Because of the flood, the village was submerged in sediment, so the reconstructed village is called "Chen Village", and later evolved into Chen village. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, it belonged to Fuchun township. At the beginning of the Republic of China, it belonged to Chencun Township, Fuchun district. During the Anti Japanese War, it belonged to one district and then three districts. In April 1953, Chen Village Hui Autonomous township was established. In 1956, it belonged to Qiucheng.
