Gulai Town is located in the northwest of Shengzhou City, the hometown of Yue Opera, with Chongren Town in the east, Keqiao District (formerly Shaoxing County) in the north and Zhuji City in the west. It is about 2 1 km away from Shengzhou urban area, with jurisdiction of 1 community and 20 administrative villages. This is a mountain town with beautiful ecological environment. According to the records in Huiji of Song Jiatai and Ten Records of Liang Zaiyan in Tang Dynasty, "it is suitable to cultivate here, and the Oracle bones fell from heaven", so it was named "Gulai". In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), it was the first township in Shun 'an, later called Gulai Town.
Gulai Town has a long history and outstanding people. According to legend, the well-off kings of the Southern Song Dynasty (namely Zhao Gou and Song Gaozong) were chased by Jin Bing to Zhitouling, Gulai Town, and hid in the temple to rest. Nomads from the chase to the door of the temple, saw a spider web, shut the door. Nomads from the thought that no one entered the temple and left, and the well-off king escaped. Later generations renamed it the Mausoleum to protect the monarch.

Ma Laifa, the father of Ma Wangyun, Ma Chuanjin, a professor, doctoral tutor and orthopedic expert, were the more influential figures in Gulai Town in modern times. So Ma Yun's father once taught his son to be a person who will win glory for his hometown in the future.
Ma Yun's real ancestral home is Maxi Village in the north of Gulai Town, because after Ma Yun was born here, he became the most famous village among the 20 administrative villages in Gulai Town. The village is adjacent to Keqiao District, Shaoxing City. There are more than 390 households in the village, 1 180 people. 95% of the villagers in this village are surnamed Ma, and they were handed down by an ancestor named Ma Min. So they and Ma Yun are relatives and friends.
It is said that Ma's surname in Maxi Village was first moved from Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province, and his ancestor was a general named Zhao She during the Warring States Period. In 270 BC, Zhao She led the army to win Qin Jun, so Zhao Haoqi Huiwen gave Ma Su (north of Handan City, Hebei Province) to Zhao She and named him "Ma Su Army". Zhao She's descendants are all named after Ma Su. Later, the younger generation found this double surname inconvenient and unpleasant, so they deleted the word "Fu" and changed it to a single surname "Ma".
In the Western Han Dynasty, the descendants of Ma family moved to Maoling in Youfufeng (northeast of Xingping, Shaanxi) for many years. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a Ma Juanzhe named Shoucheng in Fufeng County, who served as an admonition officer in the Song Dynasty. He married his wife Zhao and gave birth to two sons. When Emperor Zhao Gou of the Northern Song Dynasty heard that the Jin people were coming, he led his army to the south. At that time, Ma Min was an official in Jiangsu and fled south with the emperor, so he fled to a small mountain village in Gulai Town, Shengzhou. At first, Ma's ancestors lived in a ravine to escape the war. Later, they moved to the village below the mountain, which is now Maxi Village.

Ma He is in charge of the district work in Gulai Town, and has the closest blood relationship. They have been the same squire for more than six generations. His father-in-law's family also kept a genealogy of horses. From this genealogy, we can find that Ma Yun's great-grandfather is a filial generation, his grandfather is a filial generation, and Ma Yun's father's generation is a loyal generation, all of which have their names on them. In Ma's Genealogy, Ma Yun's grandfather was recorded as follows: "His real name is Cai, surnamed Zhou Shu, and he lives in Kuobanqiao, Hangzhou (now Changhe Town, Binjiang District, Hangzhou, this bridge was built in the thirty-second year of Ming Wanli, and was built by Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and a cabinet university student to Zongdao. Single pier double-hole stone bridge. The pier was made of eight stone slabs, which was considered a wide bridge at that time, and the place around the bridge was called a wide slab bridge. Born in Guangxu period, accompanied by the daughter of Zhang A Quan Gong in Hangzhou. Give birth to a son and be loyal. " "Loyalty" in this article refers to the original name of Ma Laifa, Ma Yun's father. It is said that when Ma Yun was seven years old, Ma Yun's father went to live in Kuobanqiao, Hangzhou with Ma Yun's grandfather Ma Mian (Ma Yun's grandfather used to work in a lime factory). Ma Yun's family tree has not been revised, so there is naturally no record of Ma Yun in this family tree revised by 1936.

Some villagers built a small residential building on the basis of the old house in Ma Yunjia.
