Channel characteristics

Rivers in China generally flow from northwest to southeast; However, Ren River flows in the opposite direction, flowing from southeast to northwest, crossing Bashan, and turning to northeast in Qingjing Township. Most of the main stream is located in the canyon area, and many reaches form symmetrical V-shaped river valleys. The V-shape of the valley section is characteristic of the early rivers. The flow of the opposite direction is caused by the special geological background of this young water system. Around the time of the Himalayan Movement, the Daba Mountains, originally located in the trough of the sea, gradually rose and raised, increasing the erosion of the river, creating a unique modern flow and wonders across the Basan Mountains.
Ren River with its valleys and beaches, and the mountain peaks and peaks of the Bashan partner, together to form a magnificent landscape. In the upper and middle reaches of the Renhe River, Chengkou, Wanyuan County, there are Gray Dragon Gorge, Qinglong Gorge, Pingbahe Gorge and other grand canyons, and the Sanli Gorge at the Sichuan-Shaanxi junction is the most spectacular among them. Thirty Mile Gorge is also known as Mulan Gorge. From the southeast to the northwest, Ren River broke through the Daba ridge, and the waves ran 10 kilometers, and the flow beach reached 28 places.

Origin of name

broadcast
EDITOR
The upper, middle and lower reaches of the Ren River have their own names. [1] In Chengkou County, the Qing Dynasty built Chengkou Hall used to be called Jiujiang (it is said that because of the integration of nine tributaries, so the name), after the establishment of the hall was renamed Chengkou River, and at the beginning of the new country, it was renamed Renhe. Wanyuan County is also known as the big bamboo River, North River. The downstream Shaanxi is called Ren River and Waiquan River (mostly referring to Bajiao Estuary to Quan River). [3]
Ren River a, the Northern Wei Li Daoyuan "Water book Notes" volume 27 contained: "(Guangcheng County) county governing Wang Valley, valley road south out of Ba Liao, there are salt Wells." Guangcheng County was established in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Ming History records: "Taiping County, Dazhou... Ren estuary is also known as "fish breast valley mouth". "Notes on the Book of Water" said: "The Hanshui River and the eastern mouth of the fish breast Valley, the old Xicheng, Guangcheng two counties, refers to this valley and the boundary." Mr. Deng Shaoqin, an expert in Bashi history, believes that the Renhe River is Pengxi of the "Water Classics · Mianshui Notes", which is the place where the Pangluan Barbarian people live.
The name of Ren River, before the Ming Dynasty, appeared in the Ming History. There are many Ren names in the lower reaches of Ren River, and people think that Ren River is named after it. However, both the Shi Ji Qin Ben Ji and the Chronology of the Six States recorded that "in the thirteenth year of Kanggu of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (294 BC), Ren Bi served as the commander of the Han Dynasty." Ren Bi "secure the Ba people, defend the Chu people", compensate the families of the Ba people and the Chu war killed, named the fallen Ba leaders as "white tiger God" to build a temple. Ren Bi also claimed to be "the ancient country, after too hobart, Yun Nuwa born", leading to participate in the activities of the Ba people ancestor worship, in accordance with the Ba people's ancient style, enhanced the cohesion and goodness of the Ba people. Ren Bi had a great influence on ancient Badi in the upper reaches of the Hanshui River. Whether the name "Ren He" came from Ren Bi may be reexamined.
"Water book notes" records: "County King Valley, valley road south out of Ba Liao, there are salt Wells. Cannibalism makes people sick." The word "hunt" means vicious looking and hunting at night, from "Shuowen" "hunt also". Ba Liao also refers to the Ba people and their living habits in ancient China.
According to the Annals of Shaanxi, "The Valley of the King is an error of the valley of the nonren." Ren Valley is the valley of the Ren River, which was an important communication route from Ankang Basin to northern Sichuan in ancient times. Ren River is now called Ren River." Wang Valley, is the wrong historical record of the Nongu, modern Ren River. [10]

