synonym

Yinggehai salt farm generally refers to Hainan Yinggehai salt farm

Yinggehai salt farm is the largest one in Hainan Island, and it is also second to none in South China.

Hainan Yinggehai salt farm is located in Ledong County, facing the sea and backed by Jianfengling forest area. It is a beach area of more than 30 square kilometers. Here you can see the boundless silver white salt sea, the channels are in order, and the salt fields are shining with silver. The scene is very beautiful.

Understanding the saltworks

When you come to Yinggehai salt field, the first thing that catches people's eyes is the vast sea of silver. Here, the canals are in order, the salt fields are glittering with silver, the high-voltage power lines are flying in the air, the water pump rooms and pools are scattered all over the place, and the salt making machinery is rotating and roaring, presenting a scene of busy production everywhere.

Yinggehai salt farm is built between seamounts. The continuous mountains of Jianfengling block the typhoon clouds and rain from the north, so that the sun is shining in the sky for a long time and there is sufficient light and heat for salt production. In addition, the salinity of the sea water here is high, which creates unique production conditions.

It's interesting to visit Yinggehai salt factory to make salt. At high tide, the seawater flows from the tide gate into the water storage lake, passes through the water pumping station, and then flows through the primary, middle and advanced evaporation tanks, and the seawater concentration increases step by step. It has become the brine that people usually talk about. The brine enters the crystallization area, where it saturates and crystallizes. Every afternoon, salt harvesters are busy collecting salt. After the harvester, snow-white salt flowers are shoveled. The rotary blade in front of the harvester quickly smashes the salt. The salt particles are transported to the machine warehouse through the automatic conveyor belt, and then transported to the pool bank, forming continuous small silver mountains. These high-quality salt are transported to the world by more than ten trains.

detailed information

Yinggehai salt farm was built in 1958, with a total area of 3793 hectares, an annual production capacity of 250000 tons and a maximum annual output of 300000 tons. The degree of mechanization is 69%. The main products are coarse salt, sun dried fine salt, sun dried high-quality salt, powder washed refined salt, etc. Among them, suntan high quality salt won the title of high quality product of Ministry of light industry in 1988, and coarse salt won the first prize of provincial salt industry system in 1992. In the past two years, we have transformed the operation mechanism in an all-round way and developed the economy in an all-round way. We have invested in the construction of an aosu plant with an annual output of 300 tons, a magnesium chloride workshop with an annual output of 300 tons, a Spirulina plant with an annual output of 2000 kg and a natural carotene plant with an annual output of 500 kg jointly operated with other enterprises. At the same time, we have actively developed the tertiary industry, established more than a dozen companies, integrated industry, commerce, trade, tourism and real estate, and opened up a broad road for the simultaneous development of salt, chemical industry and diversified economy.

Industrial Development

Yinggehai salt farm is not only rich in salt, but also a well-known fishery production base in Hainan Island. With the rapid development of salt and fishery production and the improvement of people's life, it has become more beautiful and rich. In the living and cultural areas of salt workers and local fishermen, we can see dormitory buildings, residential buildings, primary and secondary schools, hospitals, posts and telecommunications offices, banks, shopping malls, guest houses, cinemas, song and dance halls, entertainment centers, etc. with modern architectural style. Its colorful architectural style and novel modeling add vitality and beauty to Yinggehai salt farm. The beach stretches gently for ten miles, and the sand is white and soft. The rocks and mountains in the north are like natural barriers, blocking the wind and waves, making the crescent shaped Bay like a mirror. Yinggehai is not only Yancheng, but also a fishing ground. In addition to the beautiful bay and beach, there is an endless stream of tourists all year round.

History of preparation

Yinggehai salt farm

In 1956, Wu zhuoyou, a member of the salt administration of Guangdong and Guangxi, was ordered to transfer from Guangxi to Yinggehai salt farm in Hainan. He recalled that at that time, he went to Haikou with his mother, his wife and his family of seven, joined a group of students, engineers and technicians from Guangzhou, took a diesel car to Yacheng, stayed for a night, and then took a bullock cart to Yinggehai.

Wu zhuoyou said that they were not the earliest. The old man recalled that in order to develop new China's salt production and meet the needs of industrial development and people's life, at the first people's Congress of Guangdong Province in 1954, the representative of Huangliu District of Ya county proposed to build Yinggehai salt farm. In February 1955, the South China branch of the Communist Party of China made a development decision, and the salt Affairs Bureau of Guangdong and Guangdong started to prepare for it, and formulated the construction policy of "investment by stages, gradually expanding".

In 1955, Tao Zhu, Secretary of the Guangdong provincial Party committee, inspected Hainan and decided to build a saltern. He Shiyong, the appointed director of the preparatory office, was once an underground member of the Communist Party of China. He was engaged in underground work in 1948 when he was the preparatory Commissioner of Yinggehai salt farm of the Kuomintang.

