Luodai, the original work of Luodai, got its name from two sources: first, it is said that Liu Chan, the prince of Shu, was playing in the town during the Three Kingdoms period. In order to catch carp, he accidentally dropped the jade belt into an octagonal well in the town and got its name from Luodai; second, there is a river of "water falling from the sky like a jade belt", so it is called Luodai. Later, it gradually simplified the Convention custom and became "Luodai". The name of "Luodai" was first found in "Chengdu Luodai man Mou Yu Yi" in the story of fairy feelings by Du Guangting of the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, which indicates that the name of "Luodai" was established before the end of Tang Dynasty.
