The origin of Meicheng in Youxian County:

The county seat of Youxian County was called "Meicheng" in ancient times. Hou Liang moved from Youxian to this site in the Five Dynasties. According to legend, there was a scholar who took the exam at that time. Because I like plum blossoms very much, I asked buddhist nun to bring a bowl of plum blossoms. When he handed over the county, he accidentally broke the plum blossom bowl, and the scholar planted plum blossoms by the river with heartache. A few years later, the scholar became a scholar and became an official in Beijing.

On one occasion, he visited various counties and came to Youxian, and he did not forget to look at this plum tree. This story touched a magistrate, who advocated the residents of the county to plant plum trees. During his administration, the number of plum trees in the county increased gradually. According to historical records, the county towns in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty were all covered with plum trees, and the county administration was nicknamed "Meicheng". In the second year of Qingganlong (1737), the county seat was directly called "Meicheng Town". Although there were changes in the late Qing Dynasty, it was renamed as "Meicheng Town" on 1947.

The long history of planting plum blossoms in Meicheng has produced a heavy cultural atmosphere. Feng Zizhen, a native of Youxian County in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, not only observed plum blossoms for a long time, but also had a deep and enthusiastic hobby. His Hundred Plum Blossom Poems was praised by many cultural celebrities in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the thirty-seventh year of Qing Qianlong, his Hundred Plum Blossom Poems was included in Sikuquanshu.
