1, Caocun has excellent geographical conditions and created an ideal environment for cultural development. Caocun is rich in products, including rice, beans and wheat, oranges, bayberry, millet, loquat, bamboo and wood, celadon and porcelain bowls, as well as workshops for brewing, reeling, printing and dyeing, water hyacinth, oil tanker, bean making and vegetarian noodles, with strong economic strength. Caocun, located in the traffic artery of Guangdong and Zhejiang, is the main commercial distribution center of Ruian, with developed industry and commerce and prosperous economy. ?

2. Since ancient times, Wenzhou has enjoyed a prosperous style of writing and numerous academies. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were academies such as Dongshan, Fuzhi, Yongjia, Chengnan and Chengbei in the city alone, and Xianyan Academy, Tang Ao and Meitan Bookstore in Rui 'an. In Cao Cun, Jiang Cao founded Fenggang Bookstore, and Cao Qian founded Huqiu Academy. The two academies invited famous teachers to their schools, which created a large number of useful talents in the country. ?

3. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin 'an (now Hangzhou) was the capital, and the political and cultural center moved south, which made it easier for Cao Cun's children to enter imperial academy for further study and examination. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, most of China's feudal capitals were built in the north, which was a long way. It is not easy for people to take exams in Xi and Kaifeng, so there are few scholars.
