The origin of the name

According to Wu Yang He Zhi written by Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, She Zhong, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, called her house "she house" after he won the number one scholar of the middle school. The local Confucians thought that the local water town was surrounded by lakes and rivers, and the rivers and ponds were dense, so they changed "house" to "Ze". Later, it became a small market town. People from northern Jiangsu and other places came to the town to do business, mistaking "she Ze" as "tea food".
