Yidu matches

? Matches used to be called "matches" because they were imported. The side of the matchbox is coated with red phosphorus (igniter), antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3, flammable) and glass powder. The substances on the matchhead are generally KClO3 (oxidant), MnO2 (catalyst) [6] and S (combustible). When the two are rubbed, the heat generated by the friction ignites the red phosphorus in contact with KClO3, etc., and makes the combustible materials on the match head burn, thus causing the match stick to catch fire.

? In this era of cooking smoke and electrification of lighters, the word "match" has become a historical term. Many young people may not know what it is. There were beautifully decorated matches in some hotel rooms a few years ago. I really don't know what they are used for. I haven't even seen such a game in recent years.

? The author first knew about matches when he was just sensible, and he remembered cooking and boiling water with his mother in the kitchen of his hometown. Later, when he went to school, he realized that the two characters on the matchbox were "Yidu". As for where Yidu is, I can't think of anything except the words on the matchbox. Later, when I went to college, I had to go to Qingzhou Railway Station and take a train to the city where the school was located, only to know that this was Yidu. Yidu County withdrew from the county to set up a city on 1986, and the word "Yidu" remained on many plaques in old streets and alleys. Several years have passed, and my work unit has been reorganized frequently and my job position has been adjusted frequently. I actually came to work in Qingzhou and talked with my local colleagues about Yidu Competition. I looked up the history of "Yi Du Pei" on the Internet, which is amazing. This year just happens to be the centenary birthday! I just heard that there is no need for matches in life, and Yidu Match Factory has become history. The following is the information of Yidu Match Factory.

? In the early years of the Republic of China, the boss of Qingdao Jiaoao Company and the comprador came to Yidu (Qingzhou) to inspect Xihetan Power Plant, and then signed a land sale agreement with Dongdian Yang and Dou, intending to build a "match factory" here. Unexpectedly, after World War I and Germany's defeat, this project was put on hold for two years. Liu Jingting from West Street 1920 (It is said that this person is not only well managed, but also very good at martial arts. For this reason, people also call him "Leng"), Shi Shaozhou of Xihetan and others discussed raising 6.5438+0.04 million yuan to rebuild Dongyi Match Co., Ltd. (195 1 changed to "local state-owned Xinyi Match Factory") and put it into production on 192 1. After that, although the factory was intermittent because of "bandits" and "war", Yidu finally had its own "match factory". The newly established Shandong Province has only three match factories in Qingdao, Jinan and Qingzhou (there were five later), but Yidu started production several months earlier than Jinan.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shandong's industrial base was very weak, and many counties were almost poor, so it can be said that even a screw could not be produced. But at that time, Qingzhou had five or six factories with more than 400 people, such as tobacco factory, winery, match factory and mining machinery factory (valve factory). Although it is far from today, the efficient and stable economic benefits made the surrounding counties at that time far behind, and Qingzhou was known as "Little Anshan". Today, although some of the above-mentioned enterprises have withdrawn from the historical stage, Qingzhou people will never forget their great contributions to Qingzhou's development at that time.

? Qingzhou used to be the resident of East China Bureau and Shandong Provincial Committee, and its geographical position was superior. Therefore, during the period of 1956 "public-private partnership", the state merged the small match factories scattered in central Shandong into Qingzhou match factory. In the era of planned economy, the production, supply and sales of enterprises are arranged by the state. In the west of Qingdao, east of Jinan, north of Linyi and south of the Yellow River, two matches are given to each household every month for the production task of the month, and the state allocates raw materials in a unified way. In particular, it is pointed out that the chemical raw materials used in the production of matches, such as potassium chlorate, red phosphorus and nitrate, are all explosives, which were strictly controlled by successive regimes before liberation. Yang Jiuwu, the head of the Kuomintang in Yidu County, asked the "flag army" in the north city (Manchuria military camp) to be responsible for guarding the match factory. The Japanese army "Kono Army" stationed at the railway station during the Japanese Puppet War (west of the old railway station, the "General Temple" railway station at the time of the filming of "Going South and Fighting North") also supervised the factory. Old people in the urban area may still remember that every morning, a group of fully armed PLA people came out of Chengnan North Gate (there was no full-time police uniform at that time) and went to the match factory to watch classes. This shows that New China is also quite sensitive to these explosive materials. If the purchase of these raw materials requires the approval of the provincial public security department, this rule once made matches extremely nervous. At that time, people joked that it seemed to be going back to the era of flint and cheap fire. "What is lacking is expensive." At that time, if something happened, take two matches, so that you can come in and answer your personal feelings.

After the reform and opening-up, all the surrounding counties have the same type of enterprises as "fertilizer plants" and "agricultural repair plants", but the match factory is the only one in Shandong, and no matter Zibo, Weifang, Linyi and Dongying, they come to Qingzhou to light matches every month. People will naturally think of Qingzhou when they talk about matches. Inadvertently, this match factory has become a unique and beautiful brand and business card in Qingzhou. Our country (Ministry of Light Industry) has four bases in the whole country, such as Zhanhe in the northeast and Jiamusi in the east, which are the bases for allocating wood in the whole country. Shanghai is the base of match tools, and Wuhan is the research and development base of "match machinery"; Qingzhou is a cutting-edge match production base, which has developed and produced "all-paper matches", "wax-stem matches", stemless matches and military windproof, waterproof and electric welding matches. And for every product and every working procedure, "operating rules" and "post responsibility system" are formulated. In the national match quality appraisal in the early 1980s, Yidu match was rated as the second place by the Ministry of Light Industry. Later, due to various factors, this old factory, which is the same age as our party and has made great contributions to Qingzhou, was declared bankrupt on July 1997. In the original site, it was replaced by rows of warehouses in Weifang Grain Depot (formerly the provincial grain depot), and this Qingzhou Match Factory became a historical term.
