“我自爱桐乡，人人爱桐乡”

桐乡，一座因遍地梧桐树而得名的城市，素有着“鱼米之乡、丝绸之府、百花地面、文化之邦”的美誉。

地处浙江嘉兴，桐乡自古人文荟萃，在众多的江南水乡中，它别具一格。

桐乡风雅。它在茅盾笔下是“可爱的故乡”，在丰子恺画里是“红了樱桃，绿了芭蕉的缘缘堂”。

桐乡又充满活力。它是世界互联网大会永久举办地，也是数字经济发展的一方热土。

深厚的文化底蕴和蓬勃的现代化发展相互交织，让每一个到过这里的人都不由地告白：“我自爱桐乡，人人爱桐乡”。

5月27日，中国日报推出《桐乡八联版》，充分运用视觉语言，以精美的设计和详实的文字报道向世界展示桐乡底蕴深厚的人文精神和雄厚的科技力量。

Cultural halls in Tongxiang standing in the rural fields not only bear the memories of local history, but also serve as "spiritual homes" for villagers, providing a place for rest and emotional solace through various cultural activities. 遍布于桐乡农村的文化礼堂不仅承载着历史记忆，还成为村民的“精神家园”，通过各种各样的文化活动为村民们打造一个精神栖息地。

充分利用文化资源赋能，让非遗焕发新生。在桐乡，非遗工作并没有停留在收藏和展示其“物”的状态，各种“活化”形式也走进了群众生活。1家非遗综合性馆、6家专题性分馆引入各类丰富活态展示、展演，建立起多个亲民、近民、为民的传统文化传承实践空间。“我们的节日”系列民俗活动，受益群众达150余万人次；建成各级各类传承基地35个，培养传承人群2万余人次……“见人、见物、见生活”的非遗保护理念得到充分实践。

截至目前，桐乡共拥有人类非遗项目1项（桐乡蚕桑习俗）、国家级3项（含山轧蚕花、高杆船技、蓝印花布印染技艺）、省级22项、嘉兴市级82项、县级146项，国家级传承人2人、省级21人、嘉兴市级89人、县级168人。

"Our goal is to make tourism more exquisite in experience, more refined in facilities, more beautiful in scenery, more attentive in service and more meticulous in operation. In this process, we must focus on cultural heritage and improve the living environment, allowing the city to retain its memory and people to remember their hometown," Gu said. 推动桐乡旅游业‘体验更精致、设施更精良、景观更精美、服务更精心、运营更精细’是我们当下的奋斗目标，在这个过程中，我们要注重文明传承和人居环境改善，让城市留下记忆、让人们记住乡愁。

活力桐乡

八联版B面围绕“数字桐乡”，从世界互联网大会会址到凤凰湖畔的城市地标，从交通枢纽建设到现代工业发展，以“互联网蓝”为主色调展现桐乡的创新与活力。

2014年，首届世界互联网大会乌镇峰会的举办让桐乡享誉世界，同时也为这座城市插上了数字经济腾飞的翅膀。

Official datashowed, between 2014-23, the number of digital economy businesses in Tongxiang increased from 355 to 3,694. Meanwhile, the total output value of key industries in the digital economy sector grew from 5.1 billion yuan ($706.38 million) to 29.39 billion yuan. 2014年到2023年，桐乡数字经济企业数量从355家增加到3694家，规上数字经济核心产业总量从51亿元增长到293.9亿元。

面对数字经济的快速发展，桐乡积极拥抱新风口，在数据要素领域先行先试。去年9月开始，桐乡市大力推进乌镇数据要素产业园建设。随后，通过发布《乌镇数据要素产业园发展规划》，打造全球领先的数据要素产业集聚区。

At a recent Wuzhen data-related industry matchmaking event,a total of five projects were signed with a planned investment topping 2 billion yuan. These projects aim to promote data circulation transactions, improve the interconnected system of data transaction chains and build a data-commerce ecosystem across the Yangtze River Delta region. 在日前举行的2024乌镇数据要素产业对接会上，共有5个项目签约落地，计划总投资超过20亿元。这些项目将有力推动数据流通交易，完善数据交易链的互联互通体系，构建辐射长三角的数商生态体系。

"Currently, data elements are profoundly changing the development model and competitive landscape of traditional industries. Tongxiang will seize the opportunity with a more acute vision, amplify advantages and further explore the value of data elements," said Wang Jian, mayor of Tongxiang. 桐乡市市长王坚表示，当前，数据要素正深刻改变着传统产业的发展模式和竞争格局。桐乡将以更加敏锐的眼光抓住风口、放大优势，进一步挖掘数据要素价值。

