China's steel structure industry traces its origins to the Jiangnan Shipyard, established in 1865, which is widely regarded as "the birthplace of modern national industry in China." It was here that not only China's first modern enterprise was founded, but also the country's very first group of formal industrial workers and its very first motorized warship were born. 
The first pound of smokeless powder, the first industrial cannon—and even the first furnace of steel.

After the founding of New China, the development of steel structures roughly went through four distinct phases: the "initial boom phase" from the 1950s to the 1960s, the "turbulent trough phase" from the mid-to-late 1960s to the 1970s, the "growth phase" spanning the 1980s and 1990s, and the "strong resurgence phase" from 1996 to the present day.

China's steel structure industry has gone through a development journey, evolving from resource-efficient practices to widespread promotion. Since entering the 21st century, with the rapid increase in China's steel production, the country has actively begun advocating for the use of steel structures. Promoting steel structures not only plays a crucial role in building an ecological civilization and advancing green development, but also 
It plays a positive role in supply-side structural reforms and promoting industrial transformation. Data shows that from 2016 to 2020, the nation's steel production increased from 807.6 million tons to 1.065 billion tons; meanwhile, the volume of steel used in construction steel structures has been steadily rising year by year, growing from 55.85 million tons in 2016 to [the end of the sentence is incomplete in the original text]. 
89 million tons. The China Business Industry Research Institute predicts that China's steel consumption for architectural steel structures will reach 104.45 million tons in 2022.

Looking ahead, Zhongji hopes to accelerate China's infrastructure development with its expertise in steel structures, contributing modestly yet meaningfully to the nation's economic takeoff!
