The name source of Ciqikou in Chongqing
Ciqikou was built in the Xianping period of Song Zhenzong (AD 998). According to legend, in the early years of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jun was forced to cut his hair, became a monk in Chongqing and lived in Baolun Temple in seclusion, so the original "Baiyan Town" was renamed as "Long Yin Town". In the early years of Qing dynasty, Ciqikou was named after its rich transshipment porcelain. As an important land and water wharf on Jialing River, its rich and simple ancient style, which remains unchanged for thousands of years, makes it the epitome and symbol of Jiangzhou ancient city in Chongqing. "Thousands of people hold hands during the day and thousands of lights at night." Ciqikou, which flourished for a while, is known as "Little Chongqing". Ciqikou is named for producing porcelain. 19 18, local businessmen raised funds to establish "Shu Porcelain Factory" in Qingcaopo. Porcelain has good quality, many varieties and growing fame, and its products are exported to both inside and outside the province. Gradually, the name "Ciqikou" replaced "Long Yin Town". More than 20 ancient kiln sites have been discovered.
