History of Xunsi River

1. Improvement of Xunsi River in Wuhan

The most profound thing in my memory is Zhongshan Park, which can be said to be a household name. But do you know? There are actually two urban park belts in Wuchang. The first is a transverse green artery along Wuluo Road, consisting of Yellow Crane Tower Park, Shouyi Park, Hongshan Park, Luojia Mountain, Yujia Mountain and Ma'anshan Park; the other is along Xunxun Park. Sihe is the longest urban park belt in Asia, consisting of three major theme parks: Wuchang Park, Yellow Crane Tower Park, Shouyi Park, *** Park and Xunsihe Park. *** It is planned to build the Wutai Zha Historical Park, the Xunsi River Customs Park and the Xunsi River Wetland Park next to the Xunsi River. Poly Park Jiuli is located between Wutai Zha Historical Park and Xunsi River Style Park. It is understood that the Wutai Gate Historical Park: As the starting point of the Xunsi River Ecological Scenic Corridor, the gate and the railway are used as landscaping elements, and the theme of the former Wutai Gate site and the train bar is set on Linzhongshan Road. Focus on meeting the daily leisure needs of citizens and providing residents with entertainment and fitness venues. Xunsi River Style Park: Located in the middle section of the Xunsi River Ecological Corridor, with parks and water bodies as the landscape theme, and the living water corridor running through the center of the park as the main line, it connects various parks in series for urban residents to visit. Xunsi River Wetland Park: Located at the end of the Xunsi River Ecological Corridor, the layout of the park is dominated by woods and water bodies. It is a large-area wetland and ecological forest belt. It is also the green lung and natural oxygen bar of the city, appropriately taking into account the residents’ leisure needs. .

Hope this helps. 2. The original name and history of Fuxing Road in Wuchang

Fuxing Road was originally called Dachao Street. It was the main street in the south of Wuchang City in the Ming Dynasty. Its southern end was the security gate. The name Baoanmen has been passed down since Wuchang City was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The surrounding city gates have all changed their names, but Baoanmen remains unchanged. Today, the old appearance of the Baoanmen area is quite well preserved. There are no tall buildings around, and the walk from Xunsihe Road to Fuxing Road is obviously uphill. I speculate that this is the reason why Wuchang City Wall relies on rammed earth. It is also feasible if the security gate is rebuilt into the city wall.

The southern city wall of Wuchang City passed the Baoan Gate to the east and then bent an S shape to the north before continuing eastward. So today we see that the positions of the Uprising Gate and the Baoan Gate are obviously "not connected": The Uprising Gate is farther north. This is my inference and is not clearly documented in the literature. I came to this conclusion based on some historical maps and today's satellite maps. I think everyone must have heard the name of the Uprising Gate for a long time: it was through this gate that the revolutionary army outside the Revolutionary City of 1911 entered the city and captured the nearby Chuwang Army Armory. Today, the Uprising Gate is the only one of the city gates in Wuchang that has been preserved - although the tower above was also rebuilt later.

The Uprising Gate was originally a city gate with an urn, but when the Uprising Gate was renovated, only the tower was repaired and the urn was not repaired. According to the information and historical photos I have collected, the urn of the Uprising Gate is the same height as the city wall. It is also a blue brick city wall with a parapet on top. The door opening and above may be made of light-colored stone such as marble. , and there is no arrow tower on it. It was said that the ruins of a urn city were unearthed at the construction site in front of the Uprising Gate last year. When I went to see it this time, I did find some ruins of city wall bricks, and also found some white marble strips. I think my guess is not wrong. From the New South Gate in the early Ming Dynasty, to the later Zhonghe Gate, and then to the Uprising Gate after the Restoration, this ancient city gate with a history of more than 600 years has witnessed the turbulent years and vicissitudes of the past in Wuchang's history. , has also become a symbol of the great spirit of this city. The upcoming renovation will restore a section of the ancient city wall near the Uprising Gate. I believe that the ancient Uprising Gate will be even more majestic by then!

