Bao Qiushui's Creative Background

1. One view is that Bao Qiushui was created by Tianjin people to commemorate Bao Chengjia, a magistrate at that time, when Tianjin was flooded during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. In Tianjin people's mind, Bao Qiushui is the mother river of Tianjin, just as the Yellow River is to China. In order to commemorate Bao Xuan's achievements, people renamed Xiaoqing River Bao Qiushui.

2. Another view is that Bao Qiushui was created by Tianjin people in the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty to commemorate Bao Xinzeng, an official in charge of Haihe River at that time. Bao Xin was diligent in political affairs during his tenure, and paid special attention to water conservancy construction. He personally visited the site, drew a full map of the Haihe River, and planned a blueprint for harnessing the Haihe River. He died of illness during his tenure in Tianjin, and the people of Tianjin wrote this folk song in memory of him.

3. There is another saying that Bao Qiushui's creative background is different from the above two statements. According to the Records of Baodi County in the Light Years of Qing Dynasty, Bao Qiushui was named after Baoyu, the magistrate of Yuyang County in the Western Han Dynasty, built a dam and repaired the embankment on Xiaoqing River under the jurisdiction of Yuyang County. Bao Xuan managed the Xiaoqing River well, so that the flood was no longer a disaster and the local people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
