In 1904 AD, General Yigu of Suiyuan of the Qing government carried out large-scale reclamation in Zhungar Banner. Taiji Danpil, the Assistant Prime Minister of East Asia, made a request to the Bureau of Reclamation to stop reclamation, but was rejected. When reclamation officials went to Jungar Banner to reclaim land, they used force to injure people, arousing public outrage. The various anti-reclamation teams in Jungar Banner, under the leadership of Associate Councilor Taiji Danpil, also received support from neighboring banner counties and merged into a full-banner anti-reclamation force. They fought in Luobogou, Lama Cave, Leopard The Qing troops armed with muskets, bows and arrows and quick guns fought hard in the tower and other places. They repelled the Qing's attacks many times and retreated to defend Baozi Tower. The Qing troops increased their troops to encircle and suppress the tower but failed. In February 1906, on the eve of the 30th night of the Lunar New Year, Danpiler and others went to pay New Year greetings and came back drunk. They relaxed their vigilance and Yigu's army took advantage of the situation. Danpiler's troops fought hard and suffered heavy casualties. Outnumbered, Danpil and others were captured and sent to Guihua City (Hohhot), where they were imprisoned and severely tortured. Later, Danpil and his family were brutally murdered. Danpil was sentenced to death, and his head was hung in Guihua City. The most tragic and tragic scene of the anti-reclamation movement in Inner Mongolia’s modern history was staged. If there were no written records of historical data, when people see this lonely stone village today, who would think that a blood-stained battle took place here. It was also because of the dangerous terrain of Baozi Pagoda, with the river wide and overhanging walls, that one man was in charge of the gate, and ten thousand people could not get in. When Danpile was defeated, he decided to retreat here in order to protect the Baozi Pagoda, which caused this bloody disaster to Baozi Pagoda.

It is said that in ancient times, Baozita Village had outstanding people, good weather and good weather, and was very wealthy, while the surrounding villages were extremely poor. Living in the same world, the rich and the poor are completely different, and people around them are very puzzled. Then some villagers asked Mr. Yin and Yang to reveal the answer to the mystery. It turned out that the excellent Feng Shui of this treasure land had been taken care of by "Baozi". According to Mr. Yin Yang's instructions, the surrounding villagers renamed the villages with the word "mouth", which means steamed buns for meals. At that time, seventy-two mouth-shaped steamed buns including "Dongcheng Mouth", "Xicheng Mouth" and "Parrot Mouth" appeared. tower. Similarly, in order to maintain feng shui, pray for prosperity for generations, a prosperous population, and avoid the bad luck of decline, the villagers of Baozi Tower quickly asked an immortal to mold a clay god beside the village, deliberately exposing the thick male penis, with the intention of attracting the "gluttons" around them. They compete to eat this food, making it difficult for them to eat the buns, let alone taste the steamed buns. Therefore, the ancestors here called this kind of totem worship "seeking gods". At that time, they continued to worship, but today it is just a joke.
