Why do some people say Jiangsu is very rich?

Let me start by saying that wealth and poverty are relative. The coastal areas are richer than the inland areas. Southern Jiangsu is better than northern Jiangsu, but northern Jiangsu is also a wealthy place for some areas across the country. The prosperity and development of a region are of course inseparable from geographical advantages and the support of national policies. But what I want to say is that the key is the human factor. Israel fights wars every day and is surrounded by enemies, but it is a developed country. People's thoughts and qualities are fundamental to the development of a region (having resources underground is another matter). Before the reform and opening up in Wuxi, Jiangsu, every household was very poor. My family lived in the suburbs. When I was a child, I rarely ate meat once a year and had no money. Each family only had one or two acres of farmland. Even if we didn’t have enough to eat, we would never die of hunger. But no matter how poor we are here, children still have to go to school. If you are poor, you want to change. At that time, townships, towns, and villages began to set up processing factories, small parts factories, and township enterprises appeared in this way. The more enterprises opened, the bigger they opened. , Survival of the fittest, the people worked in companies and farmed at the same time, so they gradually became rich. Why foreign companies set up factories in Jiangsu is mainly because Jiangsu has high-quality talents and a gene for doing things in a physical way. To strengthen oneself by learning advanced technology and management experience from foreign capital, this is using foreign resources for China, and it is advocated by the country. It is foolish to reject advanced foreign investment. In the ancient Tang Dynasty, more than 20 officials were foreigners. Are we worse than the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago? Jiangsu can become prosperous because Jiangsu people have a pioneering spirit and are able to endure hardship, work hard, innovate, be open and learn. Let me emphasize again, the key to a region's prosperity is its people.

Zhejiang will obey Jiangsu. One, talent. The land area is similar to that of Zhejiang, and the plain terrain is three times more. The key is the release of water resources. Ancient farming society will inevitably give birth to the most advanced farming civilization. Second, cultural heritage. It is estimated that Zhejiang is the only country in the country that has been able to compete with Jiangsu in the past thousand years, but I think Zhejiang's chances of winning are not as good as Jiangsu's.

Third, population base. Precisely because Jiangsu's vast plains can support a large population and because it can afford education, Jiangsu's education level exceeds that of other provinces. In the era of reform and opening up, it has provided a large number of high-quality labor force

4. Investment Cost input-output ratio. The plain area is large, the land cost per unit area is low, the population base of high-quality labor is large, the recruitment and labor costs are relatively low, the population is large, the consumer market potential is large, and it is a coastal area. Why do you think Singaporean, Japanese and Taiwanese capitalists chose Jiangsu? People are not stupid

Fifth, Jiangsu has many talented technicians. Because we have land, we have food, and we can receive vocational education, so there are many skilled workers, so foreign-funded companies like it. At the same time, Zhejiang had limited land resources and could not afford to go to school. He could only wait to die without food at home, so he could only go out with relatives to work on the dock at a young age. Of course, looking at it now, each has its own value. Although the Zhejiang people who went out to work in the docks in the 1980s were uneducated, they caught up with the good times and were bold enough to start accumulating primitive wealth. However, Jiangsu people have fertile land at home. , working in a foreign company, the income is stable! Instead, he scoffed at it. Therefore, their values ​​have been created: stability is the only way to inherit the family and establish a family. Therefore, it also constrains conceptual breakthroughs, forming institutional thinking, the thinking of settling down with a small amount of wealth, and the official-oriented thinking. This needs to be broken through, otherwise you will become Shandong. After all, life is about tossing. To do anything, you first need to dare to think and do it.

Sixth, once the northern Jiangsu Plain is carefully laid out and planned, energy will explode. To be honest, it is a pity that such a good talent has not been fully exploited. The energy of 8 trillion GDP in the Northern Jiangsu Plain within 10 years is minimal. This depends on the wisdom of those in power. Jiangsu should be the next size of California, and Guangdong has no chance to compete. Because the talent gap is too big. What should I do in the plains? Develop heavy industry. But you have to build the infrastructure first. Airports, high-speed rail, highways, policy guidance for industrial areas, etc. Otherwise, would you plant rice or raise crayfish on the coastal plain?

