| Morden China is a period of social transformation and changes have taken place Inall aspects of soclety.The change of llghting mode is an indispensable part,which has had a significant impact on the urban development,production mode and lifestyle of Shenyang.This paper takes Shenyang electric light industry as the research object,andthe research time is defined as before the September 18th Incident.From the perspective of history,this paper makes an in-depth study on the rise and development of Shenyang electric lamp industry,explores the problems existing in the development of electric lamp industry and the significance of electric lamp application to industrial and commercial development,urban construction and social life,and reflects the changes of Shenyang city before the September 18thIncident.The paper is divided into three parts,the special content are as follows:The first part mainly describes the rise of Shenyang electric lamp industry before the September 18thIncident.The connection between modern China and the world has become increasingly close.Western advanced lighting technology has been introduced into China one by one,and then spreadin major cities.Compared with kerosene lamp and gas lamp,electric lamp has many advantages,such as safety,cleanness,trouble saving,brightness and so on.In 1908,Japan’s Manchurian Railway set up the West Tower temporary power transmission station to supply power to enterprises and residents affiliated to the railway,so as to improve lighting conditions and improve thequality of life.At the same time,Shenyang local government set up its own electric lamp factory tocompete for economic rights,but also to meet the needs of modern industrial and commercialdevelopment and social production and life.Under the circumstances,Shenyang electric lampindustry came into being.The second part describes the development of Shenyang electric lamp industry before the September 18thIncident.It mainly includes the developtment and expansion of electric lamp factory,the application and promotion of electric lamp in important fields and the operation and management of electric lamp industry.The development of Shenyang electric lamp industry is first of all inseparable from the improvement of the powersupply capacity of the electric lamp factory.With the strong support of the government,Fengtian electric lampfactory has continuously updated machinery and equipment,expanded its site,increased its consumption andincreased its operating income.Government agencies,public buildings,main streets,schools,rest andentertainment places and industrial and commercial fields have installed electric lamps one by one,which has promoted the development of the electric lamp industry.The government has continuously improved various rules and regulations,and has carried outnecessary norms for employee recruitment and training,wire installation,renting lamps,metersand lamps,electricity theft and arrears,deduction of electricity charges etc.Due to lack ofmanagement experience,there are many problems in operation and management.For example,there is a lack of maintenance mechanism,the equipment often runs with faults,the clock is returned after street lamp maintenance,and there are often lights without light.The problemof stealing electricity and arrearage does not affect the income of the lamp factory,but also affects the normal power supply and consumption.Safety accidents did not cause casualties,but also caused frequent power outages.The third part mainly describes the evaluation of Shenyang electric lamp industry before the September 18thIncident.The national electric lamp industry has a weak industrial foundation,lacks capital,fuel and technology,and is heavily dependent on foreign capitalism.Shenyang electric lamp enterprises do not have the ability to produce bulbs,wires and meters,and most ofthe electric material equipment comes from abroad.Since the rise of Shenyang electric lampindustry,there has been fierce competition between Chinese and Japanese electric lamp enterprises.The two sides have occasional cooperation and constant conflict.The national electric lampindustry has been at a disadvantage in the competition,and Shenyang electric lamp industry hasdeveloped in twists and turns.At the same time,due to the limited power supply capacity and the price of electricity is high,and the traditional lighting mode still exists for a long time.Electric lamps compete with kerosene lamps,gaslight lamps etc and coexist for a long time.Electric light plays an increasingly important role in social production and life,and has becomean indispensable part of people’s daily life.The application of electric lights has opened a new era of urban development in Shenyang and has had a profound impact on education,leisureand entertainment,urban lighting engineering,industry and Commerce and other fields. |
