Chapter 10 Talk about Yishan

"If you want to talk about how Yishan came about, it came out of the corners of the people's clothing." Sitting comfortably in Chen Zhiguo's "luxury house" costing 800,000 yuan, listening to him reminisce about the difficult past, it is inevitable. It makes people feel unreal from time to time. In subsequent interviews, this sense of unreality occurred again and again. But in the end, we found that they were all true. "We are in a mid-mountain area. There are very few fields. The average per capita is less than one-third. It is not enough to plant. Since 1960, we have been working alone and have not handed over the land. Why? If you can't hand it over, people will starve to death. The soil in Yishan Wenzhou is famous for spinning cloth, each household spins a lot of homespun cloth, and some people in the town sell it, and this business has always been done.”

Chen Zhiguo, who is strong and strong, also did this business back then.According to him, there are more than 400 farming households in his village, at least 500 of whom are away from home all the year round. "Later, everyone called us buyers and sellers, which sounded much better. In fact, at that time, we mainly went to the city to buy cotton waste and scraps from cloth factories, carried them back and spun them into recycled cloth, and then sold them." It is this kind of one collection and one sale that makes Chen Zhiguo and others become out-and-out "market people". In 1979, a farmer surnamed Lin was engaged in scrap cotton fabrics in a textile factory in Zhengzhou. It happened that there was a backlog of acrylic fabric scraps in the warehouse of the factory, and the factory had to "take" him away.Fortunately, this batch of cloth only cost a few cents a catty, so Xiao Lin brought a lot back to Yishan.

It has been placed on the street for several days, and no one is interested in acrylic cloth heads.At that time, the recycled cloth in Yishan was made of cotton cloth and cotton, and the leftovers of acrylic and polyester would smoke and catch fire when they were put on the flowering machine. Xiaolin knew that he was losing money this time, but he couldn't do anything about it. He wanted to go out for business again, so he made a favor before leaving and gave the batch of acrylic fabrics to Mrs. Sun next door. Unexpectedly, this handy delivery sent Yishan to the sky. Mrs. Sun, known by the locals as Achapo, is said to have been a beautiful and skillful weaving master when she was young.This time, a large basin of useless acrylic cloth was piled up at her feet, and she wondered: Can the heads of this batch of acrylic cloth bloom, be regenerated into fibers, and spun into yarn?

"At that time, we all said that Ah Cha Po was an idiot, and no one in the city could do anything about it. She could do it as an old lady?" Chen Zhiguo recalled. However, Ah Cha Po is really good.The old lady doesn't think about tea and food every day, so she shuts herself in the room and ponders.She tried to bloom the leftovers of acrylic fiber by hand, and then she made a simple flowering machine.A month later, people were amazed when Ah Cha Po carried the newly woven recycled acrylic fabric on the street. "It's really a cloth that I've never seen before. It feels very soft and smooth. It's exactly the same as the new one. It's much better than the cloth spun from old cotton." Chen Zhiguo still talks about it so far. After all, it was a piece of cloth that changed the fate of him and the people of Yishan.

Like the wind, the news of Mrs. Sun's invention of recycled acrylic textile technology spread throughout the mountain village.You must know that in China at that time, acrylic fiber scraps were almost treated as useless waste. If these wastes can be recycled, Yishan people will undoubtedly open the door to a gold mine.Mrs. Sun is selfless. Every time a villager comes, she will hold hands with a smile until she teaches them.Recycled acrylic fiber in Yishan District quickly took shape. By 1981, the number of recycled acrylic fiber textile machines in the whole district had reached 20,000.

"In Yishan, at that time, a family only needed to invest 160 yuan to transform an earthen textile loom. Those of us also started to purchase acrylic fiber scraps. I lost the place." Speaking of those days, Chen Zhiguo was of course very proud. After the recycled acrylic fiber is spun into cloth, Yishan people make it into sportswear, children's jerseys, acrylic carpets, acrylic lace, etc... Yishan is famous far and wide. A Yishan acrylic textile market was born. In the spring of 1983, Sun Acha, who was honored as "Contemporary Huang Daopo" by Yishan people, passed away.On that day, tens of thousands of looms in Yishan and men and women in thousands of households all stopped their work.For three whole days, Yishan villages did not hear the loom, and people wept secretly every night. On the day of the funeral, the funeral procession lined up and bypassed the two mountains.

On November 29 of the same year, Wan Li, Vice Premier of the State Council, mentioned Yishan three times at the National Rural Work Conference. He said, "Everyone should visit Yishan. It shows a promising development prospect of rural productivity." Yishan is one of the first to become famous among the ten professional markets in Wenzhou. In the years from the end of the 1970s to the beginning of the 1980s, the productive forces of the whole society had just been liberated to a certain extent, and the long-suppressed consumption potential, especially in rural areas, was facing a general explosion. At the same time, household industries like Wenzhou The forerunner of the company has an irresistible impulse to produce.The disorderly collision between these two beautiful fans requires a "fan handle" to link them together.

Obviously, the emergence of the top ten markets has played the role of this "fan handle". Here, we transcribe the names of these top ten markets one by one.Because in the history of the development of China's professional market, their status is too prominent. Except for Yishan, they are: Qiaotou button market, Liushi low-voltage electrical appliance market, Huqian plastic woven bag market, Beizixiang building materials market, Xianjiang plastic shoes market, Shuitou leather market, Xiaojiang woven bag market, Jinxiang Aluminum-plastic logo market, wallet small commodity market.