landform

The upper reaches of Chengkou County of Chongqing are Micang Mountain and Daba Mountain, which are controlled by geological structure and lithology. The mountains spread from north west to south east. From the north to the south, there are five mountains: Daba Mountain, Niuxin Mountain, flag Pole Mountain, Bang Bang Liang, and Eight Tai Mountain. Among them are the peaks of 2000-2500 meters above sea level. The central flag pole Mountain is the watershed between the north and south water systems. Because the relative height difference of the valley is more than 1000 meters, and the valley slope is steep, the county landform has formed a four-level Yi thousand faces, descending layer by layer from north to south. There are four levels of river valley with an altitude of 2200-2400 meters, 1800-2000 meters, 1100-1400 meters and 600-800 meters. The top planation surface is widely distributed at 2300 to 2500 meters above sea level. From southwest to northeast, the ridge and valley are formed, and the relative height difference is large. The stratified landform is obvious, and the stratified structure is W shape. There are negative landforms of melt erosion valley and melt erosion depression to the south of the flag pole Mountain. Class 3-4 terraces are generally developed in the Renhe Valley. The highest point is bald mountain, 2685.7 meters above sea level, the lowest point is 481.5 meters above sea level along the river township, the county is on the high side in the south east and on the low side in the north west. [11]
Daba Mountain is a famous mountain in China. It is a general name for the border mountains of Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and Hubei provinces. Including Motianling Mountain, Micang Mountain, Wudang Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain. Ren River east, south of the Han River for the narrow sense of Daba Mountain, the southeast of the county is located in its north foot west section. The Daba Mountain within the county has a total area of about 1000 square kilometers, and 24 townships (towns) are distributed in the area; Donghe River is the boundary in the east, and Langao County area; West for the Ren River, with Micang Mountain across the river opposite; South to the Sichuan - Shaanxi border Daba ridge; North to the Han River. With an altitude of 280-2522 meters, there are 51 peaks above kilometers, and the peaks above 2000 meters in the county are distributed in the district. The highest peaks are the five bales on the Sichuan-Shaanxi border, followed by Chi朳 Daliang (2,279 meters), Jieling (2,260 meters), Da Sun Mountain (2,137 meters) and Zhongshan Zhai (2,118 meters). Many mountain streams develop in the Daba Ridge, and the north flow forms a terrain of deep canyons and steep mountains. The largest tributaries of the Han River in the region are Dong River, Yo River and Ren River, the larger tributaries of Kwon River, Rouxi River and Banxiang River. Micang Mountain is a part of Daba Mountain and is bounded by Ren River in the narrow sense of Daba Mountain. The southwest of the county is its eastern edge. The total area of Micang Mountain in the county is about 850 square kilometers, and 24 townships (towns) are distributed in the area. It is 285-1799 meters above sea level, and there are 47 peaks above kilometers, with Lao LAN Mountain as the highest. Water system development, rivers and streams flow from northwest to southeast, into the Ren River or Han River. The larger tributaries are Zhu River, Maliuba River, Zhuxi River, Mianyang River and so on. [12]

