economic development

Before liberation, it was a place where people were raised by farming and fed by fields. With the development of society, industry has become the main body of economy. The region is rich in mineral resources, including 17 mineral products such as lead-zinc mine and methylfeldspar. In addition, Taolin lead-zinc mine has a good industrial technology foundation, and has advantages in industrial development. By 1990, there were 19 town run enterprises, 44 village run enterprises, and 512 individual enterprises, with an annual output value of 28.1 million yuan and 1864 surplus rural labor. Since 1997, with the shutdown and bankruptcy of taokuang, Zhongfang's economic development is facing severe challenges. In recent years, the Party committee and government of Zhongfang town have changed their ideas, boldly innovated, implemented the scientific outlook on development, and explored a way from "emphasizing industry over agriculture" to "attaching equal importance to development of agriculture, industry and commerce". On this basis, the industrial enterprises have continuously deepened reform, introduced technology to the outside world, set up joint enterprises with nine units, such as Hunan University, to tap internal potential, develop new-type enterprises, expand collective enterprises, and develop new-type enterprises In 2003, according to the above statistics, there were 16 collective enterprises and 749 individual and private enterprises, with an annual output value of 409 million yuan, a profit of 13.47 million yuan, 2.34 million yuan of state taxes and fees, and 3118 employees.

Tourist Scenery

Zhongfang's unique landscape is rarely seen. There are ten peaks and seven waters in the field, and there are thousands of strange states in it. The "ten peaks" are jiusu mountain, Nanshan Mountain, shizuiling mountain, Changling mountain, Xiaoxu mountain, Yanfeng mountain, Shishan mountain, Gushan Mountain, Boyu peak, etc.; the "seven waters" are Xiangshan River, muxinggan port, Magang Liuyang River, Zhongyan port, shaping River, Yutan port, etc., converging in Shuanggang River and accumulating in Daba reservoir. "Qianqi" refers to the legend of Xiangshan's taigongbagiao, shuangshixizhu and jiusushan, the wood-shaped jiubengqifeng, Xintian's Millennium Chongyang tree and seven leaf trees, Liuyang Magang's ten mile green belt, Zhongfang's legend of Longtan Lake and tuobeiling, Yutan's thousand mu Jiangnan desert (artificial desert) and Shuanggang's shore, Qiuping's 6501 (No.1 document of the Central Military Commission in 1965), the world's first artificial cave, shaping Underground Jinhe and Yingzuiyan, yanfengguan and shiquandong in Zhongyan, and mountain cottage in Magang. Zhongfang is rich in tourism resources and has become a major tourist destination in Linxiang at the end of the 20th century.

Jiangnan desert scenic spot

Jiangnan desert, also known as silver beach, is 10 kilometers away from Linxiang city. With an area of more than 3000 mu, a depth of more than 50 meters and a sand storage capacity of nearly 100 million cubic meters. Every morning and evening, the beach is shining with silver under the sunlight. Therefore, Jiangnan desert is also known as "Silver Beach". It is the largest artificial desert and the only desert landscape in central and southern China. You must wonder why there is such a spectacular desert in Jiangnan? In fact, Jiangnan desert is not a natural product, but a brand of modern Chinese construction history. In 1958, more than 4000 workers from Taolin lead-zinc mine, the largest state-owned mining enterprise in Asia under the direct control of the Ministry of metallurgy, set up camp in Zhongfang town and worked hard to mine lead-zinc ore. every day, nearly 100 tons of pollution-free tailings after washing were transported to the hills of this place through pipelines. After nearly 50 years of tailings deposition, sand accumulated into the sea. Therefore, there is another name in the southern desert called "tailing dam". Today, the boundless silver sand beach is displayed in front of the world with the majestic posture of "high gorge, flat sand and Jiangnan desert", becoming a unique spectacle. However, during the three-year difficult period, due to the shortage of resources, the Japanese once proposed to the Chinese government to exchange a jin of rice for a jin of sand, which was rejected by Premier Zhou Enlai. Premier Zhou said: "now our science and technology are still very backward. In the future, with the development of science and technology, we can refine it again." We can see the foresight of the prime minister. If we had been short-sighted at that time, we would not have had a chance to enjoy the magnificent spectacle of "straight desert smoke, long river falling yen" in Jiangnan today.
