Since childhood, I have heard old people talk about the origin of the sheep farm.

In the early days of liberation, the sheep farm was also called "walnut tree", because in front of the courtyard was a row of towering walnut trees, I don't know who planted it, and the history is relatively long.

Every summer evening, men, women and children from the village gather under this tree to chat and enjoy the shade. Uncle said: Our ancestral home is the vast Chaomen Zhushi Lane of Jiangxi Lake, which was settled here at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Listen to the oral tradition of the ancestors: during the Republic of China, it was also called "Anjiawuji", in the early Ming Dynasty, it was called "Anjiafu", and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was called "Anjiazhuang".

During the Yuan Dynasty, the sheep farm belonged to the Eight Xuan Xuan Si Anpu Xuan Fu Division, at that time, the sheep farm was still a place where ancient trees towered to the sky, wild beasts gathered, there was a turbulent water, the river that resembled a dragon (name: Huanlong Creek) flowed eastward around this place.

At that time, there was a long pass through this place to Anshun Mansion to sell salt, cloth for a living in the ancient city of Pingyuan Yi businessman Angong, found that there is a terrain here like a cornucopia, surrounded by stones composed of stone mountains entrenched around this basin, like a stone dragon mouth with a jewel to the sky soaring stone dragon (name: stone dragon spit pearl), and the opposite side of this place is echoing the dragon stream, a stone dragon, a water dragon seems to guard the "cornucopia". An Gong thought to himself, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, this place is a blessed land! In the coming month, he brought his family and entourage to build a mansion to open up wasteland, build roads and dig canals, and build a fertile soil.

With the passage of time, to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there are several acres of fertile land, hundreds of An's descendants, there are places to store grain, there are horses to put the field, there are luxurious mansions, the name is called: Anjia Mansion (the mansion is built in the place of Chen Ai's handmade noodle factory on Yangchang Street today).

Because the Ming Dynasty was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, some people who were related to the officials of the Yuan Dynasty came here by mistake to make a living in order to avoid the pursuit of the Ming army. One of Temujin's descendants came here and changed his surname to Yu in order to hide people's eyes. The surname Arita and the surname Chen who migrated from here one after another. Over time, a peaceful place has been formed with the An family as the dominant and the foreign surname as the supplement, and the civil disputes are all mediated by the Anjia government.

More people will naturally form a trade market, so the land is the only place for the trading of daily necessities of the surrounding people, mainly by the Anjia government to sell salt and cloth, the common people buy and sell grain, cattle and sheep, so it is named "sheep farm".

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was called the sheep farm county, which belonged to Anshun Mansion, and the descendants of Angong were also responsible for governing all the local affairs of the sheep farm. The Anfu kept the sheep farms in good order, and every other month it had to send people to carry grain out for trading, in exchange for cloth, salt, and the necessities of life. Come back and exchange it with a local farmer on the day of the market. At that time, there was no place name of Yanjiao, and the prosperous place of Yanjiao Town is still a primeval forest, also known as: Black Sheep Daqing, there is no mountain trail feasible, high mountains are towering everywhere, towering trees are shrouded, and the valley bottom is a big river rolling to the east roaring away. (The traffic arteries between Yangchang and the outside world are: the path at the Yuxing Wenhuo shop on Yangchang Street goes to Banbian Tomb, Changchongpo, Longjia Tomb West to Nayong, Pingyuan Ancient City, and Dafang Xuanwei Mansion.) Through half of the tomb, the mouth of the stone wall, the manger well, the east of the Diga out of Puding Road, Anshun Mansion. ）
