Especially in the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1703), fifteen people, such as Jiang yuannai, Zhu yongzai, and Jiang Shangzhong in Jingkou "advised the city to lose money and rescue those who crossed the river and recovered the boat.". They donated a total of platinum and set up the "Jingkou life saving club" in Guanyin Pavilion of xijindu.
