One of the picturesque "Eight Views of Jinyang", the "Late Crossing of the Fenhe River", will cause people to recall the state of the river in the past. The heavens are favored by the people of the Three Jins. The entire basin of the Fenhe River belongs to one province, which is unique in the layout of mountains and rivers, nourishing the coastal people of different eras.
In the poem "Shijing, Wei Feng, Fenfeng Feng", the verse focuses on a woman praising her lover's flowing clothes and excellent image, but inadvertently, it also sets off the ancient and simple appearance of the lush and rich ecological vegetation on the banks of the Fenhe River in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which makes people can't help but think infinitely.
In its historical memory, there are special groups of helmsmen, sailors, and porters who gather together to "beg for life".
As the saying goes, "The ship always has to dock on the dock." "The Fenhe River crossing is not only a transportation point connecting the east and west banks by ferry, but also a passenger and freight distribution center that runs through the north-south waterway. Thus there is a highly condensed ecological culture of the docks of "rivers and people", including the belief in water, the custom of opening the river to worship the gods, and the boatman's trumpet that shakes the rhythm of the wrench.
Dredging rivers and opening up canals is a huge cost to the project, and it cannot be done without the strength of one country.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the government twice attempted to use the Fenhe River to open a grand canal plan to link the Haihe, Tuotuo, and Fenhe rivers with the aim of transporting grain east of the Taihang Mountains to Taiyuan.
The first was in the 10th year of Emperor Yongping of the Ming Dynasty (67 years), recorded in the "Book of Han and Geographical Records", which corresponds to the Yehe River, a tributary of the present-day Tuotuo River, and its upstream tributary, the TaoHe River. From today's map, if there is a connection between the Yehe River and the Fenhe River, it must be communicated through the Dongwu River. The reason for the failure of the excavation of the Tuotuo River and the Fenhe River is mainly due to the complexity of geography, the relatively low level of productivity and technology.
Another time was also recorded in the Yongping Period, in the Book of Later Han and the Biography of Deng Xun: "In Yongpingzhong, Lituotuo, Shiushe (in the northeast of present-day Tang County, Hebei Province) from Duxuan to Yanggucang (in present-day Jingle County), wanted to make Tongcao, Taiyuan officials hard labor, year after year without success. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the canals of the Tuotuo River and the Shiusu River were roughly dug through, and the result of the sea trial was that the boat "passed through three hundred and eighty-nine passes, and there was no chance of drowning before and after." After that, after Deng Xun was ordered to inspect the canal on the spot, Shangqu could not be navigated, and Liu Yang, the emperor of Hanming, gave up.
Although the Fenhe version of the "National No. 1 Canal Project" could not be realized, the boatman broke into the beach and fought the water, the boat stopped, and in addition to the frozen sealing of the river for 110 days a year, the benefit of the boat has been carried out.
The Fenhe River originates from the Guanzhuo Mountains in Dongzhai Town, Ningwu (modern investigation believes that it is in Shenchi County), upstream to the Lieshikou of Taiyuan Lancun, which is a typical canyoning river channel, and can only be navigated by rafts; the section from Taiyuan Lancun to Hongdong Shitan is a plain river, which is equipped with the conditions for navigating large ships and can walk flat wooden boats with a load of 40 tons. Therefore, the Fenhe River water transport maintains segmented shipping.
After the Fenhe River water transport system moved from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the capital Luoyang, the water transport between the sheep intestine warehouse in Jingle County and the ancient city of Jinyang was the busiest. In the third year of the Eastern Wei Dynasty (541), Gao Huan ordered the states to build granaries and wharves to store grain at the riverside and Jinliang, and to respond to disaster relief or military supplies at any time. Later, although Gao Huan moved the capital to Yecheng, he still took Jinyang as the "other capital", further widened the river channel between Yanggucang and Jinyang, and relied on the natural advantages of the Fenhe River to turn to Cao. At this time, the grain in the wharf such as the sheep intestine warehouse and the Xiangyang store was piled up.
During the Tang Dynasty, Jinyang City achieved great development, according to the "New Book of Tang Geography" record: "Jinyang City spans both banks of the Fenhe River, connecting three cities, Fenxi has a west city, Fendong has an east city, and there is a middle city between the two cities. Across the Fenlian Fortress east and west two cities, so it is also known as Liancheng. "On the water surface of Jinyang Zhongcheng, there is a scene of boats like shuttles. In Wang Changling's poem, there is a description of "Jinshui Qianluhe, Fenqiao Wanguo Cong".
In addition to time switching, the interlaced river transport function on the Fenhe River space is unchanged.
Rivers are the pulse of the earth, and the destruction of forest vegetation is the main factor in the flow of rivers. In the Tang Dynasty, the mountain forests near Chang'an City were cut down to meet the palace buildings. "There is no giant tree near the mountain, and the Land of The Land is victorious", so the Lüliang Mountain has become a key area for logging, because it is closer to Kaifeng, Luoyang and Yandu, and it is also convenient for the Yellow River, the Fenhe River and land transportation. In particular, during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of palaces were built in Kaifeng City, and as many as 30,000 or 40,000 lumber cuts in the Forests of the Lüliang Mountains, and a large amount of wood was cut, "first drifting along the tributaries into the Fenhe River, then bundled as a raft down the Fenhe River, to Hejin into the Yellow River, and down the river east to Kaifeng." At that time, there was a scene of "ten thousand rafts under the river". Deforestation upstream has exacerbated the catastrophe in the waters of the Fenhe River.
From the details of the literati's poems, it is possible to capture the busy weather of the Fenhe River that has gone away. The Ming Dynasty poet Zhang Yiyou described the Fenhe River in a poem: "The mountain is full of purple at sunset, and the ferry returns like ants." The sound of rolling in the middle stream is light, and the sand is full of geese..."
The Fenhe River ferry port under the remaining scenery of the Xia, the bustling weather lies in the bustle on the shore, the strong sense of the city, and the scenery of the water road is full of trees and sails. On the other side of the Qionglou, a little light is reflected on the river, and how many stories of "once the sea", "removing Wushan", "difficult for water" and "not clouds" linger here.
