Historical evolution

Name source

When the Ming Dynasty set up Tai Po County, it was set up in Tai Po village. To commemorate Mr. Dabu's virtue of benevolence, villagers jointly petitioned their superiors and named it "Dabu county". Later, because of the dispute between the two sides, in order to please the two sides, it was renamed as homophonic Dapu county.

There are two versions of the origin of the name of Tai Po County in the old records: the first is the name of Tai Po village. In 1739, Zhang Tingyu wrote the history of the Ming Dynasty geography, which recorded: "in the fifth year of Jiajing period, Dapu village of Raoping County was set up as the capital of luanzhou and Qingyuan." In 1931, Lu Shibin wrote and Ke Changsi procuratorial Office published the national interpretation of the name of Jin county: "in the fifth year of Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, the county was established in Dapu village of Raoping, so it got its name." The second view is that Yang zuanlie's "a study of the sound and meaning of the name of the city" in the annals of Dapu County in the ninth year of Qianlong (1744) said: "is the name of the city named after Dapu? Gai, commonly known as "having water and suitable for rice", is called "Tian"; hupingkuang plateau, only suitable for melons and fruits and sparse hemp, is called "Pu" Pu people have common pronunciation and common characters, and calligraphy is still a supplement.

At that time, those who built the city named it Yiyun.
