With Industry Wisdom, Cultural Genes And Other Elements, Who Will Make The Grande Canale "Live"?

In the 70s and 80s of last century, "true cool", which swept the country, was once the most vivid memory in the era of "fashion shortage".

65, Dang Cang Road, the Grande Canale, five star intelligent garden, its predecessor is the state-run Changzhou synthetic fiber factory. This was the earliest factory in Jiangsu that produced "really cool". The camellia brand Dacron produced by it was once a well-known product in the whole province and even in the whole country.

Zhao Dongqing entered the synthetic fiber factory in 1968, worked as an operator, worked as a monitor, worked as a shop statistician, production equipment, technician and so on, and then worked for a long time in the education of workers and staff until retirement.

According to Zhao Dongqing's "Changzhou synthetic fiber factory", in the 60s of last century, the state began to develop synthetic fibers vigorously.

At that time, polyester fiber and cotton blended, you can get blended "really cool" cloth, "what we call" really cool "is actually this kind of polyester fabric.

In 1966, the newly built state-run Changzhou synthetic fiber factory began to develop and produce polyester staple with a workshop in the Grande Canale's original oil chemical plant.

The synthetic fiber factory has become the first small chemical fiber production unit in Jiangsu Province, and is also one of the earliest manufacturers of polyester fiber in China.

In the early 70s of the last century, with the formation and development of the coordination of chemical fiber production in the city, Changzhou produced its own "cool" polyester cotton cloth made of fibers, spinning, weaving and dyeing and finishing.

Zhao Dongqing regrets, "in those days, Changzhou's" chemical fiber dragon "was well known throughout the country. We are the leading enterprise in this" dragon ".

"Changzhou synthetic fiber factory" shows that as early as the early 70s of last century, according to the population at that time, the annual output of the synthetic fiber factory could supply eight feet of "Dacron" cloth for every citizen.

Up to the 90s of last century, with the development of the times and the improvement of people's living standards, the "cool" fabric, which had no air permeability and no sweat, gradually declined. After the new century, the synthetic fiber factory gradually declined due to various reasons.

For Zhao Dongqing, today's five-star Garden has a familiar and strange flavor.

What is familiar is that there is no change in the factory buildings and the layout of the factory. It is strange that the old factory buildings are full of modern and fashionable temperament after renovation and decoration of the facade and public parts.

The white exterior walls are decorated with red steel frame structures, whitewashed old balconies, everywhere glass curtain walls, and all kinds of film and television animation, creative design, cultural media, art coffee bar and other supporting facilities.

The whole park smells of LOFT.

"In July 2015, we signed a contract with the five star street in Bell Tower District, and at the end of 2015, we started the pformation of the entire factory area."

Su Juan, general manager of the park area operator and Changzhou District Science and Technology Park, has participated in the pformation, investment and operation of the factory area. "The entire factory covers an area of 70 mu, with a building area of nearly 60 thousand square meters. We have almost retained all the main buildings in the plant, upgrading and upgrading the facade of the factory, and upgrading the roads and landscapes of the park."

Su Juan said: "this is a record worthy history, and also a unique cultural accumulation in the park. It is a feeling on the side of the Grande Canale."

As of December 2018, Wuxing gardening has been stationed in 200 enterprises. It has formed an industrial park with the development of cultural media, film and television animation, design photography and other creative enterprises, supplemented by e-commerce, Internet and other technology-based enterprises.

At present, the park has been identified as "one of the ten major cultural and industrial bases in the bell tower area", "Changzhou cultural industry demonstration park", "Changzhou Municipal University Student Pioneer Park", "Jiangsu star enterprise public service platform for small and medium enterprises", "Jiangsu small and micro enterprise innovation and innovation demonstration base", "Jiangsu science and technology business incubator", "Jiangsu province public innovation space", "Jiangsu province business incubation base" and so on.

As of 2018, the annual output value of the park reached 400 million yuan, the annual tax revenue reached tens of millions of yuan, and the number of employed persons was more than 1500.

The canal, which once took the water pportation economy as its mission, has now become an excellent carrier for tourism, culture, creativity, trade, leisure and housing.

Take the bell tower area, which is the most concentrated industrial heritage and cultural memory along the canal, for example, when planning the layout of "13th Five-Year", the area proposed "6+1" plate construction, among which "ancient canal ecological culture and leisure plate" is one of them.

Zhao Zhengbin, Secretary of the Bell Tower District Committee, told reporters that the Grande Canale is an important historical legacy and cultural memory of the bell tower area. The bell tower section of the Grande Canale has its form, popularity and potential. It has initially formed a group of cultural industry clusters represented by canal No. five. The magnificent turn of the synthetic fiber factory is a microcosm of the new canal economy. It is gaining increasing support and recognition by upgrading the industrial heritage appropriately, extending the urban context and redefining its business functions.

Zhao Zhengbin said that the bell tower area is now building a "double Creation + Science Creation + literary creation" industrial belt along the canal, so that the Grande Canale can "live" with elements such as industrial wisdom and cultural genes, and strive to create new business cards for the new era, new canal and new economic development.
