The area of ??Xinyang is three times that of Anyang, but the economy is not as developed as Anyang. What is the reason?

Xinyang covers an area of ??18,925 square kilometers; Anyang covers an area of ??5,599 square kilometers. As the questioner said, the area of ??Xinyang is three times that of Anyang. Xinyang is located in the southernmost part of Henan Province and is the thoroughfare for the three provinces of Hubei, Hebei and Anhui; Anyang is located in the most southern part of Henan Province and is the junction of the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan. Xinyang has a population of 7.0343 million, and Anyang has a population of 5.8935 million; Xinyang is a large place with a sparse population, while Anyang is a small place with a dense population. Thank you friends for the invitation. Xinyang’s area is three times that of Anyang, but its economy is not as developed as Anyang’s. What’s the reason?

There is almost no big difference between GPp: Anyang 203.459 billion yuan; Xinyang 203.425 billion yuan. It ranks eighth or ninth in Henan Province, with little difference.

In terms of growth rate, Anyang ranks eighth, while Xinyang ranks outside, a bit slower. Why does Xinyang, which has a vast land and few people, develop as fast as Anyang, which has less land and more people? I think there are the following reasons:

Anyang is one of the eight ancient capitals, a national historical and cultural city, and one of the centers of Chinese civilization. During the Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were Cao Wei and Later Zhao. Six dynasties including Ran Wei, Qian Yan, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi established their capitals here, so Anyang is known as the ancient capital of the seven dynasties. Anyang is the place where oracle bone inscriptions were first discovered; the birthplace of the Book of Changes; the Museum of Chinese Characters and the Hongqi Canal; the largest bronze Siwu Dafang Ding was unearthed here; the ancient capital of the Yin Shang Dynasty in the Yin Ruins; and the capital of writing. Xinyang can only compare with them.

Anyang has an advantageous geographical location: the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and the Beijing-Guangzhou Expressway pass through the city to the east and west; the mountainous area is small and the plains are rich in fertile soil; the 107 National Highway crosses from the north to the south of the city, and the highway network is well-developed. ; And Xinyang has many mountainous areas, and the transportation is not as convenient and developed as Anyang.

Although Anyang is small, it is small but refined; Xinyang is solid, but large and scattered; During the early regional adjustment, Puyang people had a jingle and sighed: "Red dates" and "roasted chicken" were lost, leaving a few Old disaster area. It’s about the red dates in Neihuang County. The planting area reaches 460,000 acres, making it the famous “Hometown of Red Dates” in China! Daokou Roast Chicken is famous far and wide, well-known at home and abroad, and generates considerable profits every year! Linzhou City's Dahongpao pepper, hawthorn, walnut, and millet are also very popular among Chinese people; the "green and pollution-free small grains" from Tangyang, Yue Fei's hometown, are very popular; Longquan flowers sell well all over the country; famous and special products are of good quality and have many varieties.

Especially the leading enterprises: Hongqiqu National Economic and Technological Development Zone; Anyang Iron and Steel Group Company; Anyang Color Steel Group Company is the largest color glass bulb production base in China, and its output ranks fourth in the world. This is something Xinyang does not have.

Strong industrial foundation. Good foundation: Anyang is home to 466 industrial enterprises, and Anyang is a famous light textile industry base in Chinese history. So far, the industry integrating metallurgy, electronics, chemicals, electricity, machinery, textiles, medicine and tobacco has developed in an all-round way. Therefore, although Anyang is small and has a large population, the people of Anyang rely on the unique natural environment and the fine tradition of diligence and bravery to struggle and move forward in the tide of reform and opening up! I wish my hometown - Anyang will be the icing on the cake. It will reach a higher level!

Thanks for the opportunity to answer this question. As two important prefecture-level cities in Henan Province, Xinyang and Anyang still have some differences in their economic development levels. I would like to take this opportunity to briefly talk about my observations today.

Comparison of the current economic and industrial conditions of Xinyang and Anyang

According to 2017 data, Xinyang’s annual GDP was 222.655 billion yuan, with a per capita GDP of 34,528 yuan. The three industries The structure is 20.6:38.8:40.7, and the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size is 56.044 billion yuan;

Anyang’s GDP is 226.8 billion yuan, per capita GDP is 44,201 yuan, and the three industrial structures are 8.9:48.6:42.5 , the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size is 84.486 billion yuan;

After a simple comparison, we can find a very important issue, that is, the proportion of agriculture, the primary industry in Xinyang is much higher than that in Anyang (nearly 12 percentage points) , coupled with the low proportion of the secondary industry itself, the natural economic gap is reflected. It can be said that at present, Anyang is an industrial city, while most of Xinyang is an agricultural area. Naturally, the contribution of the primary industry to the economy and urban construction is far less than that of the secondary industry.

