Technological innovation will continue to increase added value, enhance competitiveness, and promote the transformation of Yongkang's "small hardware" into "big hardware". Editor’s postscript: The rise of Yongkang is inseparable from thousands of years of hardware cultural heritage. After archaeological research, it was discovered that the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, came to Yongkang Shicheng Mountain to smelt copper and cast tripods five thousand years ago. Qianlong's "Qin Ding Si Ku Quanshu" collects "Ding Lu" written by Chen Yuli of the Southern Dynasty. This authoritative work on tripods records the saying that "Yellow Emperor cast tripods" that has been spread in Yongkang since ancient times. The Yellow Emperor cast tripods, the Spring and Autumn Period cast swords, the Han Dynasty made crossbow machines, the Song Dynasty mined copper mines, and the Qing Dynasty made gun barrels. Local scholars believe that "Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of hardware, and Yongkang is the source of hardware." Furthermore, Chen Liang, a famous scholar, the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty and a native of Yongkang, created the "Yongkang School" and advocated the theory of "doing both justice and benefit" in meritorious service. In his debate with the famous scholar Zhu Xi, he formed the utilitarian Confucian culture. Chen Liang’s thoughts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Yongkang. "Hardware craftsmen travel everywhere, and every county is close to Kang", which is a true portrayal of the ancient Yongkang craftsmen who traveled far and wide to make a living. It was the hard-working and brave working people of Yongkang in ancient times who created the "hometown of hundreds of workers". Today, hardware craftsmen who stride everywhere have become the leaders in the rise of Yongkang and the vanguard of the market economy. Modern Yongkang people adhere to the pioneering and innovative spirit of their predecessors, take advantage of the tide of reform and opening up, and especially seize the opportunity to develop the socialist market economy. They are like a fish in the sea of ??market economy and ride on the momentum.
