Where does Tengzhou Qingshan sheep belong?
Tengzhou Qingshan Sheep is known as "Historical Sheep" in China. According to "tengxian Foreign Trade News", "By 1932, there were 24,200 sheep farmers in tengxian, and there were 300 goats 1300, and nearly 1,000 sheep were raised on a large scale. Every year, more than 40,000 live whole sheep are exported to Jinan and Tianjin. " The sheepskin wool produced in tengxian is famous all over the country. As early as the Ming Dynasty, sheepskin and wool were exported. "tengxian Zhi" records: "1585 years old sold 60 sheepskins and sold 50 sheepskins." Tengxian local officials presented the county's special sheepskin to the court. "tengxian Local Records" records: "In the thirty-third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, Jining people bought sheepskin and made it into leather clothes." 1910/year later, professional fur trading firms such as "Fulai Foreign Firm" and "He Chengtong" appeared in tengxian, all of which were sheepskin trading firms. Goatskin produced in tengxian is the raw material for making noble leather. In addition to making all kinds of leather shoes, leather coats and leather gloves, it is also suitable for oil filter leather needed by aviation and industry, suede leather for wiping precision instruments, optical glass lenses and so on. By 1978, the county had purchased and exported 30 1800 pieces of goatskin, ranking first in the country's county-level procurement volume and becoming one of the important goatskin producing areas in Shandong Province. Tengzhou goat lambskin, known as "kid skin", is a unique fur variety in China. The black and white fur is alternating with natural cyan, and the export channels are mainly sold to the markets of Britain, France, West Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and other countries. Wool wool is an export brand product, because Tengzhou wool fiber is fine and uniform, soft, tensile and elastic, and it is an important raw material for textile industry. Cashmere produced in He Xue coastal mountain cities such as Yangzhuang, Guanqiao and Chaihudian has three colors: white, purple and blue. Its fiber advantage is twice as thin as 60 fine wool, and it is the raw material for spinning cashmere. Cashmere produced in the eastern mountainous area of tengxian, internationally known as "fiber pearl", is rarely produced every year.
In addition to exporting high-quality sheepskin and wool, a large number of sheep intestines are also important export products of Tengzhou. The small rectal membrane of Qingshan sheep is mainly used for processing high-grade foods such as sausages and sausages, and is mainly used as food for long-distance travel and marching. Due to the large rectal tension of goats, a large number of sheep casings are used to make surgical sutures after export. Tengxian goat casing export has become one of the traditional export commodities in China. As early as 1938, some people bought goat casings in Yangzhuang and Xinji, processed them into semi-finished products and sold them to Tianjin Foreign Firm. 65438-0954 Tengzhou has "Yuji" and "Ji Cheng" casing shops. Later, tengxian Native Produce Company set up a casing processing workshop, and in 1975, the county exported more than 30,000 goat casings. Tengzhou Qingshan sheep once enjoyed a high reputation in the world. Because of the excellent water quality of the water systems represented by He Xuehe and Jing River, the goats raised by grazing are valuable, which promotes the rapid development of sheep industry. For more than 20 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, tengxian goat industry has become the main source of income for farmers in mountainous areas. The government also attaches great importance to the development of this industry and has improved goat breeds many times. By 1965, the number of goats in the county reached 305,000. At present, farmers' enthusiasm for raising sheep in Tengzhou is still very high, which is still an important source of farmers' economic development and has gradually reached the highest point.
However, due to historical reasons, Tengzhou's sheep industry has also been hit. During the period of 1, the goat's tail was cut off as the "capitalist tail", so farmers' families were not allowed to develop sheep breeding. At this time, the export of sheepskin wool and casing is restricted. At that time, the folk made up a jingle: "Sheep breeders don't read sheep breeding classics, keep sheep whips to fight, break the soup pot business, and draw charcoal and gold hoops." By 1972, goat breeding was at its lowest point, and there were only tens of thousands of goats in the county, more than double that of 1965. The business of mutton soup is even more sluggish, and almost no individual in urban and rural areas dares to operate mutton soup. 1 In March, 1973,1,then Vice Premier of the State Council, visited Tengzhou. After investigation, it was found that the sheep industry in Tengzhou declined seriously, which affected the export of goatskin and wool. 1 Back to the State Council, immediately hold a meeting to approve the report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Commerce on developing goat production as soon as possible. He said: "Goat production is a very important undertaking. People who restrict raising sheep are not satisfactory. Only those comrades who don't understand the people's mood don't know. They should be improved and corrected. " At that time, the county party Committee and the county leather Committee quickly implemented the instructions of 1, vigorously developed the cause of raising sheep and improved the quality of raising sheep. Since then, the enthusiasm of commune members in this county has increased rapidly. By the end of 1977, the number of goats in the county had recovered to 196300. From June 65438 to June 654381October 978, tengxian was identified as one of the goat base counties in China at the National Animal Husbandry Work Conference. After the implementation of reform and opening up, with the contracted management of farmers' land, the breeding of green goats has developed by leaps and bounds. 1982, the number of goats in the city reached 349,800, and the personal business of the mutton soup kitchen of ordinary people flourished again. Due to the excellent quality of Tengzhou Qingshan sheep, both export and domestic sales rank first in the country. The development of Tengzhou mutton soup depends on the development of Tengzhou Qingshan sheep breeding industry; The status of Tengzhou mutton soup also depends on Tengzhou's status as a "historic sheep".
