With a population of 780,000, it ranks third in the province and has the highest density in Hebei.
Wei County has a long history and outstanding people. During the Zhou Dynasty, it was the fiefdom of Kang Shu, the younger brother of King Wu; in the early Spring and Autumn Period, it was the Wei Kingdom, and later the Jin Kingdom; during the Warring States Period, Su Qin decided that the six kingdoms would be in the Wei domain, and issued orders to the world, and all the princes in the world knew the name "Wei". In the twelfth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (195 BC), Wei County was established and Wei County was established. Later, it was established and abolished, subordinates were changed, and the divisions changed. In May 1961, Wei (county) was named (name). Combined and divided, the construction was restored to this day. Historically, Wei County has fertile soil, a large concentration of merchants, and is rich. It is also a strategic location for military strategists. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was known as "the hub of China. It was the Duwei's Mansion in the Han Dynasty and the capital of the Xu Kingdom in the Sui Dynasty." It is known as the "important town of the Three Wei Dynasties", "the throat of Jin and Qi", and "the Confucian road of Yan, Zhao, Wu and Chu". Its prominent historical position and rich historical accumulation have created a unique historical culture and famous historical figures. There are endless numbers of men of letters and people with lofty ideals. The two myths of "dragon descending to earth" and "tortoise carrying the city" are widely circulated and have endured for thousands of generations. In the former Qing Dynasty, Cui Shu (named Dongbi) served as the magistrate of Luoyuan and Shanghang counties. He was praised for his diligence in listening to decisions and his ability to resolve cases. He also specialized in archeology and counterfeiting. He wrote extensively and eventually became a famous scholar. His works spread to Japan. The impact is profound. There are also Gai Kuanrao, the upright and upright Sili school captain of the Western Han Dynasty who was one of the Three Officials and was better than Qu Yuan; Zhang Gongjin, the Duke of Tan in the prosperous Tang Dynasty who made many extraordinary achievements; Pan Mei, the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty; Pei Xiangzhai, the anti-Japanese national hero and commander of the Lunan detachment, etc. A large number of historical figures have written glorious chapters for the history of Wei County.
Wei County’s economy is dominated by agriculture. It is a nationally designated “grain and cotton production base county” and a superior pig breeding base county. Yali planting has a long history and is of high quality, making it a major characteristic industry of the county economy. In 1995, it was named the "Hometown of Chinese Yali".
Wei County’s two civilized constructions have achieved remarkable results vertically, but the gap has widened horizontally. In 1986, it was listed as a national-level poverty-stricken county. Several high-impact incidents and chronic public security problems have made it regarded as a troubled place by the outside world. In February 1999, the main leaders of the county party committee changed. The county party committee and the county government assessed the situation, self-motivated and put pressure on themselves. Based on creating an upward momentum, they took it as their own responsibility to reshape the image of Wei County and quickly change the appearance, establishing the "image The guiding ideology of "revitalizing the county and accelerating development" and carrying forward the spirit of "self-respect and self-reliance, daring to be the first, overcoming difficulties, and jumping to development" decided to use the two years at the turn of the century to implement the "Image Building Year" activities and focus on improving finances. The five major turnarounds include increasing income and farmers' poverty alleviation, social security, optimizing the economic environment, building civilized institutions and cadre work style, county construction and transportation construction to achieve great social stability, great economic development, great urban and rural construction, and great improvement of the image.
In order to uphold history, show future generations, unite people's hearts, and display image, the county party committee and county government decided to build a county logo that is beautiful in appearance, profound in connotation, distinctive in character, and embodies the style of a large county. It can be called a scene of Wei County. The theme is "Toward the Future". We solicited designs from the public and collected 132 proposals from various sources, including 11 well-known domestic design institutions such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University, and the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts. After multiple screenings, the design plan jointly launched by Shanghai East China Electrical Appliances Group Co., Ltd., Shanghai University Academy of Fine Arts and Hubei Institute of Fine Arts was adopted.
The base of the county logo is 25.88 meters high, the diameter of the square is 180 meters, and the diameter of the central beautification is 80 meters. The design style of the main logo is an abstract three-dimensional structure with four giant dragons. The leaping posture is like rising from the ground and soaring into the sky, or falling from the sky and spreading to the world. It fully demonstrates the spirit of unity, hard work and enterprising spirit of the four major teams of the county party committee, county people's congress, county government and county CPPCC. The shining golden sphere in the center not only symbolizes the fruits of harvest, but also is rich in cohesion and centripetal force.
