According to legend Qing Dynasty During the Jiaqing period, the White Lotus Rebel Army moved to Sichuan and Shaanxi. Under the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Qing army, they were defeated. After several breakouts, they fought back to the mountainous areas of northwest Hubei to preserve their strength.

When passing a village at the foot of Saiwudang Mountain, it was getting late. In order not to disturb the people, the rebels decided to build a stone wall here overnight and set up camp on the spot.

The next day, nearby people discovered that the deserted riverbank had turned into a large village with stone walls more than three feet high overnight. Moreover, there are many rebels stationed in the village.

The rebels stationed here for several days, and did not harm the common people. They also killed the rich, helped the poor, and opened granaries to release grain, which won the support of the common people.

But the leading troops of the Qing army who were chasing after them encircled and suppressed them again from Shaanxi.

In the situation where we are outnumbered, the leader of the rebel army Wang Conger analyzed the situation and decided to attack the advanced vanguard of this lonely army first, kill its prestige and weaken its spirit, and then move. The rebels adopted the strategy of capturing the thief first and capturing the king first. They set up an ambush in Eryangou with favorable terrain in advance, and then attacked the official army's central military tent at night, killing the commander first. The Qing army was leaderless, in chaos, and scattered in all directions. The rebels took the opportunity to move smoothly.

After the rebels moved, the village where they once camped was called Yingzi, and it has been used to this day.
