Historical evolution

Xishen township was early known as meizitan, also known as xishen beach. The small river in the mountains came from Longfeng township of Tongjiang County. It flows through this place in twists and turns. A beach was formed due to the siltation of the river. In the early years, there were plum trees on the river bank, so it was called meizitan. At the height of 100 meters on the left bank of the river, there is a temple called Meizi temple. In his early years, he began to take temple fairs as a fair to carry out material exchange activities, set up stalls and shops, and set the fair for the second, fifth and eighth days. Every summer, when the river is full of water and merchants are hard to cross it, there is another festival under the ancestral hall of Cheng family in Hedong, which is held at the same time as Meizi temple. After the construction of Shibanqiao in Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty, the markets on both sides of the Strait were merged into the town. In the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Bilu, a native of Taiping, went to the army and returned triumphantly. He came back from Bazhou and stayed at meizitan. His old name is very popular. The general thought that he had won many battles and was very happy. How could he stay at meizitan tonight? (homonym of Mei and Mei) at dusk, the general walked in the courtyard and said nothing. In the early morning of the next day, when he saw the magpie in Yuwang Palace on the other side of the river climbing the branch, he felt very relaxed and excited. He could not help but blurt out: "this place is called Xisheng beach." Later, because of the homonym of "Sheng" and "Shen", the scene was separated by a river, and there were four ancient temples: Meizi temple, Wangye temple, Yuwang palace and Wenchang palace. People think that the field is composed of temples, so it should be homophonically called "xishen beach field", and at the same time called "xishen field", which is still in use today. xishen has been under the jurisdiction of Bazhong since its history.
