山西是中国的一个内陆省份。人们普遍认为山西是中国的一个贫穷的农业省份。但实际情况是自本世纪二十年代以来,山西一直是中国工业发展较早的省份之一。 山西最早建立的近代工业是在清朝末年,当时建立起的火柴、机器、炼铁、电灯和用机器采煤并修建了正太铁路,但这些工业的规模都很小。从二十年代山西开始了第一次大规模工业建设,陆续建立起十几个兵工厂及与其相关的工业。到三十年代,发展了较多的重工业和军火工业。山西第二次大规模工业化建设是在中华人民共和国建立之后,主要是在山西发展重工业,特别是煤炭工业。据估计山西煤炭储量占全国的30％,而且高质量的无烟煤和动力煤占很大比重。山西的第三次工业化运动开始于改革开放时代,然而这次运动的初期比沿海省份落后了。到了九十年代,山西省的发展战略产生了巨大变化,这个战略对山西的发展已初见端倪,并将对山西的未来产生巨大而又深远的影响。它不仅确保了山西自身的整体利益,而且又有利于全国经济的发 Shanxi is an inland province of China. It is generally accepted that Shanxi is a poor agricultural province in China. However, the reality is that since the 1920s, Shanxi Province has been one of the provinces where the industrial development in China started earlier. The earliest modern industry in Shanxi was the founding of the matchmaking, machinery, ironmaking, electric lighting and machinery for the construction of the Zhengtai Railway at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but these industries were small in scale. From the twentieth century, Shanxi began its first large-scale industrial construction, have gradually established a dozen arsenal and its related industries. By the 1930s, more heavy industries and arms industries were developed. After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, Shanxi’s second large-scale industrialization was mainly to develop heavy industry in Shanxi, especially the coal industry. It is estimated that Shanxi’s coal reserves account for 30% of the country’s total, and high-quality anthracite and thermal coal account for a large proportion. The third industrialization movement in Shanxi began in the era of reform and opening up. However, the initial period of this movement was lagging behind the coastal provinces. By the 1990s, the development strategy of Shanxi Province had undergone tremendous changes. This strategy has already taken shape for the development of Shanxi Province and will have a huge and far-reaching impact on the future of Shanxi. It not only ensures the overall interests of Shanxi itself, but also conducive to the national economy
