When people in Gongcheng talk about the history of Camellia oleifera, they will still associate it with Zhou Wei, the censor of the Northern Song Dynasty who left Gongcheng.

Zhou Wei, courtesy name Dechen.

A native of Gongcheng Lukou Village.

He is a famous upright official in history.

His debut was sixty years earlier than Bao Gong.

When Bao Gong entered politics, he regarded Zhou Wei, a native of Gongcheng, as his role model.

According to records in the history of the Song Dynasty, Zhou Wei, as an upright official, had very remarkable political achievements. He dealt with corrupt officials decisively and swiftly.

When he died, his family had no money for burial?

"History of the Song Dynasty" contains such a description about Zhou Wei: "Shangmin was so poor that he could not bury him, so he gave him 100,000 yuan", so that he could be buried in peace.

Therefore, there has always been a beautiful legend in Gongcheng Yao Township. It is said that Gongcheng was originally called Tea City, and the tea tax paid to the court every year overwhelmed the place.

Zhou Wei sympathized with the people, so he added some strokes to the word "tea" and changed the tea city into Gongcheng. This exempted him from the heavy tea tax and saved the people from the fire.

It is true that the tea city was transformed into Gongcheng in history. According to the "Gongcheng County Chronicle" published in the 15th year of Guangxu's reign: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liang Xiaomi raised troops in Baling and occupied the territory of Guangdong. He began to divide Pingle into a county, which was called Tea City. Four Wudes of the Tang Dynasty

After the year of Pingxiao, the county was renamed Gongcheng County. "The people of Gongcheng put Lai on Zhou Wei, which showed the people of Gongcheng's deep gratitude to this innocent son of Yao Township.

There is a solemn Zhou Wei Temple in the county seat, also called Zhou Wang Temple.

It is now our education base for building a clean government.
