Nanchuang Township has always lived off the hills on which it settles, with its residents working in lumber, bamboo and mining, and devoting their spare time to raising chickens, pigs and cows. There was never a lot of money about, but people did not have to worry about going short.
小鄉村名叫南庄鄉，靠山吃山，從久遠以來，鄉的居民伐木、種竹、挖礦；閒時則養雞、飼豬、牧牛，生活過得雖然清苦，但也不虞匱乏。
