Xiyu Township is the screen of Pengfu. Since the Three
Kingdoms, followed by Sui and Tang Dynasty, Chinese had been
planned and operated this area. Till Yuan Dynasty, the Court
established Pengfu Patrol Office which included ¡§Xiyutou¡¨ and
was subordinated to Quanzhou, Jinjiang County. In Ming Dynasty,
The Patrol Office was still established; however it was
abolished due to the rampancy of Japanese pirates and
corsairs. The 22nd year of Kangxi in Ching Dynasty,
it belonged to the domain of the Manchu Dynasty and was
instituted to be a Patrol Office. In the fifth year of
Yongzhong in Ching Dynasty, Pengfu Government was established,
and Xiyu Township was under the jurisdiction of Pengfu
Government and was named ¡§Xiyuao¡¨ which has twelve ¡§she (the
society).¡¨ They were Neiqianshe, Waiqianshe, Daguoye,
Dachijiaoshe, Xiaochijiaoshe, Hengjiaoshe, Houluoshe, Erkanshe,
Hejietoushe, Qimawanshe, Zhugaowanshe and Xiaomenshe. The
embryo of the development of villages has been approximately
accomplished. The period under the dominion of Japanese
Government, Xiyuao has been renamed as ¡§Xiyuzhaung.¡¨ After
Taiwan regained the reins of government from Japan, the
Government drew out the organized rules to map out Taiwan,
Counties are under the command of Province; villages and towns
are subordinated to the county, each village has organized some
neighborhoods. In the very beginning, there are eight villages
in Xiyu Township: Heheng Village (Hejie Village, Hengjiao),
Zhuwan Village (Zhugaowan, Xiaomen), Daer Village (Dachijiao,
Erkan), Chidong Village, Chixi Village (Xiaochijiao are divided
into two villages), Chima Village (Qimawan), Neian Village (Neian)
and Waian Village (Waian). Due to the villages of Xiyu Township
were formed naturally, they were seldom changed. The boundaries
are still clear between villages, they are adjacent to each
other by natural terrain. |
