According to archaeological excavations, Kengzi has a long history, and written records about human habitation here began in the middle of Ming Dynasty. In the 30th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (169 1), a Huang family moved from jiangbiancun in Pingshan to Xikeng, and established the Huang Ancestral Hall, which was later called "Old Ancestral Hall". Xikeng is in the south of Kengzi Town, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a big pit in the middle. The nearby areas are collectively called "old pits".
The residents of Xinqiao Wei, the city and Shaliyuan are all separated from Laokeng Village (the "old ancestral hall" of Xikeng), so people collectively call these villages "Kengzi", which means the descendants of Laokeng. Because Zi and Zi are homophonic, later generations changed Kengzi to Kengzi, meaning "Sang" and "Gigi Lai", meaning "Laokeng is the hometown".
