For a long time, textbooks said, "Old China was poor and had to use foreign fire and foreign nails. This is a huge lie.

The following content is about foreign fire, foreign paint, foreign mud, etc.

Released In 1879, the first Qiaoming Match Factory opened by the Chinese on its own appeared in Foshan County, Guangdong.

During the First World War, Western imperialism was busy with war, and the number of imported Chinese goods, including matches, decreased greatly; coupled with the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, the Chinese people rose up to boycott Japanese goods and advocated domestic goods, and a wave of starting match factories emerged across the country. In just a few years, the number of match factories nationwide increased to more than 100.

Released In November 1920, Shanghai's "Match King" Liu Hongsheng founded the "Hongsheng Match Company".

After more than half a year of experimental research, the factory technicians used high-strength adhesives to solve the problem of match heads getting damp and falling off; and acquired phosphorus grinders to improve the quality of the red phosphorus surface. The improved Hongsheng matches have a large head, quick fire, white flames, and durable phosphorus surface. Since then, they have made many improvements in production technology, and the quality of matches has been improved repeatedly. Hongsheng has become a famous brand product with the word "全" and has become a popular product in China, but it has also entered the Nanyang market for a while. The profits of the factory have also increased year by year.

Released In July 1935, Liu Hongsheng first invited the domestic matchmaking industry to establish a joint office, and then reached an agreement with the US merchants in this name to establish the Central China Match Production and Sales Management Committee, and formulated corresponding match production and sales restrictions. Finally, Liu Hongsheng negotiated with the Japanese merchants in the China Match Industry Association in the name of the chief representative of the China Match Industry Association. Japanese merchants were forced to join the China Match Production and Sales Association under the joint action of the China Merchants Federation and the Central China Management Committee.

Hou Debang, who was studying abroad, brought the drawings designed in the United States, and worked with engineering and technical personnel to test various machines. After adjustment and improvement, the secret of the Survey alkali production method was finally revealed and a series of technical problems of large-scale alkali production were solved. In 1926, the quality of the Red Triangle Soda Ash produced by Wynn Alkali Factory exceeded that of the British Bonnemen Company's foreign alkali. In the fall of this year, at the 150th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the Red Triangle Soda Ash won the gold award, which not only made the Chinese proud, but also opened up a broad international market.

In 1906, Zhou Xuexi planned to build the "Qixin Yangxia Company". Due to the good product quality, the sales were very smooth. Qixin Cement was quickly adopted by major construction projects across the country. The Huaihe Railway Bridge, the Yellow River Bridge, the Luohe Iron Bridge on the Jinpu Railway, the Weishui Iron Bridge on the Beijing-Hankou Railway, and the sea dams and wharves in Qingdao, Yantai, Xiamen, Weihai and other places used Mapai Cement produced by Qixin; the famous buildings at that time such as the Beijing Library, Fu Ren University, Yanjing University, Mainland Bank, Bank of Communications, Hebei Gymnasium, Shanghai Postal Administration were also built with Mapai Cement. After decades of ups and downs, most of these buildings were still intact and stood side by side with modern high-rise buildings.

Foreign merchants, especially Japanese merchants, launched a desperate competition with Qixin Company in order to compete for the Chinese cement market. Japanese merchants relied on the high production and good quality of Japan's cement, and were closest to China, and transported them to China in large quantities. In order to squeeze out Qixin Company, they trolled everything and tried hard to lower the price. Their cement price in Japan was 2.97 taels of silver per bag, and the freight to China was 2.5 taels of silver per bag, but they sold it at a price of 3 taels of silver per bag, which means that for every bag sold, they would lose 2.47 taels of silver. This was a war without any blood and no shouts.

The new company also took timely measures to reduce the original price of 2.25 taels of silver per barrel to 1.55 taels of silver, and the bagged cement was reduced from 1 tael of silver per pack to 0.7 taels of silver. Because Zhou Xuexi attached great importance to the update and improvement of production equipment, Qixin's cement production continued to improve in terms of output and quality, and the cost was continuously reduced. He also won medals and certificates at international competitions, expos and domestic exhibitions many times. Therefore, the suicide dumping of Japanese merchants eventually shot himself in the foot. Qixin's company monopolized China's cement market for 14 years, and its sales reached more than 92% of the total national cement sales.

