In the immigration tide of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in the early Qing Dynasty, because Xujiachang was far away from Shifang in the east and Pengxian in the southwest, and the surrounding towns were scarce, the immigrants who entered Shu at that time were all farming for land reclamation. The old man surnamed Xu, after entering Shu, set up a shed and opened a shop by the water (a tributary of Luoshui). Because the climate is suitable. The land is fertile, the production is abundant, the immigration is increasing gradually, the commodity exchange is increasing, and the business is prosperous. At the beginning, there was a white temple not far from Xu Guyao's shop. Since then, immigrants have built temples here to worship the Great God of Sang Zi, which are called Sixteen Temples. Xujiachang has gradually become a large market town in the county. From the old man surnamed Xu to the establishment of a guild hall and the addition of shops, people have followed suit and called it Xujiachang. In 1930s, it was rich in tobacco leaves and renamed Yunxi Town, located at the foot of Yunhua Mountain and Xishan Mountain, west of Shiting River.
