A small city in Zhejiang without metal mineral resources, why did tens of thousands of hardware manufacturing enterprises emerge? With the acceleration of green and intelligent development, how can electricity be "immersed" into enterprises and help the transformation of the hardware industry?

Thinking: How to become a "hardware capital" without mines

Yongkang, with historical legends on one end, is connected to the typical temperament of Zhejiang county economy that "made out of nothing".

Located in Zhejiang, Yongkang is buried with the "root of hardware". The "Yongkang City Record" records that in the Tang Dynasty, some people in Yongkang had already made iron tools and set up shops for sale; In the Yuan Dynasty, Yongkang's copper and iron locks were enshrined as tribute; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yongkang craftsmen forged blades for Zheng Chenggong's army...

In an agrarian society, Yongkang, who has many mountains and few fields, cannot feed one person on land. The "hardware craft" handed down since ancient times has become a new way to live. Since the Song Dynasty, many Yongkang peasants have taken up "burdens" and earned income with their own crafts. Pots and pots can be replenished, keys can be called... Their footprints spread throughout the country's urban and rural areas, as far as frontiers and islands.

The cooking emperor who is deeply engaged in the field of kitchenware, the first generation Wang Muyang is a pot tinkerer. Since around 1956, he has been making a living by tinkering pots, carrying a burden on his shoulders, laden with crucibles, stoves, charcoal, anvil stools, small hammers, drills and cotton rolls, etc., and living a "life in a pick" with his superb pot mending skills.

The persistence of his father's generation and the charm of his skills had a great influence on Wang Linxing. From 1960 to 1970, Wang Linxing followed his father Wang Muyang to the south and north, sleeping in the wind and meals, and developed the entrepreneurial dream of one day setting up his own factory to make pots. Later, taking advantage of the east wind of reform and opening up, many Yongkang people like Wang Linxing put down their "business burdens", returned to their hometowns to set up factories, and laid out a scrap metal recycling network across the country, "making something out of nothing" to gather the scarce hardware here.

"Hardware craftsmen go in all directions, and the counties of Fufu do not leave Kang", this ballad that has been sung to this day is a true portrayal of the "Xingzhan" people going south and north, is the imprint of the "craftsman spirit" spreading in all directions, and is also a proof that Zhejiang has come out of the dilemma of development with many people and few places. In the thousands of trials day after day, the hardware industry is passed down through "craftsmen", generation after generation.
