At the beginning, Chu and Han fought many times. Later, Xiang Yu was defeated and retreated to the barracks. The Han army came after him. It happened that willow catkins were covered with willow branches. The breeze was like smoke, which covered the sky and covered the earth, blocking the sun and blocking the eyes. The Chu army was saved! The reason why "Bagang tobacco willow" became one of the "eight sceneries of Zhecheng" in Ming and Qing Dynasties was that Huiji river flowed through the east side of Bagang and willows were planted along the river.

Up to now, I still hate the smoke and willows, and I cry several lines in the wind and rain.

With the passing of the river, only smoke and willows fill Gaogang. "
