这是一方拥有悠久历史文化的千年古地;是一个基础产业雄厚的现代化城区;是一座宜居宜业宜游的北方福地。大家好,这就是我的家乡河北省邯郸市永年区,我是永年区委书记侯有民,非常荣幸今天能带大家一起走进大美永年。
 
【千年古城地 城美录沧桑】
 
       说到永年,必谈广府。广府古城,西依太行山脉,自古便是兵家必争之地。这座中国历史文化名城,记载于春秋,形成于隋唐,繁荣于明清,距今已有2600多年历史。当您走进广府古城,顺城墙马道拾级而上,就会亲见城墙内侧青砖剥离,背景沧桑;气势雄伟的角楼飞檐翘角于城角之上,峭拔逍遥;迈步在宽阔平整的城墙大道,您就会发现垛口、水道、护栏一应俱全,重重机关充满着智慧和韬略。极目眺望,140米宽的护城河绕城而转,视野开阔能容得下千军万马,风从城门楼吹过发出声响,像号角吹起、战鼓擂响。
 
【太极拳声响 荷芦阵阵香】
 
       说到永年,必谈太极。这里是杨、武式太极拳中兴发祥地,是中国太极拳之乡、世界太极拳圣地。200年前,太极宗师杨露禅先后三次南下河南陈家沟,拜陈长兴为师,苦心研习“绵拳”,创立了杨式太极。它轻灵不浮,沉稳不僵,绵里藏针,柔中寓刚,深得世人喜爱。目前,全球有3亿人喜爱并追崇着这一强身健体、修身养性的时尚运动,其中杨式太极习练者占全球太极习练者的85%。“手捧太极震寰宇,身怀绝技压群英”,清朝大学士翁同龢书写的对联,也彰显了太极的独特魅力。2006年,杨式太极和武式太极,已被列入首批国家非物质文化遗产名录。从广府古城墙上俯瞰,瓮城中、城墙上、荷花池边,芦苇丛中、居民小院内,处处都有拳友们习练太极的身影,一招一式都饱含着动静结合、刚柔相济、阴阳和谐的哲学道理,处处传递着“立定脚跟树起脊,拓开眼界放平心”的处世之道,也在黑白写意间,展现出国人对于天空与大地的悠悠情思。
 
【基础产业丰 紧固件制造强】
 
       说到永年,必提中国紧固件之都。我们全区17个乡镇,有34万人从事紧固件生产和销售工作,其产销量占全国市场份额45%,“三十万人搞生产,十万大军出永年,千辆大车搞物流,家家户户出老板”。我们不仅有中国最大的紧固件生产基地和集散中心,有中国最大的紧固件专业销售市场,还有覆盖面最广的紧固件物流中心,线路辐射全国31个省市自治区;紧固件外销网点更是多达2万多家,覆盖中国所有县市。岁月不居,天道酬勤!今天的永年将会承借“一带一路”、“京津冀协同发展”发展的东风,凭借地处晋冀鲁豫四省交界经济发展核心区域位置,继续昂首努力,奋发作为,建设更加美好的明天。我代表百万洺州(永年)儿女,以最大的热情向您发出邀请,让我们共筑高质量发展之路,共同描绘精彩永年壮美画卷!
 

       This is a millennium ancient place with profound history and culture.A modernized urban area with strong basic industries. The northern region of well-being suitable for living, business and travel. Hello, everyone. This is my hometown, Yongnian District of Handan in Hebei Province.I am the Party Secretary of Yongnian District, Hou Youmin. I am super honored to introduce you this beautiful Yongnian.
 
       Speaking of Yongnian, we must mention Guangfu. Guangfu old city relies on Taihang Mountains from the west. Since ancient times, it has been the contested place.This is a famous, historical and cultural city. Guangfu old city went on the historical record in the Spring and Autumn Period,took shape in Sui and Tang Dynasty and prospered in Ming and Qing Dynasty. It has more than 2600 years of history. When you walk into Guangfu old city, and walk along the ramp near Shun city wall ascending step by step. You will see that some of the black bricks have fell out and the reflections of the rise and fall of the city.The magnificent overhanging eaves on the corner of city wall. Steeping and unfettering. Walking on the wide and flat street by the city wall, you will find crenels, water channels, guard bars and every facility you need in a city. Layers of mechanisms are full of wisdom and strategies. Overlooking as far as you can, a 140 meters wide moat surrounding the city. The city view is broad as if the city can be filled with a large number of troops. The wind blowing from the city gate tower sounds like the horns and drums on the battlefield.
 
       Speaking of Yongnian, Tai Chi should be mentioned. Yongnian is the cradle of Yang style and Wu Style shadowboxing, the land of Chinese shadowboxing and the heaven of shadowboxing in the world. 200 years ago, Tai Chi Master Yang Luchan successively went south to Chenjiagou in Henan Province for three times. He became the apprentice of Chen Changxing, studied and explored soft boxing. He created Yang style Tai Chi. It is agile, but not unstable, Steady but not rigid Gentle but powerful Soft but with strength. It is favorable among many people. At the current, about 0.3 billion people love and practice this healthy,  recreational and fashionable sport. The number of exercisers of Yang style Tai Chi accounts for 85% of all exercisers of Tai Chi in the world. Tai Chi amazes the world. Tai Chi is incomparable. The couplets written by the Grand Secretary Weng Tonghe manifest the uniqueness of Tai Chi. In 2006, Yang style Tai Chi and Wu style Tai Chi have went on the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Overlooking from the Guangfu old city wall. In the small town outside the city wall. On the city wall. Near the lotus pond. In the reeds. In the little residential courtyard. You will find people who practice Tai Chi here and there. Each gesture and motion contains a combination of dynamic and static movements, vigor and suppleness and the philosophy, harmony of Yin and Yang. Every gesture conveys the idea of standing firmly with pride,widening the vision and keeping a sense of balance,this philosophy of life.In between the “black and white” philosophy, Tai Chi shows the affection of Chinese people to the sky and earth.
 
       Speaking of Yongnian, we must mention this capital of fasteners in China. Our whole district has 17 towns. There are 340 thousand people who are working for the fastener production and marketing. The sales volume of fasteners accounts for 45% of the entire China’s market. 30 thousand people work in production; 100 thousand people in the troop came from Yongnian; Thousands of trucks are for logistics; Each family generates a boss. We not only has the largest fastener production base and distribution center in China, but also has the largest professional fastener market. There is also the fastener logistics center with the largest coverage. The logistics center connects 31 provinces, cities and autonomous regions. The fastener export outlets have reached over 20 thousand of them, covering all the counties in China. Time and tide wait for no man. God rewards the diligent! Today’s Yongnian will take the chance of “the Belt and the Road” initiation and the cooperative development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei regions. Relying on its crucial location in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region, we should keep high-spirited, diligent and make a difference to build a brighter future. On behalf of millions of Yongnian people, we send out our warmest invitations to you. Let’s build a way to high-quality development and illustrate a splendid and magnificent painting of Yongnian!