Why is Jiangsu so rich?

This question will cause controversy, because when it comes to the prosperity of the people, Jiangsu is not the first. First of all, Zhejiang expresses dissatisfaction because, in terms of per capita income, Zhejiang is much higher than Jiangsu.

Then, Guangdong also expressed its dissatisfaction. In terms of GDP and fiscal revenue, Jiangsu is not the highest. GDP of Jiangsu ranks second, and fiscal revenue is far behind Guangdong. Fujian is also dissatisfied with the speed of development and hidden wealth. Fujian has developed to its current scale and affluence without receiving support from national policies, which is not comparable to Jiangsu.

Well, since someone has asked why Jiangsu is so rich, we must analyze it from the perspective of geographical location and historical evolution. To use a diplomatic language: "Since ancient times," there is heaven above and Suzhou below. According to Hang, Jiangsu has a moderate geographical location, close to the coast and a large plain. It has four distinct seasons and abundant rainfall. It has always been a land of plenty. In addition, the developed sea salt industry has allowed Yangzhou to gather wealthy businessmen from all over the country. Although, Zhejiang and The area of ​​Jiangsu is almost the same, but Zhejiang does not have the geographical advantage of the Great Plains of Northern Jiangsu. Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, the fiscal revenue of Jiangsu Province (covering all or part of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Shanghai) was It accounts for more than one-third of the country. During the Shunzhi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty, the court split Jiangsu to prevent the tail from being lost. However, Jiangsu took advantage of its years of experience, tradition and outstanding people, especially in the reform and opening up. Later, Jiangsu seized the opportunity, coupled with the diligence and simplicity of the people, and stood firmly at the forefront of development. Its GDP closely followed Guangdong, its per capita GDP ranked first among all provinces, and its per capita income also increased significantly. Northern Jiangsu region The backward situation has also been greatly improved. All 13 prefecture-level cities in the province have entered the top 100. It is the only province in the country and the province with the most balanced development in the country. With the strong rise of the northern Jiangsu region, the large investment in infrastructure in Jiangsu, and the completion of the rapid transformation of the Yangtze River Delta region, it is only a matter of time before GDP catches up with Guangdong, and the per capita net income is also constantly catching up with Zhejiang and Fujian. , so it is a lucky thing to be born in Jiangsu.

Why is Jiangsu so rich? I think it is inseparable from these three conditions: the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people. From this perspective, Jiangsu is lucky. As a Chinese, I hope that our country, every place All the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Underdeveloped areas, with the support of national policies and driven by the first wealthy areas, will also be able to develop rapidly. As soon as possible, we, the giant dragon of the Chinese nation, will take off in the world. Forest!

Jiangsu Fufu has always existed whether it is now or in the past.

Not to mention, during the Ming Dynasty, Southern Zhili accounted for about one-third of the national tax revenue. In the Ming Dynasty, southern Zhili was roughly equivalent to today's Jiangsu, Anhui, and Shanghai.

Southern Zhili in the Ming Dynasty

During the Qing Dynasty, Southern Zhili was changed to Jiangnan Province, and the tax revenue of this province was still the highest in the country. During the Kangxi period, Jiangnan Province was split into Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province.

Jiangnan Province in the Qing Dynasty

During the Republic of China, Nanjing was the capital of the Republic of China, and Nantong was the cradle of modern industry in China.

But it was probably after the reform and opening up that Jiangsu made us feel rich. In the early days of reform and opening up, Jiangsu Province did not receive many policies. There were four special economic zones, three in Guangdong (Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Shantou) and one in Fujian (Xiamen). Later, there were 13 coastal open cities, one at the bottom. First (Lianyungang) and second to last (Nantong). Although this sentence is a bit joking, these two cities really did not gain much benefit. As for Wenzhou, which was the hottest city in the early days of reform and opening up, the Wenzhou model also made many Zhejiang people rich. Jiangsu really started to exert its efforts in the 1990s, when township enterprises in southern Jiangsu began to flourish, and the southern Jiangsu model gradually formed, mainly including the three cities of Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou. Later, with the support of various national policies, etc., the GDP of Suzhou and Wuxi was at the forefront of the country, higher than that of most provincial capital cities, and their affluence was second to none in the country.

