"Three mountains and thousands of lanes are winding, and hundreds of bridges and thousands of streets crisscross", weeping willows lean against the shore, blue bricks and tiles, pavilions and pavilions, quiet and sound, and vast smoke waves ... All this is like a gradually unfolding ink landscape painting, beautiful, exquisite and rich, which has condensed the sight of countless water lovers. The water in Zhejiang is a monument to heroes. Qian Wang shoots tides, He Xun chisels Xixing Canal, Bai Juyi and Su Shi build Bai Causeway and Su Causeway, Mao Yisheng designs and builds Qiantang River Bridge, and in recent years, thousands of standard seawalls against typhoon and moisture, Qianhe levee for flood control and disaster reduction, and Baicheng flood control project, etc. Every water control project has emerged many epic heroic stories, which condensed the sweat of Zhejiang people, formed a great water control spirit and interpreted the humanistic soul of Zhejiang. The water in Zhejiang is the progress of the times. Water conservancy in Zhejiang is constantly innovating and has made great achievements on behalf of others.
