At the invitation of Zhang Guoan, an academician of the Academy of Arts and the former principal of Sanwang Primary School in Zhaili Township, Anxin County, he went to Baiyangdian in midsummer to experience the life of a small fishing village and the fun of fishing. Three friends, no, it should be four, because there is also my dog Bian Mu C set off in early July, after getting off the Beijing-Shenzhen Expressway, and walked along the provincial highway in Xushui for nearly 40 minutes before finally arriving at the destination.
In the last Baiyangdian article "Rain and Lotus Wind Exploring Fishing Village", I have briefly written the history of Baiyangdian, but many friends have not seen this article, so I will not hesitate to write and ink, and then introduce the situation of Baiyangdian.
The so-called Baiyangdian Lake, in fact, it is not a single lake, but is composed of 143 lakes of different sizes, such as Baiyangdian Lake, Zaobi Lake, Mapeng Lake, Waist Gourd Lake, etc., with a total area of 366 square kilometers and a water surface elevation of 10.5 meters. 85% of its water area is in Anxin, Xiong'an New Area, accounting for almost half of the total area of Anxin County.
The Dian area slopes from northwest to southeast, with a natural slope of 1:7000. The terrain is complex, there are 3,700 ditches, which are intertwined and scattered, there are 99 large lakes of more than 100 acres, among them, especially Baiyangdian Lake is the most famous.
The landform of Baiyangdian Lake is formed by the sea and the lake, from the lake to the land, and the current water area is only the remaining part of the ancient Baiyangdian. It is formed by the nine rivers in the upper reaches: Zhulong River, Xiaoyi River, Tang River, Fu River, Cao River, Ping River, Yangcun River, Puhe River and Baigou Diversion River.
It is known as Xidian in history, north to burn car lake, west to the junction of Anxin and Qingyuan, south to the mouth of the Zhulong River, east to Zhaobeikou, and today's landform is basically the same. Before the Ming Hongzhi (1488 AD), it had been silted into flat land, "the land can be cultivated and eaten, and the center is a horse ranch", so it has the name of "Yongnuze".
In the twelfth year of Zhengde (1517 A.D.), because the Yangcun River broke into the Zeguo, it formed the trend of the nine rivers entering the lake, and the lake water was "vast and vast, and the potential was even the sky", so it was called "the bottom of the nine rivers". Then it was renamed "Baiyangdian", which is the origin of its name.
The people always have a longing for their homeland, according to the current fashionable term called "nostalgia", sorrowful, will give birth to beautiful legends, and the same is true of Baiyangdian. According to the folk story, on a Mid-Autumn Festival night a long time ago, because the fairy Chang'e stole the elixir, she couldn't help but fly into the sky, and was about to fall into the moon for a moment, and suddenly woke up, and the treasure mirror she carried with her fell down, was smashed into 143 pieces of broken glass, and instantly turned into 143 lakes of different sizes.
Due to historical changes, the topography of the river has also changed greatly, take the nine rivers leading to Baiyangdian as an example, the Tang River, the Xiaoyi River, the Zhulong River, the Fu River, the Nanpu River, the Cao River, and the Baigou Diversion River, these seven rivers have been connected. According to official information, the left and right moat embankments of the Beipu River and the Ping River are being widened and heightened. I think that when the construction of these two rivers is completed, it will be the day when the nine rivers will be connected.
Without further ado, we soon came to Sanhe Village, the hometown of Brother Zhang's hometown, after his retirement. The name of the village is too ordinary, and I occasionally checked it on the Internet, and found that there are 450 villages called "Sanhe Village" in China, which shows that its name is very auspicious and harmonious, which has caused so many places to have the same name.
The village is an administrative village in Anxin County, Xiong'an New District, four kilometers away from the township government village. Its history is about in the Ming Dynasty, and then it was divided into three successively, namely Zhangjiazhuang, Chenjiazhuang, and Majiazhuang. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the democratic government merged the three villages into one village, and still called back the "Sanhe Village", and now there are more than 3,200 people in 600 households in the village.
Sanhe Village is adjacent to the nearby Yangmengzhuang Village, Wangzhuang Village, Zengzhuang Village, Xiaoying Village, Dongma Village, Xima 4 Village, Xima 3 Village, Xima 2nd Village, Xima 1 Village, Beitou Village and Zhaili Village. After the reform and opening up, due to the rapid development of the form, the village has been connected with the surrounding villages.
Although the village committee is separated, outsiders cannot tell where the village boundary is.
There is Yangmengzhuang 2 kilometers away from the distance, and there is Wangzhuang Village nearby, so to speak, which village sounded the loudspeaker, and the villagers could hear it clearly. Although Wangzhuang also has more than 500 households and more than 2,400 people. But it has long been connected with Sanhe Village, and in the consciousness of the villagers, they also think that they are the same village.
