Map of Xingang Village, Puhe Town
The toponymic archives record that the village is also known as Daziying. In the 1980 census of geographical names, it was renamed Xingang Village because of the ethnic discrimination nature of Daziying and because of the high topography of the village.
The "Chronicle of Xincheng Sub-district" records that Xingang Village, Puhe Town, Shenbei New District, Shenyang City, was formerly known as Tarziying (Daziying). At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Ilari clan of the Xibe tribe came here with the Manchu Eight Banner Soldiers to camp and garrison the village, forming a village. Because it belongs to the Xibe ethnic group, the surrounding Han people call it the Tarzi camp. In 1980, in accordance with the spirit of the Notice of the National Census of Geographical Names on Changing Place Names That Insult ethnic minorities, the Tarzi Camp was changed to a new post based on the location of the village on the slope of the hill.

Tibetan (1755-1823), nicknamed Tukshan (Xibe for calf), Illarishi. Qianlong was born on the eighth day of May in the 20th year of Qianlong (1755) to a Xibe family in Daziying (i.e., Tarziying, now Xingang Village) in the northern suburbs of Shengjing (present-day Shenyang). Tibet was an outstanding historical figure among the Xibe people. His life and deeds are well known among the Xibe people and have been passed down from generation to generation.
Tibetan statue inscription
Reliefs around the statue
In the middle of the fourth lunar month of the 29th year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1764), the Qing government transferred more than 4,000 Xibe officers and soldiers from 17 urban and rural areas under Shengjing, along with their families, to garrison the Ili area of Xinjiang. It was a journey of thousands of miles, and the Tibetans, who were only 10 years old, were in the procession of westward migration, and later grew into an outstanding national hero of the Xibe people. He is the only person who has participated in the westward migration of the Xibe people and returned to his hometown in Shenyang, and is the emotional bond between the Xibe people in Shenyang and Xinjiang.
The most remarkable historical feat of Tibet is to lead the people to build the Chabuchar Canal. After six years, it finally dug a large canal of more than 200 miles in the thirteenth year of Jiaqing (1808), newly reclaimed more than 70,000 acres of land, and then harvested every year, and the originally deserted wilderness villages were facing each other and connected to each other.
Because the cliff of the Longkou of the Great Canal is called Qabchar, which is similar to the Xibe language "granary", it is called the Qabchar Canal. The Xibe soldiers and civilians of Ili regarded Tibet as a national hero and benefactor, and they were praised and revered from generation to generation.

The picture above is the 222-page and 223-page record of the "Shenyang City Cultural Relics Chronicle" published by Shenyang Publishing House in 1993 about the "Tombstone of the Xibe Ilari Clan of Daziying"
The monument was originally located in Daziying Village, Puhe Township, Shenbei New District, Shenyang City, 2 meters deep under a small bridge, and was found during the 1982 cultural relics census. The stele is complete, the head of the stele is semi-circular, and the length of the stele is about 1. 5 meters, width about 0. 7 meters, thickness of about 0. 2 meters. Because the stele is pressed under the bridge, only the exposed side can be seen, and the inscription numbers 10 lines and 178 characters, of which 29 words are pressed under the stone pillar and cannot be recognized. This stele was carved in 1911 (the third year of the Qing Dynasty) and is a tombstone erected by the Ilari clan of the Xibe tribe for its ancestors. The inscription records that the Ilari clan moved from the twin cities to the north of Shenyang city dazi camp in the year of Kangxi, and was incorporated into the Zhenglan Banner, which is the third leader of Manchuria and the name of the ancestor buried in his camp, this stele records the historical facts of the southward migration of the Xibe and the integration of various ethnic groups, and is a precious cultural relic for studying the history of the Xibe and the history of ethnic minorities in Northeast China. Some people say that after the excavation of the monument, it was exhibited at the Xibe Westward Migration Museum in Shenbei New District.
The Xibe Museum in China displays a replica of the tombstone of the Xibe Ilari clan in Daziying
The stele was included in the "Xibe Volume of the General Catalogue of Ancient Books of Chinese Ethnic Minorities", and the name of the entry was "Tombstone of the Xibe Ilari Clan of Daziying".
The Yilari clan was later changed to the Han surnames Yi and Yi, and individually changed to Hu.
