Historical records

Tang and Song Dynasties, Suiyang District baogongmiao Township wangjiaji. In 1046 A.D., there was a severe drought. From Tokyo (Kaifeng) to Nanjing (Shangqiu) along the Bianhe River, there was no grain harvest. Bao Zheng, who loved the people like a son, went deep into the people to observe the situation of the people. Yongding Township, the junction of the four provinces in Songcheng (Shangqiu), suffered the most serious disaster. The "hungry people" stopped their sedan chairs and called for Bao Zheng's help. Bao Zheng asked the rich families and officials in all counties to open warehouses and release grain to relieve the victims. Later, he executed the "nanbatian", who oppressed the people and committed heinous crimes, in accordance with the law, and exempted taxes in the year of the disaster. In the seventh year of the Qing Dynasty, Bao Zheng was promoted from the fifth grade to the third grade, and his red robe changed into purple robe. Song city (Shangqiu) is known as "Baogong Temple" because "the people feel their virtue and voluntarily donate money and goods, and set up a temple at the bridge to worship". Later, Baogong Temple became a local name, which has a history of more than 900 years.
