近现代工业重镇和制造业有着不解之缘。
120年前，汉阳铁厂的第一炉钢水，开启了中国近现代钢铁工业征程。新中国成立后，武钢、武重等一批武字头制造企业，对新中国的建设发展贡献了重要力量。
从鹦鹉大道行入龟山北路，道路骤然变窄，浓绿清凉的林阴小道夹带着一股历史的气息，迎面扑来。
马路旁，一块刻有“汉阳铁厂凝铁”字样的石碑矗立着，其上的红色油漆已经褪色。不远处，一块形如卧牛的大“石头”静静地躺着。如果不是一旁的凝铁碑和文字介绍，没人会想到它竟然是一块铁。
它就是“定汉神铁”——汉阳铁厂凝铁。
所谓的“凝铁”，就是没有冶炼成型的钢铁。它只是个半成品。可是，风起云涌的时代赋予它以特殊的意义。
晚清时，湖广总督张之洞在龟山北麓创建汉阳铁厂。它为中国建铁路、造机器、兴军工、造船舶提供所需的钢铁，加快了中国近代化的进程。后因民国政府改变钢轨样式，汉阳铁厂库存钢轨全部报废，一度停产。1924年10月，三号高炉停止冶炼，汉阳铁厂最终全面停产。
这个高约2米、直径近4米的大家伙，是个货真价实的铁锭。它的重量高达200余吨，相当于40多万瓶500ml的矿泉水的总重量。这块凝铁，是汉阳铁厂发展以及中国近代工业起步的重要见证。
1923年9月2日夜晚，四号高炉因炉墙坍塌而停炼，一炉铁水停留在炉中，逐渐冷却凝固，形成一炉凝铁。这便是“汉阳铁厂凝铁”的由来。2007年9月2日，在它84周岁生日之际，“定汉神铁”这个称号被官方确认。
经当时的专家测算，这重达200吨的“神铁”，含铁接近70%，就算是卖废铁也能卖40万元。加上它的文物价值，到底值多少钱，谁也说不清。
2007年年底，汉阳区建设局投资在龟山北路上建起这个小型的凝铁纪念园，在“定汉神铁”周围建了下沉式广场，就地取石做标示牌，上书“凝铁”，供人们抚摸、凭吊它尽显沧桑的面庞。
Preface
Wuhan city, an industrial powerhouse in modern times, is inextricably linked to the manufacturing industry in China.
120 years ago, the first batch of molten steel in Hanyang Iron Works marked the beginning of China’s modern iron and steel industry. After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, a number of manufacturing enterprises such as Wuhan Iron & Steel Corp and Wuhan Heavy Duty Machine Tool Group Corporation, all initialized by the Chinese character “Wu,” have made great contributions to the construction and development of New China.
The God Iron tt Stabilizes Wuhan City
When entering from Parrot Avenue into the Turtle Hill North Road, a narrow trail lined by thick forest unveils in front of us, full of historic flavor.
A faded red stone tablet, engraved the “Solidified Iron made by Hanyang Iron Works" stands beside the road. In the distance, a big “stone” in the shape of a crouching ox lies quietly. Nobody would know tt it was a piece of iron if there were not an inscription of “Solidified Iron” and a brief introduction beside it.
This solidified iron is right the “God Iron tt Stabilizes Wuhan City.”
Solidified iron is actually a piece of steel tt has not been smelted and molded completely. Such iron was not a rarity at tt time, but merely a semi-finished product.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Hanyang Iron Works was built on Turtle Hill North Road, guided by Zhang Zhidong, the Viceroy of Huguang (or Governor-General of Hubei and Hunan Provinces and the surrounding areas). At tt time, the factory provided China with iron and steel needed in building railways, forging machinery, implanting military industry, and constructing ships, which accelerated the process of modernization in China. Later, in the Republic of China period, the Beijing Government made a decision to change the rail patterns and forms-all the steel rails produced by Hanyang Iron Works had been scrapped and production was delayed. In October of 1924, the 3rd blast furnace ended its smelting process, and the factory finally stopped its production completely.
The huge piece of iron, about 3 meters high and 4 meters in diameter, is a genuine ingot. It weighs more than 200 tons and is equivalent to a total weight of more than 400,000 bottles of mineral water at 500 ml each. It is an important witness to both the development of Hanyang Iron Works and modern Chinese industry.
On the night of September 2, 1923, the 4th blast furnace stopped smelting due to the collapse of its wall. A furnace of molten iron was left and gradually cooled and solidified, forming a concrete piece, which was thence known as the “Solidified Iron made by Hanyang Iron Works.” On September 2, 2007, on the occasion of its 84th birthday, it was officially recognized as the “God Iron tt Stabilizes Wuhan City.”
The “God Iron” weighing 200 tons, with almost a 70% content of iron, is an invaluable asset. At tt time, experts estimated tt, even scrapped iron of such weight could be worth 400,000 yuan. And if its cultural value is considered, no one could be sure of its exact value.
At the end of 2007, the Construction Bureau of Hanyang District built a small memorial park of concrete iron on Turtle Hill North Road. By setting up a sunken square around it and placing a stone tablet named “Solidified Iron,” the “God Iron” peacefully stands there like an old lady, waiting for people to sightsee and feel her aged face.
