Jieyang is an ancient town in eastern Guangdong and a famous historical and cultural city in Guangdong Province. It has been recorded in history for more than 2,200 years (the ancient Jieyang area was not under the jurisdiction of Jieyang today, but was the area around Chaoan County in Chaozhou in ancient times). It was named after Jieyang Ridge, one of the Five Ancient Ridges, belonged to Baiyue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After Emperor Qin pacified South Vietnam, he established Jieyang Garrison District in the 33rd year of Qin Shihuang (214 BC), which was under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County. Jieyang County was established in the sixth year of Yuanding (111 BC) by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which governed the current Chaoshan, Xingmei and Longxi, Zhangpu and other places in southern Fujian. In the 6th year of Xianhe (331), Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jieyang was split into four counties: Haiyang, Chaoyang, Haining and Sui'an. After that, it was restored and abolished several times, and in the tenth year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty (1140), Jieyang County was established.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Putian people from Fujian immigrated to the Shantou area of ??Chaozhou to escape the war. Jieyang belonged to Chaozhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Jieyang belonged to Chaozhou Prefecture in Huichaojiadao. After the founding of New China, Jieyang County was successively affiliated to Chaoshan Prefecture, Guangdong Administrative Region, Shantou Prefecture, and Shantou City.
On December 7, 1991, the State Council (Guohan [1991] No. 84) approved the cancellation of Jieyang County and the establishment of Jieyang City (prefecture level). It currently governs Rongcheng District, Jiedong District, Huilai County, Jiexi County, and (administration of) Puning City.
Fengshun County was founded in the third year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1738). In the second year of Qianlong's reign (1737), Erda, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, inspected the Tongpan Mansion of Fengzhengdu in Haiyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture (in today's Fengliang Town), and reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs that he should request Fengzheng to be the capital and cut off Jiaying. The neighboring Tianliang household registrations in , Dabu and Jieyang were established in the county seat of Tongpan Fucheng. In the third year of Qianlong's reign, we accurately analyzed the first, second and third maps of Fengzhengdu in Haiyang, the ninth and tenth maps of Lantiandu in Jieyang County, Baimangshe in Qingyuandu in Dabu County and the paths and centers of Wan'andu in Chengxiang County, Jiaying Prefecture. New counties were established for grain farmers such as Huanqing and Jianqiao Sanbao. The county was named Fengshun. The county office was stationed in Tangtian, the capital of Fengzheng (today's Fengliang Town).
The name "Fengshun" has a long history. According to county records, Fengshun camp was set up in the early Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty (1628); ), there is a stone seal in the stele "Jintang Consolidation" erected by Wu Liuqi, a local, with the four characters "Fengshun Wu Mansion". After the establishment of the county, it came under the jurisdiction of the Chaozhou Prefecture of Hui Chao Jia, the governor of Guangdong Province and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. After the Revolution of 1911, it belonged to the Guangdong Provincial Government. In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), it belonged to the Fifth Administrative Supervision Office of the Guangdong Provincial Government (Chaoshan District). After liberation, it belonged to the Xingmei District Commissioner's Office, and the county seat was moved from Fengliang to Tangkeng. Fengshun is the only county in Meizhou that has not been governed by Xingning County, so it does not have the same historical origin as the six counties in Xingmei District during the Republic of China. In 1953, it belonged to the Administrative Office of East Guangdong. In 1956, it belonged to Shantou Special Administrative Region. In 1958, Fengshun County was abolished, and Tangkeng, Baxiang, Fengliang, and Pantian among the eight communes in the county were included in Jieyang County, and Dalonghua, Liuhuang, Huanghuang, and Tanjiang were included in Dabu County. Fengshun County was restored to its original organizational structure in 1961. The county seat is still located in Tangkeng Town and belongs to Shantou Prefecture. In 1976, it belonged to Meixian area, and in 1988, it belonged to Meizhou City.
