Jiang Shi lived in Guanghai, Sichuan Province in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). He got marry the daughter of Pang. Both of the husband and wife were quite filial piety.
Between the the Yangtse River and the house of them, there was 6 or 7 mile. Knowing the mother-in-law of lady Pang enjoy drinking the water of the Yangtse River, so, lady Pang often went to the Yangtse River to carry the water for her mother-in-law.
Knowing the mother-in-law enjoy eating fish, both of husband and wife often cooked fish for their mother. Since the old lady did not want to eat alone, they invited a neighbour - another old lady to share the fish.
One day, because the wind was strong, lady Pang carried the water back home later. His husband misunderstood her neglected his mother so that drove her out of the home.
When lady Pang had to live with her neighbours, she still worked on spinning to make money and entrusted her nerghbour to send whole of her income to her mother-in-law.
Later, her mother-in-law knew the situation that she has been driven out of the home, she asked his son to pick up his wife -lady Pang back home .
At the day lady Pang came back home, suddenly a spring spewed out of the yard, the taste was as same as the water of the Yangtse River, and since then, every, there were to carps jumped out of the water.
