Why is Pingdingshan City called "Eagle City"?
Pingdingshan is called "Eagle City" because it was the hometown of Ying (tong "Eagle") country during the Warring States Period. This land has a long and splendid culture, rich in resources and outstanding people. However, until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no name Pingdingshan on the map of the Republic of China. In the 1950s, when various coal armies stationed here, awakened the sleeping "Oolong", developed rich "Oolong" treasures in this barren mountain and remote area, and contributed light and heat to national construction, the name of Pingdingshan was the same. The energy cities are connected together and appear on the map of the motherland. After more than 40 years of development and construction, Pingdingshan has undergone tremendous changes. It has become an emerging industrial city with the energy and raw material industries as the main body and the comprehensive development of coal, electric power, steel, textile, chemical and other industries. It is like a bright pearl, embedded in the land of Zhongzhou, radiating brilliant light.
This is a magical treasure land. Its broad mind contains endless treasures: raw coal can be mined for at least two hundred years, sodium salt is inexhaustible for thousands of years, as well as iron, bauxite, limestone, graphite, refractory clay, gold, silica and so on. The fertile fields and fertile soil are rich in tobacco leaves, famous specialties from deep mountain forest areas, abundant water sources, convenient transportation, and rich mineral resources, showing a bright and colorful prospect.
Its achievements will be recorded in history forever, and its future will be even more fascinating. Energy, coal chemical industry, and salt chemical industry will all develop rapidly. When history enters the 21st century, Pingdingshan will become the largest energy and heavy chemical industry base in the Central Plains.
Yesterday in Pingdingshan, five million smart people worked hard, brothers from all over the world gave strong support, and overseas guests and friends worked closely together. In the future, it is even more necessary for the people of Pingdingshan to carry forward the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship, and it is even more necessary for friends at home and abroad to join hands.
In the future, Pingdingshan will stand tall in the Central Plains with its unique status and majestic appearance.
