In the long river of historical development of Shangqiu, there is such a big river, it crosses time and space, spans thousands of years, although through the passage of time, the vicissitudes of the sea, and now the traces are difficult to find, but it will always flow in the hearts of the people of Shangqiu, it is the long river of history of Chinese civilization - Suishui. If you are still not familiar with this ancient water, then in the area through which it flows, a series of place names related to it were born: Suizhou, Suiyang, Linsui, Xiao Suicheng, Suixi, Suining, etc., just like a string of pearls embedded in the banks of this humanistic river, which is well known and remembered by everyone. This is a river full of rich connotations, carrying the growth and development of China's historical civilization, and its history is a political and economic history of Shangqiu, the Central Plains and even the whole country, as well as a history of culture and civilization.
Shangqiu has been a water transportation center since ancient times. During the Zhou Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, known as "eight waters passing through the Song", Suishui, Zhuoshui, Shuishui, Obtained Water (Danshui), Pushui, Surabaya, Valley Water, Hongshui, Huangshui, Daishui and so on passed through the border, making this hot land with an area of about 100,000 square kilometers become a place of anointing. The unique geographical environment, the advantages of the transportation location in all directions, and the heritage of the Yin shang culture have created the cultural trend of "a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending" here during the Spring and Autumn And Warring States period, and Confucianism, Taoism, Mojia, and famous artists have risen here. Since then, the Beishui (Sui and Tang Grand Canal) has passed through the Shangqiu, and the Yellow River has left a meandering Yellow River in the Shangqiu, making it a treasure of heaven and leaping development. Starting from this issue, the heavy Shangqiu column of this newspaper will begin to serialize the "Walking Suishui" series of "Gozawa Twelve Waters".
Thousands of Miles of Water Transport nourishes the people The name of Suishui is exquisite
Rivers bring abundant water resources and convenient transportation, and water gives birth to a long life and also gives birth to human civilization. The elegance of clear streams, flat boats, water birds, weeping willows and poetry is a corner of the Suishui that we can glimpse from the ancient books of Yunyan. "Shunmu is heavy-eyed and courageous, and the black horse is like an electric stepping on the mountains and rivers." The history of the defeat of the king and the defeat of Kou Qing, the Heavenly Sect caused a storm in the waters. "In history, Suishui is so imposing and heroic! This is a famous historical river, in the "Shangshu Yugong" "History" there is a record of "Yong frustrated together", according to the research "depression" refers to Suishui; in the "Book of Han And Geography" there is a record of Suishui "out of PeiGuo MangXian County"; in the Northern Wei Li Daoyuan "Water Commentary" there is a record of "Suishui out of Chenliu County, Xishuo Dangqu", and a large record of the wind and place of the area experienced by Suishui from the source to the sink entrance. This ancient river originated from the Changdang Canal, starting from the east of present-day Kaifeng in Henan Province, flowing through Qixian County, Suixian County, Ningling, Suiyang District, Yucheng, Xiayi, Yongcheng, Suixi, Suzhou, Lingbi in Anhui Province, Suining in Jiangsu Province, and flowing into the ancient Surabaya water in the south of Suqian, with a total length of more than 1,000 miles. Suishui has gone through vicissitudes, flowing from the Spring and Autumn To the Qing Dynasty, lasting more than 2,000 years before the flood was annihilated. The section from the source of the Suishui River to Yongcheng has been cut off, and there are still remnants of the Suishui River in and below suixi.
Through the years, we can guanlan to the prosperity of Suishui's former water transport. In ancient times, Suishui was one of the famous canals, especially before the Opening of the Sui and Tang Grand Canals, Suishui has always been an important waterway from the Central Plains to the southeast coast. "Water transporters, waterways transport grain also." The state's use of Suishui to transport strategic materials, mainly public grain, to Beijing divisions, military barracks, and other places has played a huge role in rationally allocating resources, providing disaster relief and emergency response, and maintaining stability. Suishui, a great water conservancy project, is known for its early excavation, large scale, long mileage, and busy use, and through the functions of water diversion, drainage, flood discharge, navigation, and improvement of the ecological environment, it has bred an endless Suishui culture, nurtured the people along the river for generations, bred cities, villages, towns, and ferries, and left countless cultural relics, which is the crystallization of the collective wisdom created by the people on both sides of the Suishui River for generations.
Why did Suishui use "Sui" to name this water system? Suixian in the upper reaches of the Sui River and Suining in the lower reaches have different sayings. Suixian scholars believe that the word "Sui" in the oracle bone, the left side is a pictographic eye, and the right side is connected with a pictographic bird, which is a composite shape. According to Xu Shen's Commentary on the Interpretation of Texts: "Sui, YangMuye, Congmu, Suisheng." "Eye" is combined with "falcon", which means "sharp eyes". Sima Qian's "Book of Heavenly Officials" Yun: "With the September and the wing, the morning rises, and the heavens are sui." "Sui" is because of the auspicious bird and the word, and is related to the auspicious star, the ancients named "Suishui" with the word "Sui", which should be full of expectations for the growth of all things. Sui Ning's anecdotal story says that according to legend, Xu Guojun came to Pidi and found many short-tailed birds, which were collectively known as Falcon Birds. The sawabs breed in large numbers here and become a pest. Xu Guojun heard from his courtiers that Peng Zu had cooked delicious pheasant soup and dedicated it to Emperor Yao, and Peng Zu's descendants were mostly good at cooking falcons, and they could use this method to get rid of the falcons. Therefore, the monarch named one of Peng Zu's descendants as "Eliminating Falcon Heavy Ministers", asked him to make Hayabusa food for himself, and recommended this delicacy to the King of Zhou. King Zhou liked it very much and visited Piguo to watch the falcons flying on the water and was in a happy mood. Witnessing the Sawa, the eye and the falcon merged to form the "Sui", so this water system was named "SuiShui".

Suishui is the origin of the Sui surname and the source of the Shui tribe. According to the Southern Song Dynasty Zhengqiao's "Tongzhi Clan Sketch", the Sui clan was enthroned by Zhao Dafu of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for his merits at Suiyi on the banks of the SuiShui River, and "his descendants settled in his land, and his surname was named after the place of food and harvest, which was the surname of Sui". The shui people, one of the 56 ethnic groups in China, also came out of the Suishui River. According to literature, in ancient times, the Shui people originally lived in the ancient Suishui River Basin in the Central Plains, and were descendants of Yin Shang, and the Zhou Dynasty was forced to move south to Lingnan due to war, and then to Qiannan, Guizhou. For thousands of years, the water tribe has not forgotten the ancient saying of "drinking water and becoming a Sui people", always remembering their roots, and is known as "the nobleman who came from ancient times".
