South of Xiajiang River

The Yangtze River has made Jiangnan. Jiangnan literally means south of the Yangtze River, but as a typical historical and geographical concept, Jiangnan originally refers to the area south of the Yangtze River. In ancient times, Jiangnan often represented prosperous culture and education and beautiful and rich water towns. The region is roughly divided into the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River represents the infinite yearning and hope of the people of China for a better life. However, scholars at home and abroad have not unified the definition and application of the word Jiangnan. Jiangnan in a broad sense refers to the vast area east of Yichang, south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and north of Nanling. Including Jiangnan in a narrow sense, northwest Jiangxi, south of the Yangtze River in Hubei, northern Hunan, and some areas in Fujian are sometimes called Jiangnan. Jiangnan in a broad sense was widely used in ancient times, for example, Du Fu wrote "Meet Li Guinian and Go Down the River" in Changsha. Jiangnan in a broad sense is also used in modern times. For example, Jiangnan in weather forecast refers to Jiangnan in a broad sense; Jiangnan mentioned in the three famous buildings (Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Yueyang Tower in Yueyang and Wang Teng Pavilion in Nanchang) is Jiangnan in a broad sense. In a narrow sense, Jiangnan refers to the eastern region beautified by literati, that is, it does not include Fujian Province and Nanjing in southern Zhejiang to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but includes parts of Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province and Zhejiang Province south of the Yangtze River, that is, southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui and northeastern Jiangxi. Some areas north of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, such as Yangzhou, are located in the north of the Yangtze River, but their economy and culture are similar to those of Jiangnan, and they can also be regarded as part of Jiangnan in the cultural sense. Some areas south of Taihu Lake and east of Qiantang River, such as Shaoxing and Ningbo, are not counted as Jiangnan area. Jiangnan in the cultural sense refers to "Jiangnan" in the cultural sense, that is, Jiangnan in a narrow sense, which is equivalent to Jiangdong area, including southern Jiangsu (and Yangzhou), Shanghai, northern Zhejiang, southern Anhui and northeastern Jiangxi. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the gentry of the Central Plains went south, and the Han regime made Jinling its capital. Jiangnan replaced the Central Plains as the most developed economic and cultural core in China. Jiangnan is famous for its prosperous culture and education. Confucius Temple, located in Qinhuai River, is a temple in memory of Confucius. Jiangnan Palace Garden in the Confucius Temple complex is the examination room of ancient imperial examinations and a symbol of Jiangnan imperial examination culture. There are many famous academies in Jiangnan. Important are Bailudong Academy, Xiangshan Academy, Lize Academy, Donglin Academy, Ming Dow Academy and Maoshan Academy. From ancient times to the present, a large number of literary works praising Jiangnan have constructed the "Jiangnan" imagined by China people. Famous ones are Bai Juyi's Good Jiangnan and Su Dongpo's Looking at Jiangnan. In regional culture, Jiangnan culture and Wu culture are closely linked. Wu dialect is sometimes called Jiangnan dialect, and Mandarin, which is a mixture of Wu dialect and Yayan, is sometimes called Jiangnan Mandarin. Jiangnan Garden, a famous garden, is a natural landscape garden built by a pool, which flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Suzhou, Yangzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Huzhou, Shanghai, Jiaxing and Hangzhou are the main places, among which Suzhou and Yangzhou are the most representative, and Suzhou is the place with the most private gardens. Jiangnan gardens are usually private gardens, and Xuanwu Lake is the only remaining royal garden in Jiangnan.

Central Taihu Lake

Taihu Lake is located at the junction of Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province, in the south of the Yangtze River Delta. It is the largest lake in the eastern coastal area of China and the second largest freshwater lake in China (Dongting Lake has retreated to the third largest lake with the shrinking of the lake for many years). Taihu Lake is located in Huzhou City, southern Jiangsu Province, northern Zhejiang Province and southern Taihu Lake.

