Bozhou is located in the junction of the four provinces of Sulu, Henan and Anhui, at the southern end of the Huanghuai Plain, and bordered by Henan in the northwest. As the youngest prefecture-level city in the economic belt of Anhui Province, Cangzhou shoulders the heavy responsibility of driving and radiating the northwestern region of Yunnan. For Zhangzhou, how to enlarge and strengthen the Chinese medicine industry, boost the tourism industry, and achieve "agricultural modernization, industrialization, and urbanization" go hand in hand, which is a new journey of this historical and cultural city.
Chinese medicine capital
Cangzhou became a drug capital, and nature and "Shenzhi" Hua Tuo had an indissoluble bond. Zhangzhou is the hometown of Huaying. Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has opened the first “medicine sputum” here. Since then, the wind of planting and operating medicinal materials has lasted for a long time.
The history of planting and operating Chinese herbal medicines in Ganzhou has been more than 1,000 years. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhangzhou has been recognized as one of the "four major Chinese medicine capitals". Today, the planting area of Chinese herbal medicines in Zhangzhou accounts for 1/10 of the national total, and the output of traditional Chinese medicines accounts for 1/3 of the national total. The export volume of Chinese medicines ranks third in the country.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Huaying Chinese Medicine City has already been full of people. The sample transaction in the morning market is the most important activity of the Chinese Medicine City every day. According to the local people, it is called “upward”. “Every day, there are three shoppers, one can’t finish it, there are tens of thousands of booths.” A medicinal material buyer from Shandong told me. Many of the first-timers also used the "upward" as a training ground to lay the foundation for selecting good medicines. Samples of medicinal materials are placed on each booth for buyers to choose bargaining. If appropriate, leave contact information. After “downstream”, go to the store and make specific purchases. "Although the form is relatively backward, this is the rule that has been formed for decades." A person in charge of Zhangzhou Chinese Medicine City introduced me.
The Chinese medicine city was originally located at the railway station and moved at the end of last year. It covers an area of more than 1,000 mu and has a construction area of more than 1.2 million square meters, including 100,000 square meters in the trading hall, which is three times that of the original Chinese herbal medicine trading center hall. It is known as “the world's largest”. The Zhangzhou Chinese Medicine Trading Market has undergone four relocations. “Every time it moves, whether it is for Zhangzhou or for Yanzhou drug dealers, it is a progress and a sublimation, which makes the transactions of the Chinese herbal medicine trading market in Zhangzhou more concentrated. Specification." The person in charge of the Chinese Medicine City said proudly. At present, there are dozens of well-known domestic pharmaceutical companies such as Kangmei Pharmaceutical, Amendment Pharmaceutical, Hutchison Whampoa, Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical, Jiangzhong Pharmaceutical, and Tianjin Pharmaceutical.
100 billion pharmaceutical industry goals
Judging from the economic belt in the north of Zhangzhou, the territory covers nearly 30% of Anhui Province, and the population accounts for more than 40% of Weibei, but it is the shortcoming of Anhui's regional economy. Although the economic aggregate has increased greatly in recent years, according to official data, the industrialization rate is only 33.7%, 12.9 percentage points lower than Anhui Province, and the urbanization rate is only 33%, 13.5 lower than the province. percentage point. However, with the improvement of the Chinese medicine industry chain, the improvement of transportation facilities in the Central Plains, and the rise of tourism, Ganzhou has embarked on a new journey of economic development in northern Fujian.
In recent years, Zhangzhou proposed to introduce strategic investors, integrate tourism resources, and create tourism brands featuring traditional Chinese medicine health culture parks, focusing on cultural brands, celebrities, Chinese medicine, liquor and health, and to build tourism brands that focus on traditional Chinese medicine health culture parks. “Daoyuan Holy Land, Cao Wei’s Hometown, Chinese Medicine Capital, Health and Health Cangzhou” formed a new tourism pattern in the Anhui tourism plate, “Southern Tour Huangshan, North Tour Zhangzhou”. "We must further improve the 'special' word article, and firmly take the road of 'special' to win the "special" city, and give full play to the important role of the characteristic industry in the city's economy." Wang Xuejun, the governor of Anhui Province, visited Chenzhou I have pointed out.
For the medicines, the Anhui Provincial Government clearly stated at the end of 2009 that it “supports the construction of the Chinese medicine industrialization base in Zhangzhou” and approved the “Development Plan for Modern Chinese Medicine Industry in Anhui Province”, striving to cultivate the Chinese medicine industry into Anhui Province in 10 years. The key industries and one of the pillar industries of Ganzhou City, the output value of the Chinese medicine industry exceeds 100 billion yuan. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, Zhangzhou has also identified top ten liquors, food manufacturing and agricultural products processing, automobiles and parts, cultural tourism, coal chemical and new energy, electronic information, modern service industry, strategic emerging industries, and labor-intensive equipment manufacturing. industry.
In the past, there was more communication and less cooperation between Ganzhou and the neighboring Henan cities. With the hometowns of Cao Cao in Henan, the Huaying, Laozi and Huamulan historical sites have been continually struggling. With the integration of Zhangzhou into the Central Plains economic zone, it will open the door to deep cooperation with Henan.
