In the old society, people in Liaobu lived an extremely hard life in patchwork clothes. There is a folk song named "Liaopu", which vividly describes the poor life of the villagers at that time: "Go fishing in black clothes and shorts and eat sweet potato paste three times a day. The man is not married at the age of 30, and the woman is married and suffers. "

Social economy is very backward, and people's life is extremely difficult. After liberation, under the leadership of the Party, the economic construction and various undertakings in Liaopu have undergone earth-shaking changes and development. Since then, Beipu has embarked on the road to prosperity. Liaopu Village is one of the three major fishing ports in Quanzhou (the other two are Chongwu and Shenhu). There are a total of offshore fishing boats 100 in the village (including steel fishing boats 15). The annual fishery output was 369,800 tons, with an output value of 6.5438+58 million yuan. Spinibarbus barbatus is mainly cultivated in the inland sea, and the famous "Lepidoptera" is deeply loved by the general public in Quanzhou. Liaobu's seafood radiates to all markets in the city, and seaweed and kelp are also planted, which has contributed to the prosperity of Quanzhou's urban and rural commodity markets. Fishery production has always been an important pillar industry of Hengpu economy, with a total output value accounting for 47% of the total industrial and agricultural output value of the village.
