This is a traditional story told by Mr. Ma Qianfa of Luobozhai Village. The contents of the story are as follows. Why is our village called Luobo Village (Turnip Village) now? Turnip Village used to be called "Shunfu Village" (rich and prosperous village) because the people of the village were rich. Later, a person named Wang Qiang became the leader of Shunfu Village. He was a bully, did not pay taxes, did not obey the orders of superiors, and did things his own way. He managed the entire "Shunfu Village" in this way, even to the point where the superiors couldn’t manage the situation. As a result, "Shunfu Village" was given a new name called "Laohuzhai" (Tiger Village). Once, when it was time to pay taxes again, Wang Qian was unwilling to pay taxes, and his superior sent two soldiers to arrest Wang Qian. Wang Qian was about to put the horses, he wore a hat on his head and a bow and arrow on his back. After the two soldiers came, he asked the two soldiers: "What are you going to see?" The two soldiers replied: "We are going to find Wang Qian, is he home?" Wang Qian lied to them and said, "Mr. Wang Qian has gone far away. I am Mr. Wang Qian's horseman. Now I am helping him free his horse." Look at me, I can kill the eagle in the sky with a bow and arrow. When he came down, he took out a bow and arrow to shoot the eagle down, and fell directly in front of the two soldiers. The two soldiers were so scared because they thought Wang Qian's horseman was so powerful, they ran away quickly. After that, the superior sent more than a dozen people to the "Tiger Village", and Mr. Wang Qian thought of a way to escape. He surrounded the whole village with bundles of firewood. From a distance, it looked like it was full of people .A lot of charcoal was burned. After the dozen or so soldiers arrived, they observed Tiger Village from a few kilometers away from the village. As expected, they regarded the firewood as human beings, and exclaimed: "There are so many people here, and even the charcoal has been burnt so much. Surely we can’t defeat this village" This time they failed to catch Mr. Wang Qian. After that, it alarmed the leaders of the state, and the state arranged a lot of troops, divided into two large-scale offensives on "Tiger Village '', one attacked from the front of the village, and the other attacked from the back of the village. When Wang Qian learned the news, he ran away and disappeared. And the villagers who don't know anything are still busy as before, with their farmwork and chopping wood. Those soldiers were very angry when they didn't find General Wang Qian, and said, "Kill all these people ruled by General Wang Qian." They started the killing, and the blood ran into rivers. After returning, the report said: "This time is completely peaceful. We cut the villagers of "Tiger Village'' to pieces like radishes. They dare not be the people of Shunliang." As a result, "Tiger Village'' was renamed "Turnip Village''.
