On the afternoon of June 5, the press conference of the 2019 Okino Taihang Nogawa Mountain Running Challenge was held in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and it is reported that the Mountain Trail Running Challenge will be held in Nogawa Town, Gaoping City from August 24 to 25, and the competition has set up three groups of 120KM, 60KM and 36KM, which is currently the longest cross-country running event in Shanxi Province.

At the press conference, Chen Yun, mayor of Nogawa Town, introduced that Nogawa was Jialu's hometown. Which Jaru? Jalu of the Jalu River. Jialu's hometown commemorates Jialu, why is the Jialu River in Henan named after a Shanxi person?

The Yellow River broke its banks, Jia Luzhi was meritorious in its water, and the dredging of the river channel was named after it

Beginning in the Jin Dynasty, the Yellow River was diverted and reclaimed into the sea.

According to the "History of Yuan", "In the summer and May of the fourth year of the Yuan Shun Emperor's reign, heavy rains for more than 20 days, the Yellow River overflowed, the horizontal depth was two zhangxu, and the north broke the Baimao Causeway. In June, the Golden Causeway broke north. ”

At that time, the places along the river were "flooded", the disaster was heavy, the people's houses were flooded, and the young and middle-aged laborers left their homes and fled in exile, which was "a great obstacle to the country's plan."

In the eighth year, Jia Lu inspected the topography of the river, drew a topographic map of the Yellow River, and took two strategies to relieve the river: first, to build the north embankment, the plan cost less, but once the embankment was built, the flood that spilled north into the territory of Shandong would form a huge lake in the Peixian area, and then encounter a flood or break the embankment, the consequences would be even more unimaginable; the second was to dredge and restore the old road, which could not only solve the flooding problem of the Yellow River, but also ensure the safety of the canal and the salt field, but the investment in the program was huge. At the time, both plans were rejected by the dynasty.

By May of the ninth year, the water from the mouth of the Yellow River flowed from the northeast to Peixian and rushed into the Grand Canal, posing a great threat to the water transport and salt works at that time.

In the winter of the ninth year of Zhengzheng, he was restored to the position of chancellor, who was later called "Xianxiang", and summoned the ministers to discuss the matter of "river decision", at that time, only Jialu said that "it will be ruled." After detachment, jialu was introduced to Emperor Yuanshun. In fact, at that time, Jia Lu was a little reluctant, but he was rejected by the detachment: "This matter must be done." ”

On the fourth day of April of the eleventh year of the reign of Emperor Yuanshun, Emperor Yuanshun issued an edict appointing Jia Lu as the commander-in-chief of the river defense envoy, "entering the rank of erpin and granting a silver seal".

In April of that year, the then 55-year-old Jia Lu led a total of 170,000 people from Bieliang (Kaifeng), Daming, and Luzhou to start treating the river.

According to the "Records of the Defense of the Zhizheng River" written by Ouyang Xuan, a scholar of Hanlin in the Yuan Dynasty, when Jia Lu was managing a river embankment breach, he caught up with the autumn flood, and "the whirlpool was turbulent and it was difficult to sweep down."

After Jia Lu visited the field and observed the water conditions, he came up with the "Stone Boat Embankment Barrier Method". He ordered his men to tie 27 large ships together with hemp rope and other objects, and then loaded the stones into the boats, covered them with wooden planks, and then had the boats cut through, sinking into embankments and blocking the breach.

Jialu dredged, dredged, and stopped at the same time, while blocking the breach, dredged the old road and dug a new river channel, including the canal he chiseled from Mixian County, through Zhengzhou and Zhongmu, to the south to Weishi, and then into the ancient canal into the Fugou through Xihua to the Zhoukou into the Huai River, which is the flow direction of today's Jialu River.

"In July, the dredging is formed, in August the river is broken, in September the boat passes, in November the water and soil work is completed, and the levees are swept away." The river is the road of restoration, the south meets Huai, and the east enters the sea. "For 7 months, Jia Luping had a flood.

While calming the flood, Jialu also allowed the rapid development of water transport and commerce in the Kaifeng area, and Zhuxian Town, one of the four famous towns, quickly prospered and became the largest water transport terminal in North China at that time.

The people of Henan thanked Jialu for his meritorious efforts in controlling water, and in order to commemorate this water conservancy and expert in controlling yellow, they renamed the re-dredged river Huimin River "Jialu River".

