Legend has it that when Cao Cao was stationing troops in Beiping City during his lifetime, he once said that he wanted to build a beautiful house one hundred and fifty miles east of Qiao to study. Because he was busy with the war, this move was repeatedly shelved. After Cao Cao died, in order to commemorate him, his descendants followed Cao Cao's wishes and built this ancestral hall for him in Beiping City. The original name of Cao Market was Caodian. Because Cao Cao's ancestral temple was built in Hongsu City (i.e. Beiping City), city and ancestral hall were homophonic. Over time, it was transformed from Cao Ancestral Hall into Cao City.
