孝义素以三晋之宝地，秦晋之要会，吕梁之窗口而闻名于世。她有着悠久的历史，早在七八千年前的新石器时代，就有人类在孝河流域繁衍。公元前594年，始置瓜衍县。三国曹魏置中阳县。北魏太和十七年改置永安县。唐贞观元年，因邑人郑兴“孝行闻于朝”，唐太宗李世民赐永安县为孝义县。孝义历经千年沧桑，以她独特的奋斗精神谱写了许多波澜壮阔的篇章，创造了令世人瞩目的辉煌成就。抗战初期，毛泽东，周恩来，邓小平等老一辈无产阶级革命家曾在这里战斗，培养了无数革命英烈。孝义民风纯朴，人文精神独特，自然资源丰富，区位优势明显。1992年，经国务院批准撤县设市，以此为标志孝义跨入了新的历史发展时期。中央和省地领导对孝义的发展极为关注。江泽民总书记曾来过孝义视察，给予特别的关怀。历届省地领导也多次来孝义指导工作，给孝义人民以极大的鼓舞，九十年代以来，孝义经济社会发展的车轮驶上了快车道。

　　往事去如歌，未来正辉煌。随着国家加快发展中西部地区战略的实施，孝义市委，市政府以江泽民总书记“三个代表”的重要思想为指针，继续弘扬“顾全大局，勇于奉献，艰苦奋斗，争创一流”的孝午精神。抢抓机遇，奋发图强，把经济结构调整作为经济建设的重中之重，着力延伸煤焦化，煤电铝两大产业产品链条，组建煤电，焦化，铝工业三大企业集团，建设机焦，煤化工，耐火材料和农副产品加工四大生产基地，重点发展机焦，煤化工，塑料化工，煤气综合利用，高铝质耐材，建筑建材，农业特色种养加工，商贸物流专业批发市场，皮影和木偶等传统独特文化产品等十大行业。努力把孝义建设成经济实力强大，城市功能齐全，基础设施发达，社会事业繁荣，开放文明富强，人民安居乐业的区域性中心城市。

　　With the rolling waves of the open and reform, a new city-Xiaoyi, has come into being on the bank of Fenhe River in this ancient land of shanxi. She presents her graceful bearing to the world as if she were a flaming star in the shy.

　　Xiaoyi has been known to the world as the treasure land in the Shanxi Province. She has a very long history. The land in 594 B.C. During the Three Kingdoms (220-280 A.D), Zhongyang county was set up by Cao Kingdom and later Wei Kingdom and replaced as Yonghe Country by Taihe 17th year in Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534 A.D.). The first year of the era of Zhen Guan (627-650 A.D.),the filial deeds of a country man called Zhen Xin was reported to Li Shi Ming, the emperor of Tang Dynasty, and the emperor granted the county another name Xiaoyi for respect of Zhen Xin, the name of which has remained up to now. Xiaoyi experienced a long hard history and made grand achievements by her special spirit of hard work. Xiaoyi characterizes by her simple human customs, special social culture, abundant natural recourses and convenient location. In the early Anti-Japanese War, the old generation of the proletarian revolutionaries such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and so on once fought here and brought up countless heroes. The State council of China granted city instead of the county in 1992, which marked the city to have stepped into a new development period. The officials from different levels gave much attention to the development of the city. The Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin once inspected the city and gave it special care. The top officials both of the province and the prefecture inspected the city, which encouraged the people greatly. In the 1990s, the development of the economy and social affairs of the city are running on the fast way.

　　The past is gone like a song and the future is broadly prospective when we look forward to future. With accelerating the development to the central and western China, the Party Committee and the City Government guided by the “Three Representations” raised by Jiang Zemin, the General Secretary of Central Committee of China Communist Party, will make good use of the opportunity, continuing to carry out the Xiaowu road construction spirits of “taking the interests of the whole into account, being brave in contribution and managing to be the first”. Great efforts will be focused in the reorganization of economic structures by extending two product chains of coal-coke-chemical and coal-power-aluminum. Three corporation groups of coal and coking and aluminum will be set up. Four bases of mechanical coking, coal chemicals, refractory materials and agricultural sidelines will be constructed. Highlights will be given to ten key fields of its traditional products such as mechanical coking, coal chemicals, plastic chemicals, natural gas comprehensive utilizations, high-aluminum refractory, building materials and agricultural special planting, raising and process, special markets for commodity circulation, shadow and puppet show. And it will make every effort to promote her economic prosperity, promote her urban functions, improve her infrastructure, thrive her social affairs so that we will bring a more open, more civilized and thriving and new regional centered city into 21st century.

　　The great potentiality lies in the abundant natural resources and the talents bestow the vigor and vitality of the city. All friends at home and abroad are welcome to the city and cooperate with us to develop this prospective land.
