　　The weaving of bamboo hats in the current county area began during the Ming Dynasty. During the Republican era, bamboo hats were woven throughout the county, among which the premium fine-mesh bamboo hats produced in Zhanghuang were sold not only locally but also shipped to Hepu, Beihai, Zhanjiang, Hainan, and other places.

　　After the liberation, the styles of bamboo hats produced in the county were innovated, including worker caps and lace sea hats from Zhanghuang and Beitong, which were sold not only to Hainan, Fujian, and Zhejiang but also exported as far as Southeast Asia. In 1972, over 20,000 lace sea hats were exported, generating foreign exchange equivalent to more than 50,000 RMB.