Map of the relative wealth of cities across the country

Let’s analyze the reasons why Jiangsu is rich.

Tianshi: Global environment.

Now is the era of maritime economy, and coastal provinces are more developed than inland provinces. national policy. After the reform and opening up, the country gave priority to the development of some areas, so that they can get rich first, and then the first wealth will drive the latter to become rich. For example, now is the era of strengthening provincial capitals. The country has clearly required provincial capitals to increase their primacy and increase policy support for provincial capital cities.

Geographical advantage: I just mentioned the coast, which has benefited from the maritime economy era. Then there is the Yangtze River estuary, which is adjacent to Shanghai, the economic center of China, to undertake industrial transfer or coordinated development.

Renhe: It is the thoughts of local people.

If the three factors of time, location, and people are in proportion, my personal feeling should be 50% for people and time, 30% for time and location, and 20% for location.

Why do you say that, geographical location only accounts for 20%. It may be a coincidence that Jiangsu is a coastal province and is also close to Shanghai. Let's take Zhejiang, which is also a coastal province and is close to Shanghai, to explain the reason why it has a geographical advantage of 20%. Jiaxing, which is also next to Shanghai, does not receive much radiation from Shanghai, and its port is average. However, Jiaxing does have the highest per capita income in the Yangtze River Delta region. Relatively wealthy Haining and Tongxiang relied on locals to develop Haining Leather City and Puyuan Woolen Sweaters, which have become famous wholesale markets in the country. These markets have made a great contribution to the income of local people. Ningbo, Shaoxing, Jinhua and Yiwu, which are also not close to Shanghai, are also very wealthy. Wenzhou has been at its peak since the beginning of reform and opening up. Even the not-so-famous Taizhou City is also very wealthy. Except for Ningbo, other areas have very little dependence on the ocean. They are rich only because of the local people's ideas and hard work. Their initial efforts later won the national policy of the new era, and then there was a virtuous cycle. , from riches to riches. Therefore, geographical advantage accounts for the smallest proportion in the favorable weather, location, and people.

Secondly, I just mentioned Lianyungang and Nantong in Jiangsu. Among the four special economic zones, Shantou is also in average development. In addition, the entire Hainan is a special economic zone, which also has no effect. Now that there is a free trade zone throughout Hainan, can it promote the development of Hainan? Alas, it is difficult.

In the final analysis, whether you are rich or not has the greatest relationship with people and their thoughts.

1 The economic base determines the superstructure. The reason why Jiangsu is called the land of plenty is related to its climate and products. Jiangsu is in the temperate zone as a whole and belongs to the impact plain of the Yangtze River and Yellow River. The land is fertile and neither floods nor droughts exist. It can be said that what you sow will grow, and there is basically no problem in solving the problem of eating.

2. Once the economic foundation is established, corresponding things will arise, thus forming a positive cycle. Suzhou alone has produced more than 60 champions, not to mention the number from Changzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiangning Prefecture combined.

3. In 2018, Jiangsu’s GDP reached 9.26 trillion, second only to South Korea and exceeding Australia’s GDP.

4. Among the 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province, the top three in terms of economic scale are Suzhou, Nanjing and Wuxi. Billion Club" (see Figure 2), and the average annual economic growth rates since 2008 have been as high as 9.2, 10.3 and 9.25 respectively, and the growth momentum is quite rapid. In addition, the three cities each have their own advantages and characteristics. Suzhou Industrial Park can be regarded as a model of national park economic development. Nanjing has strong scientific and educational strength and comprehensive industrial layout. Wuxi has natural location advantages and vibrant township enterprises. These are all It has well supported the continuous economic progress of Jiangsu Province.

5. The hard work and simplicity of Jiangsu people is also the main reason for these achievements.

6. Jiangsu accounts for 25 of the top 100 counties in the country, a full quarter. At the same time, 6 of the top ten counties are in Jiangsu. These are enough to illustrate the outstanding economy of Jiangsu and the wealth of Jiangsu people. .

