Furong has been the main road of Wentaiyong (Jia) and Guangdong (Qing) since ancient times. During the Northern Song Dynasty (960- 1 127), it was one of the important post stations in Wenzhou and Taizhou, and it was the only place for north-south traffic. The reign of Qing Daoguang and Xianfeng (1820- 1850) lasted for seven years.
Japanese invaders frequently occurred in Ming Dynasty. Hibiscus, which is located in the main traffic road, was invaded and looted by the Japanese pirates three times in Jiajing (1544), 37 (1554) and 33 (1558) in Ming Dynasty. The people of Furong rose up and made brilliant contributions to the war of resistance in Yueqing.
With the continuous development of productive forces and the convenience of transportation, the fair trade of Furong is also relatively developed. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1662- 1722), the second and seventh days of the tenth lunar month were the market days, which made it an important distribution center for mountain and sea goods trading in the eastern part of Yueqing and became famous in surrounding counties. The second and seventh expositions have continued to this day.
Furong's education also developed earlier, and "normal schools" appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty (1265- 1274). In the thirty-first year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1905), a "second-class school for career" was established. After the seventh year of the Republic of China (19 18), primary schools were established in every village. Today, Furong has an education system from kindergarten and primary school to junior high school and senior high school.
In the history of Furong country, outstanding people and talented people came forth in large numbers. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Cai Min learned to save the Yuan Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, three generations of Hu's grandparents and grandchildren were awarded the title of "Three Spits General". In modern times, it was published in famous places such as Cai. Cai has contacts with Sun Li, Ma Yinchu, Huang Yanpei and others. He is good at Sanxian and once played in Hangzhou.
The beauty of the lotus is even more beautiful, and the mountains and rivers in the region are beautiful. Known as Benjue Temple, it is one of the eighteen ancient temples in Yandang. It has a history of 1200 years, and the scenic spots such as "Lotus Falls", Longtankeng and Jinzhujian are well known. The stream of Furong Creek is smoky in winter, warm as soup, and cool and comfortable in summer; On both sides of the stream, trees are shaded and flowers are clustered, which makes people relaxed and happy. Hibiscus is rich in products, especially taro, carrots, fragrant fish, wheat cakes and fried wheat. Among them, fried wheat skin is the most famous. According to legend, a long time ago, two families, Wang and Zhang, lived in furong village. Their children are childhood friends, and they are very suitable for each other, so they got married very early. It didn't take long for the Zhang family to be poor because of the fire. Zhang's son went to visit relatives at Wang's house. I didn't expect the Wangs to get rid of the Zhang family's son because they cheated the poor and loved the rich, but they were afraid of losing their reputation. So, under the guise of letting Zhang's son study at home, he secretly asked the slaves to lock him up and not give him food, trying to starve him to death. Who knew the daughter of the Wangs was a sentient being? When she learned about it, she was angry and anxious, and she used her quick wits. She fried wheat flour into thin cakes and made garlic into brushes. In the name of giving "paper" and "pen", she cheated the gatekeeper and gave it to the Zhang family. Zhang's son smelled the paper and the pen and took it away.
After the reform and opening-up, the old appearance of Furong has taken on a new look, and a new type of old mountain market town is rising rapidly.
