Discharging refers to logging in the forest farm, and directly tying the cut wood into large rafts (also called rafts). Because the forest farm is mostly on the mountain, the terrain is high, and the raft can be directly used downstream. The raft is both a means of transport and a cargo, killing two birds with one stone. After reaching the downstream, sell the wood directly to the buyer after landing.

Paizi, such as the one in the journey to the east, is primitive, has no power, and can only go downstream, which is very dangerous. In the past, the Yalu River and Songhua River in the northeast were the main rivers for rafting. Now, people in Russia and North Korea put rafts, but it is much better than before. With some power systems, the danger is less, and generally only a few people put a raft, not as much as crossing the Kanto.

Jinping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, has always had a tradition of releasing water and discharging rafts, relying on its unique advantages in water transportation. After 1990s, with the strengthening of the protection of forest resources and the development of hydropower in Qingshui River Basin, the scene of putting wooden rafts gradually faded out of the historical stage.

On June 6, 20 18, Jinping's "Mupai Haozi" with a history of more than 500 years reappeared in Longla Village, sanjiang town, Jinping County. Paipai men are busy tying rafts and putting them into the water, showing the ancient skills of tying rafts, telling the wood merchant culture of Qingshui River, and letting people know the history of pai pai on the river with local characteristics.
