Edit this historical evolution

The territory of Huilai County was the land of Baiyue in ancient times. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was under the jurisdiction of Boluo and Jieyang, Nanhai County. From the Jin Dynasty to the mid-Ming Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Chaoyang and Haifeng. In the first year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty (280), Haining County (formerly Xiuyang County) was established in Xin'an County (called Huizhou in the Northern Song Dynasty), but it is not in today's Huilai territory. In the ninth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (413), one part each of Chaoyang County and Haifeng County was divided into Haining County, which belonged to Ngee'an County (the predecessor of Chaozhou Prefecture); this was the earliest establishment in today's Huilai County. In the first year of Yongchu of the Southern Song Dynasty (420), Haining County was abolished, and the original Chaoyang County land was returned to Chaoyang County, and the original Haifeng County land was returned to Haifeng County (today's Lufeng City is limited to the Shifandu area, which used to belong to Haining County, Ngee'an County at that time). In the third year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1524), half of the Longjing capital in Chaoyang County was merged with the three capitals of Dani, Huilai, Youtou and Longxi capital in Haifeng County to form Huilai County. The county was named after the county was governed in Huilai capital. The city was built in the fourth year of Jiajing (1525) and named Huicheng. Because it is located in the southeast of Kuiling, it is also called Kuiyang. In the 32nd year of Jiajing (1553), it was divided into Jinghai Qianhusuo. After the establishment of the county, it was under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Prefecture until the end of the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Huilai County became an important member of the ship merchants in various towns in Chaozhou Prefecture, and often combined with the ship merchants of Chaoyang County to form the (two counties) Chaonan Gang (or Chao Hui Gang). During the Republic of China, it successively belonged to the Guangdong Governor's Office, Chaoxundao, Dongjiang Administrative Committee Office, Eastern District Appeasement Committee Office, and the Administrative Inspectorate Office of the Fifth and Seventh Districts of Guangdong Province. On May 20, 1949, the entire territory of Huilai was liberated, and in August, the Huilai County People's Government was established. Huilai County has successively been affiliated to the Chaomei People's Administrative Office, the Chaoshan Provisional Commissioner's Office, the Chaoshan District Administrative Inspector's Office, the Chaoshan Commissioner's Office, the Eastern Guangdong Administrative Office, and the Shantou Commissioner's Office. On December 10, 1958, the establishment of Huilai County was revoked and merged with Puning County. In March 1961, the organizational structure of Huilai County was restored and it was subordinate to the Shantou District Administrative Commissioner's Office. In 1983, the city-governed county system was implemented, and Huilai County belonged to Shantou City. In 1987, the county established 14 towns, 3 townships, and 4 agricultural and forestry farms, with 288 village committees, 27 residents' committees, and 553 natural villages under its jurisdiction, with a total population of 1.05 million.

Edit this paragraph's economic summary

Huilai's economy has historically been dominated by agriculture, and it is known as "Grass County". Although the geographical conditions are favorable, droughts, floods, winds, and tides have been frequent disasters in history. "Three days without rain caused a fire to burn the Po Po, and one day of rain turned the lake into a flood. In ten years, there were nine disasters and many months of famine, and nine out of ten households suffered from sorrow." And folk sayings such as "one year is flooded by salt water, three years there is no smoke". In the past, agricultural production developed slowly due to the constraints of the feudal land system. In 1949, the county's average rice yield per mu was 101 kilograms, the total output was 38,500 tons, and the total agricultural output value was only 37.77 million yuan.

