It is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, second only to Yalong River in length and second only to Minjiang River in flow.

Traditionally, Jialing River has two sources: Dongyu River, which originated from Daiwang Mountain in Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province; The water of the Western Han Dynasty originated in Qishou Mountain, Qishou Township, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province.

Hydrological characteristics of Jialing River

The most striking feature of Jialing River is that there are many attacks on it. The upper reaches of Jialing River above Lueyang originally belonged to Hanjiang River system, which was later seized by Jialing River. The main stream of Hanjiang River turns into a canyon above Lijinba, but the tributary Qingnigou is a wide valley, and the head of the ditch crosses a low watershed. There is a pebble bed alluvial by rivers on the ridge, with a thickness of about 0.5 meters, and the pebble size is uniform, generally about 3 ~ 5 cm in diameter, with schist at the bottom.

Xiangshuigou, a secondary tributary of Jialing River, flows northwards to Daijiaba to join Gong Jiahe, and then flows westward to intersect Jialing River at right angles, which is the black water on the east bank of Jialing River. Obviously, the source of Hanjiang River is small and the valley is large, so there is no high watershed to Jialing River, which is out of proportion. The tributary on the west side of Jialing River is particularly long, and the tributary on the east side is very short, while many tributaries of Hanjiang River extend to Jialing River basin. The naming of the West Han River, a tributary of Jialing River, also shows that ancient geographers in China have long held the view that Jialing River attacked the source of Han River.
