On The Improvement Movement Of Sichuan’s Local Products

The campaign for the improvement of sichuan’s native products was an economic self-help campaign carried out by Liu Xiang after he basically ended the warlord infighting in sichuan province.After liu xiang was in charge of the sichuan government,he came to the conclusion that all the industries in sichuan province were ruined based on his cognition of the current economic situation of sichuan province.People of insight from all walks of life in sichuan believed that the decline of this industry was closely related to the "lack of political enlightenment,too many troops,too much tax" and the imperialist invasion of sichuan since the Republic of China.The restoration of man-made disasters caused by industrial decline pushed liu xiang and other sichuan politicians,determined to carry out local improvement.In addition to the positive reasons,The improvement movement of native products in sichuan province still has the reactionary consideration of taking the opportunity to provide guarantee for "suppressing the communist party".In March 1934,under the proposal of liu xiang and other sichuan dignitaries,improvement committee of sichuan post-disaster supervision office was established with the purpose of "improving soil and goods,promoting production,cultivating people’s livelihood and abundant resources".Subsequently,all counties and cities set up sub-committees.After the beginning of the campaign for the improvement of local products in sichuan,people from all walks of life in sichuan actively participated in it.After the establishment of the local product improvement committee,the "sichuan post-disaster supervision office local product improvement committee monthly" was founded as the organ of the local product improvement campaign.According to the "monthly",the sichuan provincial land production improvement committee conducted a comprehensive "survey" on the production and construction undertakings in sichuan according to the ideas of liu xiang,gao yongxiu and others,and had a clearer understanding of the situation of various industries in sichuan.On the basis of summing up the "investigation" conclusion,the sichuan central personage and the sichuan governor put forward many insights for the improvement of various industries.Under the guidance of the land production committee and the leadership of the sub-committee,the cities and counties have carried out both investigation and practice,and achieved certain results in promoting the improvement of land production.In January 1935,after the sixth "sichuan post-disaster supervision office local product improvement committee monthly" was published,the local production improvementmovement led by liu xiang suddenly stopped.It is necessary to pay attention to the condition of sichuan province at that time,liu xiang’s personal psychology and the shortcomings of the movement.From the perspective of "monthly",we can not only review the rise and practice process of the campaign of soil production improvement in sichuan,but also explore liu xiang’s efforts to break the system of defense area behind the improvement of soil production.
