Historical evolution

Su Lane, formerly known as Doujian temple. In the early Ming Dynasty, Doujian temple was the ancestral hall of the three local surnames Su, Niu and dou. It was the place to deal with clan affairs and land ownership. Every time the ancestral temple was sacrificed, the three families would hold family gatherings. Later, the Su family and the Niu and Dou families filed a lawsuit over the land. The Niu and Dou families lost and gave up their ancestral hall. Therefore, Doujian temple was renamed the Su family temple. Later, because the Su family's streets were narrow and there were roadways left, it was named Su Xiang.