The sphere also symbolizes the red sun, and the nine golden balls around it are integrated with each other, like the eight planets in the solar system, which means that Wei County has entered a new universe and entered the fast lane of rapid development. The base of the county logo is in the shape of an arched turtle back, which symbolizes that Wei County has entered a new universe and entered the fast lane of rapid development. It is called the "Turtle and Camel City"; the reliefs on the base are east and west, and two jade dragons in the west, united sincerely, holding the cornucopia with both hands, singing loudly and ready to fly in the sky. It means that the two civilizations in the hometown of the dragon complement each other and fly together. To the east are the children of Pear Township, working together to hold up the hope of tomorrow and heading towards a good harvest and prosperity. Luo Shang is light, the stars are brilliant, and the background of the universe fully demonstrates the bright future of our county's Yali industry. Under the theme of "Toward the Future", the main logo and reliefs are integrated and complement each other, using artistic language to express "unity" The psychological feeling of "working hard, forging ahead, taking off, and moving forward" embodies the spirit of the people of Wei County, under the leadership of the county party committee and county government, to step up to a big level, pursue great development, and create a future with confidence.
Wei County has a long history and outstanding people. In the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (195 BC), Wei County was established as Wei County. A large number of historical figures such as Gai Kuanrao, Zhang Gongjin, Cui Shu, and Pei Xiangzhai wrote glorious chapters in the history of Wei County. Yali is a traditional specialty industry in Wei County. It has been cultivated on a large scale as early as the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. Jia Sixie, a famous scientist in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, made a report on the cultivation situation of Yali in Wei County in his "Qi Min Yao Shu". Detailed description. Weixian Yali is well-known at home and abroad for its large size, thin skin, less core and small residue, moderate sweetness and sourness, and crispy and delicious taste. It is exported to more than a dozen countries and regions including Southeast Asia and Europe. In 1995 and 2001, it was twice named the "Hometown of Chinese Yali" by relevant national departments. The "Weizhou" brand Tianxian premium Yali developed and produced in recent years has clean fruit surface, no pollution and excellent quality, and has become a green food favored by consumers. In 2001, Wei County was designated as a high-quality pear production base county by the province. In 2004, the county's Yali planting area was 150,000 acres, with an annual output of 200 million kilograms, of which 20,000 acres had passed the provincial pollution-free certification. According to legend, in ancient times, the Jade Emperor sent Jiaoer Tianlong to descend to earth to observe the sentiments of the people. The ancient Yellow River flowed through Wei County at that time. Tianlong came to Boer Village in Wei County along the river and became a long-term worker, helping the world and helping the poor, punishing evil and promoting good, and supporting justice.
In a village near the river, there is a man named Du Lang who lives with his blind mother. Du Lang was born a decent man, harmonious with his neighbors, and was famous in the village for his filial piety to his mother. Du Lang went out early and came back late all day long, working hard in the fields, in exchange for a small amount of silver to buy medicine for his mother to treat his eyes. After hearing this, Tianlong decided to test it himself in order to explore the truth. One day, Du Lang came home from working in the fields. On the way, Tianlong turned into an old man and fell ill by the roadside. After Du Lang saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and carried Tianlong back home, prepared medicine, prepared medicine and fed him, taking care of him twice as much. Tianlong was deeply moved. One day, Tianlong called Du Lang to his side and asked him what he wanted. Du Lang said, I don't ask for anything, I just want a cure for my eyes. Tianlong immediately prescribed a dose of medicine for his mother and confessed: The medicine is easy to grasp, but the primer is hard to find. When Du Lang heard that it could cure his mother's eye disease, he hurriedly said, no matter what the medicine is, I will find it even if it means going up mountains of swords and seas of fire. Tianlong said that Yao Yinzi is human flesh. Du Lang said, this is easy to do. Why not cut off a piece of flesh from the mother's body so that her mother's eyes can see the light of day again soon? In this way, under Du Lang's careful care and treatment with Tianlong's prescription, Du Lang's mother's eyes quickly regained sight.