The courtyard at No. 44 Fuxing Road, Wuchang is a historical building with a history of nearly a century. It was previously the residence of Zheng Weisan, political commissar of the Central Plains Military Region. The building is a two-story, six-bay European-style stone building with beautiful stone carvings on the doors, windows and pillars. After nearly a hundred years of wind and rain, the main structure of the building is intact, but parts of it have been severely damaged.

Compound No. 44 is surrounded by various small shops. When the reporter entered through a long and narrow aisle, what caught his eye was not a building, but a large truck full of drinks, and workers were unloading the goods. Currently, the building has been rented by a beverage wholesale factory. The first floor is used as a warehouse for storing beverages and beer, and the second floor is used as a residence for workers.

The reporter saw at the scene that the building had been left unmaintained for many years and had many cracks. People who had lived in the room for a long time dried their clothes and quilts at will, and the sewage splashed indiscriminately corroded and peeled the walls. , the door and window glass of the room has long been broken, the sewer pipes upstairs have long been corroded and broken, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. It does not look like a historical building at all, but a dilapidated house that has been in disrepair for a long time. At this time, a worker was burning garbage in the compound, and black smoke blackened the walls.

The reporter wanted to go upstairs to check out the historical building, but was rejected by a female owner. She said she had rented this house as a warehouse for many years. As for who the landlord was, she did not tell the reporter, "I paid the money." ". Regarding the severe vandalism of the building, the female boss said that it was not under her control.

Buildings carrying history and culture must be protected

Yesterday, reporters interviewed Liu Qianding, an expert on Wuhan folklore. Liu Qianding told reporters that the compound at No. 44 Fuxing Road is at least more than 80 years old. The building has high historical and cultural value, but it is rented to wholesalers for use as beverage warehouses. "This in itself is very funny. I am opposed to it." " Liu Qianding believed that this was a trampling on historical buildings. "It is wrong to destroy historical buildings in itself."

Liu Qianding believes that historical buildings should be used for protection and should not be artificially destroyed. He called on relevant departments to strengthen the protection of old buildings. “Currently, many old buildings in Wuhan have either been demolished or damaged. Man-made vandalism has caused serious damage, and some buildings have become dilapidated." Liu Qianding was very sad.

"In addition to strong management methods, property rights units and users also need to enhance their awareness of protection." Liu Qianding said that historical buildings carry rich historical and cultural information of a region. Money can’t buy it back.” He and relevant scholars have repeatedly called for the issue of protecting outstanding historical buildings to be submitted to the National People's Congress for legislation.

It is understood that at present, *** in the management regulations for the protection of outstanding historical buildings, the maximum penalty can only be 30,000 yuan. Some people may be willing to pay 50,000 yuan to accept the penalty, because they may get digital times profit. The National People's Congress legislation can solve the problem of too light penalties. The government should also find ways to make caring for historical buildings a social trend. 3. The Xunsi River next to Jiuli of Wuhan Poly Park is very dirty and smelly. Don’t you plan to clean it up?

The most profound thing in my memory is Zhongshan Park, which can be said to be a household name.

But do you know? There are actually two urban park belts in Wuchang. The first is a transverse green artery along Wuluo Road, consisting of Yellow Crane Tower Park, Shouyi Park, Hongshan Park, Luojia Mountain, Yujia Mountain and Ma'anshan Park; the other is along Xunxun Park. Sihe is the longest urban park belt in Asia, consisting of three major theme parks: Wuchang Park, Yellow Crane Tower Park, Shouyi Park, *** Park and Xunsihe Park. *** It is planned to build the Wutai Zha Historical Park, the Xunsi River Customs Park and the Xunsi River Wetland Park next to the Xunsi River.

Poly Park Jiuli is located between Wutai Zha Historical Park and Xunsi River Style Park. It is understood that the Wutai Gate Historical Park: As the starting point of the Xunsi River Ecological Scenic Corridor, the gate and railway are used as landscaping elements, and the theme of the landscape is the former site of Wutai Gate and the train bar on Linzhongshan Road.