In September of the same year, Yinggehai salt preparation office was established in Guangzhou. In November of the same year, Hainan's own survey team entered Yinggehai in two batches.

Development

Yinggehai salt farm

In the history of Yinggehai salt field, there were two records of salt field development

When the Japanese invaded China, they discovered the excellent conditions for salt production in Yinggehai. They made a large-scale exploration and worked out a plan for the development of the salt field. They wanted to build "the largest salt field in East Asia", but the information left was incomplete. During the period of the KMT's rule, there was also a plan of building cars behind closed doors. However, according to the report of those "senior members" of the Kuomintang after their investigation, "this place is still in the primitive times, and it is a wild area. The frontier development is extremely difficult, and it is dangerous, and public security is turbulent, so it can not be developed." so, in the end, only the preparatory office was set up in Sanya, and the development plan was not implemented, let alone realized.

Wu Kunshen said, "when we developed, we only got sporadic data and found that the marks on the drawings could not be found, so we had to come back and survey by ourselves."

More than 5600 military workers sent by warships

Development is extremely difficult and vigorous, which is a glorious and heroic history of development.

In 1955, Wu Kunshen was 23 years old. He was a clerk of Qiongshan people's Procuratorate before he was transferred to the survey team.

"There is no road to Yinggehai, no road from Sanya, no road from Basuo, only two days from Yacheng. The other four comrades and I, as a forward team, traveled from Sanya by fishing boat to Yinggehai the next day. " Wu Kunshen recalled that as soon as the army arrived, the township government immediately convened a mobilization meeting.

Wu Kunshen still remembers that the leaders of the salt administration of Guangdong and Guangxi made an oath at the meeting: "we will build a big salt city here!" All of a sudden, everyone was excited. Local people are very happy: "all the houses are for you!"

Due to the shortage of manpower, in May 1956, the salt bureau of Guangdong and Guangxi organized another 100 person exploration team. According to the records, in March 1957, there were 299 people in the Preparatory Office of Yinggehai saltern, who came from all over the world. After one year, the exploration team has completed the tasks of measurement and test.

In December 1957, a construction team composed of more than 200 people was transferred to Hongsha experimental site, which started the construction of Yinggehai salt field. At the beginning of the next year, in order to solve the shortage of manpower and speed up the construction of Yinggehai salt farm, more than 2000 cadres and migrant workers were recruited from various departments. He Shiyong suddenly received a call from Haikou from Chen Yu, governor of Guangdong Province, saying that he had discussed with the military region that 5000 people could be transferred and asked if they wanted to. He Shiyong blurted out: "yes!"

In 1958, at the age of 25, Zhong Ruiqiang had just retired from the 656 regiment of 219th division of the 55th army of the Chinese people's Liberation Army and was sent to Yinggehai salt farm. They were still wearing military uniforms and caps, and each carried a pot of boiling water and three Jin biscuits to board the warship from Zhanjiang. On February 22 of that year, when the warship arrived at Yinggehai sea, the water had already been drunk, but the biscuits we brought were too seasick to eat.

Fishermen use fishing boats to transport them ashore. People line up along the road to bring boiled water and all kinds of food to welcome them. Zhong Ruiqiang and his comrades swept away the fatigue of the bumpy waves and set foot on this land full of joy.

Records of Haiyan field in Yingge, Hainan Province:

In March 1958, more than 5600 people transferred from 0951, 0952, 0957 and 0965 units of the Chinese people's Liberation Army and retired from the army. Supplemented by local migrant workers, the construction team formed five construction teams, with a total number of more than 9200 people and a peak of more than 10000 people.

This team is also responsible for the defense of the coastline in Ledong County.

11.56 million cubic meters of earthwork will be completed in three years

It is amazing that during the great leap forward movement in the second half of 1958, because the "three marshals" of steel, grain and machinery were promoted, part of the heavy machinery in the salt field was transferred. Without excavators, they dug with hoes and shouldered; without roller presses, they dug with men and tied iron and stone with cattle; without electric lights at night, they used steam lamps, kerosene lamps and torches to light the construction; carrying poles, iron and stone were used When the dustpan could not be supplied for a while, they went up to the mountain to cut bamboo and cut wood to make their own.

"A minor illness is not in danger, a serious illness is not bitter. If you get sick and lie down, you will be carried to the construction site to see everyone working. It's strange not to get up and work! " In Wu Kunshen's memory, at the beginning, his shoulders were worn out and scabbed quickly; when he was not satisfied with food, he went to buy sweet potato at the people's home in the evening and tried to pick wild vegetables at noon.

All the wild vegetables got fat. It turned out that they were swollen and pressed one by one on their legs. But the next day everyone went to work as usual. The boys didn't feel any pain in their arms, and their legs didn't feel soft. The shoulder pole was broken and replaced by steel bars.
