In Xinxing County, people tend to cultivate mainly, and agricultural production has a long history. In the Tang Dynasty, farmers planted rice in two ways. During the Song Dynasty, the county had built a community fair and irrigated 5111 mu of land. By the Qing Dynasty, there were 48 cases of grass and trees and stones, and more than 31,111 mu of farmland were irrigated. During the Qianlong period, farmers cultivated 214,596 mu of farmland, with 91,471 smokers and 2.35 mu of cultivated land per capita. The development of agriculture promoted the rise of industry and commerce. At that time, there were more than 311 large and small shops in the county, dealing in rice, homespun, medicinal materials, soil sugar, rice wine, etc. There are 39 banks and pawn shops in the county, which are engaged in pawn, borrowing and lending business. During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, the foreign trade of Xinxing County had reached a certain scale, and the products exported outside the county every year included paddy, rice, earth sugar, pigs, tobacco leaves, preserved duck and Ge Fen.

in the early years of the Republic of China, agriculture, handicrafts and commerce in the county developed greatly. Agricultural products are mainly rice, cassava, sugarcane, peanuts, red tobacco, pigs, poultry and pond fish. In addition to farming, farmers also engage in mining and firewood harvesting. There are small workshops in the county town, such as dyeing cloth, thread incense, gold and silver jewelry, cake food, car clothes, etc. There are cassava starch, sucrose, cut tobacco, making seats, etc. The exported products include paddy, rice, soil sugar, dried litchi and tobacco leaves. In 6 ~ 7 years of the Republic of China, when Li Yaohan, a native of Xinxing County, was the governor of Guangdong Province, merchants from all over the country gathered in counties and paradise, and set up cigarette houses, money houses and rice and oil grocery stores all over the country. The business became increasingly prosperous and promoted the development of agricultural production and foreign trade. In 21 ~ 23 years of the Republic of China (1932 ~ 1934), the agricultural products exported from the county every year were: 331,111 stones of rice (each stone is equal to 54 kilograms of current production), accounting for one third of the county's output; 5,111 pigs; 25,111 kilograms of dried litchi, accounting for 51% of the county's annual output; 91,111 kilograms of soil sugar, accounting for 61% of the county's annual output; 281,111 kilograms of tobacco leaves, accounting for 71% of the county's annual output. The exported rice is especially good in quality of "Xinxing Youzhan" and "Xinxing Bai", and the products are sold to Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhaoqing, Hong Kong and Macao, both inside and outside the famous county, and are recorded in Panyu County Continued Records.

in the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), Guangzhou fell, the antelope gorge of Xijiang River was closed to navigation, and roads in various places were destroyed. It became a new trade channel between Foshan, Guangzhou, Xinhui, Taishan, Kaiping and Enping, and its commercial operation flourished for a while. However, during the eight years from 27 to 34 in the Republic of China, the territory was bombed by Japanese planes in 9 batches ***63 sorties; In September 33, the Japanese army invaded the county from the south road and the east road, causing heavy losses to the county's economy and people's lives and property. In 32 years of the Republic of China, the total rice output in the county decreased by 9.7% compared with 24 years of the Republic of China. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the 467th and 468th Regiments of the 156th Division of the Kuomintang Army repeatedly carried out "encirclement and suppression" and "mopping up" activities against the emerging people's armed forces in the county, which caused serious damage to industrial and agricultural production, resulting in "the poor are not given food, and the rich are not satisfied with peace". By 38 years of the Republic of China, there were only 37 private small-scale industrial enterprises and 522 merchants in the county. The market price soared, and the market circulation relied on "barter", or the major firms issued valley tickets instead of currency. The population of the county is 221,339, an increase of only 8,919 compared with the eight years of the Republic of China 31 years ago, and the average annual natural population growth rate is only 1‰. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the county has carried out large-scale economic construction. Although it has gone through a tortuous journey, it has still made great achievements. Especially after 1978, with the implementation of the policy of reform and opening up, the speed and efficiency of the national economy have made new breakthroughs and new developments. In agriculture, the economic structure and industrial layout of "grain-oriented, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, sideline and industry developed in an all-round way" have been formed, and it has become a famous commodity production base of grain, pond fish, pigs, poultry and fruits in Zhaoqing area, and agriculture has gradually developed from a natural economy to a commodity economy. In terms of industry, five industries, such as electric power, food, building materials, hardware machinery and garment processing, have initially formed, and the industry has changed from production-oriented and inward-oriented to production-oriented and export-oriented The tertiary industry such as commerce, service industry and tourism has become an important part of the national economy. People's economic life and cultural life have improved significantly. Handicraft production in the county began in the Tang Dynasty, but it developed slowly and the infrastructure was weak. By 1949, there were 37 private small-scale industries and 481 craftsmen in the county, which accounted for only 8.6% of the county's total industrial and agricultural output value.

