The Brilliance Of Modern Wool Textile Industry In Tianjin

In the Tianjin archives, two old photographs of Tianjin's modern wool textile industry were kept in the Republic of China. As one of the earliest cities in China's modern industry, there are many stories to tell about the wool textile industry in Tianjin. Tianjin archives staff told reporters that the old photos of the Ren Li woolen mill and the East Asian wool mill were the largest factories in Tianjin's wool textile industry during the Republic of China. In that era, they established and revitalized the national industry, and they had sung the Taiwan opera with the imported woolen fabrics at that time.

Tianjin Ren Li woolen mill was founded in 1931 by Mr. Zhu Jisheng, a modern industrialist. The textile machines used for production were imported from England. At that time, the products of Ren Li woolen mill were carpet, uniforms, woolen cloth, blanket and so on. The staff of the Tianjin archives pointed out: "what is worth mentioning is that in September 1933, Ren Li started the" Tianma "brand of woolen cloth, and the steed in the trademark stood tall and upright, looking at the distance. It was very lofty. It was a lofty aspiration of the Chinese to start an enterprise. The products of Ren Li woolen mill were popular after launch. They set up branches and sales outlets in Beijing, Shanghai and other places. After that, Mr. Zhu Jisheng also brought products to Japan, the United States and Holland to build a customer network.

However, when it comes to the early Tianjin wool textile industry, there is still one person who has to mention it. That is the famous song Emperor Qing Qing. No matter his legendary life or the brand of "arriving sheep" he founded, there are many stories for the people of Jincheng.

When he studied in the United States in the early years, he was influenced by European and American ideas. The factory also adopted the western style management method. He created the "Yang Yang" brand wool produced by the East Asian wool textile Limited by Share Ltd, which was of high quality and sold well all over the country, and today is still a favorite brand among consumers.

"East Asian factory" has high welfare benefits such as dining hall, single dormitory, uniform, invoice, bath ticket and so on. At the same time, there are educational institutions and hospitals.

It is understood that the "East Asian factory" of Song Qing Qing in Yunnan road has been moved away, but the site still has a very small courtyard. The most prominent thing in the courtyard is the sheep sculpture, which stands quietly, still seems to tell people about the history of the old factory.

In the early 30s of last century, song Kai Qing founded the "East Asian factory" and absorbed the foreign business philosophy. He had a unique method in production technology, business strategy, especially for the welfare of workers: "the welfare benefits of workers are very good, and even now recall the" East Asian factory ". Some people still feel that its welfare standard is not commensurate with the economic foundation of the society at that time. Zhang Cheng, a literary historian, said. For example, there are workers' canteens for workers' welfare benefits, and male and female workers' dormitories. In winter and summer each year, two uniforms are distributed to workers in factories and workers are issued on time, and the bath tickets are issued to workers. In addition, it is commendable that factories are funded from kindergartens, primary schools to secondary schools. These schools were large scale, well equipped and highly qualified teachers in schools in Tianjin at that time, and their children were free to enter schools. If an employee's children enter a university, they can enjoy different amounts of grants according to their scores according to the school examination transcripts. In addition to schools, the factory also has a "textile hospital", workers and family members can be treated. In addition to providing medical services for staff and family members, the hospital also provided relief to victims. In 1939, a flood caused many victims in Hebei to flee to Tianjin. The hospital not only provided medical treatment for the victims, but also provided food for the victims.

The idea of managing factories is still worth learning. Song Qing Qing Addressing employees in the factory with "colleagues" is a labor relations, but it is called "respect", "respect for the same brand" and "struggle for the common ideals of the enterprise".

Zhang Cheng said that in the "East Asian factory", workers not only had many benefits, but also had plenty of amateur sports and activities. This was related to Song Qing Qing's emphasis on "spiritual civilization". According to the records of literature and history related to the "East Asian factory", Song Qing Qing not only formulated various rules and regulations, but also wrote factory songs. He vigorously promoted the factory regulations and factory training of the "East Asian factory", encouraged the development of sports activities, and organized basketball teams, drama troupes and Beijing opera troupes.

It is said that he is very serious and taciturn, but he will dance and sing Beijing Opera with everyone when he is in holiday. Song Qing Qing once told the workers, "I am not doing the right thing, you can hate me, but you can not hate" East Asia "or" East Asia ". You must go out to have an image and not destroy the reputation of" East Asia ". All along, in the impression of the people around the factory, "East Asian factory" workers entering and leaving the factory area are standing by sitting, sitting and sitting, talking and dressing are very standard, impressive. Zhang Cheng said: "the merits and demerits are reserved for posterity, but the idea of factory management of Song Qing Qing was still worth learning after decades."

Ji master is 70 years old. He worked for a short time in the East Asian factory in 60s of last century. Although he worked in the Song Qing Qing era for many years, he still felt the strong cultural atmosphere and good mental outlook of the workers. After entering the "East Asian factory", Ji Shifu Dyeing and finishing workshop At work, the main job is to give Woollen Textiles Dyeing, "put the white billet into the dyeing tank, the water in the dyeing tank is hot, which is equivalent to boiling the ingredients once again, and the color is attached to the material," Ji master told reporters. Then, after fixing, drying and other processes, and finally ironing, a brand-new woollen material is presented to people. When it comes to the "East Asian factory", the most impressive impression of Ji is the workers' night school in the factory. Master Shifu said, "those masters are thirty or forty years old, working in the daytime, and studying knowledge in the evening school at night. If they stick to it, they will be able to fill in the high school level." "Never stop and pursue new knowledge" is the most profound experience of Ji master in the "East Asian factory". In fact, this is not related to the "East Asian factory" attaches importance to the tradition of cultural education.

Zhang Cheng, the founder of "East Asian factory", said: "he is an ambitious man. Besides the" East Asian factory ", he has many plans, such as silk mills, Ma mills, paper mills, investment insurance (Fang Xinbao) and so on. In those days, the biggest difference between Song Qing Qing and other business managers was that he called the workers in the factory with "colleagues", although they were labor relations, but they were so called, they were both respecting and promising for the same brand and common ideals for the enterprises. He once wrote a pamphlet called "my dream", which gave out his series of industrial ideals.