It is the only city named after Taihu Lake. In ancient times, it was called Zhenze, Juqu, Lize and Five Lakes. Taihu Lake area is the core area of Jiangnan. Historically, the waters of Taihu Lake were basically under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, and now two-thirds of the waters are within the administrative division of Suzhou. In the past, it was thought that Taihu Lake was formed by the sedimentation of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the ancient bays of Qiantang River. There is a saying that the lake swing area formed by meteorite impact nearly ten thousand years ago produced many lakes, such as Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake, Dianshan Lake, Jinji Lake, Dushu Lake and Fen Lake. The violent impact of celestial bodies caused strong earthquakes and other damages, so the ancients called Taihu Lake a shock. When the normal water level is 3 meters, the lake area is 2250 square kilometers, the average water depth is 1.94 meters and the storage capacity is 2.72 billion cubic meters. There are two main sources of water: one is Tiaoxi from Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province, which is injected into more than 70 ports below Huzhou City; The other is Jingxi from the northern foot of Yili Mountain in Jiangsu Province, which is divided into more than 60 ports such as Taipu and Baidu. Taihu Lake system flows into the Yangtze River from more than 70 river ports on both sides of the northeast, with Loujiang River (downstream called Liuhe), Wusong River (downstream called Suzhou River) and Huangpu River as the main rivers ("Three Rivers"). Huangpu River is the largest drainage channel. This data comes from Baidu map, and the final result is subject to Baidu map data. Accounting for 80% of the total water output. Other rivers and ports have small flows, and every time they flow backwards because of high tide or rising river water. There are more than 80 large and small lakes/kloc-0 in the whole Taihu Lake system, and the large and small rivers entering and leaving the lakes form a water system as dense as a spider web. It is very beneficial to shipping, irrigation and regulating the water level of rivers and lakes. Jiangnan Canal is an integral part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It leads the Yangtze River south from Jianbikou, Zhenjiang, passes through many rivers and lakes in Taihu Lake system, devours rivers and lakes, and regulates water quantity, thus becoming an important mainstream of this water network. There are more than 40 islands in the lake, the largest of which is Dongting Mountain in the west. On the east and north shore, there are Dongting Dongshan, Lingyan Mountain, Huishan Mountain, Maji Mountain and other low hills, which are connected by mountains and rivers and have beautiful scenery. They are famous tourist areas. The hills along the lake and Nakajimayama Lake are rich in tea, silkworms and subtropical fruits, such as bayberry, loquat, chestnut and citrus. Most of the old river networks in Taihu Plain are shallow, narrow and tortuous, and the irrigation and drainage system is disordered, so the flood disaster is still a potential threat. Unified planning is implemented, blind reclamation is prohibited, river courses are regulated, flood discharge capacity is increased, and irrigation and water diversion benefits are improved. Taihu Lake is a famous food produced in Wu Jun County of Taihu Lake. It is named after the three flavors of Taihu Lake: whitebait, white fish and white shrimp. This is a vivid statement with a long history. Taihu Pearl, also known as Taihu Pearl, is one of the nine pearl varieties classified by origin.

Hangzhou bay north

Hangzhou Bay is located in the northeast of Zhejiang Province, China, starting from Zhapu-Xisanzha section in the west, and reaching the Yangtze River Corner and Zhenhaijiao in the east. There is Qiantang River, which is a trumpet-shaped bay. The mouth of the bay is about 95 kilometers wide and gradually narrows from the outside to the inside, reaching 20 kilometers to Ganpu. Haining area is only 3 kilometers wide. From Zhapu to Cang Qian, from Qibao to Wenjiayan, a huge sandbar (continent) is formed underwater, with a length of 130 km, a width of about 27 km and a thickness of about 20 meters. There is a huge scouring trough on the seabed between jinshanwei and Zhapu in the north, with the deepest depth of about 40 meters.

Sanshui Jiangnan

Water is the soul of Jiangnan. To the south of Xiajiang River (including the area near its north bank), the area around Taihu Lake is the center, and to the north of Hangzhou Bay (including the area near its south bank) constitutes the main area of Jiangnan in a narrow sense. Xiajiang River, Taihu Lake and Hangzhou Bay are the three major waters in the narrow sense of Jiangnan, and the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake, Hangzhou Bay (Qiantang River), its tributaries and other lakes constitute the narrow sense of water network in Jiangnan. It is also found in other coastal areas such as the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, which is not its main feature.
