　　Nankē Village is situated in the southeast of Zhēnyuān Town, Wǔgōng County. Currently, the village has a population of 1,986 people, 376 households, 6 villager groups, and 2,400 mu of arable land. In 2007, the village’s total economic income was 8.9 million yuan, and the per capita net income was 3,500 yuan. The village is involved in labor export. Distinctive economic initiatives such as the “one village, one product” model show a promising trend of multi-faceted growth and vigorous development.

　　Relying on the Nankē Handwoven Cloth Cooperative, the village adopts a cooperative + farmer household model to vigorously develop the handwoven cloth industry. It has now developed 420 looms, employing over 600 surplus rural laborers. The produced four-ply, 24-color handwoven cloth products are bright in color, eco-friendly, practical, and in high demand. These products have received high praise from national, provincial, and municipal leaders, been widely publicized by major news media, and gained increasing domestic recognition and influence.

　　Led by Nankē, the handwoven cloth industry has also flourished in twelve surrounding villages, accumulating more than 1,500 looms, with over 1,200 households joining the Nankē Handwoven Cloth Cooperative. Under the leadership of the cooperative, Zhēnyuān Town has become a nationally recognized hub for handwoven cloth, with an annual production capacity of over 30,000 sets (pieces) of Nankē-brand handwoven cloth (silk) bed linens and other handwoven products. These include more than twenty varieties such as bed sheets, duvet covers, shirts, and cushions. This single industry alone generates over 15 million yuan in annual income, effectively boosting farmers’ earnings. Nankē Village has become a model village in Shaanxi Province for developing the “one village, one product” industry and building a new countryside.
