Bashui is also known as the Ba River, also known as Zishui, is a tributary of the Wei River, and finally joins the Yellow River together with the Wei River, the total length of the Ba Shui is one hundred and nine kilometers, the basin area is 2,005 square kilometers, the source of the Ba Shui is in the Majiapo of Bayuan Town on the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains, and finally meets the Wei River in Gaoling District of Xi'an City.
1. The historical changes of Bashui
The Spring and Autumn Period was when Qin Mugong was in power, the river was called Bashui, and later added a three-point water next to Bashui, so it became the current Bashui, this name has been used for thousands of years, there are many tributaries of Bashui, the most important of which is the Chan River, the riverbed of Bashui is bent a lot, because in summer, the water is easy to wash away the riverbed and deform, into the current appearance.
Second, the role of Ba Shui
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a lot of dikes were built in the Bashui area, one is to generate electricity, and the other is to solve the flood problem brought by the rainy season, the agriculture in the Bahe area is very developed, and it is irrigated with Bashui in ancient times.
There are a lot of water diversion projects in Bashui, all of which were excavated in ancient times for irrigation of fields, such as Yuejin Canal, Bahui Canal, Tuanjie Canal, etc., these canals have been used by agriculture until now, Bashui has such abundant water resources and its source has a lot to do with it, in the source of the place, there are four outlets are Qingyu, Liuyu, Tongyu, and Gouyu.
3. The change of the river course of Bashui
Bashui has experienced river changes, the route that Bashui flows through before is not like this, before Lishan was arched by the earth's crust, rising in Hengling, Lantian County, so that the water on Qinling Mountain rises in a straight line, and the water flows to the south, which becomes the current Bahe River, and the Bahe River goes to the Weihe Plain in the downstream area, which belongs to the wandering river.
In ancient times, the Bahe River flowed to the east, not confluence with the Chan River, and now the Chan River also became a tributary of the Ba River, and later after the Lishan Bulge, the Ba River also began to change to the west, the Chan River is relatively small, the offset is small, the Ba River occupies the channel of the Chan River, after the two converge, finally confluence with the Wei River, and then flows into the mother river. The theft of the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty occurred near the Bahe River, and the tomb is very close to the Bahe River, which is also a very special story.
