The Zhao Wang River, as the "authentic heir" of the ancient Yishui River and the total outlet of Baiyangdian, is one of the most important rivers in Xiong'an today.
I've always wanted to find out the origin of the name Zhao Wanghe, but I couldn't find the exact source.
Some people say that it was excavated by the King of Zhao during the Warring States period, so it is called the Zhao Wang River. I don't think that's very likely. The Warring States are too far away from today, how difficult is it to preserve an ancient river more than 2,000 years ago? Moreover, zhao guo did not seem to have the motivation to dig this river--it was too close to Yan and Qi, and too far from the capital of Zhao guo, and its surrounding waterways were long, and as an artificial river, it had no development value. Moreover, there is no record of Zhao Guo digging this river.
Some people say that it was the Southern Song Dynasty Gaozong Zhao Who escaped from the Jin camp and then jumped across the river, so it was called the Zhao Wang River. This is also questionable. This is obviously the story of King Dukang of mud horses, and this story takes place in Taixing County, Jiangsu Province. At that time, the Jin Dynasty even occupied the Northern Song Dynasty, and the northernmost part of the Northern Song Dynasty had nothing to do with Zhao Shuo. It is said that his old man and his brother were imprisoned across the river.
I checked the "Ren Qiu Zhi", and Qianlong Zhi simply said that it was "from Suning to Hejian, wrong Gao Yang entered the Ren Qiu boundary, in the west of the county." The Daoguang Supplementary Zhi has no record of the Zhao Wang river. The 1988-2008 Renqiu City Chronicle also only talks about the adjustment and change of the river, and there is no origin of the river name.
I've always suspected that the river was a semi-natural, half-artificial canal.
First, it is bordered by the Tuotuo River in the south and the Daqing River in the north, which seems to exceed the capacity of natural rivers, and is obviously designed.
Second, I have checked a lot of information about the Zhao Wang River, and there are also Zhao Wang River in Henan, Shandong and other places, and it is generally a canal of the Song Dynasty, and even some are called the Copper Gang Iron Bottom Zhao Wang River or the Copper Gang Iron Bottom Grain Transport River.
Third, there is such a description in the "Xiongxian Rural Chronicle": "The Zhao Wang River, that is, the ancient Tibetan grain river, flows from the Dian river in Renqiu County, flows east to the west of Gou Gezhuang, folds north into the territory, and now the upper reaches are silted for a long time." The four words of "ancient Tibetan grain river" prove that this is indeed an ancient canal. But where is the source? Mr. Liu Chongben did not write.
From this account, I am reminded of another river that xiongxian once recorded, and this river is recorded in the Ming Dynasty Jiajing's "Xiongsheng", which says" (south of the county) Wuli Zhao River. It is said that Yang Yanzhao transported grain to the river, and there were still six lang piles. This means that there is a river called the Zha River in the five miles south of Xiong County, and people say that this is Yang Yanzhao's grain transportation river. There are some large wooden stakes, which people call Liulang piles.
There are many legends of Yang Liulang in Xiong'an, such as the Qianli Causeway, also known as the Liulang Causeway, such as the legend of burning chedian is the place where Yang Liulang broke the Liao Army, such as the legend of the Hanging Horse Terrace is the place where Yang Liulang raised horses, for example, Yang Guancheng was built by Yang Liulang, and so on.
However, many people who study history do not agree with this.
This lock river is actually a canal in Tongxiong Prefecture, Juanzhou in the Song Dynasty, known as the South River in history.
The Zhao Wang River and the Qianli Causeway are accompanied by each other, moving forward gracefully.
According to the history of the Song Dynasty, this river was opened by Cao Han, the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Cao Han (924–992), a great celebrity and a famous general in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Initially subordinated to Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, he followed Gaoping and Waqiaoguan. After transferring to the Northern Song Dynasty, he followed the quelling of Li Jun's rebellion. In the second year of Qiande (964), he was the envoy of Junzhou and the transfer envoy of the southwestern states, supervising the supply of military salaries into the Shu army, and successively participated in suppressing the rebellion led by Quan Shixiong and Lü Han. During the Kaibao years, the host of the SaiHe has achieved results. He also participated in the pacification of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the capture of Jiangzhou. In the fourth year of the Taiping Revival (979), Emperor Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty and attacked the Khitans. The following year, it was deployed for the Youzhou camp.
This river was dug by him when he was deploying the camp in Ren Youzhou.
According to the History of the Song Dynasty, the emperor ordered Cao Han to preside over the excavation of the canal from Xiongzhou to Juanzhou, called the South River, and a strong levee needed to be built to ensure its safety. Cao Han then sent tens of thousands of people to the border of the Northern Han Dynasty to cut down giant trees. Because of their proximity to the border and fear of the enemy's disturbances, they sent five more cavalry, with five-colored flags as orders, and when they encountered different situations such as hills, water, thieves, and fireworks, they held up different banners to report the situation, and then set up beacon towers on the border.
Since it was called Nanhe, we can guess that at that time, Youdu deployed Cao Han probably stationed in Xiongzhou. Suppose he is stationed in Juanzhou, and this canal south of Xiongzhou and north of Juanzhou will certainly not be called the South River, but the North River.
Later generations called this river a lock river, and it can be seen that there must be a lock in the river. Ancient canal locks were generally used to regulate the amount of water and balance the water level drop between different rivers. I think this gate also plays a similar role.
The so-called Liulang pile is probably the remnant of the giant trees that Cao Han cut down on the border of the Northern Han Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, these wooden stakes still existed, but unfortunately there is no trace of them today.
What is the relationship between this South River and the Zhao Wang River? Did this river later extend from Juanzhou all the way south to Hejian and Suning? Or did it already have a southern river channel, and the south river was just an extension of it to the north?
I don't know, the same lack of information.
For the first time, the Zhao Wang River and the Zhao Wang Xin River intersected in the north of Gou Ge Zhuang Village

Today, there are not many channels left in the ancient Zhao Wang River, most of which are silted up, leaving only the names of villages drenched in water, such as Huibokou, Guojiakou, Biandukou, Nancaokou, Beicaokou, Denghekou, Renheyuan, and Dalinhe.
In the twelfth year of Tongzhi, Ye Boying of the Qinghe River was responsible for the management of the Daqing River system, because the Qinghe Gate and the Dagang River were silted up, so from the burning of Xiangdian west of the Twelve Bridges at the north mouth of Zhao, the Zhao Wangxin River was excavated, through the Bridge, to the southeast of Dagangdian, to the southeast of Dagangdian, to the qianli embankment flat excavation, to the Gou Gezhuang below, to Wenjiazhuang, Shi Gezhuang, becoming Baoding's route to Tianjin, feasible big boats.
In 1963, in order to control the flood, the government organized the excavation of a new channel connecting the main floodway of Zaolinzhuang in the west and the Zhaowang River in the east and connecting the Zhaowang New Canal. As a result, Ye Boying's Zhao Wangxin River also became the old Zhao Wang River.

Mr. Ren Chuma heyi is a very knowledgeable scholar. I learned a lot from him. It was also because of his connections that I visited Renqiu's museum several times. There is a treasure in the museum, a canoe from the Tang Dynasty, which was excavated in the old Zhao Wanghe Old Road in Juanzhou. This canoe is said to be unique in the whole country. There is also iron power (iron scale) on the hull, indicating that this is a trading ship. That is to say, in the Tang Dynasty, when Baiyangdian was not yet formed, this Zhao Wang River had already played an important role in water transportation.
What was the name of the Zhao Wang River at that time? Is it a natural channel or an artificial channel?
Everything is a mystery.
Waiting for the master to unravel.
