Bade's Charm comes from her good-natured and unrefined folkways. From here you can feel a continuous stream of vitality flowing in the suburban fields, in the flourishing downtown where it becomes a joint of tradition and modernization. She merges the deserved feature of a rural town, which is reluctant to part with the traditional rural easiness, comfort and affection, while not neglecting to catch up with the high-speed Knowledge Age's new fashion-oriented, variation-oriented and competitiveness enhancement of the ideological trend as well.       There are several transition processes in the origin of "Bade". Formerly Bade was called "Bede Chu" (eight houses, Fukien dialect). Some people said that it was called "Bede Chu" because there were eight families who had built their houses here. These houses then became a village around the 12th year of Chien-Lung (1747) of the Ching Dynasty. The others said that there were altogether eight surnames of settlers who reclaimed the land from southern Fukien in the 10th year of Chien Lung, and it was called "Bede Chu" because each surname had built a house. There is another version: this place was reclaimed in the 6th year of Chien Lung of the Ching Dynasty, and the whole area was divided into Front Village, Back Village, Rice Courtyard, Joint Cities, Old City, Outer City, Residentia Mansion, and Rental Warehouse, hence there was the wording of "Bede Chu". As to "Bede Chu", in 1920 it was once renamed "Bede", and then again to "Bade" (the pronunciation is similar to "Bede" in the Fukien dialect) in 1936. Afterwards, the city experienced various administrative division reforms and was renamed Bade Village, Taoyuan County in April 1946, and finally was the formally reformed Bade City on January 1, 1995.       The Bade City agriculture is developed mainly in delicate rice and vegetables, and it still preserves the national treasure -"wild-grown rice". The city flower of Bade is King Ixora, while the camphor tree is the city tree, which stand in great numbers on both sides of the roadway, and could be seen everywhere in the city. Owing to the simple and primitive nature, everyone here possesses a heart of gold that allows them to preserve, in a godly and affectionate mood, each view, each substance, each flower and each tree of Bade. Compared to the gorgeous and noisy metropolis, Bade City's primitive manners are more intense and interesting. The city's profound connotation is constantly being interpreted, whether it's the centennial mansion, the long-standing temple, or even the legend of the old Red Cedar, all these talk-about has enhanced the city with an enduring and infinite fascination.
