Second, the historical background of Ciqikou The earliest name of Ciqikou was Baiyanchang, which began in the Xianping period of Song Zhenzong (998- 1003) because there was a Baiyan Temple here.
In the fourth year of Wenjian in Ming Dynasty, Wen Jian Emperor Zhu Yunwen was usurped by his fourth uncle Judy, and escaped from the palace to become a monk. When he lived in Bayu area, he had been hiding in Baolun Temple on Baiyan Mountain for four or five years.
When the world knew about it, it renamed Baolun Temple as Longyin Temple and Baiyanchang as Long Yin Town, because the real Dragon Emperor once lived in seclusion here. In the early years of Qing Dynasty, porcelain became the main industry of Long Yin Town for a long time.
19 18, local porcelain merchants raised funds to set up a "Shu Porcelain Factory" in Qingcaopo, the town, which was exported to Sichuan. Later, with the progress of technology, the variety of porcelain increased and its reputation expanded.
In Long Yin Town, there were more than 70 porcelain industries at the most developed time. During the Republic of China, Chongqing became the capital.
