In front of the Xietan, there is Jue'an pass, which is a natural danger. Later, there is cheling pass, which is known as the key to the South Gate of Shouning County.

It is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a businessman surnamed Zhang went south to do business. When he passed by Xietan Banwei, which is full of pine forest and Lushang, he followed his dog to the East and West. He refused to leave despite calling. The businessman had no choice but to go south alone. A few days later, when he returned to his original place, he saw his dog wagging his tail happily, which was a sign of intimacy. However, he still stayed there and did not want to return to his hometown. The merchant seems to have some understanding. After careful exploration and observation, he can see that the pool here is deep, the sandbank is wide, and a fertile wilderness. It is a good place worthy of cultivation and development. A few days later, the merchant surnamed Zhang moved his family to banweiyang to start a business. Since then, the Guo family has moved from caikeng in Da'an, the Zhou family from Pingxi, the Lu family from Shenyang, and the Chen family from nanyangzi, gradually forming villages. Later generations called the mountain of zhangjiazhaoji zhangjialonggang, and the mountain of guojiazhaoji guojialonggang. The two mountains meander down from Nanyang side by side, stretching for tens of miles, and finally converge on the river, forming the trend of two dragons competing for the Pearl, so they are named Longjiang. These ancestors cultivated and multiplied here. They worked as successors, engaged in business, civil and military talents, and formed the four famous families of Lu, he, Zhou and Guo. Until the early Qing Dynasty, Xietan was called Longjiang. Later, it was renamed Longtan, and finally named Xietan, which is still in use today.

There are more than 20 surnames, more than 2000 households and more than 10000 people who have moved to Xietan from the surrounding areas.
