I come from Hangu District, Tianjin. We have lived here for generations and grew up eating the salt here. It can be said that the history of saltworks is a history of industrial revolution in China.

I. History of Hangu Salt Field in Luchang, Tianjin

Tianjin Hangu saltworks was built in Tongguang for five years, and it is one of the earliest coastal saltworks in China, with a history of more than 1000 years. Salt field produces long reed salt, which is famous at home and abroad. White in color and full in particles, it is a necessity for people's production and life.

1After the Lugouqiao Incident broke out on July 7, 937, the Japanese army occupied Tianjin. In order to meet the needs of the war, they began to plunder the resources of Hangu saltworks, developed saltworks in the third year of high school and expanded the production scale. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the salt produced by Luchang Salt Field was transported to Japan and became the capital for the Japanese to launch a criminal war.

After liberation, when China's industry resumed, leaders at all levels attached great importance to Luchang Salt Field, focusing on developing salt production here, improving salt-making technology and using scientific salt-making methods, and the salt field developed rapidly.

Secondly, the spring salt stripping operation in Luchang Salt Field is introduced.

In the endless sea, rich seawater becomes a resource for salt stripping, which leads the seawater to the operation area, and then crystallizes the salt from the seawater through the hard work of workers. Every spring, Luchang Salt Field will carry out salt scraping operation. Under the action of sunshine, the salt ponds arranged vertically and horizontally are colorful, just like a beautiful picture scroll, which is displayed in front of people and becomes the place where people punch in online celebrity.

This colorful picture is imaginative. In the eyes of designers, it is a blank sheet of paper; In the eyes of the painter, it is a palette; In the eyes of children, it is a fairy tale; In the eyes of girls, it is eye shadow; Can't imagine too much.

Third, industrious industrial workers have created a happy life for us.

In Hangu area, there are many people working in the saltworks. They rely on their hard work to deliver salt to every household, which meets our daily needs. There are many kinds of salt in the market, such as iodized salt and domestic calcium salt. Thank these workers for providing us with daily necessities.
