Where is Dazhai in Shanxi Province?

The central part of Shanxi Province belongs to Xiyang County, Jinzhong City.

Dazhai Village is located in the southeast of Xiyang County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province. It is a small mountain village in Xiyang County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province.

It belongs to the rocky mountain area of Taihang Mountain. Due to long-term wind erosion and water shortage, the landform of seven ditches, eight beams and one slope has formed in this area. Here is a wasteland, with seven ditches and eight beams on one side and a slope. The natural environment is harsh and people's lives are very hard.

Later, in order to control mountains and water, terraces were opened on a slope of Qigou and Baliang, and irrigation of land with water changed the situation of relying on the sky for food.

Therefore, it was affirmed and praised by the CPC Central Committee, and issued a call of "learning from agriculture" in 1964, thus becoming a banner of national agriculture.

Glorious course:

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, Dazhai was a brigade of Dazhai Commune in Xiyang County, Shanxi Province. This used to be a poor mountain village. After the agricultural cooperation, the members cut mountains and slopes to build terraces, which increased the grain yield per mu by seven times.

1964 February 10, People's Daily published the communication report "The Road to Dazhai" by Xinhua News Agency reporters to introduce their advanced deeds. He also published an editorial "A Good Example of Building Mountainous Areas with Revolutionary Spirit", calling on the people of the whole country, especially the agricultural front, to learn from the revolutionary spirit of the people of Dazhai.

Since then, the "Agricultural Dazhai" movement has sprung up in rural areas all over the country, and Dazhai has become a shining example of China's agricultural front.