Climatic characteristics

Chengkou County, the upper reaches of the Sichuan basin, belongs to the north subtropical mountain climate, the subtropical monsoon climate area. Because the mountain is high and the valley is deep, the height difference is large, and the mountain has the characteristics of three-dimensional climate. The main climatic characteristics are: mild climate, abundant rainfall, sufficient sunshine, four distinct seasons, long winter and short summer. Spring temperature rise quickly, but unstable, often "cold spring" weather appeared; Summer precipitation concentration, July and August more drought, before and after the flood; Autumn cooling fast, many continuous rainy weather; Winter is long and low in temperature. The annual average temperature is 13.8℃. The inter-annual change is relatively stable. The average annual maximum temperature is 14.5℃ and the minimum temperature is 13.0℃. The average frost-free period is 234 days, the average annual rainfall days are 166 days, and the average annual sunshine duration is 1534 hours. The average annual precipitation is 1261.4 mm, and the precipitation trend is decreasing from southwest to northeast. The average annual wind speed is 0.2 m/s, and the wind direction is mostly southwest wind.
Chengkou is located in Daba Mountain, the altitude difference is large, different geographical locations have a certain impact on the climate. Spring and summer are delayed with the increase of mountain height, and autumn and winter are advanced and extended with the increase of mountain height. The climatic conditions are better in the low and middle mountain areas. In the case of the same altitude, the annual average temperature in the southernmost area of Chengkou is about 1 degree higher than that in the northernmost area. The southern region has more rainfall than the northern region.
The terrain is high in the southwest and low in the northeast, forming the basic outline of "three mountains, two valleys and one river"; The Han River runs from west to east, and the Ren River flows into the Han River from south to north. The two river valleys divide the county into the Daba Mountain area in the southeast, the Micang Mountain area in the southwest, the Phoenix Mountain area in the north and the Haoping River Road in the east. The county because of the north Qinling Mountain and Phoenix Mountain two mountains blocking the northwest cold current, the south has Ren valley to transport southwest heating, so there is no summer heat, winter without cold. Due to the large relative height difference of the mountain, it shows three-dimensional climate characteristics. The average annual temperature in the low mountain valley area is 15.1℃, the average annual rainfall is 1127.8 mm, the humidity index is 1.94, the average annual sunshine is 1606.8 hours, the percentage of sunshine is 36%, the accumulated temperature of 10℃ is 4669℃, and the frost-free period is 268 days, which belongs to the north subtropical humid monsoon climate. The temperature, sunshine and frost-free period in the middle and high mountain areas decrease with the elevation. There is a significant difference between the high mountain area above 1800 meters and the middle and low mountain area. [13]

[16] Because it is located in Wanqing pool and water source, it is named Wanyuan. It is an important commodity distribution center in the northeast border of Sichuan Province. Xia Shang Liangzhou, Zhou Yongzhou area, spring and autumn Warring States belongs to Ba, after the calendar belongs to Xuanhan, Zengkou, Dongxiang and other counties. Ming Taiping County, the Republic of China three years (1914) because of the same name with Anhui Taiping County, changed to Wanyuan County.

In 1933, the Red Army established a base area in Chuanshan, where the Soviet government of Chengkou County was established, and it was one of the important market towns in Wanyuan. Dazhu River for Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei trade materials must pass through and transfer station, Dazhuchang town is known as "small Wuhan". [10]

