The village of Hsia Li is compact and concentrated. Prior to the arrival and development of the Han people, it belonged to the land of head of A Tong Community, Ti Liu. In the early days of Emperor Yong Cheng and Chien Lung's reign of the Great Ching Dynasty, Chih Shen Yang Family, great landlord of Chang Hua and Shih Hsiang Chang Family, great landlord of today's Yun Lin and Taipei County developed the land. At that time, the village, joining Ting Li Village was called 30 Plough, that is, they had farmed lands of 150 Chias. The Yangs' and the Changs' recruited tenants and concentrated beside today's Po Ya drainage ditch. At the beginning, it was called Ti Liu Chuang, which was named after the above –mentioned head of A T ung Community, Ti Liu.Estimatedly, the village was renamed Hsia Pi Chuang in the reign of Emperor Tao Kuang and Hsien Feng, as opposed to Ting Li.Clearly, the village got its name of Hsia Pi because it was located at the lower part of 30-Plough.
To pay taxes to the landlord, the harvest of the tenants growing rice or dry crops were transported to Lu Kang from the south side of today's Ching Shan Palace Lady Mother and the north bank of Po Ya drainage ditch (Fa Tsai intersection, on the southern edge of village between the 5 th and 6 th neighborhoods) via Ching Ho, Lu Kang using commercial boats and the rice as the taxes were collected at the Kung Kuan located at north of Hsia Li of the 5 th neighborhood before they were shipped out.