Cantonese people tell you why Jiangsu is very rich?

1. Jiangsu occupies the estuary of the Yangtze River, has the largest plain area among all provinces, and has convenient transportation along rivers.

Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists, and whoever wins this place will be the breadbasket of the world. The Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty is an example. It connected the richest places in the world.

2. Jiangsu is rich in various resources. It is not only a "land of plenty" but also an important manufacturing base in my country. In addition, the surrounding Shanghai, Shandong, and Zhejiang are all economically strong provinces and cities. Therefore, Jiangsu can be said to have both sides. Excellent geography is the key factor for Jiangsu Province to win.

3. Jiangsu’s economic strength is one of the best in the country, on par with Guangdong Province. To a certain extent, except for the Pearl River Delta, other regions in Guangdong are relatively weak economically, including cities and provinces in the Pan-Pearl River Delta. You can learn a thing or two from the starry sky chart. As a result, Guangdong absorbed a large number of labor forces from surrounding areas and became the most populous province. From Grant Thornton's perspective, it is difficult for Guangdong to do so. Therefore, we concentrate our superior resources only on the Pearl River Delta. What about the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area? To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of concentrating superior resources to develop the Pearl River Delta region! The Yangtze River Delta has a diffused economic model, and its radiation capabilities are beyond the reach of the Pearl River Delta. In essence, the Pearl River Delta has no economic radiation effect. This has been verified in the east, west, and north regions of Guangdong. Therefore, the wealth in Guangdong is limited to the Pearl River Delta. People in Jiangsu are more evenly wealthy, and regional disparities are not so great.

4. Jiangsu is larger than Guangdong Province in terms of effectively usable land and economic hinterland resources. Coupled with the strong manufacturing industry as the backing, people feel that Jiangsu's economy is very strong.

5. In terms of attractiveness, Jiangsu has overall advantages, driving the development of the industrial chain in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The expansion of regional cooperation is beyond the reach of the Guangdong economy, so many foreign companies value this. a little. In addition to Taiwanese businessmen in Jiangsu, Japanese and Korean companies also like to choose Jiangsu. There is no need to elaborate on the reasons.

6. Jiangsu has always been one of the country’s key development provinces, and there have been many capable and famous people here since ancient times. Its cultural heritage is also very profound. From ancient times to the present, it has retained many legacies left by its ancestors. Therefore, Nanjing, Suzhou, Nantong, Yangzhou and other places in Jiangsu are must-visit places for tourists from all over the world.

In short, Jiangsu’s wealth is recognized by people across the country. Cantonese people believe that the key to the fact that Jiangsu people occupy a piece of China's Feng Shui treasure land is that they look at the starry sky map. It's not like Guangdong, which is surrounded by mountains and seas. This is the secret to longevity! In ancient times, many emperors wanted to control this great plain, so it was reasonable to choose Jiangsu as their capital.

Are Jiangsu people really rich? not necessarily! Please note that this only refers to Jiangsu "people", not Jiangsu. First of all, we must make it clear that GDP does not mean that per capita income is high and ordinary people have money. Traveling all over the country, I have not found that the salary income of civil servants and employees in public institutions is higher than that of other regions. Only Su Xichang has slightly more. The northern Jiangsu region is similar to central regions such as Anhui and Hubei. Secondly, Jiangsu's private self-employment is not dominant in coastal areas, and cannot compare with Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. Jiangsu's large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, joint ventures, and foreign-funded enterprises are relatively strong. This economic situation determines that the income of the people is relatively average, with more workers and fewer bosses and individual owners. The third country coordinates the redistribution of currency, and most of it is tilted towards the central and western regions. People who eat public meals will never have a significant gap in economic income compared with those in other regions. The number and quality of individual and private business owners are the key to people's income. Fourth, compare the per capita disposable income. Xuancheng, Tongling and other areas in Anhui that are relatively poor in people's minds have a GDP of only about 100 billion. Xuzhou and Taizhou in Jiangsu are around 500 to 600 billion, but the per capita disposable income is only about 100 billion. Not much different. To sum up, Jiangsu is rich, but Jiangsu people are not necessarily very rich. People in southern Jiangsu and Sunan are relatively rich.

