Yiwu origin information

According to legend, in the Qin Dynasty, Yuyue, about 0/50 km west of the East China Sea, had a fertile field, favorable weather and good crops. It stands to reason that ordinary people should be well-fed and live and work in peace and contentment. However, due to the cruel exploitation of the local rich, many farmers lost their land and homes, or became serfs, or vagrants and beggars, living in dire straits.

There is a father and son named Yan. The father's name is Yan Feng and the son's name is Yan Wu. The two men fled from Shandong to the south. At first, they worked for a rich family, but later the rich man saw that Feng Yan was old and sick and had no oil and water to squeeze, so he drove the father and son out of the house. Yanwu and his father had to beg for a living.

Because of the frequent lack of food, the father and son are often dizzy with hunger, especially the elderly father, who is terminally ill. Fortunately, Yanwu is a dutiful son and serves his father well.

On one occasion, Yan Wu found a small cave on the way to beg. The area of the cave is small, but it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Yanwu was overjoyed. He tidied up the cave and moved some clean big stones, the big one as a bed and the small one as a stool. Since then, the father and son have settled in the cave.

In a blink of an eye, summer has arrived, and there are more mosquitoes in the caves. How to make a seriously ill father sleep well and not be disturbed by mosquitoes? Smart and filial Yan Wu has her own way. Every evening, Yanwu always takes his father outside the cave to enjoy the cool, and then he goes back to the cave and lies down naked. Those big, vicious mosquitoes buzzed around Yanwu and kept bombing him. An hour later, when the mosquito "retreated" satisfactorily, Yan Wu got up and went back to the cave to sleep with his old father on his back. Sometimes my father can't help asking, "Son, why are there so many red pimples on your face?" Yan Wu always smiled and said, "Dad, your eyes are not good, and my face is rosy!" " "

For a long time, Yan Wu's filial piety touched a nest of crows living in the cave. These crows eat mosquitoes when they see them, and then the mosquitoes in the hole disappear. When I come back for dinner, I will also leave some food for the crows. Father and son and crow became good neighbors.

One day at dawn, the crow was suddenly awakened by a cry of pain. Originally, Yanwu's father died, and Yanwu cried her eyes out at the door of the cave with her father's body in her arms. . . . . . The crow was also infected by the sad cry and was so sad that "wow!" Wow! Wow! "Cry loudly. Later, several crows left the nest and flew in different directions.

A few hours later, a miracle appeared. I saw thousands of crows flying to Yanwu and his son, and each crow had a white mourning circle around its neck. The crow circled the heads of Yanwu and his son several times, and then flew to the northwest. They brought soil from the yellow land 1 km away and piled it on Yanfeng. . . . . . These crows are busy flying back and forth. Soon, the crow's beak was injured, and the mud was stained with bits and pieces of crow's blood. . . . . .

On one occasion, Yan Wu found a small cave on the way to beg. The area of the cave is small, but it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Yanwu was overjoyed. He tidied up the cave and moved some clean big stones, the big one as a bed and the small one as a stool. Since then, the father and son have settled in the cave.

At night, the crow built a high grave.

It is said that after the death of the dutiful son Yan Wu, the crow was buried next to his father's grave. People built an ancestral temple here, called the filial piety temple. In order to commemorate the righteous crow injured during the construction of the grave, people call this area a black wound. After Qin Shihuang pacified Jiangnan, the county here was named "Wu Shang", and in 624 AD, it was called "Yiwu".

According to the old people, when crows pecked at the mud, the water in the pit turned into a pond, which is now the north of Tang Qin Passenger Transport Center; On the way, the crow's resting place lost a lot of mud with mud and became a hill. A few years ago, with the expansion of the city, Shantou Mountain, as a road, became a section of Chengzhong North Road, probably located near Yiwu Dengfeng Machinery Co., Ltd.

The origin of Yiwu's cause:

Since the reform and opening up, Yiwu has adhered to and deepened the development strategy of "prospering business and building the city", made great efforts to cultivate, develop and upgrade the market, vigorously promoted industrialization, internationalization and urban-rural integration, and embarked on a road of regional development with its own characteristics.

"This place used to be very poor, and the natural conditions for agriculture were not good. Many farmers have to go out to do business and sell sugar with rattles. When the local people are struggling for survival, the Yiwu government can only consider accepting them for survival when driving away the' street markets' in many places. I dare not say that the leaders in Yiwu have foresight. At that time, it was just an instinct: to support farmers and develop the economy. " Ma Lihong, vice president of Party School of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and vice president of Zhejiang Administration College, told China Economic Weekly.

As Dean Ma said, today's Yiwu is shaken by waves of drums. Although Yiwu leaders have no foresight, Yiwu people know what to do and what not to do. Yiwu people dare to be the first in the world. In the early 1980s, Yiwu took the lead in relaxing the industrial and commercial registration of self-employed households, allowing farmers to do business and opening up urban and rural markets. Farmers who let go of their hands and feet to do business like a duck to water have joined the business team. During this period, some business households initially completed the primitive accumulation of capital through operation, bought machines and set up processing plants, forming a family business model of "front shop and back factory".

The generous acceptance of Yiwu government has improved the living conditions of local people. From the government's point of view, with the increase of taxes, urban development will be more emboldened. Unexpectedly, once the market is formed and the circulation is large, businessmen flock to it. For a time, small commodities in Jinhua, Yongkang and other places were concentrated in Yiwu, and the Yiwu market grew gradually, eventually forming a distribution center, which was famous throughout the country and even the world.

Although a market was formed and Yiwu people got rid of poverty, they did not really get rich. At that time, the wholesale profit of a box of handicrafts was only 10 to 20 yuan. Therefore, enterprises in Yiwu will follow up one after another.

At first, Yiwu's commodities mainly came from Guangzhou, Ningbo and Wenzhou, and only a few of them were processed and manufactured locally. But at that time, the profit of manufacturing industry was quite high, and Yiwu only served these places. This has also led to the unbalanced mentality of some dealers, so they crossed the river by feeling the stones and started their own business (gained a small amount of capital through operation). Yiwu's enterprises have unique advantages: Yiwu's business owners are mainly farmers and have no higher education. They only know what to sell and what to produce, and they have no plan for the enterprise at all, let alone scientific management. The workers employed are also migrant workers from Jiangxi, Anhui and Hunan, producing some handicrafts and some simple daily necessities, which greatly reduces the cost. The socks produced yesterday are not popular with customers, and they will be replaced with a new style tomorrow. Once customers are satisfied, they put a lot of products into production, and at the same time, they develop new styles. With the passage of time, many enterprises have formed their own brand products. This is the Yiwu model enterprise that was later called "grassroots economy" by CCTV.
