Xiang Lake, a place with outstanding people and a long history, became famous earlier than West Lake. It is surrounded by water and mountains, with a river and a lake. It is famous for its beautiful scenery.

On Chengshan Mountain of the King of Yue, adjacent to Xiang Lake, the story of King Gou Jian of Yue lying down on firewood and tasting gall is a well-known story that has been passed down through the ages.

Adhering to the historical context, Xiaoshan people have formed a unique entrepreneurial culture and created the "Xiaoshan spirit" of "continuously competing and bravely setting the trend".

From the "reclamation spirit" of the year to the "four thousand spirit" of "going through thousands of mountains and rivers, enduring countless hardships, speaking thousands of words, and thinking of every possible way", "catch the first train and catch the first fish"

The "four-grab spirit" of "dare to compete with the stronger, dare to compete with the braver, dare to climb higher, dare to compete with the faster",

Although the Xiaoshan spirit has different forms of expression in different historical periods, it all has the essential connotation of "continuously competing and bravely setting the trend".

It is becoming a powerful driving force to promote the construction of a prosperous, harmonious, and modern Xiaoshan.
