——The 2016 Shaoxing “Yuegong Cup” Welding Skills Competition and the Zhejiang Province Construction Industry Welding Selection Contest for the Shaoxing Region were successfully held.
To thoroughly implement the Municipal Party Committee’s strategic plan for the “Eight Major Industries,” vigorously promote the spirit of craftsmanship, precisely enhance workers’ skills, and foster a positive atmosphere of “learning and improving skills,” in accordance with the guiding principles outlined in relevant documents and the city-wide deployment for vocational skills competitions, the 2016 Shaoxing “Yuegong Cup” Welding Skills Competition—also serving as the Shaoxing regional qualifying round for Zhejiang Province’s construction‑industry welding contest—was recently held with great solemnity at Yuegong Group. The event was jointly hosted by the Shaoxing Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, the Shaoxing Municipal Housing and Urban–Rural Development Bureau, the Shaoxing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and Shaoxing Industrial and Commercial State‑Owned Capital Management Co., Ltd., and co‑organized by the Steel Structure Branch of the Shaoxing Construction Industry Association, the Shaoxing Municipal Engineering Industry Association, and Yuegong Holding Group Co., Ltd. It is classified as a first‑level municipal competition. The competition awarded one team prize, one outstanding organizational award, one first‑place individual prize, two second‑place prizes, and three third‑place prizes.
To ensure the smooth conduct of this competition, in accordance with the guiding principles and specific requirements outlined in documents issued by higher-level authorities, a Competition Organizing Committee was established. The committee comprises separate sub‑groups—namely, the Conference Affairs Group, the Preparation Group, the Referees Group, the Logistics Support Group, and the Arbitration Group—each assigned specific responsibilities. Comprehensive planning and meticulous arrangements were put in place, and all staff members demonstrated dedication, collaborated effectively, and organized the event with great care, thereby guaranteeing its successful execution.
The organizing committee received registrations from eight teams—representing Yuecheng District, Keqiao District, Paojiang District, Zhuji City, Shengzhou City, and the municipal government—and 23 registered participants, of whom 20 ultimately took part. To showcase their skills and performance in the competition, all contestants were eager to compete and undertook thorough preparations beforehand.
To ensure that the competition results are “fair, just, and transparent” and legally valid, this event has specially invited notaries from the Yuezhou Notary Office of Shaoxing City to participate throughout the entire process, overseeing and notarizing every stage of the competition. This marks the first time a city-level competition in Shaoxing has incorporated a notarization mechanism, breaking new ground.
On the morning of October 19, all contestants, led by their respective team leaders, checked in one after another to begin the competition. In the afternoon, a grand opening ceremony was held in the conference room at the Yuegong Group headquarters, attended by leaders from the organizing and co-organizing entities. Representatives of the competitors and the chief judge took to the stage to take their oaths, followed by an address and the official announcement of the event’s commencement by Jiang Lianping, Vice Chairman of the Shaoxing Municipal Federation of Trade Unions. Vice Chairman Jiang extended his congratulations on the holding of the competition and encouraged all participants to demonstrate both sportsmanship and excellence. Following the opening ceremony, contestants proceeded with a theoretical examination after drawing lots to determine their exam rooms.


On the morning of October 20, under the supervision of notaries, the contestants drew lots to determine their practical‑operation batches and then took their hands‑on examination at the training facility of Master Zhang Gaozhang’s studio in Yuegong. Sparks flew as they worked, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. Shaoxing TV covered the competition and interviewed representatives of the participating contestants. Meanwhile, Vice Chairman Zhang Weihua of the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, despite his busy schedule, visited the venue to cheer on the competitors, engage in cordial conversation with Master Zhang Gaozhang, and pose for commemorative photos.

After a full day and a half of intense yet well-organized competition, the judges meticulously evaluated the results in accordance with the requirements set forth in the official technical documentation. In the end, the competitors from the Keqiao District team took first and second place in the individual events, while the competitors from the Municipal Direct‑Affiliated Industry and Trade team secured third place in the individual category. The Keqiao District team was awarded the team prize, and the Municipal Direct‑Affiliated Industry and Trade team received the award for outstanding organizational performance.


On the afternoon of the 20th, the competition’s organizing committee held a brief yet solemn awards ceremony. Leaders from the sponsoring organizations attended, Professor Zhao Qiaoliang, head of the judging panel, read out the list of winners, and a notary from the Yuezhou Notary Office delivered the official notarization statement. The distinguished guests presented certificates and prizes to the contestants who earned first-, second-, and third-place individual honors, as well as team awards and the award for outstanding organizational performance, before posing for commemorative photos. Deputy Director Tao Jinsheng of the Shaoxing Municipal Housing and Urban–Rural Development Bureau, Deputy General Manager Ling Zhengguang of Shaoxing Industrial and Trade State‑Owned Capital Management Co., Ltd., and President Ren Qiliang of Yuegong Group each addressed the audience. The ceremony concluded amid warm applause.
