Experts went to visit, what left the original site of the Hanyang Railway Factory?

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client August 31st (Reporter Wan Jianhui) Zhang Zhidong has set up many industrial enterprises in Wuhan, of which the Hanyang Iron Factory is the second to none. September 2nd is the 185th anniversary of Zhang Zhidong's birthday. Hu Quanzhi, a counselor of the Wuhan Municipal Government, went to Guibei Road, Hanyang on August 31 to visit what historical relics were left at the original site of the Hanyang Iron Factory on the northern foot of Guishan.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Governor Zhang Zhidong of Huguang was "self -reliance and seeking wealth". He vigorously promoted the new policy such as Xingye Industrial and Education in Wuhan. Wait, in the area of ​​Hanyang to the Linjiang River, it is a spectacular ten -mile "manufacturing industrial gallery".

Hu Quanzhi introduced that in early 1889, Zhang Zhidong, then Governor of Guangxi, began to set up an ironmaking plant in Guangzhou, and entrusted the ambassador Liu Ruifen to operate the purchase of smelting equipment. In August of that year, Zhang Zhidong was transferred to the Governor of Huguang, and Li Hanzhang took over his position as the lack of poverty and financial difficulties in Guangdong and financial difficulties. In the Qing court, Zhang Zhidong moved the iron plant to Hubei. After repeated surveys and selection of the site, it was finally decided to build the iron plant on the northern foot of Dabie Mountain (now Guishan) in Hanyang.

In the middle of Guibei Road, to the right of Qingchuan Pavilion, Hu Quanzhi stopped at a attraction with the "consolidated iron" logo. Closely, there is a large piece of brown "iron stone" in the depression on the ground. The signs on the side show that this "consolidated iron" is about 2.5 meters high, 3.3 meters in diameter, and weighs about 200 tons. It is said that in September 1923, the No. 4 blast furnace wall of Hanyang Iron Factory collapsed and iron water condensed. In 1984, the Guiman 1 plant expanded production and moved the "condensed iron" to the current location. During the third national cultural relics census, the "Conduration" was included in non -mobile cultural relics. The reporter saw that on the courtyard wall across the "Ningtie", there was also a factory name of "Wuhan Yiman Group Co., Ltd.". This also means that the country cotton factory area was the place where the Hanyang Iron Factory blast furnace was located.

Hu Quanzhi said that the infrastructure of the Hanyang Railway Factory started in January 1891. Daeye Iron Mine, Wang Sanshi Coal Mine and Jiangxia Ma'anshan Coal Mine have also started infrastructure. After many difficulties, Hanyang Railway Factory was completed on November 29, 1893. The entire project includes six large factories and four small factories. On June 28, 1894, the blast furnace was put into production, and Zhang Zhidong presided over the furnace ceremony.

Hu Quanzhi introduced the origin of "Ningtel" to the reporter.

In 1921, the government of the Republic of China changed the standard of rails, causing nearly 50,000 tons of rails in Hanyang Iron Factory, forced steelmaking, and ironmaking. By October 1924, the Hanyang Railway Plant was completely discontinued, and the "Ningtel Iron" also said that the remaining objects formed by the suspension of production of Hanyang Railway Plant said that in 1911, a statement was formed. Regarding the three claims about the formation of the consolidated iron, Hu Quanzhi believes that related cultural and historical experts should make further research on it to ensure the seriousness of cultural and historical materials.

In 1937, the Anti -Japanese War broke out. The following year, the National Government established the Steel Factory Move to Construction to transport the Hanyang Iron Factory Equipment and the Dazhantan Factory and iron ore equipment to the Dadukou of Chongqing, Sichuan. On October 24 of that year, the equipment that was difficult for the Hanyang Railway Factory was exploded. Nowadays, in addition to this 200 -ton "consolidated iron", only one ore sand terminal site on the Yangtze River on the south bank is left, and several pier sites on the bank of the Han River.

The reporter came to the south bank mouth with Hu Quanzhi, and found the Hanyang Iron Factory Mineral Sand Wharf made of red sand and gravel in a building in Wuhan Maritime Department. Above the pier was the stone monument of the city -level cultural protection unit established by the Wuhan Municipal Government in 2011. The dock is composed of two high pier. The middle groove is provided with a 300 -foot trestle bridge with a steel and wooden frame. At that time, there was a long rail on the Hanyang Railway Factory. At the longest time, the railway was extended to more than 20 miles, until the Hanshan area of ​​Hanyang was covered, covering all kinds of factories along the line.

Hu Quanzhi introduced the red sandstone in Hanyang Railway Factory Hanyang Iron Factory.

In the Jiang'an Bank of the Han River, Hu Quanzhi led the reporter to find a steps paved from red sandstone to the docks in the depths of the Han River.The steps."The Hanyang Iron Factory has four docks of Xiudemen, Xingji Gate, Beimen, and neighboring gate in the Hanjiang River. According to the historical map, the pier in front of the eyes is speculated that it is the neighbor gate of the lowest time.The dock of the factory, not the new pier built by Guomian No. 1 Factory after the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of the wharfs of red sandstone and stone, exist in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the early Republic of China. The docks after the founding of New China have no such stone."Hu Quanzhi said.Hu Quanzhi hopes that the four Hanjiang Terminal sites of the Hanyang Railway Factory used to be able to be located and protected and developed.