Focus on meeting the daily leisure needs of citizens and providing residents with entertainment and fitness venues. Xunsi River Style Park: Located in the middle section of the Xunsi River Ecological Corridor, with parks and water bodies as the landscape theme, and the living water corridor running through the center of the park as the main line, it connects various parks in series for urban residents to visit.

Xunsi River Wetland Park: Located at the end of the Xunsi River Ecological Corridor, the park layout is dominated by woods and water bodies. It is a large-area wetland and ecological forest belt, and is also the green lung and natural environment of the city. The oxygen bar appropriately takes into account residents’ leisure needs. 4. Please introduce the origin of the name Catfish Tao

In the southwest of Wuchang District, Wuhan City, there was once a Xunsi River and the entrance into the Yangtze River named " Catfish Tao ". The river disappeared around the end of the last century and the beginning of this century.

Regarding the Xunsi River and Catfish Tao, I heard my father tell a myth and legend when I was a child:

It is said to be the source of the Xunsi River today - Nanhu, ancient times, lake area It is very wide and open, with rare birds and exotic grasses, just like a fairyland. I don’t know when, there was a big catfish in the wide and deep lake. I don’t know how long it lived, and it was finally about to become a spirit. Ordinarily, judging from the time, it should have achieved the perfect result of cultivation and become a dragon and fly into the sky. However, it did not feel that there were any changes in the cultivation.

One day, he meditated on his body and mind and prayed for God's guidance. After concentrating for a long time, it gradually fell into a nap. In the dark, it saw an old man with an immortal spirit floating over. The old man gave it some hints and said: On the one hand, the Jade Emperor decreed that only carps can become dragons if they become spirits through cultivation. By fate, Catfish does not belong to a sect, and his family status is not "authentic" enough; on the other hand, his cultivation state in the lake is too poor and his "birth" is low, so it is difficult to achieve positive results. The old man also taught him that if he wanted to practice to become a dragon, he could only hope to practice by "dragon swimming in the sea". After saying that, the old man disappeared... Catfish King suddenly woke up and thought about it, knowing that it was God who was guiding him. So, it thought about a route and Taoist method to escape into the sea, and continued to practice hard every day, just waiting for the opportunity...

Let's continue to talk about the Catfish King who devoted himself to practice, but he didn't know it happened again. How many days ago, on a night of wind and rain, thunder and lightning, the catfish seemed to feel that the time had come. It was ready to move, ready to realize its long-cherished wish to escape into the sea... "Rumble... click..."... Following an unprecedented burst of earth-shaking thunder, Catfish was shaken all over. It seemed like an old man's voice was shouting in his ears: "Go! Go!..." At the same time, he suddenly felt something in the water and soil beneath him. Julihong surges, it knows that the secret has arrived! Gathering the power of transportation, he rose up, dominated the wind and clouds, carried water and mud, and headed straight from Nanhu Lake to the Yangtze River, entered the Yangtze River, and went straight to the East China Sea to complete his grand mission of becoming a dragon...

< p> In its section from Nanhu to the Yangtze River, a river broke out, which became the Xunsi River later. Of course, the name of Xunsi River came later. As for why it was called Xunsi River, it was named after a certain reason in later history. There are other legends. The estuary where the Xunsi River flows into the Yangtze River is called "Cat Fish Trap". The reason why it is called catfish snare is that according to legend, a fisherman set a fish snare in the river at the entrance that day, preparing to snare a big fish, namely sturgeon. As a result, this set could not stop the catfish, so the mouth of the river was probably named "Catfish Set" because of this. It is also said that that day, a fisherman on the riverside saw the King Catfish entering the river. The two fish whiskers he saw were as big as bamboo poles, which showed how big the King Catfish was. 5. Where is the Xunsi River

