Lianjiang's ancient and modern economy is dominated by agriculture, especially planting, which belongs to a closed natural economic state. Economic development is relatively slow and people's lives are relatively poor. Traditional agriculture grows crops such as rice, sweet potato, chestnut, taro, sugarcane, red tobacco, jute and vegetables, and is used to raising livestock such as pigs, cows, chickens, geese and ducks. The grain output is low, but it is self-sufficient. The main local products are Changshan red tobacco, Jishui garlic, ginger, sericulture, tea, Huang Yang hemp and so on. Industry is relatively backward, mainly ceramics, casting pots, sauces, firecrackers and so on. By the beginning of this century. Handicraft and five craftsmen (carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, masons and masons) and four workshops (mills, flour mills, oil mills and tofu workshops) have mushroomed all over the villages and towns. In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), four people, including Li, founded Huaan Printing Factory in the middle street of Anpu Town, which opened the history of Lianjiang printing industry.

Gross output value 18 1 ten thousand yuan. Lianjiang is rich in products and has the basic conditions for developing business. However, due to traffic congestion, most people in the county are engaged in agriculture. Business is sluggish and the economy is backward. Before the founding of New China, Lianjiang commerce was relatively developed during the 20-30 years of the Republic of China (1931-1941year). The most famous commodities are Hongzhou in Shiling, garlic in Jishui, brown sugar, salted fish, seafood in Anpu and priceless medicinal materials. 26 years later. Anpu has more than 840 merchants. There are more than 200 businessmen and more than 600 Hong Kong businessmen. Liancheng has more than 0/50 merchants, including shoes and medicinal materials.

During the Anti-Japanese War, because the road was destroyed, a large number of goods such as gauze and department stores that entered the mainland from Guangzhou Bay were also sold by hand here, so they were very popular. In addition, flat needles such as Qingping, Tang Peng, Shijiao and Liangtong have gradually prospered. At that time, there were more than 600 enterprises and more than 3,000 small traders in the county.
