In the 13th year of Tongzhi (1874), he served as the magistrate in Qianjiang County, Hubei Province, and later as the magistrate in Huanggang County, Hubei Province. During Dai's reign, he actively persuaded donations and built the head door, instrument door and inner and outer canopies, which became a building complex with unique cultural landscape in Huangzhou City.
