1. The long history and culture reflect the charm of Jurong

Jurong was established as a county in the first year of the Western Han Dynasty. It is an ancient but emerging city. Jurong is the intersection of Chu culture and Wu culture, and "Chu tails Wu heads" has become a distinctive feature of Jurong regional culture. According to historical records, Taibo and Zhongyong, the sons of Duke Tang of Zhou, collected medicinal herbs in Juqu Mountain, and the people were grateful for their benefits. They followed them, and they were named Gou Wu in the founding of the country, the predecessor of the Wu Kingdom. Jurong is rich in natural treasures, outstanding people, and famous people in history. Their thoughts have benefited future generations and been passed down from generation to generation. The three Mao brothers collected herbs, made elixirs, cured diseases and helped the people in Juqu Mountain. They were admired by the people, and later generations changed Juqu Mountain to Maoshan; Ge Hong, a medical chemist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was knowledgeable in classics and history and wrote books for generations; Tao Hongjing, a Taoist thinker in the Qi and Liang Dynasties, Officials returned to their hometowns to preach and teach; Zhou Wenju, a great painter of the Five Dynasties, became famous at home and abroad. Da Chongguang, a famous official in the Qing Dynasty, was an honest and upright official. He retired to our city and specialized in landscape calligraphy and painting. He is as famous as Jiang Chenying, Wang Shihong, and He Zhuo, collectively known as the Four Everyone, wait. Influenced by the spirit of their ancestors, Jurong people have inherited the excellent culture of their ancestors and formed the Jurong people's qualities of "simple, natural, enthusiastic and generous". In addition, in the previous revolutionary struggles, especially during the Anti-Japanese War, Jurong Maoshan became the revolutionary base of the New Fourth Army in the Southern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese War. For the liberation of the Chinese nation, many people with lofty ideals spilled their blood all over the mountains and rivers of Jurong, adding to the This sentence describes Rong's character of "not afraid of hardships and hard work". Practice has proved that with this spirit, Jurong has been awarded "China's Top 100 Economic Counties", "National Science and Technology Advanced (County) City", and "China's Excellent Tourism City" in the process of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and realizing socialist modernization. , "Hometown of China's Strawberry Specialties", "National Double Support Model City", "National Ecological Demonstration Zone", "Jiangsu Province Sanitary City, Civilized City" and more than 20 national and provincial honorary titles.

2. Taoist thought condenses the humanistic spirit

There are three famous mountains in Jurong. One is Maoshan, a Taoist holy land, commonly known as "the first blessed place, the eighth cave" and has a historical reputation of " The Immortal Mansion of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the home of the prime ministers of the Liang and Tang Dynasties; one is Baohua Mountain, the first mountain in Buddhism, which is famous in Southeast Asia and is a national forest park; the other is Wawu Mountain, known as Jiuzhaigou Valley in southern Jiangsu, which has maintained a good original style. The largest statue of Laozi in the world is built in Maoshan, Jurong. Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" says that "tolerance is great", "Tao follows nature", and "heaven and man are one", emphasizing the harmony between man and nature. Interestingly, Jurong Maoshan and Baohua Mountain, one in the south and the other in the north, are located in the same county, which is extremely rare in the country. They embody the "inclusive spirit" of being inclusive and accepting of all rivers.

"Jurong, Jurong, tolerance means greatness, it can accommodate the affairs of the world, and it can accommodate guests from all over the world." By tapping this humanistic spirit of "the sea embraces all rivers, tolerance means greatness", we innovate and develop in the face of new situations and tasks, Carry forward the service concept of "honesty, conscientiousness, and responsiveness to requests", always use humanistic care and humanistic thoughts throughout the economic construction work, and create a strong atmosphere of "pro-business, business safety, and wealthy businessmen".

