Why did Lu Yi pretend to be Lao Tzu's hometown?

Lu Yi, Henan Province "impersonates" Lao Tzu's hometown for the following reasons:

Luyi County in Henan Province is adjacent to Guoyang County in Anhui Province. A long time ago, Lu Yi belonged to Anhui Province, a region and Guoyang County. However, due to the new regional division, the land in Lu Yi is now divided into Henan Province. The reason why I don't know the specific birthplace of Laozi is because of the story of a palace related to Laozi.

A long time ago, ancient kings worshipped Laozi's thoughts and achievements. So at the junction of Luyi County and Guoyang County, a super-large palace was built to commemorate Laozi. Dongguan in Luyi County and Xiguan in Guoyang County are connected, but later, the palace was destroyed.

So there are only Laojuntai in Luyi County, Taiqing Palace and Dongtaiqing Palace in Guoyang County. Therefore, Luyi County is the main reserved area of the original palace, so it is also the main area of Laozi's hometown. Lu Yiren was also right when he said that "Lu Yi is the hometown of Laozi".
