During the Republic of China period, the development of hydraulic resources in Urumqi provided favorable natural conditions for the survival and development of the water mill industry. Under the stimulation of market demand, water mill industry has become an important economic activity in the local area. During this period, Urumqi's water mill industry mainly engaged in four types of business: incoming material processing, self-grinding and self-sales, outsource processing, and consigned processing. In addition, Urumqi has introduced "foreign water mill" equipment and technology from overseas, and established a "water mill peer guild" system in management, as well as various business models. The water mill industry plays a very important role in the social and economic development of Urumqi. It not only facilitates the daily life of the people, but also drives the development of hydraulic related industries related to water mills.
