贵州地处西南一隅，全省境内山脉纵横，交通极不便利，加上旧贵州历代统治者根本不重视经济的发展，时至抗日战争前夕，贵州几乎没有现代意义上的工业，农业还基本停滞在刀耕火种的原始状态，因而，也就谈不上有什么科学技术。正如《贵州财经资料汇编》（1950年版）上记述的那 Guizhou is located in a corner of the southwest. The mountains in the whole province have vertical and horizontal mountains with extremely inconvenient traffic. In addition, the rulers of the old Guizhou did not attach importance to economic development at all. Until the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, Guizhou had almost no modern industry and agriculture basically stagnated In the original state of slash and burn, therefore, there is no science and technology.
