The Origin of Yaoding in Guzhen County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province

The origin of Yao Ding in Guzhen County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province is related to a gentleman named Yao.

1. Mr. Yao built a manor here. Many buttonwood trees were planted in front of the manor, beautifying the environment of the whole village. Because Mr. Yao's family is rich, there are often many servants and workers working in the manor, so a lively village has gradually formed here. At that time, the residents of this village worshipped Mr. Yao very much and often gathered in front of the manor to ask him for knowledge or help solve some difficulties. Later, Mr. Yao died of illness, and the villagers were very sad and saw him off. In memory of this kind gentleman, the villagers decided to name the place in front of the manor "Yao Qian Ji Ding".

2. With the passage of time, Ding Qian, Yao Ji has gradually developed into a lively business district, attracting more and more vendors and tourists. Now, this place has become an important commercial center in Guzhen County, and some cultural and commercial activities are held every year.
