Confucius once watched the ceremony in Win City, and there is now a monument to Confucius in the ceremony. It is said that in 544 BC, the duke of Wu sent an envoy to the state of Qi, and on the way back, the eldest son died and was buried between Yinbo, and Confucius went to watch the funeral. In the second year of The Ming Dynasty, Fu Guobi, the governor of Laiwu County, erected a stele of "Confucius Guan Li Office" in the southeast of Kou Town, which was engraved in yin, with clear handwriting and strong penmanship.

The Laiyi and Mou (good at domesticating cattle) were the first to successfully breed wheat and barley varieties, and named these two millet crops "Lai" and "Mou" after their clan names. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Laimu" and "Laiwu" have been used together as a synonym for high-quality grain. After several evolutions, the Han Dynasty "Laimu" began as the name of "Laiwu" County.

Bo Yi was the ancestor of the winning surname and a sage. Boyi (c. 21st century BC) is also known as Bo Yi and so on, also known as Dafei.
