According to the research of Guishan cultural site, there were people's livelihood activities in Mazha village in the late Shang Dynasty. According to legend, the earliest people living here were Lin and Guo, named Xintianliao. After Huang, Luo, Feng, Dai and other surnames came to live here one after another, but with the gradual growth of population, Lin moved to other places. Most of the land here belongs to Mr. Ma Dade in Chaoyang, and most of the residents living here have to rent Ma Dade's cultivated land to make a living. Therefore, most of these foreign residents became tenants and tenants of Ma Dade. At the end of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1862- 1874), Mr. Ma Dade often went to the countryside to collect rent. Because Mr. Ma is charitable and caring, if he encounters natural disasters and the harvest is not good, he will order a rent reduction. Year after year, we get along well, and our feelings with the villagers are getting deeper and deeper, which is deeply loved by the villagers. During this period, Mr. Ma once said to the squire, "The northeast entrance of the village has aura. When I die, I will be buried there. In the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), Mr. Ma Dade died, and his relatives buried him in Shuikou of our village according to his will. Later, the villagers called him "the grave under the iron fence", which means that the grave of the horseman is like an iron fence. Geologists call it "snail's star flare", which means: this tomb is like a snail, but it blocks the current. In geomantic omen, it is emphasized that water is wealth, and snails block water, that is, block wealth, forming a pattern of gathering wealth. Later, homesickness broke out, farmland was harvested, six animals flourished, and people lived long. To commemorate Mr. Ma Dade, people changed the name of the village to "Ma Gongzha" and built a Master Ma Dade Temple in the village to show their respect. 1950 People's Republic of China (PRC) was renamed Mazha after its establishment.
At the beginning of the establishment of Magongzha Village, the whole village was dry land, and water conservancy problems restricted the population and economic development of the town. In the last years of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1860), villagers Huang Xingfu (commonly known as Sanye) and Huang Mingchun (commonly known as Yu Ye) led the whole village. After seven years of hard work, all interference was finally eliminated. With the approval of the county government at that time, a dam was built at the upper reaches of Nan 'an River in the village (now Gexi Dabei) to divert water into the village. When the vicious water flowed into the tap of Changpu at the edge of the village, the whole village was singing and dancing, and it was full of joy. In ancient times, there was a saying that "water rushes to the three rivers and wealth gathers in the east heart ditch". Since then, the dry land in the village has turned into fertile land, which has played a great role in the development of Mazha economy and population. Judging from the historical development of the village, it is a great leap to build canals and divert water in Mazha Village.