Zhengzhou Society promulgated the "Regulations on the Protection of the Jialu River in Zhengzhou City (Draft for Comments)", and the governance of the Jialu River has entered a new era

The Zhengzhou Chronicle also confirms the origin of the name of the Jialu River.

According to the "Zhengzhou Chronicle", the Jialu River originates from the holy water yu of Baizhai in Zhengzhou's MiXian County and the ice springs, warm springs and Jiuniangmiao springs in the Erqi District, flows northeast through Houzhai and Xiliu Lake, flows eastward to the northern suburbs of Laoya Chen Fold, passes through Liulin and Yaoqiao, then passes through Zhongmu Baisha, goes around the southeast of the county seat to Huxinzhuang and flows into Weishi County, and then flows into Shaying River through Zhoukou City, and then into the Huai River. During the Yuan to Zheng years, Jia Lu led the dredging work, hence the name.

The Jialu River is 137km long in Zhengzhou, which is the longest inland river in Zhengzhou, and the Suosu River, Wei River, Qili River, Jinshui River and Xiong'er River are its tributaries, known as the "Mother River" of Zhengzhou.

With the rapid increase of economic and social development and population, the jalu river channel shrinks, the function declines, the ecological deterioration, and the lack of culture becomes increasingly prominent. The construction of illegal buildings on both sides of the river and the random dumping of garbage have spread, resulting in the narrowing of the flood section of the river and the serious obstruction of water; a large amount of sewage is directly discharged into the river, and the water quality is seriously polluted. The ecological deterioration of the Jialu River system restricts the healthy economic and social development of Zhengzhou and affects the improvement of Zhengzhou's urban taste.

In March 2016, the jialu river comprehensive treatment project was officially launched. Nowadays, the Jialu River Comprehensive Treatment Project, as an important part of Zhengzhou's construction of a national ecological civilization pilot demonstration zone and a national ecological civilization pilot city, is listed as one of the nine support projects for Zhengzhou to build a national central city.

According to the planning and design, after the completion of the project, the narrowest part of the Jialu River is not less than 90 meters, the widest part is 350 meters wide, and the total area is 24.62 square kilometers, of which: the water surface area is 7.92 square kilometers, the green area is 16.7 square kilometers, the flood control standard of the urban section will be raised to 100 years, and the flood control standard of other river sections will be raised to once in 50 years, and the water quality will remain above class IV.

Today, after years of comprehensive management, the old appearance of the Jalu River has been renewed. In the past, dirty water flowed, but now the clear water is rising, and the grass on both sides of the strait is flying.

According to public information, the Jialu River after treatment will provide guarantees for conserving groundwater, improving the quality of the water environment in the basin, regional air quality, restoring water ecology, and improving the carrying capacity of water resources in Zhengzhou; at the same time, the project is supplemented by paving, buildings, skits, sports facilities, sponge city, water supply and drainage, landscape lighting, smart water and other projects. The Jialu River will become the largest "ecological corridor" in Zhengzhou.

According to the materials provided by the Nogawa town government, on April 27 this year, Zhang Shengli, director of the Zhengzhou Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau, led a team to Nogawa to investigate.

Zhang Shengli said that the Jialu River flows through more than 200 kilometers in Henan, and the people of Henan all greatly respect the ancestor Jialu, and when they go to Jialu's hometown to investigate, it is to carry forward and inherit the Jialu culture and the Jialu spirit.

Chen Yun, mayor of Yechuan Town, told the Henan Business Daily reporter: "At present, Yechuan Town also lives with the descendants of Jialu, and we also hope that friends in Henan can come to Nogawa as guests and exchange and learn Jialu culture with us." ”

On May 29 this year, the Zhengzhou Municipal Government promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of the Jialu River in Zhengzhou (Draft for Solicitation of Comments), hereinafter referred to as the Draft for Comments. The Henan Business Daily reporter saw from the "Draft for Comments" that water quality, water quantity, culture, sewage discharge, dredging and dredging, engineering construction, agricultural pollution prevention, etc. are all covered by the "Draft for Comments".

According to the "Draft for Comments", its legislative purpose is: to strengthen the protection and management of the Jialu River, give play to its functions of flood prevention, drainage, ecology and landscape, discover and protect the history and culture of water rejuvenation and water control, promote the construction of water ecological civilization, and build the Jialu River into a "safe river", "ecological river", "landscape river", "wenmai river" and "happy river".

Green mountains and green water, green water and green mountains. From ancient times to the present, the river is stable and the Haiyan River is clear. It is believed that with the advancement of legislative work, the governance and management of the Jialu River will enter a new era.
