小站地处天津市南郊区(现为津南区),过去是一片退海的荒地,到处是苇湖泥塘,人烟稀少。到了近代,小站才逐渐发展起来,并以盛产质地优良的“小站稻”而闻名全国。在中国近代史上,小站可谓“人才”辈出,名声显赫。清朝末年,袁世凯曾在此练兵,训练出来的军阀,一度统治全国。北洋军阀的头目大多数是小站“出身”,其中包括三个“总统”(袁世凯、冯国璋、曹琨)、一个“执政”(段祺瑞),此外还有二三十个“督军”,这在全国都是极为罕见的。 The station is located in the southern outskirts of Tianjin (now Jinnan District), the past is a sea of ​​wasteland, full of reed lake mud ponds, sparsely populated. In modern times, the small station was gradually developed and well-known for its rich and excellent “station rice”. In modern history of China, the station can be described as “talent” in large numbers, renowned. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shih-k’ai had trained troops there and trained warlords who once ruled the country. Most of the leaders of the Northern Warlords are “originators” of the station, including three “presidents” (Yuan Shikai, Feng Guozhang and Cao Kun), one “in charge” (Duan Qirui), and another 20 to 30 “warlord” This is extremely rare across the country.
