After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne, he built a village for his father Liu Xuan in Liyi, the eastern suburb of Chang'an City, now Lintong District, Xi'an City, according to the appearance of his hometown. Liu Bang's birthplace is "Peifengyi Zhongyangli", which is in Fengxian County, Xuzhou today. In 197 B.C., in July of the tenth year of Gaozu, "Emperor Taishang collapsed the Liyang Palace", Liu Bang issued an edict: "Change the name to Liyi and say Xinfeng." ”

The "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" records this new countryside as follows:

The emperor of Chang'an, living in the deep palace, was sad and unhappy. Gao Zu stole because of the left and right to ask the reason, to the good of life, all slaughter and sell teenagers, drunk and sell cakes, cockfights and bows, this is a pleasure, now there is no this, so to be unhappy. Gaozu is a new abundance, moving to the old people, and the emperor is happy. Therefore, Xinfeng is a scoundrel, and there are no well-dressed children. When Gaozu was young, he often sacrificed to the shrine of the elm. and moved Xinfeng, but also standing. Emperor Gao was both Xinfeng, and moved the old society, Quxiang Dongyu, looking for the old. Scholars and women, old and young, join hands with the head of the road, and each knows its room. Dogs, sheep, chickens and ducks are herded in Tongtu, and they also compete for their homes. Its craftsman Hu Kuan is also camped. Those who move are pleased with its resemblance and virtue, so they compete for rewards, and the rest of the month accumulates hundreds of gold.

Liu Bang is a filial son, and he was very anxious when he saw that his father was depressed because he missed the farmhouse. If it is the son of an ordinary family, he will accompany his father back to his hometown to live for a few days when he is older. But he is the emperor, he can rebuild a village, even the old folks moved over, "move the old people to the truth", and it is highly realistic, chickens, dogs, ducks and sheep can find their own homes, the emperor is mighty, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. It's just that this village doesn't pay much attention to cultural construction, "so Xinfeng is a lot of scoundrels, and there are no well-dressed children." The well-dressed children refer to well-educated young people, and Liu Bang should really build a Hope Primary School and a Hope Middle School at that time. He despised the joy of reading all his life, and he respected the land since he was a child. "When Gaozu was young, he often sacrificed to the shrine of the elm", the society is the land temple, and the elm is the name of a township in his hometown, so when the new village was built, the land lord of his hometown was also invited.

Hu Kuan is an architect, he restored the new village to such a point, repairing the old as the old, and conveying the form is also expressive, which is a generous gesture, and it is deserved to receive some gift money.

Regarding Liu Bang's father, Liu Xuan, there are two specific things, which are recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and Ban Gu's "Book of Han". First, Liu Bang is not the seed he sowed. "My father is called Taigong, and my mother is called Liu Yuan. First of all, Liu Yuan tasted Daze, and met God in a dream. When the thunder and lightning were obscure, the prince looked at it, and saw the dragon on it. has a body, and then gave birth to a high ancestor. "Osawa no Bi" means lakeside. "Taigong looked at it", he saw the process of his wife's divine friendship with his own eyes, and the official history dared to write like this, which is really the pride of the historian.

Second, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, Liu Xuan was also strict with his son, and Liu Bang set up an official position, "Taigong Family Order", that is, the director of the Taigong Office. Although the emperor is a son, he is the master, and although the prince is a father, so is the minister. However, let the lord worship the ministers! In this way, it will not be majestic. "If you know what you are wrong, you can change it. Liu Bang issued an edict that "people's closest relatives are not close to father and son...... The kings, the marquis, the generals, the secretaries, and the doctors have respected me as the emperor, and the prince has no name, and now the prince is called the emperor. Liu Xuan became the first person in Chinese history to be revered as the Emperor Taishang. Liu Bang is eclectic in building the country and governing the country, and he is also innovative enough in governing the family.

Xinfeng Village was built by the light of the emperor and is a village directly under the jurisdiction of the state. The external construction is first-class, but the chickens and dogs are settled, and the people's hearts are unsettled. Liu Bang's original intention to build this village is not in the hearts of the people, he is doing his filial piety, and the whole village is helping him to fulfill his filial piety. So a hundred years after his father, the village was almost dead.
