It was set up here when the supply and marketing cooperative was established in 1952. The traffic is inconvenient due to the separation of two streams,

In 1965, the township supply and Marketing Cooperative planned a new street in Batou, 0.5 km away from the old dyke, and built 1671 square meters of flat houses, building business hall, sales department, etc. After 1991, another 6500 square meters of Shangqing farmers' market was built in Xinjie.

The origin of place names

（1） Xiali

It belongs to Keming village. It is at the northern foot of Longwei mountain in zucuo. The hills in this area are similar to carp, and the terrain is low, so they are called Xiali. Because of the remoteness, the villagers moved to Anyang village and abandoned it.

（2） Caoshan

It belongs to Qingyang village. It is 8.6km north of the township government. Because it is located on the hillside of a gully, it is overgrown with weeds, so it is named. In 1987, 25 villagers from 5 families moved to dalinpu village because of the remote location.