After Tianlong returned to heaven, he told the immortals what he had heard and seen in the human world. My sister Tiannv was moved by Du Lang's character and fell in love with him. She decided to go down to earth to meet Du Lang. But there are rules in heaven, and immortals are not allowed to come down to earth. The goddess begged her brother Tianlong for help again and again. Tianlong was moved by his sister's infatuation, so he managed to get his sister to descend to earth privately. Before going down to earth, he went to the Orchard to pick a bunch of pear branches for the goddess. He told me that there is a pear tree near Du Lang's village. You go down and graft the pear branch to the pear tree. After the fruit is produced, you can eat it and sell some silver to make a living. After the goddess descended to earth, she saw that Du Lang was a talented person, and her love became even stronger. She decided to marry Du Lang and let Du Lang graft the pear branches she brought to Du Lang's tree. After Du Lang's careful cultivation and passed down from generation to generation, it evolved into today's Yali. The couple farmed and weaved while the husband and wife had children and lived happily together. After the Jade Emperor learned about it, he launched a thunderous attack and sent heavenly soldiers and generals to capture the goddess back to the heavenly palace. However, the pear tree cultivated by the pear branches brought down by the goddess remained in the human world. After returning to the palace, the goddess kept missing Du Lang and her children, and became increasingly haggard. The Jade Emperor had no choice but to agree to the goddess coming down to earth to meet Du Lang every year when the pear blossoms were in full bloom. In order to thank the goddess for bringing pears to Wei County, later generations built a temple under the largest pear tree in each pear orchard to worship the "Pear Blossom Fairy" (i.e. the goddess). At the same time, when the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, every household puts the largest and most fragrant pears on the sacrificial table to express gratitude to God. ——Shengui Tuocheng
In ancient times, the ancient Yellow River flowed through Wei County. In this beautiful and fertile place, the weather is smooth, the crops are abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Unexpectedly, the beautiful and rich scene attracted the turtle spirit who had been cultivating for thousands of years. After the turtle spirit led the shrimp soldiers and turtle generals to occupy Wei County, they ate the young boys and girls, endangering the people. There was also a severe drought for three years, which caused no crops to be harvested. The people prayed all day long, which shocked heaven. The Jade Emperor sent his most beloved son, Tianlong, down to Bailongtan in Bo'er Village, Wei County, to capture the Turtle Spirit. The Turtle Spirit took revenge on the people and used magic to flood Wei County. When Tianlong heard the news, he ordered his ninth brother, the Turtle, to Descending to earth to help out, the divine turtle got under Wei County's walls and carried the county seat on its back. As a result, the water rose and the city rose, saving the people in the city until the turtle spirit used up its magic and was captured by Tianlong and brought back to heaven.
Since then, Wei County has returned to its original prosperity of good weather and abundant harvests. To this day, there is still a folk song circulating in Wei County: "There are two cities in Wei County from Beijing to Nanjing. Whenever there is a flood, the water rises and the city walls rise."
Thousands of years later, it is said that due to the protection and blessings of the heavenly dragon and the divine turtle, Wei County was rich in treasures, outstanding people, and celebrities, such as Gai Kuanrao, the captain of Sili School in the Western Han Dynasty, and Pan Mei, the famous founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty. , Tang Yan Duke Zhang Gongjin and so on. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, there were more people serving as officials in the court, and they were known as the "Wei Ban Dynasty", which meant that half of the officials in the court were from Wei County. A talented man from the south failed in many tests and failed to become an official. He was jealous and angry, so he asked the Feng Shui master to go to the north to see what happened. When the Feng Shui masters saw that the treasure land of Wei County where the Divine Turtle was carrying the city was competing for their Feng Shui and blocking their official career, they secretly sabotaged it and tried to destroy it with evil intentions. On the pretext of protecting Wei County from floods, he lobbied the county magistrate Yang Qi to drill four large wells in the four corners of the city, and these four large wells happened to be nailed to the four claws of the turtle. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there was a flood in the Zhang River. Because the turtle was trapped and unable to move its four claws, it could not carry the city, causing Wei County to be flooded. Wei County was abandoned and merged into Daiming. The organization was restored in June 1940. But this beautiful and magical legend has been passed down to this day. Introduction to Jinan cattle:

Weixian Yali introduction:
Weixian Yali began to be cultivated as early as the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. Mao Tianqi, a county magistrate in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "The long wind rustles the pear leaves, and the autumn light fills the original port." Suitable water and soil conditions and advanced cultivation techniques have created the excellent quality of Weixian Yali. The fruit is regular in shape, large in size, thin in skin, juicy and fine in flesh, with less dregs and small core, moderately sweet and sour, crispy and delicious, and has the effects of quenching thirst, moisturizing the lungs and nourishing the skin. Wei County's Yali, which is well-known both at home and abroad, was used as a tribute to dignitaries in the Qing Dynasty. In 1985, at the Hebei Province Fruit Quality Appraisal Conference, Weixian Yali won the first place in the Yali series. In 1995, Wei County was named the "Hometown of Chinese Yali" by the Ministry of Agriculture. Currently, 150,000 acres of Yali are planted in the county, with an annual output of 83,000 tons.
