Today, the Bianjing building, standing majestically in the center of the county, is an artificial scenery left by the Ming Dynasty. Bianjinglou is the Drum Tower of the Ming Dynasty, also known as lianglou. It was first built in the seventh year of Hongwu (1374 AD) under the leadership of Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition army had just pacified the Shanxi area, and the remnant forces of the Yuan Dynasty were still instigating disturbances here. In the third year of Hongwu (1370 AD), some old military officials in daizhou instigated a rebellion, and the Ming government sent two generals of Tang and Lu to fight against the rebellion. After they put down the rebellion, they strengthened the city and built towers in the city. Because the Dai County was not a state city at that time, the building was named Bianjing building, which meant to guard the north and make it peaceful. In fact, it also meant to commemorate the success of the rebellion. By the eighth year of Hongwu (1375 A.D.), Daixian County was restored to the state, and the Bianjing tower became the Drum Tower of the state.
