Culture

The cultural heritage is unique. The xiangta Toudun site in the spring and Autumn period is still clearly visible. The 300 year old huangditang Street site and the famous ancient temple Xiangshan temple still retain the ancient charm. The unique dragon dance, lion dance, temple fair, lantern fair and other folk activities add cultural charm to Donggang Town. Bao Xuding, the former mayor of Chongqing, Yao Tongbin, the founder of "two bombs and one star" and Gu Jun, the Olympic badminton champion, were all born in this land.

In Gangxia, no matter where you go to the village, you can see plump and graceful young girls, simple and dignified women, and even silver haired old women sitting in groups, chatting and embroidering. By their skillful hands, they embroider a picture of a beautiful life.

Embroidery is called "embroidery lace" by the people of Hong Kong. This kind of handicraft work is generally undertaken by women. It is their patent and unique skill to express themselves and to earn money to support their families. Men will never dare to "teach a lesson" in front of them.

Embroidery has been popular among women in Hong Kong for generations, but it was not common at that time. It was in the 1970s that the "lace fever" started in Hong Kong. At that time, township enterprises had just been set up, and the vast number of farmers were guarding a few mu of land, living in poverty. However, the industrious and intelligent farmers in the lower reaches of the harbour are not content to be poor. They yearn for a happy and affluent life, so they do everything possible to engage in various sideline businesses in order to increase family income and improve living standards. Embroider lace, it is in this case quietly up.

At that time, the "parents' officials" in the lower reaches of Hong Kong saw that many women were idle at home and had nothing to do. They thought that embroidering lace was a good thing for the women in the lower reaches of Hong Kong. They set up a lace stand outside to undertake the business of embroidering lace and give it back to them to embroider. In this way, they could not only solve the problem of idle labor, but also increase the income of women. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. They said they could do it as soon as they could, so they organized a group of people to set up the "Hong Kong lace station", and then they took on the lace business from Shanghai through their relationship. After the lace business came back, hundreds of women who could embroider came to the lace station to get the work. Driven by them, more and more women embroider lace. Even some women who can't embroider before are eager to try when they see that they have money to earn. They join the army of embroidery. They learn from their teachers and work hard to master embroidery skills as soon as possible. Therefore, with the support of the majority of women, lace is becoming more and more popular. By 1982, the lace station had a turnover of 200000 yuan and a profit of more than 20000 yuan.

By 1983, however, a new situation had emerged. That year, the township enterprises in Hong Kong developed rapidly, and many new factories, large and small, were set up. It takes a lot of labor to run a factory. So a large number of farmers from the fields, from home to the factory. According to statistics, the total population at that time was a little over 40000, but more than 10000 workers entered the factory to work. Without exception, the women who used to embroider lace at home were involuntarily involved in the tide of running large-scale township enterprises. They gave up the job of embroidering lace one after another and turned to work in factories with higher incomes. As a result, lace station was a strong impact, in helpless in the closure.

Things tend to develop in the form of circles. By the second half of 1985, the development momentum of township enterprises had been curbed, and the amount of labor employed by various enterprises had been greatly reduced. Many migrant workers, including many women, were "demobilized" and returned to their fields. Even the income of the workers who stayed in factories was not as good as that of the previous two years. This situation has given rise to the momentum of "all kinds of maintenance are better than entering the factory". Comrades who used to work in the lace station seized this opportunity and quickly restored the lace station. As a result, the "lace fever" in Hong Kong has risen again.

The comrades of the lace station made use of the old relationship to ensure sufficient business. In 1985, only a few months, we completed 20000 business. In 1987, it completed more than 100000 yuan of business and made a profit of 7000 yuan. In 1988, the lace station became more and more prosperous, with a turnover of 370000 yuan and a profit of 21000 yuan. In 1989, in order to comply with the wishes of the majority of women, the then Hong Kong Women's Federation held the first lace embroidery technology competition, which further boosted the strength of women. With more and more lace registration cards, the number of embroidery women in Hong Kong has grown rapidly to nearly 3000, and many women from neighboring areas, such as Donghutang, Yetang, Wangzhuang and Gushan, have come to the lace station to receive lace embroidery. Their embroidered lace is sold to Japan, the United States, Singapore, France and other places through indirect channels. This year, Hong Kong's lace processing business income reached more than 500000 yuan. among
