Qin was not satisfied with the compromise and concession of the king of Chu. In the 19th year of King Xiang of Chu (the first 280 years), Sima Cuo, the general of Qin, attacked Chu, and Chu ceded Shang Yong and Hanbei. In the second year, attack Chu and take evil spirits, Deng and Xiling; In the twenty-first year of King Xiang (278 years ago), Ying Du was further captured in Tian Lei, so King Xiang had to flee with the ruling aristocracy, "protecting Chen Cheng (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province)".

In a state of extreme depression and complete despair, he threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This year is about the first 278 years, which is the 21st year of Wang Xiang. Qu Yuan was about 62 years old (born in the first 340 years and died in the first 278 years). Located in the east of Dongting Lake, Miluo River belongs to Dongting Lake water system. About 1.5 km above the mouth of the Miluo River, the pool is deep, and it is the place where Dr. Qu Yuan of San Lv died in the river, named Hebo Pool.

There is a stone tablet recorded. Hebo Beach is a part of the Miluo River. Because it is not too deep, it is a curved part of the Miluo River, so it is named Hebo Beach. According to legend, Qu Yuan, a doctor in San Lv, threw himself into the river here. In memory of him, people along the river will throw zongzi here on the fifth day of May every year, and a large-scale folk dragon boat race will be held.