“Be honest and conscientious, and respond to requests” is not a product of foreign culture, nor is it external. It is an important part of Chinese culture. It is the culture in the heart and reflects the relationship between people. . Confucius once said, "The people cannot stand without trust," which means that without trust, there is no foundation. In recent years, Jurong has always adhered to honesty and integrity in its economic construction and does what it says. In the process of developing an open economy, Jurong made a move that attracted the attention of the whole province and took the lead in implementing the "no-fee zone" policy. This means that companies investing in this area have no other place to pay taxes except paying taxes according to national regulations. cost burden. That is, only taxes and no fees are collected. The implementation of the foreign businessman direct card system aims to provide foreign businessmen with more comprehensive and convenient services in work and life. It puts forward the concept that leaders are waiters and everyone is an investment environment. For all types of investment projects, the sponsoring unit responsibility system is implemented. The unit sponsoring the project is responsible for various approval procedures and provides comprehensive services without the need for merchants to "personally" Take action”. The high-quality and efficient services have attracted foreign investors in droves. Some world-renowned brand companies such as Japan's Kemei Coria and Fortune 500 company Rohm and Haas of the United States have settled in our city, creating an effect of attracting foreign investors. There is a Taiwanese businessman in Jurong who invested in our city a few years ago. He never made any money because the project was not good. Later, under the guidance of the city leaders, he invested and developed a "Taiwan Town" and built a villa area.* **Developed 36 villas, all sold out before holding a press conference. This Taiwanese businessman was impressed by the sincere treatment of Jurong people and introduced his Taiwanese wife's brother's high-tech electronic equipment company to Jurong with a total investment of US$5 million. Examples like this abound in our city. Today, the "Chinese Ceramic Doll City" in Guozhuang Town, Jurong has utilized more than 64 million U.S. dollars in foreign investment and has become an export base for ceramic dolls. The four bicycle manufacturing plants in Jurong with an investment of more than 12 million US dollars and an annual output of 7 million units are also the fruitful results of this kind of exploration. Taiwan's Jiuzheng Optoelectronics, Yijin Optoelectronics, Huaye New Technology and other optoelectronic companies have settled in Jurong to form an industrial chain, and a modern medium-sized industrial city is emerging.

3. Leap-forward development gave birth to the "Jurong phenomenon"

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Jurong was still an underdeveloped area on the Shanghai-Nanjing line, and was closely related to Su, Xichang (Jiangyin, Jiangyin, etc.) There is a big gap compared with county-level cities such as Kunshan and Zhangjiagang. How to shorten the gap and turn disadvantages into advantages has always been a problem that our city is constantly exploring. The only way out is to change concepts, emancipate the mind, and seek breakthroughs in the great reform and opening up. Based on the characteristics of our city’s weak industrial base, abundant labor resources and tourism resources, and its proximity to large and medium-sized cities, our city has formulated four plans to build a Taiwanese investment-intensive area, a strong tourism city in China, a modern medium-sized city, and a national ecological demonstration zone. The big goal set off a construction boom. Through the development of the past few years, Jurong has achieved leapfrog development in the construction of political civilization, material civilization, and spiritual civilization. Various economic indicators have achieved historic breakthroughs. Agricultural industrialization, private economy, and the introduction of foreign investment have taken the lead in the province. Forefront. After inspecting Jurong, Mr. Yang Jinlin, a famous commentator on Hong Kong Phoenix TV's "You Bao Daily Reading" program, sincerely admired the development of Jurong and called it "Jurong Phenomenon". Major national media such as People's Daily, Guangming Daily, Hong Kong Commercial Daily, Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, Macau Daily, Economic Daily, etc. focused on Jurong and gave all-round and multi-faceted reports. Interprets the connotation of "sentence phenomenon". That is, the team spirit of working hard and pursuing excellence; the governance philosophy of putting the people first and people-oriented; and the service atmosphere of being honest, conscientious, and responsive to requests. Its essence can be summarized as: governing for the people, putting people first, and caring for humanity. Its core is to serve investors, taxpayers, and ordinary people.

