Why did Aiyi River change its name to Diannong River?

The reason why Aiyi River was renamed Diannong River is as follows:

On September 18 and 17, Ningxia announced that the name of "Aiyi River" was changed to "Diannong River" (named Aiyi River in 2004, Aiyi River in 2008, changed back to Aiyi River on October/5, and named Diandong River on October18). Diannong Town was built in Ding Yuan in the Western Han Dynasty for five years (BC 1 12), more than 2 100 years ago.

The name Diannong River not only reflects the long history of agricultural development in Ningxia Plain, but also reflects the multicultural characteristics of immigrant culture and farming culture south of Saibei River.

Diannong River starts from Shaoxi Village, Lijun Town, Yongning County, and passes through Yongning County, Xixia District, jinfeng district, Helan County, Pingluo County and Huinong District of Shizuishan City, with a total length of 180.5 km. The main rivers started construction in 2003, put into operation in 2005, and were fully completed in 2008.

Diannong River enters the second drainage ditch, Pingerzhigou, Fangjiaquan ditch, Sanerzhigou and the third drainage ditch along the way 10, and receives the water from six flood retaining reservoirs and two flood detention areas in Yinxi, connecting lakes and wetlands along the way, such as Qizilian Lake, Huayan Lake, West Lake, Yuehai Lake, Beita Lake and Hu Sha, forming a water surface of nearly 70,000 mu, which is used for collection.
