1925, the owner Yuan Xinchen was forced by the situation to lease Guangyi Yarn Factory to others in 1928 and renamed Yuxin Yarn Factory.
In 1939, it was accepted by Japanese businessmen as the first factory managed by the Japanese army, and the workers were oppressed by the capitalists and Japanese invaders. The original 73 spinning machines were forced to be transported to Tianjin to be converted into munitions, and only 12 and the corresponding front and rear spinning equipment remained.
In April 1947, Liu Deng's troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army conquered the Guangyi Yarn Factory and moved the remaining 12 spinning machines and corresponding equipment to Wu'an County and Village in Hebei Province.
In the spring of 1950, Comrade Li Jiayin, then deputy director of the Logistics Department of the Artillery Command of the North China Military Region, led more than 60 soldiers from the North China Artillery Division and the Handan Military Subdivision who had just left the battlefield filled with gunpowder to devote themselves to the new battlefield to rebuild the yarn factory in order to solve the problem of supplying the troops, and renamed it the North Henan Textile Factory.
In 1952, the northern Henan textile factory, which was originally operated by the army, was handed over. In 1955, it was renamed as the local state-owned North Henan Yarn Factory, and in 1959, it was designated as the North Henan Textile Factory in Henan Province.
In 1985, the factory director responsibility system was implemented to promote the economic contracting responsibility system and the labor contract system for all employees. In 1991, the textile industry was limited in production and pressure, and the enterprise was pushed to the market. This national capital textile enterprise in 2000 in Henan Yubei textile factory on the basis of reform, Henan Yubei Textile Co., Ltd. was inaugurated on December 18, 2000, the century-old Henan textile industry set up an immortal monument. The factory has experienced the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Japanese invasion, the warlord melee and the founding of New China and other historical periods, spanning a hundred years of yarn mill is a typical representative of the early stage of industrial construction in Anyang, until 2014 when the yarn factory officially declared bankruptcy, the former busy factory suddenly became deserted.
In September 2020, Anyang City officially launched the Northern Henan Yarn Factory Renovation Project - Anyang Yinxu Archaeological and Cultural Tourism Town, which is a supporting service project of Yinxu National Archaeological Site Park, covering a total area of 250 acres, to create a cultural tourism block integrating archaeological research, leisure and entertainment, and cultural tourism.
In an era a hundred years later, this century-old yarn factory area was reborn. Today's spinning mills are no longer a factory area for cotton yarn production, but a food district full of human fireworks, where you can enjoy multiple delicious food, enjoy movies and playgrounds, this neighborhood is a sea of fun for children and a food court to enjoy to their heart's content, Starbucks coffee, fried chicken and other shops are scattered, and customers come and go in and out to present a prosperous scene. At night, under the illumination of colored lights, the light of the jade pot turns, the night of fish and dragon dance, the bright lights of the Huanhe River and the bright words of the Yinxu ruins hold night tour activities, full of fireworks The century-old textile tourism factory area is connected together, constituting the overall tourism scene of Anyang City. "Huanhe Night Tour" integrates digital light and shadow, live performances, cruise experience and other formats, and combines Yinxu ruins and century-old cultural towns to form a tourist attraction, highlighting characteristic culture and cultural tourism consumption, and integrating visiting, touring, food, and playing with an outdoor tourism experience. Establish a modern cultural tourism market system, break down the barriers between cultural resources, cultural relics resources and tourism resources, and establish the market dominant position of cultural and tourism enterprises.
Although it has lost in the industrialized market, although it has closed a door, it may be a development opportunity in the new era to reopen a window. From the Yinxu Museum to the cultural town, what do tourists see in the museum, what activities do they tease and play, how deep can those bronzes be understood, which bronzes are priceless, and whether they belong to the treasures of the museum. Walking around the exhibition room, many introductory texts can not be read, such as 卣, 斝, 盨, 簋, 軎, 甗, 簠, 罍......After walking out of the exhibition hall, my mind was at a loss, how much historical knowledge was left in my memory, and how many changes in those vast and boundless historical dynasties could still be remembered. From the museum to the cultural tourism town, from the ancient time and space to the real space, in an instant to complete the sense of three thousand years of historical travel, there are always ethereal thoughts, both of which are in the same period of three thousand years of changes in the land, ancient and modern are so close. When you stop in front of a certain bronze object, you suddenly sincerely admire the exquisiteness of the vessel and the charm of the texture, this museum has achieved its mission. Walking in the cultural tourism town, returning to the real society, and sharing the atmosphere of fireworks in the world, isn't it a happy life, and it is also the joy of life to live in today's life.
Walk into the textile industry history museum in this century-old factory, feel the entrepreneurial experience and family life of employees in the past century, and use vivid cases to decipher the past efforts and contributions. The past is gone, but the cultural traces left behind cannot be forgotten, precipitated in the fireworks of the world, and let it go away.
