Why is Xiaochang called Garden?

Legend has it that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the garden at that time had no clear place name and was a barren land. There is a rich man named Wan. He has been in business for many years and accumulated a lot of money. He wants to find a land of feng shui to support himself. After finding this land, he will reclaim wasteland here, build houses and plant flowers and trees all over Fiona Fang.

A few years later, the garden was green, the fields were fragrant and the scenery was pleasant, which gradually attracted many businessmen and farmers to settle here and formed a large-scale market at that time. Ming Taizu's southern tour is called "Garden City".

At that time, many farmers couldn't find a doctor after they got sick, and they died helplessly and had no money for treatment. The millionaire surnamed Wan couldn't bear it. He built a big house with eaves and blue tiles as a drugstore in the most prosperous part of Garden City, and named it "Wan Shouchun".

One represents the longevity of the rich and the other represents the longevity of all people. Farmers who come here to get medicine don't charge a penny. The rules set by the rich man surnamed Wan have been passed down from generation to generation for nearly a hundred years, and Wanshouchun drugstore has also been preserved to this day, and it has been called a good family by local people.

Today, the name of the garden has been changed several times, and finally it was restored to huayuan town. 1993, Xiaochang county was established as the resident garden of the county government. Now the town has a population of 65,438+10,000, with a total area of 1, 2 1.4 square kilometers. It is the political, economic and cultural center of Xiaochang County.
