Where on earth is the Liusha River occupied by Friar Sand in The Journey to the West in China?

Most monsters in The Journey to the West are entrenched in deep mountains, but a few monsters have occupied rivers. So, which rivers once lived with monsters? Can these rivers, once occupied by monsters, have realistic shadows?

Liushahe? Occupant: Friar Sand

The Liusha River is the first big river in The Journey to the West. The original book describes the quicksand river like this: I saw a flood raging, muddy waves surging. ? The stone tablet on the bank of quicksand reads:? 8 quicksand boundary, 3, weak water depth. Goose feathers can't float, and reed flowers will sink at the bottom. ?

where is the real Liusha River? Liushahe? Flood tide? It shows that the river has a large amount of water; ? Muddy waves and surges? , indicating that the river has a large sediment concentration, which seems to refer to the Yellow River. But from? 3 thousand weak water depth? This sentence should refer to weak water. Records in Shan Hai Jing? There is water in the north of Kunlun Mountain, and its strength can't beat mustard, hence the name weak water? In later ancient literature, weak water was gradually used to refer to dangerous and distant rivers. Weak water refers to dangerous rivers and seas in ancient myths and legends. Ten continents at home? Is there in Fenglinzhou? Fenglinzhou is in the middle of the West Sea, with a place of 1,5 miles. It is surrounded by weak water, and a feather cannot float. ? In ancient times, many shallow and swift rivers could only be transited by rafts instead of boats. The ancients thought that it was because the water was too weak to carry boats, so they called such rivers weak water.

so, what is the current situation of weak water?

Weak water originated in Qilian Mountain, not as mentioned in Shan Hai Jing? North of Kunlun? . Heihe River, the second largest inland river in China, flows through Qinghai Province, Gansu Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a total length of 821 kilometers. The upstream flows in Zhangye, Gansu, and flows to Jiuquan, renamed Weak Water. To the north of Huxi New Village, it is divided into two branches, the west branch is called Xihe River and Mulin River, and the north flow is injected into Gashunuoer; The east branch is called Donghe River, also called Nalin River, and flows northward into Sougou Noel. The two lakes are collectively called Juyanhai. According to the data from 1962 to 197 at Laige Aobao Station in Xihe River and Baoduge Station in Donghe River, the annual runoff of the two rivers added up to only 42 million cubic meters. Since 197, due to the continuous decrease of water volume, Sougou Noel has already dried up into a saline-alkali beach. Although it is a salt lake, Gashun Noel still maintains a certain water surface and has dried up in recent years.

today's weak water is not large, and the important reason is that the water consumption in the middle reaches is too large, resulting in a serious shortage of water in the lower reaches and ecological deterioration. Especially in the 199s, the Caotanzhuang water diversion project was built in the middle reaches, and the Ejina River was introduced from the east and west irrigation canals to the alluvial platform in the south of Zhangye, which was used to irrigate farmland. As a result, the downstream water volume decreased sharply, lakes dried up, springs disappeared, groundwater declined, grassland degraded, desertification accelerated and sandstorms occurred frequently. Friar Sand may not be able to hide his body if he still lives in weak water today.

Heishui River? Occupant: Xiaolong

The characteristic of Heishui River is water black. The ink is rolling all over the place, and the dust is surging for thousands of miles. Water foam floats like charcoal, and spray floats like turning coal? It's too dark for cattle and sheep not to drink, and it's hard for crows and magpies to fly and be afraid of being mysterious. . From this description, Heishui River seems to be a deeply polluted river. According to the TV series The Journey to the West, the Heishui River was not black, but the ninth son of the Jinghe Dragon King, Ji Long (Ji Jie), defeated the river god and occupied the Heishui River, and the river turned black. This Jie Jie is a typical failure of family education, with little skill and a lot of temper. Although the position of the West Sea Dragon King in the divine world is not high, it does not affect the oppression of the lower-level little people like the River God.

So, where is the Heishui River? Today's Heishui River is a tributary of Zuojiang River in Xijiang River system. Originated in Jingxi City, Guangxi, it flows through Vietnam and Chongzuo City, Guangxi, and flows into Zuojiang River at the junction of Mianhe Village in Xiangshui Town. The original book says, The demon came here from the western sea in May of the old year, taking advantage of the spring tide? It can be seen that this should be an outflow river that can eventually flow into the ocean. However, the Tang Priest obviously didn't pass through Guangxi, so the Heishui River in Journey to the West can't correspond to the real river, and it may be a river in the Hexi Corridor.

Tongtian River? Occupant: carp essence

Carp essence is probably the most famous monster in the water. It is similar to Tanjie in Heishui River. It came to Tongtianhe nine years ago, taking advantage of the spring tide, occupied the mansion of the old Catfish, and forced the local people to send a pair of boys and girls for him to enjoy every year.

today's Tongtian River is a section of the main stream of the Yangtze River, which refers to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River from the junction of Dangqu and Tuotuo River at Nangji Balong to the confluence of Batang River. The main stream of Tongtian River is bow-shaped, with a total length of 828 kilometers. Obviously, Master Xuanzang's westward journey in history did not pass through the Tongtian River on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The most successful work of carp essence is that it snowed heavily and frozen the Tongtian River. Although Pig Bajie has accumulated rich experience in ice skating, Tang Priest was still successfully caught by carp essence. Then, in reality, is it really possible to snow before and after the Millennium? After the Tang Priest left Chang 'an (now Xi 'an) for the west, the area he passed through basically belonged to temperate continental climate, with higher temperature in annual range and more extreme weather. Taking Xinjiang as an example, Urumqi generally enters the snowfall period after October of the Gregorian calendar, but the earliest date can be traced back to August 29. The story of Tongtianhe happened on the second day of the Millennium (September 7 and 8 every year), so it is still possible to snow if there is a strong cold wave. However, although the cold wave will reduce the temperature, it will rise again after crossing the border, making it difficult for rivers to freeze for a short time, and freezing is even more impossible. Obviously, the plan of carp essence is difficult to work in real life.
