The old name of Juguan County was Bai Quan, meaning white dogs in Chinese because the contours of the mountains on Dongju and Xiju Island looked like dogs. Dong means east, and Xi means west in Chinese. So, those two islands were called Dongquan and Xiquan Island.After KMT took over Taiwan, the names of both islands were changed to Dongju and Xiju. Ju is the metaphor of taking back the lost land. en 2023-09-14 Dongju Community Development Association<t:zh 東莒社區發展協會> https://web.archive.org/web/20231104213952/https://www.moc.gov.tw/en/News_Content2.aspx?n=487&s=174028 04 November 2023 https://www.moc.gov.tw/en/News_Content2.aspx?n=487&s=174028 Ministry of Culture Community Builders Located in the border area of Matsu, Dongju Island (formerly known as Dongquan) has developed relatively slowly compared to the other three townships in Matsu.
