　　The unique climate and soil of Zhijiang City have nurtured "Zhijiang Cotton" with pure white fibers and superior quality, renowned throughout the Yangtze River Basin. The "Zhijiang Cotton Yarn" processed from this cotton features straight, parallel fibers with minimal impurities, excellent luster, uniform evenness, and high strength. Since ancient times, it has been a favorite in the cotton textile industry. After the founding of New China, Zhijiang’s textile industry was restored and developed rapidly. Following the reform and opening-up, it experienced rapid growth, with continuous improvements in production, quality, and recognition. Currently, Zhijiang City is home to over 30 large-scale cotton textile enterprises, with an annual yarn spinning capacity of 300,000 spindles and an output of 50,000 tons of cotton yarn. The cotton textile industry has become one of the city’s four pillar industries, generating an annual output value exceeding 10 billion yuan and making a significant contribution to the local economy. Leading enterprise Aomei Company utilizes locally produced Zhijiang Cotton Yarn to manufacture various types of medical gauze pads, non-woven fabric pads, and non-woven elastic crepe bandages, filling a gap in the dressing products market. Its hydroentangled non-woven fabric products have become designated supplies for Johnson & Johnson in the United States. The company is now one of the most valuable enterprises in China’s medical dressing industry.
