Wucheng "Canal Scenic Road" is located in the Wucheng section of the Wei Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with a total length of 7.8 kilometers, which is part of the canal economic characteristic scenic spot of the canal cultural tourism belt in the old town of Wucheng, and is also one of the specific implementation projects of the "Implementation Plan for the Protection, Inheritance and Utilization of the Grand Canal in Shandong Province".
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and south, communicates inside and outside, and connects ancient and modern, which greatly promotes the integration of the essence of Confucian culture and the civilization of the north and the south in the basin, and the canal culture born from it is even more colorful and has a long history.
Wucheng, which enjoys the reputation of "Canal Pearl, Ancient County of String Song and Hometown of Zhuangyuan", has rich historical and cultural relics. Relying on the rich canal culture, filial piety culture and other historical resources, Wucheng has successively built the canal ancient city cultural scenic spot, the Sinu Temple Canal Ancient Town Cultural Scenic Area, the old town canal cultural tourism belt and other canal economic characteristic scenic spots, and the small county large tourism pattern has initially taken shape.
In the past, I heard people say: Isn't the Wucheng Canal a seasonal river that dries up all year round and stinks? What's so good to see? "As everyone knows, with the continuous improvement of the local ecological environment, the full implementation of the river chief system, and the continuous increase in the improvement of the ecological environment along the canal and along the South-to-North Water Diversion Line, the water environment quality of the river basin has continued to improve for 13 consecutive years." Today's Wucheng section of the canal has long been different from the past.
On a Saturday in late autumn, a group of Riders of the Rainbow Team on the Plains came to a "canal trip".
After departing from the plain, go all the way west to Wucheng County, where Wucheng riders are already waiting. After a hasty breakfast, under the guidance of enthusiastic Wucheng riders, we continued to the west and arrived at the location of the canal scenic road - Wucheng Old Town.
Laowu Town was originally the seat of wucheng county, which had experienced nearly a thousand years of prosperity and read the vicissitudes of the world. According to historical records, in the second year of Emperor Huizong of Song 's reign (1108), the west bank of the canal broke through, flooding the county seat of Wucheng at that time, and the imperial court moved wucheng county to the east bank of the canal five kilometers away, that is, in Hetao, west of present-day Wucheng Town. In 1972, the canal was widened again, and the newly built levee was designed between Wucheng County and Dongguan, and the location of the county seat changed from the former River ToheTao, and the problem of county relocation had to be considered. It was finally decided to rebuild the county seat of Wucheng on the site of the former Enzhou, which is 20 kilometers away from the old city. An old county that has existed for nearly 900 years has thus become a canal channel that runs from north to south. The former political, economic and cultural center of Wucheng County has also become a remote township.
In 1958, before the county seat was relocated, the Xiguan Village of the county seat was relocated to the east of Dongguan Village due to the widening of the canal, but the name was still called "Xiguan Village", so there was an anecdote that "Xiguan was repaired in The East Guandong".
Nowadays, Laowu Town has ushered in the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt and the two major opportunities for the resumption of the canal, and it is foreseeable that it is not far from the day when it will take off again.
From the old town of Wucheng along the canal scenic road all the way to the north, the roadside green trees, flowers and tides, through it, beautiful. In addition to his joy, Suikou occupied a small poem in the form of a poem to remember:
Late autumn awaits, and the canal is visited.
The river of weiyun is curved and long.
Zhong Ling Yuxiu, access to Beijing and Hangzhou.
The gathering of humanities, the people of Fufu.
Frost in September, polyester in October.
Canal scenery, water station fish town.
The two sides of the strait are rich and prosperous, and there is an autumn light.
Clear waves, flowing water soup soup.
The frost has arrived and the temperature has plummeted.
In the wind, fortunately there is a warm sun.
Reed pond fishing song, insect and bird duet.
Euphemistic twists and turns, suspected to be Xiao Xiang.
Canal People's Home, Jiamaying Township.
10,000 acres of flowers, birds and flowers.
Peacock chrysanthemum, blooming in the wind.
The green leaves are sparse, carrying red and yellow.
All the way and play and ride, I don't feel that I have reached the water conservancy hub of the Four Daughters Temple.
The Dezhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is 141 kilometers long, including two sections of the South Canal and the Wei Canal, which are composed of the Wei Canal and the South Canal. From Baizhuang in Xiajin County to the Sinu Temple Locks in Wucheng County, it is the Wei Canal; from the Sinu Temple Gate to the north to the third store in Ertun Town, Decheng District, it flows into the Wuqiao section of Hebei Province, which is the South Canal. Although the Texas section of the Wei Canal is not listed as a World Heritage Site as the Texas section of the South Canal, it is also an inseparable and important part of the Texas Canal culture.