According to this situation, the county education bureau established a primary school in Sanhe Village and Wangzhuang Village, called "Sanwang Primary School", which is the general name of Sanhe Village and Wangzhuang, and Zhang Guoan's eldest brother was in this school and served as the principal for 16 years. To put it mildly, if it is named according to the current area, it should at least be called "Liuhezhuang".
The small fishing village is beautiful, and a river runs through the village like a jade belt. As a fishing village, the last thing you need is water. Of the nine rivers mentioned above, three of them flow into the lake in Zhaili Township, and the river that passes through the small village is called the Waterfall River, also known as the Hail River. This river is called "Nanyi Shui" in the "Notes on the Book of Water". It originated in Xikao Village and Xibule Village at the eastern foot of Langya Mountain.
Listening to the name of "Waterfall River", like a waterfall, how majestic and beautiful. Chasing the origin, it is very fierce in the source of the depths of the Taihang Mountain, it is larger than the stream at the beginning, all the way down from the mountain, and then with the canyon along the way, thousands of springs converge, it forms a big river. The river once reached Tianjin directly, and was a smooth material transportation channel.
In addition to the Pu River, there are two rivers near the village, one is the Cao River, which is four kilometers away and flows through the village. The other is the Fu River, which flows into the lake five kilometers to the south. Therefore, the two rivers do not flow through Sanhezhuang, which should not be introduced, but the two rivers are quite famous, and they have to spend a lot of time to introduce it.
Everyone knows Baoding donkey meat, it originates from the Cao River, and has a history of more than 600 years. Li Daoyuan, a geographer of the Northern Wei Dynasty, recorded in the "Notes on the Book of Water": The Cao River originates from the Wuhui Ridge in Yi County, Baoding City, and flows into Baiyangdian Lake through Xushui, Xushui, Anxin, and Xushui. Once upon a time, countless ships sailed on the Cao River to transport imperial grain, and merchants and officials tasted donkey meat and burned it, what a prosperous picture it should be.
The other is the Fu River, which originates from one acre of Quancun Village (now belongs to Jingxiu District, Baoding City). A Shangquan, known as Xitangbo and Zaoxizhuang in ancient times. At the foot of the mountain, the ground drops steeply, and the spring water gushes out, causing 27 large springs such as one mu spring, Shen spring (chicken distance spring), five flower spring, and safflower spring to gush into a river.
One acre of spring river with flood or artificial transformation of many times diversion, in the flow through the north of Baoding city to the ancient Qingyuan county, this section was named Qingyuan River. In order to enhance the transportation capacity, in ancient times, change one acre of spring river channel, pass through the south of Nanqi Village (called Qicun River), and originate in Sunjiatang Lianbaoquan and Xiazhuang's chicken distance spring confluence, through the car Xinzhuang, Cui Gate, Shuibutou, Xidayuan, through the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, to the west of Baoding Nanguan Zoo, and Hou River, Baicaogou in Lingyu Temple after the confluence called Fu River.
The name of the Fu River, first seen in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368), because of the change of Baoding Road to Baoding Mansion, Qingyuan County for the government of the rear has this name, it is the mother river of Baoding City. After confluence with the Tang River, pass through Wangting, Dong'an, Yucheng, Liujiakou, and enter the algae lake of Baiyangdian Lake at the Shanma Temple. In 1960, the new road of Fuhe River was excavated, and it was changed from below the chain gate to the south of Xiaowangting Village, the west of Dong'an Village, the middle of Liujiakou Village in the north and south, to the Triangle Dike Huicao River, and into the algae lake in Jianchang Village.
This is the history of these two rivers. It can be said that the Cao River and the Fu River are both rivers that originate from the Taihang Mountains, and both zigzag eastward through the plains, pass through the rural cities, and finally converge in Baiyangdian.
Although the two rivers did not meet exactly, they eventually merged into Baiyangdian. The reason why they finally converge is because their basins and rivers are getting closer and closer, and they are already close before they merge into Baiyangdian Lake.
Between them, the famous wetlands of the Two Rivers are home to a large number of dry and aquatic vegetation, as well as large areas of woods and tall roadway trees. Since it is not on the main traffic route, there will be a river blocking it from any direction, so it has always maintained its original environmental state.
It can be said that in that year, Baiyangdian Lake was a network of waterways, extending in all directions, there were 11 main waterways, with a total length of 183 kilometers and a basin area of 800 square kilometers. All water villages and semi-water villages are navigable, and can carry ships of more than 100 tons.
Jun looks at a leaf boat, haunted by the turmoil. The people of Baiyangdian, who relied on water for draft, understood very early on that a rich life depended on trade. It is the most important way for Baiyangdian people to obtain almost all production and living materials.
