Historical celebrities "activate" urban development and seek a new chapter

The old houses with blue bricks and black tiles are neatly arranged, and the roof tiles are neatly arranged. At the northern foot of Longquan Mountain, Wang Yangming's former residence is quiet. In the eighth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming was born in Ruiyun Tower, his former residence, and spent his childhood there. Later, he returned to his hometown many times to worship his ancestors, give lectures, and visit relatives, leaving behind the ardent demeanor of a generation of master. For hundreds of years, Yangming's thought centered on "reaching conscience" and "integrating knowledge and action" has permeated the genes of the city.

Historical celebrities are precious cultural resources and spiritual wealth of the city, as well as unique cultural symbols of the place. Celebrity cultural resources represented by the four sages Yan Ziling, Wang Yangming, Zhu Shunshui and Huang Zongxi constitute Yuyao's unique temperament and soul, and also provide spiritual support for the development of the city.

Yuyao carried out protective repairs, display transformation and environmental improvement on the former residences and relics of famous people, repairing and protecting them with high standards, making historical celebrities more "touchable"; carried out systematic restoration and sorting of physical resources related to historical celebrities, such as ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, letters, and relics, so as to systematically organize and study, making historical celebrities more "readable"; Deeply explore the ideological connotations contained in the cultural relics collections of historical celebrities, carefully organize a series of commemorative activities and academic seminars, and disseminate and promote them with high-quality, making historical celebrities more "sensible".

In recent years, Yuyao has taken the implementation of the "activation" project of historical celebrities as the starting point, and has further promoted the repair and protection, excavation and research, publicity, promotion, and activation and utilization of historical celebrity resources, so as to allow historical celebrities to walk out of "history" and transform cultural soft power into economic and social development. Hard support.

At present, Yuyao has incorporated "Yangming Culture" into the school's local characteristic education curriculum system. It not only opens relevant classes, but also launches local special educational materials with Yangming Culture as the theme. As the birthplace of Yangming's mind learning, grasping and inheriting the profound connotation of Yangming's mind learning has become Yuyao's unshirkable historical mission and responsibility.

The inheritance of culture provides guidance for the development of Yuyao enterprises and has become the deep-seated connotation of enterprise operation and urban development.

Ningbo Jiangfeng Electronic Materials Co., Ltd. has developed the first target made in China in 2005, achieved independent innovation in the entire production line, and achieved mass production with 10 nanometer, 7 nanometer, 5 nanometer and 3 nanometer technologies, making my country's ultra-high purity metal materials and sputtering targets no longer rely on imports.

Yao Lijun, chairman of the company, said that the company has grown from an unknown small company to a listed company with certain international influence precisely because it adheres to Mr. Yang Ming's concept of "integrating knowledge and action". "We have done a great thing, which is to focus on our country's strategic needs and restrain inappropriate desires and prevent 'thieves' in our hearts during the development of the company."

Yao Lijun led the entrepreneurial team to establish the Yangming Industrial Technology Research Institute in 2013, focusing on the scientific and technological frontiers such as semiconductor equipment and key components, new materials and high-end application materials, high-end medical materials and equipment, intelligent equipment and control systems, and making strategic layout. Strive to become an efficient innovation platform for industrialization and talent training in the semiconductor industry. So far, all of the 17 high-level talent entrepreneurship enterprises incubated and cultivated by Yangming Industrial Research Institute have grown into enterprises above designated size, and 4 have become national high-tech enterprises.

Hengkantou Village will provide land and labor, the enterprise will provide funds, equipment, and technology and be responsible for management and operations, and plant factories will rise.

Today, the plant factory grows more than 70 kinds of hydroponic fruits and vegetables, and can produce about 20 crops every year, with an annual output value of 15 million yuan. The factory has also recruited more than 30 villagers to work at the doorstep of their homes, increasing the annual per capita income of more than 60,000 yuan.

There are hundreds of concentric knot pairs projects like the "Red Core Plant Factory" in Yuyao. Through project co-construction, investment and shareholding, these twinning projects attract private enterprises and other entities to carry out village-enterprise pairings and overseas Chinese groups to join villages, jointly develop high-quality agriculture, high-end hotels, characteristic B & Bs, etc., and promote the old area of Siming Mountain to move out of the common sense of the people.
