Shuiyangjiang waterway transportation

Shuiyangjiang has been an important waterway in southern Anhui since ancient times, and its strategic position is very important. According to legend, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period (506 BC), Wu Zixu dug the world's first artificial canal-Xu Xi, which connected the waterway between Taihu Lake and Shuiyangjiang River, and was called "Zhongjiang" in history. According to Hanshu Geography, "Gong Yu is in Zhongjiang, but it is not connected with Taihu Lake, and Wu is connected with it." "The Annals of the Qing Dynasty" also records: "The water of the Zhongjiang River originates in the east of Wuhu, passes through Gaochun and Lishui and reaches Yixing." During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, merchants from Woyan, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi came from Huizhou and Xuancheng because of the Shuiyangjiang River, went down the Shuiyangjiang River, entered the Central Plains in the north and Su Yang in the east. According to the Records of Xuancheng County, there was grain transportation in Xuancheng in the third year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 894). In the second year of Tang Tianfu (AD 902), the Nanjing secretariat attacked Xuancheng and Xuancheng was broken. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shuiyangjiang built a city, set up a post station, equipped with four ships and 200 sailors, and then expanded to 45 ships. Both Mashan Port and Yutan Lake in Xuancheng have river berths, which are in charge of water transport and fishery. In the eighth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1857), he trained a navy master and built a navy master in Dangtu, with Xuancheng as the boundary along the Shuiyang River in the inner river. In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, our anti-Japanese fighters dealt a heavy blow to the enemy near Xinhe Village in Shuiyangjiang.

Ningguo territory

Shuiyangjiang, which originates from the northern foot of Tianmu Mountain in the southeast of the county seat, flows into Li Xi from Hangshui (Jindong River) and Huishui (Xijin River), flows northward through Wang Xi, Changtan and Port to Ding Cun, and then flows into the Yangtze River through Sunjiabu and Xuancheng. The length of the territory is 2 1km, the maximum river width is 1 12m, the water depth is 1 1.3m, and the dry season is 2.2m.. Ships can sail normally for 8 months every year and can sail about 10 tons of wooden sailboats. The upper side of Helixi can reach Hulu, Dongan, Ningdun, Shikou and other places, and the lower side can reach Sunjiabu, Xuancheng, Wuhu and other places. It is the main channel for material transportation in Ningguo City.

Jin Dong flows through the ladder, Xianxia, Sanyuan, Shiqiao, Xi Zhong, Shikou, Meilin, sandbags and Xing Ping to Helixi, with a total length of 44 kilometers. Bamboo rafts can be used in flood season, of which Yaxikou in Shikou Town is 27 kilometers away from Helixi River, which is a third-class river and can be used by ships under 5 tons. Its tributary Ningdun River has 265,438+0 kilometers of accessible bamboo rafts.

Xijin River flows through Hulu, Jialu, Dongan, Jichuan and Qinglong to Xijin River, joins Jin Dong and flows northward into Shuiyangjiang River. The production pit is 70km away from Gaojiachang, and bamboo rafts can be used. Among them, 60km from Le Hu to Wangjiachang is a six-level river, which can be used by ships under 5 tons. Its tributaries, Jinxi River and Yongcun River, are 30km away, and bamboo rafts can be used.

Nakatsugawa, 35 kilometers long from Wucun Tower in Zhuangcun Township to Zhonghekou, can be reached by bamboo raft. From Zhufeng to Zhonghekou 15km, it is a six-level river, and wooden boats under 5 tons can pass. Its tributaries have a 5-kilometer-long accessible bamboo raft.
