During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Huaihe River was flooded, and the nangenglou dike burst in Shaobo Town, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. The breach was 180 meters long and the water depth was more than 13 meters. Emperor Kangxi was shocked to see the memorial, and ordered Yu Chenglong, the governor of the river, to block the breach quickly. Because the breach was too deep to be blocked for a while, they avoided the breach and crossed the river. They turned westward from cangxiangkou to nandangwang temple to connect the canal and built two dams. In the 40th year of Kangxi's reign, the imperial court set up 12 animals from the lower reaches of the Huaihe River to the entrance of the river, namely "nine oxen, two tigers and one chicken", which were placed in the main stream of the water, Qizhen water. Today, there are only a few iron bulls scattered on the river embankment. Shaobo iron bull is a well preserved one.