The future development direction of Xinyang and Anyang is to shift to the tertiary industry as soon as possible

As an area with a relatively heavy proportion of agriculture, Xinyang has a large number of nature reserves in its own area. It cannot follow the path of agriculture-industry-service industry. Perhaps it is more likely that Xinyang will directly jump from the primary industry to the tertiary industry in the future. A set of data to share with you, based on the industries of fixed asset investment in Xinyang in 2017, including the production and supply industry of electricity, gas and water, water conservancy, environment and public facilities management industry and transportation, warehousing and postal services The investment in these three industries related to residents' lives in Xinyang (8.985 billion yuan, 32.595 billion yuan, 19.617 billion yuan) totaled 61.197 billion yuan respectively, and the investment in Anyang also reached 65 billion yuan.

It can be said that these two cities have made great efforts in infrastructure investment. In the future, I personally feel that the urban economy and infrastructure will be greatly improved.

I think the economic differences between Xinyang and Anyang are as follows.

1. Terrain. Anyang is a plain area, while Xinyang is a hilly area with many mountains. Although Xinyang has a large area, the cultivated land area is small. Whether it is developing agriculture, industry, road construction, or infrastructure, Anyang has more advantages.

2. Geographical location. Anyang is far away from Zhengzhou, Hebei and Beijing. The location is closer to other industrial and economic regions. In addition, the area is flat, the cost of infrastructure and transportation are lower, and the advantage of attracting investment and development is greater than that of Xinyang. Xinyang is surrounded by poverty-stricken areas. It is difficult to attract industry and it is difficult to attract industries.

3. Xinyang is completely different from other cities in Henan in terms of cultural customs and terrain, and is quite different from the overall development direction of Henan. You can imagine the difficulty of self-development without being able to take the bus in the general direction and having to work alone.

4. Xinyang is one of the cities with the highest population outflow in Henan. Those who go out to work are all middle-aged people. Once young people leave, the aging rate is high, and the elderly have no economic output at all.

Objectively speaking, there is nothing else in Xinyang except tea. There is no good industry, light industry is not good, let alone heavy industry and the like, the foundation is weak. Traveling, except that Jigong Mountain is a bit famous, there is not much else. However, in recent years, Xinyang has been rated as a livable city in the country, and it has also driven a lot of tourism. Many scenic spots such as Xinyang Mall, Luoshan, and Gushi are well known. Secondly, Xinyang high-speed rail, airport, and transportation are very convenient. But Xinyang will develop even better in the near future! Anyang has a long history. It is an ancient capital and a heavy industrial city, with a stronger foundation than Xinyang. From the current point of view, it is certainly stronger than Xinyang. This is purely a personal opinion, thank you all.

1. In terms of industry, the total operating income of industrial enterprises in Xinyang in 2017 was 245.5 billion yuan, and that in Anyang was 361.2 billion yuan. Moreover, the proportion of tertiary industry in Xinyang was 20.6:38.8:40.7, and that in Anyang was 8.9:48.6 :42.5. Therefore, judging from official statistics, it is obvious that Anyang is more industrially developed than Xinyang.

2. In terms of location advantages, Xinyang is located at the southernmost tip of Henan and Anyang is located at the northernmost tip of Henan. However, the distance between the two cities and the provincial capital is completely different. Xinyang has no policy, geographical or transportation advantages. Anyang is located to the north of the Yellow River and started developing earlier. Moreover, Puyang once belonged to Anyang, and Anyang is also rich in mineral resources and is now developing tourism.

In short, I think there is not much difference between Xinyang and Anyang in terms of total economic output. However, due to the influence of population size, Xinyang is lower than Anyang on a per capita basis and appears underdeveloped. The reason is that Xinyang has too few advantageous conditions and its industry started late.

Hello friends! Anyang, Xinyang, South Gate and North Gate of Henan! They are all well-known cities in Henan, each with its own economic strengths. Generally speaking, Anyang has developed industry and stable agriculture. This is also a fact! But Xinyang’s Maojian is famous at home and abroad!

Combined with history, let’s take a look at the different development paths of the two!

Anyang is an ancient city. Some place names explain the history of industrialization, such as Shuiye Town, Tongye Town, etc., which have been in existence for more than a thousand years. They talk about the large-scale use of water for thousands of years ago. The smelting of iron and copper! To this day, the largest steel company in Henan still stands in Anyang!

Anyang is backed by the Taihang Mountains and faces the Shandong Plain. The Huan River flows through the city. It is the birthplace of Chinese writing. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, a railway was successfully built (Beijing-Guangzhou Line). An airport was built during the Republic of China. , after the founding of New China, Anyang became the light and heavy industry base of Henan Province, with various types of heavy industries, light textiles, machining, industrial control, especially emerging aircraft and drone projects, etc., with a complete range of industries, which have accelerated in recent years. Major municipal construction, vigorous development of economy and trade, clothing and textile production and trade, and commodity wholesale transfer, it can be said that it has radiated to Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, and the financial industry is changing with each passing day! Transportation is accessible in all directions, such as 107, high-speed rail, Beijing-Guangzhou, and high-speed trains. It only takes four or five hours to get to Beijing and just over an hour to Zhengzhou... as well as the newly built dedicated line from Shanxi to Shandong, and the new airport is also under planning and construction! Therefore, the total economic output value of Lundao, especially the per capita total output value, is not only much higher than Xinyang, but also second to none in the surrounding areas!

