Extended data:

The Hongqi Canal Project 1960 started in February, and the auxiliary canal project 1969 was fully completed in July, which lasted more than ten years.

Taking Zhang Zhuo as the source, it built a dam at Houbi Fault in Shicheng Town, Pingshun County, Shanxi Province, and introduced Zhanghe River water into Linxian County (now Linzhou). Under extremely difficult construction conditions, people in Linxian County overcame many difficulties by relying on the spirit of self-reliance and hard struggle, and fought on the cliffs of Taihang Mountain. In the dangerous beach canyon, each mountain dug a pit, each ditch bridged, leveled 1 250 hills, erected 1 aqueduct and excavated 2 1 654.

If these earth-rock barriers are built into walls 2 meters high and 3 meters wide, they can run through the north and south of the motherland and connect Guangzhou with Harbin.

People in Linxian County forged the "Red Flag Canal Spirit" of magnificent mountains and rivers in this earth-shattering and weeping great project construction. Hongqi Canal is not only a water conservancy project, but also a symbol of national spirit.