The success of Qixin Company has won glory for the disaster-stricken Chinese national industry and won valuable honors for the Chinese people internationally.

Publish the following about foreign paint:

Released In May 1929, Tianjin Yongming Paint Factory started construction amid firecrackers. After more than three years of hard work and hundreds of tests, Chen Diaofu finally got his wish and developed a new paint formula that is affordable and cheap. Chen Diaofu named the new product "Yongming Paint". It became the first famous brand product of China's paint industry. It received a certificate from the Ministry of Industry that year. It was not only popular in China, but also more than 150 manufacturers in the United States, Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany and other countries have established business contacts with Yongming Company. Yongming Company has become a famous brand enterprise that has attracted the attention of its peers across the country.

Chen Diaofu never relaxed his research work for a day. In 1945, he developed an alkyd resin paint, the first generation of synthetic resin paint in my country. This paint was successfully put into production at the Yongming Paint Factory after its recovery. Chen Diaofu named it "Sanbao Paint". This is another famous brand product in China's paint industry that surpasses the West.

In addition, there are Chinese ship king Lu Zuofu and others. What I want to say finally is that China was poor in the past, but it was not vain. And we had industrial products that were comparable to Japan and the United States at that time. These comparisons were more horizontal and not vertical comparisons. Now, we Guangdong people call soap "sanji". Regardless of foreign alkali and national alkali, they are all called sanji, which is just a matter of habit.

Mawei Shipyard was built on December 23, 1866. It was the first machine shipyard produced by the Westernization Movement of the late Qing Dynasty in my country. Shen Baozhen, then Prime Minister of the Shipbuilding Administration, tried to eliminate resistance, reformed the old system, boldly introduced advanced European shipbuilding technology, equipment and engineering technicians, hired Frenchman Riyige as the chief supervisor of the ship administration, and appointed foreigners to teach shipbuilding and machine-making skills. In 1869, my country's first thousand-ton ship was built, and in 1871, my country's first steam engine was born; in 1882, my country's largest tonnage iron rib wood-shell warship was built; in 1889, my country's first steel shell mesh warship was built. From the construction of the factory to 1907, Mawei Shipbuilding Administration experienced the use of foreigners to learn how to build wooden shell steam warships from foreigners to dismissing foreign technicians in 1875, and designed and built ships by themselves, realizing the quality of self-built wooden shell-iron structure-steel ships.

The transformation, more than 40 large and small ships were built, becoming the largest shipyard in my country at that time, and the largest shipbuilding base in the Far East at that time. After the Revolution of 1911, Mawei Shipbuilding was changed to the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau and established the Aircraft Manufacturing Engineering Agency. Chinese young scientific and technological personnel such as Ba Yumo, Wang Zhu, and Zeng Yijing, who graduated from the Department of Aeronautics Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, successfully manufactured China's first "A Type 1" biplane in August 1919 (Feb in France successfully solved the take-off and landing problem of seaplanes and made the world's first seaplane.) After that, 17 aircraft including two-seat trainers, coast patrol aircraft, torpedo bombers were built, and my country's own pilots were trained. This made Fuzhou Shipbuilding not only the birthplace of ships, but also the cradle of China's aviation industry.

Published Hanyang Arsenal

Published (This article only quotes information about light weapons. Hanyang Arsenal still produces other large and large artillery and shells, all of which are omitted.)