数字经济的飞速发展也见证着这座工业强市从“三丝一纺”到“三智一网”的蜕变。

Renowned for its silk, synthetic fibers and fiberglass production, Tongxiang has nurtured a range of industries with distinctive regional characteristics. They include Puyuan woolen sweaters, Chongfu furs and Zhouquan silk quilts. These industries are the foundation of the city’s high-quality development. 曾以蚕丝、化纤丝、玻纤丝起家，桐乡用“三根丝”孕育出了濮院毛衫、崇福皮草、洲泉蚕丝被等一批具有鲜明地域特色产业，稳住了高质量发展的底盘。

近年来，立足“1+3+1+X”产业发展格局，瞄准前沿材料、智能汽车、智能计算等特色产业链，桐乡顺应新质生产力发展要求，深入实施产业链提升工程，通过延链、强链、补链，释放更多动能。

Led by electric vehicle maker Hozon Auto, Tongxiang has built an intelligent automotive industry ecosystem. It encompasses complete vehicle production from batteries, motors and electronic controls to intelligent driving software and hardware. 以哪吒汽车为龙头，桐乡构建起了从电池、电机、电控，到智能驾驶软硬件，至整车生产全产业链覆盖的智能汽车产业生态集群。

The city has become a hub for new material production, producing 25 percent of global fiberglass materials and 31 percent of China’s synthetic fiber materials. In 2023, the output value of Tongxiang’s new material industry reached 108.1 billion yuan. 这几年，桐乡大力发展以新材料为主导产业的先进制造业，“承包”了全球25%的玻纤新材料和全国31%的化纤新材料。2023年，桐乡新材料产业工业总产值规模达1081亿元。

In 2020, Tongxiang became the ninth county-level city in Zhejiang to achieve a GDP exceeding 100 billion yuan. By 2023, Tongxiang secured the 20th position on the list of China’s top 100 counties. 2020年，桐乡成为浙江第9个千亿县级市，2023年，桐乡荣登全国百强县榜单第20位。

“上有天堂，下有苏杭，苏杭中央是桐乡。 ” 近年来，桐乡紧紧围绕建设长三角核心区新兴综合交通枢纽和杭州都市区东北门户枢纽两大发展定位，以完善城市综合交通体系、强化市域骨干交通网络为重点，构建市域快速路网体系，优化高品质城市交通。 同时，着力推进区域重大交通基础设施建设，加快融入长三角、大湾区、都市区一体化发展总格局。

当前，桐乡正加快完成苏台高速公路南浔至桐乡段及桐乡至德清联络（二期）（简称，苏台高速公路（二期））建设工作。

作为贯彻落实长三角一体化发展国家战略的重大项目，苏台高速公路（二期）是“长三角经济圈”由浙江通往江苏的六条大通道之一。

For Tongxiang, it is a crucial move to connect itself to Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. The expressway is expected to aid access to the industries of Suzhou and Hangzhou and the development dividend of the Yangtze River Delta. 对桐乡而言，它是桐乡接沪融杭连苏的重要通道，对承接苏杭经济、快速融入长三角一体化发展具有积极作用。

Total investment has reached 18 billion yuan while the investment from Tongxiang government exceeds 10 billion yuan, making it the first county-level highway project in China with more than 10 billion yuan invested. Construction began in October 2022 and it is expected to be completed by the end of October 2025. 苏台高速公路（二期）项目总投资180.11亿元，是全国第一个县级自主投资的超百亿高速公路项目。于2022年10月全面开建，预计2025年10月底建成通车。

"We started planning this project more than 10 years ago. However, due to design, investment and other reasons, we couldn’t start construction. Finally, we decided to fund the road by ourselves," said Xia Genwei, head of the Tongxiang transportation bureau. With Tongxiang’s GDP exceeding 100 billion yuan for three consecutive years, completing this road earlier offers greater opportunities. “我们在10多年前就在规划这个项目，可后来由于设计、投资等原因一直无法开工，最后我们决定自己出钱修路。”桐乡市交通运输局局长夏根伟说，时间既是效率，也是效益。桐乡的地区生产总值连续三年突破千亿元大关，早一点修好这条路，意味着桐乡会赢得更大的发展机遇。

长三角一体化发展、上海大都市圈建设、世界互联网大会等“家门口”的机遇交汇叠加。桐乡，未来可期。