As the southern gate of Henan, Xinyang can be said to be a rising star in economic construction. When it comes to Xinyang Maojian, it can be said that everyone knows it. In addition, the territory is vast and the development prospects are unlimited! Especially in recent years, Xinyang's economy has grown rapidly, and it has a clear advantage in this regard. The city's appearance is changing with each passing day!

Economic development also requires a certain amount of accumulation, such as high-quality, a certain number of skilled technical industrial personnel, a mindset that dares to fight, and a heavy historical accumulation. All of this requires not only resources and people, but also It takes time... With the development of the country, Anyang and Xinyang will definitely fly together, each showing their strengths, and standing in the north and south of Henan!

As a person from southern Henan, I have the following views on the question raised by the questioner.

First of all, when it comes to the economic development of Anyang and Xinyang, we need to know the development models of these two cities. Everyone who understands the economy of Henan basically knows that the development of northern cities in Henan is generally better than that of southern cities. For example, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, Zhengzhou, and Anyang in northern Henan are all doing well in terms of economic development. The reason is that northern cities are mainly industrial and have relatively sufficient momentum for urban development, while cities in southern Henan like Xinyang are mainly agricultural. Moreover, southern Henan has less cultivated land and a large population, so economic development is not easy.

The above table is the economic ranking of 18 cities in Henan Province in 2018. We can see that even though Xinyang’s administrative area ranks second in the province, which is N times that of Anyang, its total economic volume still ranks second in Anyang. after. A large part of this is the issue of industrial base. We can simply make a comparison. Among the development zones, there are two national-level ones in Anyang, one national-level high-tech industrial development zone and one national economic development zone. As of 2013, the number of industrial enterprises in Anyang has reached 466, including 64 large and medium-sized enterprises, and the scale of Anyang Iron and Steel and Ancai is even larger.

Compared with Anyang in terms of industry, Xinyang is like a blank slate. For now, Xinyang still does not have a national-level economic development zone and only two provincial-level development zones. The scale of industrial enterprise development is It is still small and medium-sized, the local industrial industry is weak, and there are even fewer well-known local companies. Except for the relatively well-known tea industry, the rest are still in their infancy. The following table is the directory of well-known companies in Xinyang given on the website of the Xinyang Municipal Government.

Of course, although Xinyang’s industry is backward and its economic development is slow, Xinyang’s environment is much better than Anyang’s. The most typical example of this is the air quality in winter. Northern Henan is so popular that Xinyang remains the same. The air is good, the cities in the north have restricted traffic numbers on odd and even numbers, and cars are still running around in Xinyang. This is also an advantage of Xinyang.

Anyang’s strength has its roots in tradition, and it did not become strong suddenly.

First, Anyang had a certain industrial foundation in modern history. Yuan Shikai was dormant in Anyang not only because Anyang had convenient transportation, but also had a good army and a military industry that was not weak at the time.

Xinyang is blank in this regard.

Industrial development has never been achieved overnight. With a foundation, it is easier to gather new enterprises. Therefore, New China has established a large number of enterprises, which continues to this day.

Second, Anyang has richer tourism resources than Xinyang. Yin Ruins is cultural tourism, Hongqi Canal is red tourism, and Yuefei Temple is patriotic tourism than Qian Temple. The tourism has many levels and complements each other, and is less affected by fluctuations in the tourism market.

Xinyang has red Dabie Mountain tourism and tea culture tourism, which are generally inferior to Anyang.

Third, Anyang has many large enterprises. For example, the original three major factories: cigarette factory, steel factory, and glass bulb factory, followed by fertilizer factories and other enterprises, relied on high wages (in 2000, the average salary of the glass bulb factory was 5,000-8,000 yuan per month) to gather a large number of talents. , this group of people have settled down in Anyang. This is more important than the enterprise. There will be no shortage of technical personnel in setting up production-oriented enterprises in Anyang.

Fourth, since Anyang has a large number of technical talents, production has never been a problem. Therefore, various small private factories clustered nearby, and even a large number of nearby farmers came to set up factories, producing everything from tricycles to toilet paper. Wait for everything that can be produced. Xinyang is probably worse in this regard.

Fifth, Anyang people have a lively mind. From a distance, often traveling across provinces to Hebei to do business is of course not without deception, but it also opens your horizons. Once you return to normal business, it is often easier to do well.

I feel that there are too many honest people in Xinyang.

In short, strength is not one aspect, but strength in many aspects, ultimately forming an overwhelming advantage.

There are so many reasons, what’s the use of just asking questions

Hello! This is a great question. To be honest, the development of Xinyang City is restricted because the area of ??Xinyang is too large and the urban area of ??Xinyang is too far to the west. If you open the map, you can see that the total area of ??Xinyang is almost as large as the entire northern Henan. And the city The location of the district is not in the center. Counties below it are 100-150-200 kilometers from the city, so many people from the lower counties are unwilling to go to Xinyang. Xinyang has no siphon effect and no radiation ability, so it is not that big compared to larger county-level cities. The difference
