Leizhou has been home to humans since the Neolithic Age, four to five thousand years ago. During the pre-Qin period, this area was the sphere of influence of Yue Chu. According to historical records, in 355 BC, after Chu defeated Yue, "Chu Zi Xiong Hui was ordered to control Guangdong, so he opened a stone city and built buildings to mark its boundaries." From the sixth year of Yuanding in the Han Dynasty (111 BC) to the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of Leizhou City was governed by counties, prefectures, counties, roads and prefectures, and became the political, economic, cultural and center of the Leizhou Peninsula.

"He was revered as Lei Zu by later generations, and a shrine was built to commemorate him. Another example is Chen Yao, who served as an official in Gutian, Fujian, magistrate of Taiwan, governor of Fujian and governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. He was an honest official and loved the people like a son. He was known as One of the three most upright officials in Lingnan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the popular story of "Chen Yao releasing prisoners" is still circulating in Taiwan.

The philosophical words of "luqie, there is no century-old view of the building" are still inspiring today. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Haikang County under the jurisdiction of Leizhou Prefecture alone produced 22 Jinshi.
The vast red soil of Leizhou has left the footprints of virtuous ministers and generals from past dynasties. Fubo generals Lu Bode and Ma Yuan of the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties were ordered to maintain the unity of the motherland. They sent their troops southward and stationed troops in Leizhou to protect the people. Lei people built the "Fubo Temple" to commemorate their achievements; Li Yong, a famous official in the Tang Dynasty, and a famous official in the Song Dynasty Kou Zhun, Li Gang, Hu Quan, Qin Guan, Su Shi, Su Che, Zhao Ding, Li Guang, Ren Boyu, Wang Yansou, etc. were successively demoted to Leizhou or passed through Leizhou.

(2) The rainfall distribution is uneven. The rainy season is markedly dry and wet. Because the tropical ocean monsoon brings a large amount of water vapor, peak rain and typhoon rain every year.