Those who passed the second imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty were all students from Zhejiang, which led Zhu Yuanzhang to separate Suzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi, and Shanghai from Zhejiang. The establishment of Nanzhili (Jiangnan Province) is to restrict Zhejiang and also to provide economic and cultural poverty alleviation for Nanjing, Huaihe, and Jiangbei areas.

The core of Jiangnan is Hangzhou. Between Jiaxing and Jiaxing, the "Majiabang Culture" is recognized as one of the world's two birthplaces of agricultural civilization and has a history of more than 7,000 years. The "Liangzhu Civilization" is The only recognized "cradle of Chinese civilization" in the world is also the birthplace of Jiangnan Wu culture. These information can be found online.

Without Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and other places set aside by Zhejiang, would there be the economic and cultural prosperity of Jiangsu today? I don’t even know such simple historical knowledge, so I just brag about Jiangnan Province all day long! Taking quotes out of context to promote themselves, Japaneseizing brother provinces and cities, and misleading young people’s understanding and responsibility of history and social responsibilities!

I believe most people have heard this sentence: The economic base determines the superstructure!

Jiangsu is one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization, Wuyue culture, and Yangtze River culture. Since ancient times, it has been one of the most diverse and developed regions in China's economy, politics, and culture. How can a region with advanced education, prosperous culture, and prosperous economy not develop well? Let’s take a closer look at the development of Jiangsu

1. Education

The college entrance examination has just ended, let’s put education in the front row. The educational development of a region has a great impact on the development of the region. I believe everyone knows the importance of talents. Jiangsu's education is well-known throughout the country, and major prestigious schools also favor students from Jiangsu when recruiting students. I have answered many questions and answers about basic education and higher education in Jiangsu before. This time we look at it from another aspect. I don’t know if any of you netizens have directly searched for provinces on Taobao. What you found in other provinces are all specialties for eating and drinking, but what you found in Jiangsu is this↓

Yes With such a treasure taking over the battle, one can imagine the pressure on children in Jiangsu to study. In addition, Jiangsu students basically want to stay in Jiangsu after graduation, which also reduces the brain drain.

2. Culture

Jiangsu has a long history, and every city has its historical story. Jiangsu's culture can be roughly divided into three aspects: Wuyue culture, Huaiyang culture, and Chu-Han culture. Wu culture: The area of ​​Wu culture usually refers to the Su, Xi, and Chang areas near Taihu Lake. It has a fresh breath, soft style, and lively spirituality, forming dominant characteristics such as intelligence, delicateness, softness, broad vision, and willingness to innovate. Huaiyang culture: Huaiyang culture is centered on Yangzhou, including Huai'an, Yancheng, Taizhou and other places. The Huaiyang area has many rivers and water, many boats and bridges, and presents an ancient, cultural, watery, green and beautiful regional style. The cultural exchanges between the north and the south have formed a dominant feature of combining freshness, elegance, boldness and handsomeness. Chu-Han culture: Chu-Han culture is a regional culture centered on Xuzhou, a famous national historical and cultural city. It is originated from the Qingliangang Culture, Dadunzi Culture and even the Xincaowan Xinren Culture 6,000 years ago. Its dominant characteristic is strength and vigor.

Jiangsu is still very good at passing on these cultures. The "river" of culture continues to nourish the development of the people on the land. Look forward!

3. Economy

Why Jiangsu develops well is a top priority. Let’s point out what we said at the beginning: the economic base determines the superstructure.

Jiangsu Province’s total GDP ranks second in the country

13 cities have also entered the top 100 in the country

Four of the top five counties in the country are from Jiangsu

As long as you are not lazy in Jiangsu, most people can live a good life!

Talent - culture - development, a good cycle in these three directions makes Jiangsu develop upward, its economy is getting better and better, and it is getting richer and richer.
