What is the origin of the name of Xiangshan Villa in Bai Gongguan, Chongqing?

Chongqing Bai Gongguan was originally the suburban villa of Sichuan warlord Bai Ju. Bai Ju claimed to be a descendant of Bai Juyi and borrowed Bai Juyi's nickname "Xiangshan Jushi" to name the villa "Xiangshan Villa".

In 1939, Dai Li, the head of the military reunification secret service, spent a lot of money to buy it and transformed it into a prison for persecuting revolutionaries.

In 1943, the Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute was established. Bai Gongguan served as the third guest house of the Sino-US Cooperation Institute, and the detainees were moved to the nearby Zhazi Cave. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Bai Gongguan was used as a special detention center. In the spring of 1947, the "inmates" in Zhazidong were moved back to Bai Gongguan for detention.
