Important historic characters
Tsao
Chin |
| |
The famous historical hero was Tsao Chin, the mayor of Fengshan
County in Ching Dynasty. |
 |
| |
He worked hard and took good care of residents during his five-year
term (1837-1841). He dug a water passage, a headrace, and channeled
water from Chiu-Chu Pond and thousands of hectares offields lacking
of water benefited from it. This allowed two harvests a yearinstead
of one harvest a year. The residents were all live in harmony, andthat
explained why the headrace was called "Tsao-Kung Ditch".

He died in Ho-Nan Province in 1849. In order to show their appreciation,
the residents built "Tsang-Kung Shrine" in Feng-Yi Academy,
which sits next to the county government, in 1860. They also hung
a tablet to tell others how great he was! The shrine now sits on Tsau-Kung
Rd. in Fengshan City. |
