河南土盐生产历史沿革

History of Local Salt Production in Henan Province

河南省北部位于黄河中下游地区,历史上由于黄河水多次泛滥成灾,造成豫北地区三四十个县大面积土地盐碱化。当地百姓为了维持生计,不惜成本进行土盐生产,与政府反对土盐生产形成鲜明对立。这种现象时间跨度达上千年之久。新中国成立后,在政府的引导下,投入大量资金,积极采取措施,改良盐碱地,土盐产区的农民生活水平逐步提高,土盐渐渐淡出人们的视野。

The northern part of Henan province is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. In history, the Yellow River has flooded many times, resulting in large area salinization of 30 or 40 counties in the northern part of Henan province. In order to maintain their livelihood, local people do not hesitate to produce soil salt at all costs, which is in sharp opposition to the government’s opposition to the production of soil salt. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, under the guidance of the government, a large amount of funds were invested to take active measures to improve the saline and alkaline land, and the living standards of farmers in the soil salt producing areas were gradually improved, and soil salt gradually faded out of people’s vision.
