The Origin of Village Names in Li Jiazhuang

Li Jiazhuang consists of four natural villages: Li Jiazhuang, Dayukou, Dingjiayao and Sunjiafen. According to legend, a long time ago, several families surnamed Li moved from Hongtong County to settle here, hence the name. Sun Tomb has a long history. According to the old man's rumor, this is the business hours after Sun's grave. During the Republic of China, the ancestral grave of Jin general Sun Chu was also here. In ancient times, there was a special person who looked after the tomb here. Legend has it that the Sun family was very powerful and was envied by some officials, which made the emperor uneasy. So I invited a Taoist priest to do it, which ruined Sun's geomantic omen. The Taoist priest told the Sun family that in order to protect the Sun family from being an official, it was necessary to take the soil from Zhou County and build a mountain in Longyankou. Sun Jia was convinced, so he ordered Zhouxian to transport mounds to build a mountain. After the completion, the Taoist secretly buried a bronze hay cutter in the mouth of the dragon Nian. As a result, the Year of the Loong's head was cut off by the bronze hay cutter, and red water flowed out of the ravine for three days and three nights. From then on, the saying family began to decline. The originally heavily guarded bamboo slips cemetery is no longer a forbidden area, and residents have moved in one after another. These residents and the people who first showed bamboo slips the tomb formed the present bamboo slip tomb village. Dingjiayao: It is said that there is a Dingjia family in Dingjiazhuang, Zhang Cun, who made several caves on this hillside to live in, and later formed a small village called Dingjiayao. Dayukou: Because there is a ravine in the east of the village, the gully mouth is very big, so it is named Dayukou.