Related legend

There are some interesting place names in Dazhou, some are named after mountains, some are named after canyons, and some are named after plants and animals. There is a place in Wanyuan called Ren River, but it is named after the river, tracing the origin of the place name, there is a beautiful legend.
Ren River is a tributary of the Han River, originating in Baishui Cave, Chengkou County, Chongqing, and flowing through Dazhu River District, Wanyuan City. According to legend, the white water cave was originally a trickle of small river gully, can only provide drinking water for a few local families, a drought, crops will be damaged, farmers had to pray for rain, in order to protect the harvest. One year, the crops died in the great drought, and the people searched for food everywhere, even the wild fruit could not be found, and many people starved to death. One morning, a boy named Luzzo went up to the mountain to cut wood, and suddenly found a bright and smooth thing under a fallen leaf. Because he was so hungry, he had no time to look at it, so he picked it up and swallowed it. Did not expect this thing turned out to be a "pearl", swallowed into the stomach not only hungry, and especially thirsty, then quickly ran home to drink water, his mother saw that the water in the tank was almost finished, he was surprised to ask: "The child how you are so thirsty, is it a strange disease." Mother asked again and again, but he did not answer. Because of his thirst, Luzzo went to the white water cave to drink water. While he was drinking, suddenly there was a loud noise, and a huge current burst out from the crack in the stone and rushed towards him. He quickly got up and turned around and ran, but the water also flowed to where he ran. Hearing the sound, the mother hurried out to see her son. Seeing the flood surrounded her son, she was frightened and burst into tears. But Luzzo did not dare to run home for fear that the water would drown his mother, but he thought of his lonely mother, so he stopped for a moment and looked back at his mother who was standing in front of the house crying. Who knew that every time he stopped, a deep pool formed at his feet, and he looked back 24 times, so there were 24 "Wangniang pools" in the Ren River.
Where Luzo ran, became a swamp, destroyed countless farmland, drowned a lot of villagers, when people are at a loss, the Jade Emperor just sent heaven to see the people, that day the master learned that the cause of the disaster is because Luzo swallowed a thousand years of cultivation of the fox spirit lost "pearl", heaven immediately reported to the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor then summoned to rescue the Goddess of Mercy, Send her down to clean up the mess. At this time, Luzzo became a hungry and anorexic drinking "monster." So Guanyin Bodhisattva dressed as an old woman selling pasta, came to the bank of the Hanshui River, Luzo smelled the fragrance of pasta, saw that there were many people to eat, and aroused his appetite, but after he ate noodles, his heart suddenly a tight, stomach more and more swollen, like a chain locked, very uncomfortable. Guanyin Bodhisattva said to him: "You were originally a good man who cut wood, just because you mistakenly swallowed the 'pearl of the night', alarmed the dragon God, caused floods, hurt innocent people, theoretically should be punished, but read you are a filial son, let you live." After Luzzo was saved, he showed more filial respect to his mother, did many good things for the village, and was loved by the villagers.
The fox spirit cultivated for thousands of years was also subdued by the Jade Emperor, and could not harm people in the world. And the place where Luzzo ran also became a river, so people named it Ren River (also known as the human River), and turned this river into a benefit, for the benefit of a people. [22]

In the upper reaches of Chengkou County, except for the section from Gaowang to the county seat, wooden boats can be passed, and the remaining sections of the river are all because of the steep beach, many rocks, and no shipping value. [2]
The upper reaches of the Ren River are mostly used for the exile of bamboo rafts, and the lower reaches can pass 3-6 tons of wooden sailing boats. After the 1970s, the river gradually silted up and the channel was abandoned. [27]