After the founding of New China, land reform was implemented to improve social productivity and promote the development of agricultural production. Especially after 1978, the rural areas implemented the joint production contract responsibility system, which mobilized farmers' enthusiasm for production and promoted scientific farming, resulting in a significant increase in grain output. In 1987, the average rice yield per mu was 378 kilograms, and the total output was 122,900 tons, an increase of 50 and 5.3 respectively compared with 1978. On this basis, we rationally adjusted the production layout, organized in-depth agricultural development, and developed fruit production with lychees, pineapples, and bananas as the bulk fruits. Lychee production ranks first in Chaoshan, and the flesh is crisp and sweet, and it enjoys a high reputation in Hong Kong. Other cash crops are mainly planted in peanuts, tea, jute, radish, vegetables, and sugar cane. The dry quality of radish ranks first in the country. Vegetables have developed from self-sufficiency to export. By 1987, the county's fruit planting area reached 226,300 acres, with a total annual output of 21,200 tons, an increase of 1.79 times compared with 1978, and a total output increase of 5 times. Among them, the lychee planting area reached 84,000 acres, with a total output of 1,293 tons, respectively. In 1978, the growth rate was 2.65 times and 16.7 times, respectively. Pineapples and bananas both experienced varying degrees of growth. The county's total agricultural output value was 205 million yuan, an increase of 91.6% compared with 1978. The county has abundant rainfall, but the rainy season is unevenly distributed. The rainy period is from May to August every year, accounting for 88% of the annual rainfall. Floods often occur at the turn of spring and summer. Agricultural production has been severely damaged and farmers are living in hardship. After the founding of New China, with the attention of the Party and the People's Government, large-scale construction of embankments and water conservancy projects was carried out to improve the ability to resist natural disasters. By 1987, 224 Shantang reservoirs had been built in the county, including 1 large reservoir, 7 medium-sized reservoirs, and 216 small reservoirs, with a water storage of 400 million cubic meters and an irrigation area of ??275,900 acres; 29 water diversion projects were built, The water volume is 8.57 million cubic meters and the irrigated area is 24,000 acres. 251.2 kilometers of river and sea embankments and gates and dams have been reinforced, including 25 kilometers of Longjiang main embankments, and 222,000 acres of cultivated land have been protected, improving agricultural production conditions and basically realizing farmland irrigation and water conservancy. At the same time, we will strengthen the comprehensive development and utilization of water resources and build hydropower stations. In the 38 years since the founding of New China, 48 large and small hydropower stations including Wufutian and Chuanqiao have been built in the county, with 62 installed units and a capacity of 12,300 kilowatts. Solve the problem of electric lighting in rural and urban areas and supply some industrial electricity and agricultural electromechanical drainage and irrigation. Huilai has a mountainous area of ??1.0155 million acres. Before the founding of New China, most of the country was barren mountains and ridges, and the coast was a stretch of barren sand. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it attached great importance to afforestation and greening. It not only built timber forests, new charcoal forests, bamboo forests and fruit forests, but also built protective forests on coastal beaches. Forestry production developed rapidly. By 1977, the actual area of ??mountain forests in the county was 540,000 acres, and the forest coverage rate increased from 1 in 1950 to 28.7. However, there were also mistakes in the "cutting down of forests to make steel" in 1958 and the "cutting down of forests to create farmland" during the Cultural Revolution. The development process of forestry There are setbacks. By the 1980s, a system of forest and fruit responsibility was implemented for leading cadres at the county, town and village levels. At the same time, the forestry development policy of “centering on rapidly improving economic benefits and focusing on combining forest and fruit and creating high-yielding forests” was implemented. Afforestation and greening There are new developments. According to statistics from the forestry department, by 1987, the county had a forest area of ??779,000 acres, accounting for 76.7% of the mountainous area, an increase of 44% from 1977, and the forest coverage rate had reached 41.5%. The main species of forest trees include cypress, acacia, eucalyptus, fir, bamboo, etc. The main species of fruit trees include lychee, longan, mango, olive, pineapple, plum, carambola, pear, peach, plum, etc. The county has basically eliminated barren mountains, and the forests and fruits are luxuriant. Huilai farmers have always attached great importance to raising pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, geese, and ducks (hereinafter referred to as the three birds), and have developed animal husbandry as an important source of economic income. After the founding of New China, the breeding industry developed rapidly. In 1985, the number of pigs raised in the county was 326,000, and the number of pigs at the end of the year was 202,000, an increase of 2.3 times and 3.3 times respectively compared with 1949. In order to speed up the rapid development of the breeding industry, Australian pasture was introduced in 1987. The county's planting area is 8,088 acres, ranking first among the counties in Shantou City. The total annual output of hay is 25,000 tons, accounting for half of the city's output. And a livestock feed powder experimental processing plant and a comprehensive pasture demonstration center have been built to create favorable conditions for the development of animal husbandry.

In 1987, the county's end-of-the-year cattle inventory was 30,900 heads, an increase of 59.3% from 1978. The number of pigs raised was 349,800.

Due to the advancement of science and technology, fishing boats are equipped with modern fishing equipment and communication equipment, which has promoted a significant increase in the total aquatic product volume. In 1987, the total aquatic product volume was 28,800 tons. An increase of 7.2 times compared with 1949. Among them: 25,400 tons of seawater fishing and 1,333 tons of seawater aquaculture, an increase of 6.5 times and 24 times respectively compared with 1949. Precious seafood products such as squid, lobster, shrimp, abalone, sea urchin, grouper, eel, squid, seaweed, red crab, etc. are sold at home and abroad. With the further implementation of the reform and opening up policy, the freshwater aquaculture industry has developed rapidly. In 1986, the county invested RMB 29.644 million and USD 5.5 million to build 7,100 acres of shrimp ponds, two shrimp nurseries in Jinghai and Suzhou, and 2,000 cubic meters of nursery water. 311.4 acres of eel ponds were built in Longjiang and Xixi. Abalone breeding bases were built in Shenquan and Jinghai, and the economies of scale were increasingly expanded. A large number of shrimp, eels, abalone and other aquatic products and processed aquatic products have entered the international market.
