The name of the village comes from the fact that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a large Buddhist temple called "Lifoyuan" was built here. Li, Liu and Lu lived here. In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, families with surnames such as Li, Lu, Zhao and Liu moved from Hongdong County to the northeast corner of the Dafo Temple and settled there. Because there was a large population with the Li surname, it was named Lifoyuan Village. In 1966, affected by the Cultural Revolution situation at that time, the name was changed to Qianjin Village, which is still used today.
In 1959, during the difficult period of life, in order to maintain their livelihood, the villagers fled famine in two groups, one to the isolated island and the other to Zhaozui Commune (now Dingzhuang Township, Guangrao County). The 60 households with 304 people who went to the isolated island lived in a newly built village to the east of Youlin Village, named "Xingwu Village". Due to limited living conditions and the improvement of conditions in their hometown, in 1964, the first batch of 41 households and 198 people moved back to their place of origin. In 1976, the second batch of 12 households with 60 people moved back to their original places. In 1986, the remaining 7 households with 46 people all moved back to their original places. A total of 28 people from 6 households moved to Zhaozui Commune (now Dingzhuang Township, Guangrao County). In 1964, 9 people from two households moved back. In 1978, 3 households with 18 people moved back, and some of them are still in Dingzhuang Township.

The origin of the Great Buddha Temple. The barbarians in the south of the Yangtze River rushed here in pursuit of Feng Shui, but they couldn't get there and were very confused. Reluctantly, a temple was built here and named the Great Buddha Temple (referred to as the Great Temple) in order to seek blessings from the gods and continue to pursue Feng Shui with the help of divine power. This temple was given by the gods and is connected to the underground of Xindianqian Buddhist Hall and is in the same line. Temple fairs (incense fairs) were very popular at that time, and people from Yidu, Hebei and other places came to attend the fairs from a radius of more than a hundred miles. It was said that praying for God's blessings was more effective.
The Great Buddha Temple enshrines the statues of the Eighteen Arhats. During the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the Great Buddha Temple experienced vicissitudes of life and fell into disrepair, leaving only a local temple. After the old man passed away, he came to this Tutu Temple to send his soul (to send money). In the 1940s, the Tutu Temple collapsed. In 1946, the stele from the Great Buddha Temple was transported to the Yellow River for water conservancy construction. Only an 80-meter-square earth platform remained. By the 1980s, earth was taken and transported by passengers, and it became an earth pit.