The Xunsi River is located at the southern end of Wuchang City. It is formed by several streams originating from the northern foot of Bafen Mountain in Jiangxia District, Wuchang. It flows into Tangsun Lake and joins the Yangtze River at Catyutao via Wutai Gate. The average width of the river is about 30 meters, and it flows 16 kilometers from Tangsun Lake below, with a catchment area of ??460 square kilometers. It is connected to Nanhu Lake, Huangjia Lake and the Yangtze River. There are 13 large and small bridges along the river, 4 railway bridges and 1 large highway bridge. The upper reaches from the source of the river to Tangsun Lake, there are many low mountains and hills along the way. The middle reaches from the northwest end of Tangsun Lake to Wutai Gate, the terrain is gentle and there are many farmland and vegetable fields. Downstream to the mouth of the river... After the 1990s, it became an underground river and was covered with cement slabs as Xunsi River Road. The Xunsi River passes through Yaogou, Lijiaqiao, Banqiao, Xinqianjiajie, Xujiadun, Yongan Temple and other villages. There are also many institutions such as Hubei University of Technology, Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology Wuchang Branch. The river bed is shaped like a pot bottom and can be several meters deep.

According to "Shui Jing Zhu", this river may have been formed as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In the 1950s, the water quality of the Xunsi River was good, clean and transparent, and fish and shrimps could be seen.

My mother grew up on the banks of the Xunsi River. According to her, the river used to be quiet and quiet, and many people came to swim here in summer, and some even jumped into the water from the Wutai Gate. When I was a child, my clothes were washed in this river. I also remember that when I was a child, I went with my grandmother to collect wild vegetables on the river slopes, and I could see white waterbirds gathering on the river, which shows that the water quality was very good at that time.

Later, due to gradual pollution, the Xunsi River became a smelly river after 1995. The garbage on it was 70 centimeters thick, and it was not harmful for children to play football on it. Nepenthes and water hyacinth grow in many river sections. The lower reaches were transformed into roads, and I could no longer see the beautiful river of my childhood.

According to the Wuhan Municipal Government, 1.6 billion yuan will be invested in its treatment starting from 2008. By then, the Xunsi River is expected to regain its vitality. 6. Please introduce the origin of the name Catfish Tao

In the southwest of Wuchang District, Wuhan City, there was a Xunsi River and the entrance into the Yangtze River named " Catfish Tao ".

The river disappeared around the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. Regarding the Xunsi River and Catfish Tao, when I was a child, I heard my father tell a myth and legend: It is said to be the source of the Xunsi River - Nanhu. In ancient times, the lake area was very wide and filled with rare birds and plants, just like a fairyland.

I don’t know when, there was a big catfish in the wide and deep lake. I don’t know how long it lived, and it was finally about to become a spirit.

Let's continue to talk about the Catfish King who practiced hard, but he didn't know it had passed. How many days ago, on a windy and rainy night with lightning and thunder, the catfish seemed to feel that the time had come. It was ready to move, ready to realize its long-cherished wish to escape into the sea... "Rumble... click..."... Following an unprecedented burst of earth-shaking thunder, Catfish was shaken all over. It seemed like an old man's voice was shouting in his ears: "Go! Go!..." At the same time, he suddenly felt something in the water and soil beneath him. Julihong surges, it knows that the secret has arrived! The gathering power rises up, dominates the wind and clouds, carries water and mud, and rushes straight from Nanhu to the Yangtze River, enters the Yangtze River, and goes straight to the East China Sea to complete its grand goal of cultivating dragons... After it goes from Nanhu A river course broke out towards the Yangtze River, which later became the Xunsi River. Of course, the name of Xunsi River came later. As for why it was called Xunsi River, it was named after a certain reason in later history. There are other legends.

The estuary where the Xunsi River flows into the Yangtze River is called "Cat Fish Trap". The reason why it is called catfish snare is that according to legend, a fisherman set a fish snare in the river at the entrance that day, preparing to snare a big fish, namely sturgeon.

In the end, this set could not do anything to this catfish, so the river mouth was probably named "Catfish Set" because of this. It is also said that that day, a fisherman on the riverside saw the catfish king entering the river. The two fish whiskers he saw were as big as bamboo poles, which showed how big the catfish king was. 7. Why does Wuhan Poly Park Jiuli say it is a park real estate project?