The "Jurong phenomenon" originated from the inheritance of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, the nourishment of Jurong regional culture, and the creation of modern civilization. Entering the 21st century, Jurong is rising with tenacity, overcoming difficulties, uniting and striving to be first-class, shaping the "Jurong phenomenon" and extending the connotation of the "Jurong phenomenon".

In terms of economic development, the new concept of "building a new eastern suburb of Nanjing, a strong tourism city in China, and a famous historical and cultural city in the south of the Yangtze River" has been re-proposed. By establishing the Nanjing brand, the landscape brand, and the integrity brand, we will fully integrate with Nanjing, accept Nanjing's radiation, integrate into Nanjing's economic core circle, and enhance Jurong's comprehensive competitiveness.

In terms of urban construction, we continue to emphasize team spirit, the strength of the team, the strength of the collective, the top and bottom have the same desire, and work hard to form the spirit of Jurong people that "building is first-class, and innovation will succeed" . Either don't build it, or build it to first-class standards; strive for the first and create the only one.

First, scientific planning and accelerated urban construction. Relying on the market-oriented operation model, the city finance invested more than 13.5 million yuan, which leveraged the scale of urban construction with a total investment of 1 billion yuan. Construction of urban outer ring roads such as Jumao Road, Dongjin Road, North Second Ring Road, and West Third Ring Road has expanded the city's scale to 30 square kilometers; built 6 fragrant, beautified, green, and green gardens including Phoenix Garden, Bauhinia Garden, and Magnolia Garden. A brightly lit residential area; the old city area will be renovated to build the Patiya Commercial and Cultural Plaza and Huayang Famous Street integrating culture, entertainment, shopping and leisure; for high-quality road sections, Huayang South Road, Huayang East Road, Huayang West Road and Huayang North Road have been completely renovated. Camphor trees and magnolia trees have replaced pagoda pines, see-through glass doors have replaced rolling shutter doors, fashionable commercial billboards have replaced placards, and all poles and wires have been removed from the ground. The second is to highlight highlights and implement high-quality projects. A cultural activity and leisure area of ??"one park, two fields and two belts" has been built. That is, the Gexian Lake Park in the urban area; the 40,000-square-meter New Century Plaza and Yuqing Plaza; the ten-mile corridor Yuqing River and Jurong River Scenic Belt; the first-class stadium with tens of thousands of spectator stands among county-level cities in the province, and the provincial Jurong High-end Middle school; restored and rebuilt historical monuments, the Great St. Pagoda, the tallest pagoda of its type in the province at 88 meters high, Gexian Temple, Huayang Academy, Santai Pavilion, etc.; a Chinese border town that is undergoing large-scale development and construction, and is a French-style, famous It is a collection of international first-class tourist resort towns. The third is to tap resources and improve tourism culture. National 4A-level scenic tourist areas Maoshan, Baohua Mountain and Wawu Mountain, known as Jiuzhaigou Valley in southern Jiangsu, have left monuments and calligraphy seals of historical celebrities such as Li Bai, Han Yu, Wang Wei, Yan Zhenqing, Wang Anshi, and Qianlong. The restoration and reconstruction of historical relics will play a positive role in the development of Jurong. Since this year, Jurong City, based on its advantages, has intensified the development of "Three Mountains and Five Lakes", introducing the Hong Kong China Land Bank real estate agency to invest 300 million yuan to develop the Lunshan Lake Tourist Resort, Maoshan Monument Forest, and the Southern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese War Monument II. The first-phase project and the development and construction of Maoshan Huaerrun Ecological Demonstration Zone are in full swing, and a famous historical, tourist and cultural city is emerging.

Now that we are in a period of cultural self-consciousness, reform and opening up has provided us with a broad stage to attract, learn from, and integrate the world's outstanding cultures, and pointed out the direction for the inheritance and adjustment of Chinese culture. Therefore, it can be predicted that under the guidance of the most advanced ideas of mankind, the combination of traditional Chinese culture and modern civilization will definitely produce a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, and the day when this culture matures will be the time of comprehensive rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
