Historical evolution

Sihe got its name. It is said that it was a forest mountain area in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. It was named Shihao because the river between two lion like peaks in Dacun roared like a lion. Later, it was renamed Sihe according to the local Hakka dialect. In history, there has been a dispute about the ownership of Sihe, because Sihe town is only 40 kilometers from Luoding, but 130 kilometers from Xinyi. The culture and economy of Sihe are in the same vein with Luoding. In the early years of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, Sihe town belonged to Dingkang capital of Xinyi county. In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), it was assigned to Xining County, which was newly established, and it was still Dingkang capital.
