What is the mythical origin of village names in Zhu Fang?

A long time ago, there was a young man and a young woman who were very close. The two sides promised to be husband and wife and didn't talk about any wedding gifts. There is a contract passed down from generation to generation that they must find bamboo or knotted wood. They must find the same thing. When they find it, they will get married. From the day the contract was signed, the young couple searched for bamboo and knot wood from morning till night. They searched and searched, and a year passed, and Guangdong and Guangxi provinces searched almost everywhere, but they still couldn't find it. They are dejected and despondent, thinking: It seems impossible to get married, and their contract cannot be destroyed! I intend to be a monk for men and a nun for women. The pure love of young people is known by a fairy. She is willing to help them do good deeds, plant square bamboo on the top of a big village in the western hills, and tell young people how to find them in their dreams at night. Early the next morning, the young couple found Chimonobambusa bambusa at the top of the big village. They finally got married. At present, there are still traces of square bamboo roots on the top of Dacun Mountain, and there is also a village called Zhu Fang in Xishan Mountain. The legendary Phyllostachys pubescens in the Western Hills is on the top of the Luo umbrella named Dacun Mountain in the north of Zhufang Village in Shika Town today. At the southern foot of this mountain is Chalatun in Zhufang Village. Xishan village was the only village name at the beginning. With the development of population, the village grew bigger and bigger, and then it was divided into two villages. Zhufang Village was originally a tea-scented village, but it has changed from a magical bamboo to a general name for Zhufang Village. Zhufang Village and xishan village are closely linked, and the junction is now Xishan tail. These two villages have a population of over 10,000. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were many flies and jumping insects in the mountains around xishan village, which harassed villagers day and night and even endangered many people's lives. Therefore, in order to survive, the villagers had to kowtow to the ancestors of the gods, hoping to cure the mountain worms, eliminate disasters and live a stable life. One day, an old man with a long beard and white hair appeared on the edge of the village, holding a bamboo pole and ducks, all white. When the ducks swam, they saw a big duck the size of a fist, but when they reached the shore, it weighed five or six kilograms. These ducks don't eat vegetables or grains. Instead, they start from Qixing Mountain (located in the northwest of xishan village, which consists of seven sitting mountains) every day, catch insects and eat flies around the mountains around Xishan Mountain, and return to Zhong Ling at night. Every day, never stop. After 7749 days of catching, all the flies and jumping insects were eaten up by the white ducks. At noon on the forty-ninth day, the white-haired old man caught the white duck on the top of the umbrella in Dacun. He inserted the bamboo pole for driving ducks into the cracks in the stone, and the white ducks rested around the bamboo pole. Later, the old man on the mountain disappeared, and the white duck disappeared, but the bamboo pole inserted in the crack of the stone disappeared and became a green square bamboo. Since the appearance of Chimonobambusa bambusa, people and animals in xishan village have flourished. People in xishan village regard this kind of square bamboo as a magic bamboo to cure evil spirits. The bamboos in the western hills are famous for this. It is said that when the Japanese invaded China, they came to Xishan and heard that there was a bamboo in Xishan, so the Japanese dug it up. As for the legend of Tetragonal Bamboo, after liberation, some roots of Tetragonal Bamboo were found on the mountain.
