“莲”向世界丨千年湘莲誉古今 莲子产业“圈”黄金
“Lotus” City Connected with the World: Renowned for Thousands of Years, the Xiang Lotus Harvests Gold in the Modern Market
在中国的诗画长卷中，莲花不仅代表着圣洁与高雅，更是清廉与智慧的化身。湘潭又名“莲城”，是一方被莲香浸润的土地，早在西汉时期便与莲结下了不解之缘。
In China’s rich poetic and artistic tradition, the lotus flower symbolizes not only purity and elegance but also integrity and wisdom. Xiangtan is aptly named the Lotus City, as this land has long been steeped in the “fragrance” of lotus flowers, with a profound connection to the lotus dating back to the Western Han Dynasty.
“寸三莲”，既让湘莲声名远播，也让湘潭县拥有了“莲乡”的美称。近年来，湘潭县立足资源优势，不断做大做强绿色湘莲产业，产值达150亿元。
“Cun San Lian”has elevated the reputation of Hunan lotus seeds and earned Xiangtan County the name “Lotus Town.” In recent years, Xiangtan County has capitalized on its resource advantages to significantly expand and strengthen its green lotus seeds industry, achieving a production value of 15 billion yuan.
我们所处的花石镇拥有全国最大规模的湘莲集散中心，年湘莲出口规模全国第一，全产业链产值达50亿元。
Huashi Town, where we are located, hosts the largest Hunan lotus seeds distribution center in the country and leads the nation in annual exports. The total value of the entire industry chain reaches 5 billion yuan.
让产业集聚、优势叠加，当前湘潭县正在全力推动湘莲产业园建设，实现特色产业握指成拳。园区建成后可实现产能和税收翻番，带动周边群众就业3000人以上。
By consolidating the industry and amplifying its strengths, Xiangtan County is vigorously advancing the construction of the Xiang Lotus Industrial Park. Once completed, the park is expected to double production capacity and tax revenue while creating over 3,000 jobs for the local community.
湘潭湘莲协会会长胡运庚：湘莲产业园建成后，将进一步完善湘莲产业链条，吸引上下游企业的入驻，形成湘莲产业集聚效应，争取把湘莲产业发展成为千亿产业。
Upon completion, the Xiang Lotus Industry Park will further enhance the Xiang Lotus value chain by attracting upstream and downstream enterprises, fostering a strong industrial cluster. The aim is to elevate the Xiang Lotus industry into a trillion-yuan sector.
从古代文人的诗词歌赋到现代产业的蓬勃发展，莲早已融入湘潭的血脉，成为连接过去与未来的桥梁。我们相信，湘莲产业园定能为湘莲发展融入更多的时代活力，续写着莲花与城市的不解情缘。
From the poetry and prose of ancient scholars to the vibrant development of modern industries, the lotus has long been woven into the fabric of Xiangtan, serving as a bridge between the past and the future. We believe that the Xiang Lotus Industrial Park will infuse the lotus seeds industry with renewed vitality, continuing the enduring bond between the lotus and the city.
