At the end of the 19 th century and the beginning of the 20 th century,China set off an upsurge of building railways.The railway is an important infrastructure of a country.In 1906,Beijing-Hankou Railway was opened to traffic and the railway station was set up in Zhumadian.As the Zhumadian along the railway,it gradually developed into one of the important transportation hubs in Henan Province.The important influence of the railway on Zhumadian continues to this day.The construction of the Beijing-Hankou Railway firstly promoted the change of the traditional transportation mode of Zhumadian,and the railway transportation started from scratch and played an important role in transportation.Emerging railway transportation has brought about the emergence of modern roads.The new transportation system of Zhumadian,centered on railways and highways,has taken shape.With the construction of railways and highways,transportation has become an important infrastructure for the development of regional agricultural economy.The transformation of Zhumadian's transportation industry has contributed to the development of agricultural commercialization.Under the influence of convenient traffic conditions,the traditional natural smallholder economy of Zhumadian was further disintegrated,the agricultural structure changed significantly,the degree of commercialization of agricultural products increased,and the area for planting of economic crops expanded.During the period of the Republic of China,Zhumadian Township,which was part of the county of Queshan County,became an important distribution center for the export of goods to the Hankou region in the south of Henan Province.Its economic status once surpassed that of Queshan County.Railway construction also has certain influence on the development of urban industry and commerce.The superiority condition of railway transportation is the premise of the development of Zhumadian industry and commerce.The modern financial industry of Zhumadian has risen and developed along with it,and commercial trade has also expanded outward.With the promotion of the economic status of Zhumadian,the scale of its cities has expanded and the population has increased dramatically,which further promotes the construction of urban public facilities.The accessibility of the Beijing-Hankou Railway is a major factor in the development of Zhumadian City.It can be said that its development is based on railways.Looking at the development process of Zhumadian cities in modern times,the city is a low-level,low-level development.In the process of development,it is hampered by deep-rooted feudal ideology and frequent wars.Therefore,the development of cities in Zhumadian still has a lot of room for growth.In the future development,we should pay attention to giving full play to the status of railway transport hubs,developing advantageous industries,and building distinctive brands.