Released On September 6, 1890, Zhang Zhidong found the factory site at the foot of the Dabie Mountains, 600 zhang long and 100 zhang wide, south zhang mountain, north han han , west , dajiang river , opposite the provincial capital . Only 9 feet of foundation was needed to build a foundation and increase the embankment to prevent water flooding . That is, a local iron factory, a gun factory and an artillery factory... In August 1895, small-scale production began, and winter reconstruction was completed, and production began to be imitated, imitating the 1888 Mauser rifle produced in Germany (ssion rifle, which has nothing to do with Mauser). Because it is imitating the German m1888 type, it is designated as the 88 type, and its full name is 7.92 cm type 88 Mauser rifle. It uses a round bullet. It produces bullets at the same time, and can produce 130,000 pills per month.

Release of German Customized Type 88 Committee Rifles and Hanyang Made

Released production started in 1896. 1,300 rifles were produced in the first year

In 1901, 2,500 rifles were produced and 316 rifles were raised. 53 guns were lifted. Xu Jianyin successfully tried cotton smokeless gunpowder.

On September 26, 1904, Zhang Zhidong requested to rename the Hubei Arsenal. At that time, 50 rifles could be produced per day and 12,000 bullets.

Released in 1904, Hubei Guns and Cannon Factory improved the Type 88. The difference between the improved Type 88 rifle and the German M1888 type is: there is a sleeve outside the barrel of the German M1888 type, commonly known as the old sleeve.

Release Hanyang-made Type 88 rifle

In 1907, the Army Department issued an order for provinces to purchase firearms in Hubei arsenal. Except for special needs, they should not be purchased from overseas. They should be purchased from the Hanyang factory and paid on time. 9,000 rifles were produced that year.

On September 8, 1916, the Ordnance Department of the Army Department tried to release a new gun made by Liu Qingen, the director of the Hanyang Arsenal (the first person to invent the country to build a semi-automatic rifle), in Nanyuan. It was called a self-loading gun.

Is this the truth?

It was released that the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard accepted orders from the United States from 1918 to 1919 and manufactured four 10,000-ton cargo ships of the same type, all of which were fully covered decks and steam engine cargo ships. They were named "Mandarin", "Celestial", "Oriental", and "Cathey". The ship was 135 meters long, 16.7 meters wide, 11.6 meters deep, and a displacement of 14,750 tons. The first "Guangfu" was launched on June 3, 1920. The four ships were accepted by the US Department of Transportation. The engineering was strong and well-configured. The US government was very satisfied with its construction quality.

I remember when I was in school, the geography teacher said that "there was no drop of oil" in the old China. It was Li Siguang who ended the history of China's oil poverty in the new China.

The release of modern mining of Yanchang Petroleum began in the 22nd year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1896 AD) Yanchang Oil Mine was the mother of China's oil industry. In October of the 30th year of the Guangxu period (1904), Shaanxi Governor Cao Hongxun submitted a petroleum court and allocated 8,100 taels of silver as funds.

Dushanzi is one of the birthplaces of China's oil industry. It was once known as the three earliest oil mines in China, along with Yumen, Gansu and Yanchang, Shaanxi.

Released In 1935, the former Shunde Sugar Factory, known as the "father of Chinese sugar cane sugar production", was put into production, becoming China's first mechanized sugar cane sugar production factory. This is the oldest and largest sugar cane sugar production factory in China, and later developed into the current Shuntang Group.

Xue Guangsen was born in Longjiang, Shunde in the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1865). At the age of 17, he went to Hong Kong to work in a shipyard and learned excellent mechanical technology. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the British tanker "Qinglong" anchored in the Pearl River to repair machinery, Xue managed to completely dismantle the diesel engine on the ship, draw drawings, and measure data. After repeated trials and improvements, he successfully developed China's first domestic diesel engine in 1915. Soon it was put into production in batches, which aroused the surprise of foreign industrialists.

In 1898, in the late Qing Dynasty in the 19th century, the first American "Old Dog" brand (nebsp;     In 1928, Ji Guozhen, a native of Longhua in Shanghai, tried to change this situation. He once predicted: "One day in the future, every daughter will get married, and will have a sewing machine as a dowry!" So he opened the Seungmei sewing machine factory (named "Shengmei" to surpass the United States and "Shengjia"), successfully trial-made China's first domestic household sewing machine, and created the Chinese sewing machine industry.
