It was inconvenient for people traveling from north to south. In order to make it easier for people to cross the river, a young man named Ji on the south bank of the river built a small wooden boat to ferry people across the river on a voluntary basis, regardless of the cold or heat.

Later, in order to commemorate this ferryman, people called the town "Xiaoji".

At that time, I personally wrote a couplet after admiring the moon in my hometown.