Similar to the characteristics of the South Canal with the "Nine Bends", the channel of the Wei Canal is also quite curved, even more and larger than the bends of the South Canal section. The Wei Canal left the old town of Wucheng all the way north, to the vicinity of Qingsuchang Village in Wucheng County, and suddenly turned around and headed northeast. The story of "Sanwang SujiaLou", which is often talked about by locals, happened here.
According to legend, in 1703, when Kangxi went down to Jiangnan five times, on the way back to Beijing, when the royal boat traveled to Tangliuli Township in Wucheng, Kangxi was pleasantly surprised to see sujialou located at the west end of Qingsuchang Village and close to the canal embankment from three different canal bends, and asked three times: Where is this building? The local official who accompanied the driver replied three times: Emperor, it is Su Jia Lou of Su Jia Factory. Since then, it has left a beautiful talk of "Three Looks at Su Family Building". It also corroborates the fact that the Wucheng section of the Wei Canal has many bends.
After the Wei Canal reaches the hub of the Four Daughters Temple, it flows into the South Canal, the Fork River and the Minus River respectively, forming the spectacle of "three rivers and four banks", which is rare even in the water towns in the south.
Historically, the Dezhou section of the canal was flooded frequently due to low-lying terrain and poor water conservancy facilities (before liberation, there were no locks under linqing). The design of this bending river channel is derived from the water control concept of "three bends to one gate". Most of the curved channels are also artificially excavated due to the situation.
As a world-famous river, although the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal does not have the majestic momentum of the Yellow River", nor does it have the vastness of the Yangtze River's "waves between the rivers and the sky", since the day it was excavated, she has nourished hundreds of millions of people along the river with motherly tenderness.
The shipping of the Grand Canal has taken advantage of the economic prosperity and development brought about by the convenience of boats, which has effectively driven the local economy of Wucheng. The quality of life of residents along the river is generally higher, and the residence and clothing tend to be new and fashionable, as the local folk song says: "Look at the house in the east, look at the beam in the west, and look at the clothes on both sides of the canal." ”
The benefits of canal irrigation also benefited Wucheng's agriculture. The canal surrounds Wucheng, the river beach area is large, the sandy land is large, suitable for growing watermelons. After years of planting and consumer judgment, there is also a proverb of "Texas Watermelon Wucheng Rice", "Guozhuang's spinning cake, Texas chicken, Wucheng watermelon sweet as honey", sweet as honey Wucheng watermelon, Guozhuang's rotary cake, are all well-known Wucheng specialties, will make you feast.
Melons, fruits, vegetables and grains are planted in the canal circle, which is convenient for irrigation, low cost and large income. The reputation of "JinWucheng" enjoyed by Wucheng in the past few years has a great relationship with this!
"Culture is the soul of a country and a nation." A short ride can only "peek at the leopard in the tube" of the broad and profound canal culture, but in order to implement the relevant requirements of the outline of the national Grand Canal cultural protection, inheritance and utilization plan, the local government of Wucheng has deeply excavated the rich historical and cultural resources of the Grand Canal, protected, inherited and made good use of the precious heritage left to us by the ancestors of the Grand Canal, coordinated the economic and social development of the region along the Grand Canal, and coordinated the overall plan to publicize China's image, display Chinese civilization, and highlight cultural self-confidence.
In the near future, with the construction of the country's only miniature canal culture museum, which includes The Caoyun culture, Qilu culture, Huaiyang culture and Wuyue culture on the cultural axis, and the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Spring and Autumn style, the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Southern Song Dynasty on the timeline, the construction of the country's only miniature canal culture museum. The strong vitality of the long-standing canal culture gives us reason to believe that the canal was brilliant yesterday, and the future of the canal must be brilliant and remarkable. In the near future, we will definitely see a more magnificent Grand Canal.
"Qingchi with pleasure, river and sea with lyricism". In the traditional concept of Chinese, water has great virtue and great realm, is spiritual and human, and represents the infinite wisdom contained in heaven and earth. People aspire to "live by the water and live by the water". When scientific and technological progress leads people into the bustling city, see enough of the glitz and bustle of the metropolis, the dryness of the soul makes us more eager to return to nature, find a moist place, and wash the roughness of the heart. The Rainbow Team chose to ride along the Historic Grand Canal, which may be precisely for this consideration. It's really:
The canal swings north and south,
The culture is ancient and modern.
Rainbow between water and clouds,
Time has passed since the heart of heaven and earth.
