#1.Wenshan area about
the origin
There are many theories about the origin of the name of the new store. One of the sayings mentioned in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, Lin Zhangcun and others from Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, set up huts beside the road leading to Wulai Mountain and Chushankou River Terraces, opened stores to sell groceries or exchanged with the mountain aborigines. Goods, and gradually developed into a shop street. At that time, because the shop did not have an official name, passers-by used to call it "Xindian" in order to distinguish it from the lower Dianzi Street (shop street, referring to today’s Dapinglin area), and it became the name of the place[1][2][3] . However, there is another saying that Lin Zhangcun’s shop was destroyed in the flood and was later rebuilt. In order to distinguish it from the original old shop, it was called the "new shop"[1].
The other is that during the Jiaqing and Daoguang reigns, Chen Hefa, Li Xiangji and others jointly recruited Quanzhou tenant farmers to cultivate in Taiwan. The newly arrived immigrants expelled the local aboriginal Atayal tribe to Wantan (a meandering terrain formed by Xindian River after entering the plain area, located on the south side of Bitan), and the east bank of Bitan is equivalent to today’s Xindong and Xinxi Shops were built at the Erli location and gradually developed into a shopping street. In order to distinguish it from Dianzi Street in Dapinglin, it was called "Xindian"[1].
The last comment is that the development of Xindian was initiated by the government. In the 11th year of Guangxu (1885), the Fuken branch was set up in the Quchi area (now Quchili) in the upper reaches of the Xindian River, as a contact with the Atayal aborigines. The place of transaction, and it is called "new store" [1].
As for the name of Xindian for the first time as an official administrative unit, it was during the Japanese Occupation Period in 1909 that the Japanese set up Xindian Branch in this area, and later renamed Xindianzhuang in 1920 and upgraded to Xindian Street in 1943. . After the end of the Second World War, the government of the Republic of China took over Taiwan and renamed the area Xindian Town until July 1, 1980, when it was reorganized into Xindian City in response to the increase in population. As Taipei County was upgraded to New Taipei City on December 25, 2010, Xindian City was also restructured into Xindian District[3][1].
Compared with the area called "Dapinglin" in the eastern half of Xindian, the western half of Xindian is commonly known as "Ankeng"; Ankeng is located in the valley area on the west bank of Xindian River. This area was called "Ankengzai" in the early days; it was due to the lush forests here, and later it was renamed "Ankeng" because the word "dark" was unlucky.
Xindian was once the second-largest county-administered city in Taiwan[b] and the largest county-administered city in the original Taipei County.
