Origin of village name

Baijinbao, according to the inscriptions of the village's master temple, was originally named baijinpu. It was flooded during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and was renamed baijinbao. The fort is a fortress, which means it is strong and not easy to be destroyed.

Dongxi caotou: before the Ming Dynasty, Dongxi caotou was a village called lianshe village. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, because of the flood, the East and west of the village were cut off and left a natural channel. For the needs of production and life, the masses chose a narrow and shallow place on the canal in the middle of the village and set up a water tank. From then on, people naturally called Lianhe village "stool tank head". During the reign of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Xinghan, a Jinshi, was born in xicaotou village. He worked as an official in genyang, Shandong Province. Because of his good governance, he once loved to use him. However, in view of the unclear laws of the emperor at that time, the treacherous officials were in charge, they believed in slander, and they wanted to punish him. They swallowed gold and died on the way to transfer money. In order to distinguish the ancestral home of Liu Jinshi, the later generations called the "bencaotou" as "dongbencaotou" and "xibencaotou" respectively. Until the early days of liberation, it was changed to "east channel" and "west channel".

Dijiashe was named after Diqing, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was born in this village.
