History
Fuyang was founded as Fuchun (富春, Fùchūn) under the Qin dynasty in 221 BC. The same name was shared at the time by the nearby stretch of the Qiantang River. The name Fuyang began to be used intermittently from AD 394 onwards. Under the Southern Song, Fuyang was the birthplace of the scholar Zhou Mi in 1232.
Recent research has shown that the Ming dynasty Hongwu Emperor fled through Fuyang from Yuan dynasty forces during the closing years of that dynasty. Evidence of the pursuit has been found on the Tianzhong and Anding Mountains as well as in Yushan Village.
During an offensive against the rebels in Zhejiang at the time of the Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864), Imperial commander Zuo Zongtang laid siege to Hangzhou and gradually captured the surrounding towns, including Fuyang to the southwest. In the final assault, General Jiang Yili and French commander Paul d'Aiguebelle (德克碑) destroyed part of the walls and took the city by storm, before sacking it.
In the early 20th century Fuyang was a hub for paper and bamboo products with Fuyanese bamboo used for the ribbing in paper umbrellas produced in Hangzhou.
