According to the Records of Hefei County, Cao Zhi, the second son of Wang Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, was named Zijian. At that time, he was one of the "Eight Scholars" in the literary world, and his literary talent was outstanding. He is known as "writing a stone in the world, and the purple sword wins eight fights alone." He was stationed here with his father when he cut Shu (called Yushan in ancient times). In the year of drought, the dam cracked, the ditches were cut off and the streets were deeply mired. In order to commemorate him, later generations named Badouling in Yushan after Cao Zhi's mausoleum, and because the area is located in the Jianghuai watershed, it was later renamed Badouling. 1992, the district was withdrawn and merged into the township, and Badou Town was established, which is famous in ancient and modern times and far and near.
