江西是全国最早发现钨矿的地区之一,其储藏量最为丰富,是最重要的钨矿产地,相应也聚集了全国最大规模的钨矿工人。国民政府时期江西钨矿工人是当时矿工的一个典型代表。江西矿工多为矿山周边农民,亦工亦农,在江西钨矿由私营到省营再到国营的过程中,其分布呈现出既集中于西华山等大型矿山又分散于其它中小矿山的特点,而其规模则在曲折中不断发展。江西矿工通过棚的形式经营着生产与生活,虽生活贫困,却形成了一个特殊的社会群体。 Jiangxi is one of the earliest areas where tungsten was discovered in the country. It has the most abundant reserves and is the most important tungsten ore producing area. Correspondingly, it is also home to the country’s largest tungsten miners. During the period of the Kuomintang government Jiangxi tungsten mine workers was a typical representative of the miners at that time. Jiangxi miners are mostly farmers around the mine, also workers also farmers in Jiangxi tungsten from private to provincial and then to the process of state-owned, the distribution of both concentrated in the West Huashan and other large mines scattered in other small and medium-sized mines, And its size is in twists and turns in the continuous development. Jiangxi miners operate production and living through the shed, forming a special social group though they live in poverty.
