Other information about Chenjiagou Village

In the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1372), Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered the relocation from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province to Huaiqing Prefecture. Among the immigrants, there is a young man named Chen Bu, whose ancestral home is Dongtuhe Village, Zezhou County, Shanxi Province. After years of disasters in his hometown, he fled to Hongdong, was wrapped in the immigration team with his wife and children, and was taken into Huaiqing House. He settled in the northeast of Wenxian County 10 km, and named the village Chenbuzhuang. Because Chenbuzhuang is low-lying, it is often flooded. In the seventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Chen Bu's banker led him to Changyang Village. This village is located in the southeast of Chenbuzhuang, on the Qingfeng (Qingfeng Ridge) in the west, with the Yellow River in the south and the ridge in the north, which ensures the harvest in drought and flood. Changyang Village has persimmon ditch in the west, north ditch in the east, and ditch surrounded on three sides. With the growth of the Chen family, Changyang Village was renamed Chenjiagou. Until the founding of New China, the name "Gu Changyang" was written on the wedding utensils used by Chenjiagou.

Chenjiagou is the birthplace of Chen Taiji's biography.