shipping

The Republic of China and before, Dazhu River area of material exports mainly rely on water transport, Chuan Yan and Da County (Dazhou city) yellow watch paper from Xuanhan Guandu (Xinhua Town), rely on human shoulders over Jingzhu Mountain, Chong day view, Ma Bin Ling and sheep jumping rock mountain canyon 120 miles to Dazhu River, and then water transport to Shaanxi or Hubei. The export of tung and tea in the northwest of Chengkou County and the north of Wanyuan is also transported by the Dazhu River. Hubei, Shaanxi cotton, cloth, Anhui medicinal materials (poria, amomum, coptis, bacchus, areca nut, rehmannia) and Sichuan pepper were transported to Dazhu River by water after landing human and animal power transfer to eastern Sichuan. It is said that "a yellow dragon goes out of the river and a white dragon goes into the river", which means that yellow watch paper is transferred from the big bamboo River to Shaanxi, and Shaanxi cotton is transported by water to the big bamboo River for distribution.
Before the Qing Dynasty Xianfeng years, there were foreign businessmen in Dazhuchang Town to establish a business, build a hall, and there was a "million merchants gathered" wooden plaque hanging on the pier in the middle street. From 1921 to 1948, there were "Tongyi", "Huai Ji", "Sheng Xing Association", "Long hair" and "Xing Shun". Among them, Cheng Changfa's "long hair" warehouse and "Xing Shun" warehouse have managers, accounting Mr. About dozens to more than 100 people. Ren River, the masts are connected to the sail, more than 300 sailing wooden boats a day, boatmen and shipping capacity of more than 2000 people a day, the annual cargo throughput of about 10,000 tons, it can be said that the market is prosperous, business is booming. After the passage of the Three Gorges steamship, the materials entering and leaving the Ren River have been reduced, salt, cotton, yellow table, black tea, medicinal materials still pass through here. After the opening of Han-Yu Highway and Xiang-yu Railway, the water navigation of Ren River gradually disappeared. [10]
Bayan to the north, mainly take the Ren river road. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the former, middle and later Sanhe salt farms, including Wentang well salt distribution in Kaixian County, were under the jurisdiction of Dazhou Nanchang Tan Tuoshi. Ming Chenghua years of toast change flow, toast ran home still franchised salt until the Republic of China years. Ran home salt shop all over the place, only Wan Yuan Luo Wen first had Xuan Han Ran home "light Yu Gong", after Liu Wancheng's "concentric blessing", He Dai Mountain's "Xietai Xiang", Fu Zexian's "Xinyi" and other salt shops. In the early years of the Republic of China, Ran home salt store withdrawal.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, passenger ships sailed directly from Dazhu River to Wuhan. Dazhu Town used to be an important port station for Ren River shipping, and is one of the four famous ancient towns in Sichuan and Shaanxi, known as "Little Wuhan". At that time, the ancient town was bustling and lively, and merchants gathered in various roads. The agricultural and sideline local products such as tea, walnuts, raw paint, and traditional Chinese medicine villages and Ba salt from Daba Mountain continuously came out of the river from here, and a boatload of daily materials such as cloth, kerosene, and white goods and paper were exchanged for Bashan Mountain. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, salt was difficult in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so the Qing government took Ba salt and shipped it out from the Ren River by wooden boats. At the mouth of the Mu LAN Gorge in the lower reaches of the Ren River, a memorial tablet was left at that time. During the Anti-Japanese War, Haiyan was blocked by the Japanese army, and the nationalist government adopted "Chuan Yan Ji Chu". In 1948, in order to sell green salt, the Northwest Salt Bureau banned Sichuan salt from entering Shaanxi, and the operation of Renhe Salt Road was terminated. [10]

Waterway regulation

The rock is 5498.17 cubic meters, the stone is 1162.23 cubic meters, and the towpath is repaired at 31 places, with a total of 2689 meters, so that the water depth reaches 0.5 meters, the width of the navigation trough is 7-9 meters, and the bending radius reaches 30-60 meters, which ADAPTS to the needs of wooden ship transportation.
After the initial treatment of the Renhe waterway, the freight rate was reduced by 18% ~ 25% due to the increase of load and sailing speed. More than 200 tons of tea are shipped annually, which can save more than 100,000 yuan of freight. Due to the removal of the most dangerous beach in the upper reaches of the Ren River, the obstacles of the Mulian River Beach, the Marine accidents have been greatly reduced, such as only 26 Marine accidents in 1957, which is more than 2/3 less than 90 in 1952. North Sichuan area (such as Chengkou, Wanyuan and other places) annual transport volume of more than 3,000 tons of mountain goods, tea and other materials can be successfully shipped out, prosperity of the mountain economy. After the renovation of the Ren River, the number of trips was reduced to 11, and the round-trip voyage was reduced to 19 days. Load capacity increased from 4 tons to 5 ~ 6 tons. As a result, the freight rate has been reduced from 175.08 yuan per ton (the whole process) to 164.10 yuan, saving 10.98 yuan per ton. Only after the Mulian Cave Beach is no longer moved, the beach fee will be reduced by 2 yuan per ton of goods.
1958年12月,紫阳县水陆运输公司抽调24名工人,整治任河浅滩32处,炸礁石44立方米,完工的当天,就有4只木船共运食盐1.2万斤到葛家坪,群众敲锣打鼓庆贺航道恢复船运,给当地人民群众带来了幸福。
In 1962, the inland waterway Navigation Administration of Ankang Special Zone allocated 660,000 yuan for channel maintenance to control the Bajiaokou and Guanyinzhai sections of the Renhe River. Since the Ren River is unimpeded after treatment, Ankang region has imposed a river maintenance fee of 2% of wooden ship freight revenue since 1970. [27]
