\u25e6 The Past of Gangshan<\/span><\/h6>\n

Have you ever heard of the \"Agongdian Reservoir\"? I was curious whether it was a store owned by a grandfather or a store visited by grandfathers. It wasn't until I learned about the evolution of Gangshan's place names that I discovered the interesting origin of \"Agongdian.\"<\/p>\n

Long ago, Gangshan was a desolate plain covered with thatch (also called \"zhenzi\"). Thus, the area was known as \"Ganzhenlin.\" Coincidentally, it was also a midpoint rest stop between Tainan and Zuoying. An elderly man built a thatched hut by the roadside and started selling tea and groceries, offering travelers a place to relax. In honor of this elderly man, people called him \"Agong\" (grandfather) and his hut \"Dian\" (store), hence the name \"Agongdian.\" During the Japanese colonial period, the governor-general of Taiwan used the nearby large and small Gangshan as landmarks. Since \"Gangshan\" sounded similar to Okayama in Japan, it was officially renamed \"Gangshan\" in 1920 and has retained the name to this day.<\/p>\n

During the Pacific War, Japan established an air base here, transforming Gangshan into an important military stronghold. In addition to housing the Air Force Academy, many air military dependent villages were also built.<\/p>\n

The Air Force Flight School was established in 1962. After completing its mission, it was disbanded in 1968, and its flight training tasks were integrated into the Air Force Academy.<\/p>\n

After the war, the Nationalist Government took over Gangshan Airport and its facilities. In 1949, the Air Force Academy, Air Force Communications School, and Air Force Mechanical School were successively relocated to Gangshan. To accommodate the large number of Air Force officers, soldiers, and their families who had moved to Taiwan, 18 dependent villages were built. The dormitory of the 61st Air Factory workers was renovated into one of these villages, providing housing for flight instructors and their families. To honor the Air Force's legacy, the village was named \"Xing Village.\"<\/p>\n\n\t\t
