Jiang Kui is a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, whose real name is Yao Zhang, and his real name is "White Stone Taoist", and he is from Poyang, Jiangxi. Dozens of his poems are related to Hefei; He is related to Hefei by blood, but attached to two geisha sisters. Jiang Kui loves mountains and rivers and nature. According to textual research, he traveled to Hefei at least three times in his youth, and all lived by Chilan Bridge in the south of the city. When he first came, he fell in love with the singer who played the pipa by the Chilan Bridge. In Jiang Kui's ci, her gesture is "Yan Yan is light" and her words are "Ying Ying is delicate", which can be described as charming and amorous feelings. The "parting needle and thread" and "parting words" she gave Jiang Kui were tender and considerate and unforgettable. And the pipa singer has a sister who plays guzheng. The two sisters accompanied Jiang Kui to visit Chaohu Lake, climb Laoshan Mountain, and often went boating on the river around the city. Playing Jiang Ci is like icing on the cake, which makes Jiang Kui feel relaxed and happy. Even after he left for a while, he often saw the two sisters in his dreams. In Jiang Kui's works, there is a sad and lingering saying that "fat water flows eastward endlessly, and acacia was not planted at the beginning".

Jiang Kui sometimes gets tired of being immersed in love, and is even criticized by his two sisters in Hefei. According to legend, once Hefei City was destroyed by the martial arts, and Jiang Kui was in his hometown in Jiangxi. He resolutely came to Hefei to visit the two sisters of Chilanqiao. Unexpectedly, I was looked down upon by my sister. The pipa girl thought that the mountains and rivers were broken and the enemy was in front of her. Jiang Youkui, a seven-foot man, should join the army and serve the country faithfully. What are you doing here to see us? She scribbled on the white paper: "wine grinds ambition, and flowers scatter heroic spirit." If the country is in trouble, how can it be familiar? " After reading it, Jiang Kui was so ashamed that he bid farewell to Chilan Bridge for the time being and defected to the famous gold fighter Liu. Liu recovered Hefei after defeating Jin Bing. When Jiang Kui returned to Chilan Bridge, she saw that the bridge had been destroyed and the two sisters had disappeared. After many inquiries, I realized that my sister didn't want to be humiliated by the nomads from the army. After killing a small leader, she committed suicide by jumping into the river. Jiang Kui burst into tears and later wrote many sentimental poems to commemorate him.
Jiang Kui is "a great poet, a great musician, a great calligrapher and an extraordinary connoisseur". Among his more than 80 existing poems, according to textual research, 25 were written for or because of missing the pipa girl, accounting for nearly one-third of all his poems.
In memory of Jiang Kui, Hefei has made several works: (1) Tongcheng Bridge across the Milky Way was renamed Chilan Bridge; (2) Publishing the book Jiang Kui and Hefei; (3) On the slope at the southwest corner of Chilan Bridge, a "White Stone Scenic Area" will be built. When completed, it will be a beautiful cultural landscape in Hefei.
