He was stationed in Baoding for a long time, also known as "Baoding king". He became the fifth president of the Republic of China by bribery. After his death, when the whole country was fighting against Japan, the national government, in consideration of his strong resistance to the Japanese aggressors' inducements, had national integrity and pursued the gifts to the first rank General of the army.
In August 1918, Cao Kun moved from Tianjin to Baoding, and rebuilt the former prison Department of the Qing Zhili inspection envoys as a place to live, receive guests, hold gatherings, entertain and relax. Because Cao Kun admired Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty, he was named "Guangyuan".
