The Origin of Xizhangba Village in Dawangzhai, Shenxian County

The origin of Xizhangba Village is that there is a century-old temple more than ten meters east of Xizhangba Village. It is more than ten feet away from Xizhangba village, so it was named Xizhangba. In 1968, the temple was demolished except for the four old buildings, and the martyrs cemetery was rebuilt in 1971, and the revolutionary martyrs who died heroically during the liberation war were buried in the martyrs cemetery! Every year, leaders from Tomb-Sweeping Day, Liaocheng and Shenxian come to sweep the graves for the martyrs and offer wreaths and baskets. All the villagers in Xizhangba, Tomb-Sweeping Day, will also observe a moment of silence for the heroic grave!
