Yang Yinchuan, the brother-in-law of Wang Tao in the Qing Dynasty, found the remnant draft of Six Chapters of a Floating Life in a cold stall in Suzhou, with only four volumes, and gave it to Wang Tao, who was in charge of reporting Wenzunge in Shanghai at that time, and published it as movable type 1877.
In the middle Tang Dynasty, Mianyang sages built Canglang Pavilion in Zhanggou to commemorate Qu Yuan, which is located in the north of Tongzhou River in Zhanggou Town, next to Zhanggou Theater. This used to be a place for religious activities. Chen Youliang once opened a martial arts school here, and Zhang Nanxian once taught here. During the Great Revolution, Deng Chizhong set up a civilian night school here. He Long was stationed here when he led the Red Army to attack Xiantao. In a word, Canglang Pavilion is a scenic spot with profound historical background.