after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the county people's government attached importance to industrial development. From 1949 to 1985, the investment in industrial fixed assets in the county was 56.347 million yuan, accounting for 61.96% of the total investment in fixed assets in the county. In 1985, there were 41 state-owned industrial enterprises, 144 collective industries and individual enterprises, and 742 individual industries that were also engaged in industry and agriculture below the village level. The original value of all fixed assets was 51.623 million yuan, with a net value of 42.34 million yuan, and there were 2,875 sets of main industrial equipment, of which the installed capacity of hydropower generation was 16,171 kilowatts, the annual power generation capacity was 71 million kilowatts, and the total power of power machinery was 31,519 kilowatts. There are 58,111 tons of cement, 1.93 million pieces of daily-use ceramics, 2 million pieces of clothing, 52,111 tons of rice milling, 7,811 tons of sucrose and 4,111 pieces of furniture, initially forming five major industries: electric power, food, garment processing, building materials and hardware machinery. That year, gross industrial output value in the county was 63,117,411 yuan, and the comparable price was 26.89 times higher than that in 1949. In the 37 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the average annual growth rate of industrial output value was 9.4%, and the total profit and tax paid to the county local finance was 59.284 million yuan, accounting for 31.19% of the total local revenue of the county finance and 115.2% of the investment in industrial fixed assets in the same period. Industrial enterprises occupy an important position in the county's national economy, and their role is increasing day by day. The annual industrial output value accounts for 7.7% of the county's total industrial and agricultural output value, 27.8% in 1952, 42.9% in 1965 and 1978. However, after 1978, the development speed of state-owned industries was lower than that of collective and individual industries, and lower than that of agriculture. In 1985, the proportion of the county's industrial output value to the county's total industrial and agricultural output value decreased from 42.9% in 1978 to 28.4%, a decrease of more than 1.4 percentage points. Some state-owned industrial enterprises have low equipment utilization rate, insufficient raw materials and low quality of workers, which has affected the economic benefits of enterprises. In that year, the profit and tax rate of state-owned industrial enterprises in the county was 12.68%, which was 14.31% lower than that in 1981. The cost-benefit tax rate is 13.18%, which is 2.86% lower than that in 1981. The export rate of output value and sales value is 4.41%, which is 5.49% lower than the county average. There is still great potential to develop the county's industry in an all-round way, improve quality of enterprise, and enhance the competitiveness and economic benefits of products. The production and management of industry are facing many new topics, which need further exploration, research, development and development.

Rice is planted all over the county, mainly in Chegang, Dongkou, Huancheng, Dongcheng, Rencun, Shuitai, Shangsha, Integration and Paradise.

in the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), the rice planting area in the county was 382,411 mu, with an average annual yield of 1.14.77 kg per mu, with a total output of 43,885,411 kg. In 32 years of the Republic of China, the annual rice planting area was 376,611 mu, with a total output of 39.219 million kg, with an average annual yield of 1.114.1 kg per mu.

after the founding of the People's Republic of China, from 1951 to 1957, the annual yield and total output of rice in the county increased for eight consecutive years.

In the late year of p>1958, county, community and team cadres carried out the so-called "11,111 Jin high-yield experiment" at different levels, and implemented the "grain satellite", which moved and densely planted some seedlings that had been planted for more than a month, some of which reached more than one million seedlings per mu, resulting in most of the "high-yield experimental field" or "contiguous high-yield field" seedlings rotting and dying, and reduced production or lost harvest. In that year, the paid-in area of rice in the county was 597,911 mu, which was 56,511 mu less than that in 1957, and the total output was 8.35% less than that in 1957.

from 1959 to 1962, due to farmers' living difficulties, rice production in rural areas decreased for four consecutive years, and the annual total output decreased by 6.44%, 11.72%, 8.16% and 1.45% respectively compared with that in 1958.

in p>1964, the "high-stalk variety" of rice was changed into "short-stalk fine variety" in an all-round way, and coarse tillage was changed into intensive cultivation, and winter green manure was widely planted, and the high-yield experience of cultivating strong seedlings, rational fertilization, timely open field drying and so on in Chaoshan area was popularized. The average annual yield of rice per mu was 1.835 kg, and the total output exceeded 1 billion kg for the first time.

from 1971 to 1977, under the guidance of the idea of "taking grain as the key link", the development of cash crops in various places was restricted, and the annual rice planting area was over 611,111 mu, of which in 1971, the rice planting area in the county was 632,811 mu, accounting for 98.3% of the total paddy field area in the county, with an average yield of 228 kg per mu and a total output of 144.285 million kg.

after p>1978, with the goal of increasing rice yield per unit area and total output, the rice production area was reduced in a planned way to realize the all-round development of rice production and various economies. Compared with the seven-year total area from 1972 to 1978, the total rice planting area in the county decreased by 11.97%, but the total rice output increased by 4.24%.
