The Ru River in history is called Ru River. A separate chapter in "Shui Jing Zhu" records the place where Ru River flows, roughly It is the entire river course of the current Bei Ru River and Nan Ru River, which originates from the top of Funiu Mountain in Henan and passes through Ruyang, Ruzhou, Jiaxian, Xiangcheng, Luohe, Xiping, Suiping, Shangcai, Runan, and Pingyu in Henan today. , Xincai, to the southwest of Funan County, Anhui Province and into Huaihe River.

According to "Hanshu Geography", it is 1,345 miles long and is the second largest tributary of the Huaihe River, second only to the Yinghe River. According to historical documents, the Ru River was like this from the Han Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty. However, from Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty to the early Yuan Dynasty, the Ru River basin flooded. In order to ensure the safety of the lower reaches, the Yuan court cut off the Ru River from the border of Luohe City and Wuyang County in Henan Province. The water forced the upstream Ru River to change its course eastward and flow into Ying. As a result, the lower reaches of the Ru River and the upper reaches were cut off and became independent rivers.

In the beginning, the Nanru River still took as its source a section of the previous tributary, a section of the river upstream from the current Shimantan Reservoir to Xiping County, maintaining its status as the "boss" of the Nanru River Basin, with the Hong River as its source. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ru River in Xiping County was blocked again. The section of the river from the Shimantan Reservoir only flowed into the Hong River. The Ru River changed its source to the Banqiao Reservoir and became shorter than the Hong River. , As a result, the Ru River (South Ru River) became a tributary of the Hong River. This is a brief history of the changes from the ancient Ru River to the present-day North and South Ru Rivers. 4. Introduction to Ru River

The historical origin of Zhumadian

Zhumadian was a transportation hub in ancient times. It was named after messengers and eunuchs traveling from south to north in history.

Yicheng is named after the origin of the city. In ancient times, Zhumadian was a place where officials rested and changed their horses midway. Changing horses is just a stop. In the Tang Dynasty, Concubine Yang loved to eat lychees. Every year when the lychees were ripe, she would send people on horseback to the south to pick them and then send them back. It was reported that Zhumadian was a necessary place and an important road, and the knights would change horses in Zhumadian before going on their way.

So it was called Zhumadian, and Zhumadian was also known as Yicheng. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao launched the Battle of Chibi. Zhumadian served as Cao Cao's reserve granary, military and horse breeding ground, and farming area.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian people who fought against each other not only established a vast and unified multi-ethnic empire spanning Europe and Asia, but also had a special liking for horses. In order to strengthen communications, a post road transportation network was established across the country, with 1,119 post stations and about 45,000 stage horses, which strictly controlled the entire empire.

At that time, Runing Prefecture was already a first-class state capital in the country, with constant messengers coming and going. With the increase in military and government documents, in 1293, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was requested by Boyan, an official of Runing Prefecture, to the west of Runing Prefecture. A post station with 15 strong horses was built 30 kilometers away from Ramie Village (today's Laojie, Yicheng District). It is called "Zhanchi" in Mongolian, and Zhanchi means "station" in Mongolian. Ramie Village (now Laojie) officially established a post building.
