History and Culture of Hepo Town
Hepo Town, the county seat of Jiexi County, was named in memory of a kind old woman.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was a desolate place. But it is also the traffic artery of Lufeng, Wuhua, Jieyang and Puning. Every time people come here, they are often thirsty, but it is not easy to find a drink.

One day, an old woman named He came here and set up a hut and a stove here. First, she cooked a pot of rice with selected white rice. Pour tea leaves, peanuts, sesame seeds, bitter thorns and other things into a pottery bowl and mash them with a "tea stick". However, in the morning, pour the fried shrimp, dried radish, cabbage and rice into a pottery bowl, then soak it in boiling water and stir it, and it will be fragrant. Mrs. He started selling Hakka tea here.

Passers-by came here exhausted. Walking into the hut and drinking a bowl of fragrant and refreshing tea can satisfy both hunger and thirst. So, people rushed to tell each other: "Hepo's tea is really delicious!" Everyone in the countryside knows that when something happens, they always say hello to their relatives and friends: "Go! Go to the river slope to drink a bowl! "

People with economic minds look at it: yes! There are many people walking around here, which is a good place to do business. So, this one put a basket of eggs and that one sold several dishes. There are more people selling things, and a market is formed. However, this market has never had a name. People who want to go are always used to saying, "Go to Hope." Later, people simply took "Hepo" as a place name, and later I don't know why "he" was written as "he".
