According to legend, during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there was an official named Zhang Ying. When he was a magistrate in Xingyi Prefecture (now Anlong County), Guizhou Province, he attached great importance to local education.
In order to encourage young people to study hard, he came up with a good idea, that is, to send officers to patrol the city with oil drums every night. If you find someone reading at night, you will stop and sing loudly: "The government and Taiwan people cheer for the" xianggong "!"
After the scholar opened the door, the officers scooped out clear tung oil from the oil basket and put it on the scholar's lamp, saying, "My master Fu and Taigong are willing to study hard and get ahead." In that case, as an encouragement.
Zhang Ying took this good habit to every place where he worked for decades, no matter whether it was windy or rainy. Gradually, the word "refueling" appeared in the lives of local people, and it became a beautiful talk for the magistrate to "refuel" the students.
