For thousands of years, the fertile land nourished by the water network has given birth to a splendid agricultural civilization and preserved a unique world-important agricultural cultural heritage. "The river has ten thousand bays and more blue water, and there is no stack of yellow flowers in the field." The beautiful picture of water rejuvenation is displayed in front of the eyes of the world.
Inherit the historical context of water: from being born of water to managing water and ensuring people
"Xinghua is bordered by the sea to the east, the Huai River to the north, the lake is vast, and the city is placed in it, and the country is also a ze." The "Chronicle of Xinghua County" during the Kangxi Dynasty, with only a few words, accurately describes the location and regional characteristics of this land. Xinghua is located in the hinterland of the Lixia River, with a dense water network and longitudinal rivers, nearly 13,000 large and small rivers, 20 lakes and lakes listed in the provincial protection directory, and the water area accounts for 1/4 of the total area of the city. The abundant water resources have bred a brilliant culture of the Lixia River, and have also caused the people of the water towns to suffer from floods and floods. According to the Xinghua Local Chronicle, from 1116 to 1990 around 875 AD, Xinghua experienced a total of 189 flood disasters. Xinghua people struggle to survive in their "interactions" with water. The history of Xinghua is a history of being born of water and governing water and ensuring the safety of the people.
In the history of Xinghua water control, the most enjoyable thing is Fan Zhongyan's construction of the Hanhai Weir. When Fan Zhongyan was serving as the salt official of Xixi in Taizhou, the autumn tides endangered Hailing and Xinghua, causing serious disasters, and more than 3,000 families fled hungry. He asked for the people's orders and took the initiative to propose to Zhang Lun, the envoy of the transport, to serve as Xinghua Zhi County and repair the Hanhai Weir. Zhang Lun played the chapter and asked Fan Zhongyan to be appointed to Xinghua Zhi County, and was generally responsible for repairing the weir. In 1023, Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the commander of Xinghua County, and more than 40,000 people were recruited from Tongzhou, Taizhou, Haizhou, and Chuzhou to rebuild The Hanhaiyan. In 1026, Fan Zhongyan's term as Xinghua Zhi County was not completed, and he was transferred to the Grain Andry Academy of Chu Prefecture, where he was worried about the death of his mother. When others left Xinghua, they still did not forget the matter of repairing the weir, wrote a letter to Zhang Lun, and forced Chen Xiuyan to benefit, which touched Zhang Lun and continued to promote the repair of the weir. After the completion of the Hanhai Weir, the land spans the three prefectures of Tongtong, Tai and Hai, and is 180 miles long, so that the cultivation of the people in the west of the Yan and the frying salt of the salt are guaranteed. The people did not forget the merits of Fan Zhongyan's initiation of the repair of the weir, and changed the name of the weir to "Fan Gong Causeway".
In 1991, Xinghua suffered a rare flood disaster in a century, flooding all farmland, flooding most of the city, and moving 420,000 people. In the years since, xinghua has had several floods and floods. The municipal party committee and the municipal government have made every effort to strengthen the construction of the urban flood prevention system and establish a flood prevention mechanism of zoning fortification, comprehensive circle and sub-frame drainage.
