There is also a saying that since the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs built temples and old-age manors here, and because they were called "middle officials" at that time, they called this place "middle official village". Zhongguancun was officially named after liberation.
After liberation, China Academy of Sciences was built here, and it was renamed Zhongguancun at the suggestion of Mr. Chen Yuan, president of Beijing Normal University, because the word "middle official" was not good.
