Hangzhou Yuhang Tanghe Information

Shangtang River flows into Qiantang River from Genshanmen in Hangzhou to Yan Guan Town in Haining City, with a total length of 48 kilometers. From Ding Qiao Town in Jianggan District, it flows into Xingqiao in our district, and enters Haining City via Linping Town. In our area, the flow is11.4km. The main tributaries are Harmony Port, Qiaosi Port and Zheshan Port, which are formed by the intersection of Fangjia Port and Yangtouba Port. Hemu Port is connected with Qiantang River through Qibao Ship Lock, and Qiaosi Port is connected with many rivers and canals in Xiasha area through Waiqiaosi Ship Lock. On the north bank of Shangtang River, there are tributaries of small ports such as Baiyangjian, Longxingmen, Hejiayan and Shijiayan, and there is a Sara lock, which communicates with the Grand Canal via Hefeng Port. Luo Zhi Hegang weir gate has become an irrigation system and transportation network within 125 square kilometers.

Shangtang River was originally a Guling waterway excavated by Qin Shihuang, and then it was the drainage channel of West Lake. The West Lake and Hecheng River flow through Shangtang River to irrigate farmland along the river. However, due to the high terrain of coastal alluvial plain, sandy loam is easy to scour and deposit, and the rainwater collection area is small, which is easy to dry up and cut off. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there have been many dredging operations. After the founding of New China, the people's government vigorously dredged the river, renovated the sluice weir, and focused on the construction of electromechanical irrigation and water supply projects. Shangtang River can meet the irrigation needs of 78,000 mu of farmland (land) in Linping, Qiaosi and Xingqiao towns in our district, and nourish the population of 6,543.8+0.25 square kilometers.

Qiantang River used to be a large salt field, and it was precisely because of the scouring of Shangtang River that a large area of saline-alkali land was transformed into fertile land. Su Shi, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once spent the night at the Du Kai River Land Temple in Jos, and wrote the poem "tangcun (now Jos) drives the salt river to supervise the service in the rain". He wrote: "Qiu Xiao encourages, pointing to Luogoukeng. Rain helps politics, and clothes are soaked. People, like ducks and pigs, throw mud and splash water ....., and they don't have enough lines, so they have to bring horses and cattle. ...... "It's hard to talk about water. Finally, he said," Send a message to an old mountain friend, and be careful not to press quinoa soup. " The gurgling flowing water has made the Shangtang River basin rich and prosperous, becoming one of the most economically developed areas in history.

Shangtang River has always been the main road of north-south traffic. Before Zhang Shicheng opened a new river in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, Shangtang River was the only channel for the Grand Canal to enter Hangzhou. Ships from south to north, such as crucian carp, cross the river, and Linping naturally becomes a bustling town and commercial port in the north of Hangzhou. Especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou became the political, economic and cultural center of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Shangtang River was naturally the link between the north and the south. Queen Wei, the biological mother who was detained by the Jin State during the Jingkang Revolution, returned to the south from the Grand Canal to the Shangtang River and settled in the temple on the Shangtang River in Linping Town. Song envoys went north, and Jin envoys went down the south of Shangtang River.

Shangtang River runs through rural buildings, towns and villages, like a winding jade belt. Elegant and natural, the clear river flows slowly, reflecting rows of green trees, grass and bright flowers on the banks of the river in the water, occasionally crossing a wooden boat, and the water waves have a slight garden pattern, flashing a little light in the sun. Zhang You, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Crossing the Pinghu Lake": "In March, the grass in Pinghu Lake wants to be neat, and the leaves of Populus davidiana enter the long embankment. Tian Jia got up and called, and Xie Bao woke up and cried. Just as the sill is connected with Zhu Ye, a new rice seedbed is built in the water. With such a pure and elegant natural scenery, it is no wonder that the poet mistakenly thought that he had entered a fairyland.

Banjingting site. Banjing Pavilion, the state guesthouse where the envoys of Jin State were received in the Southern Song Dynasty.

On the ruins of Anyin Temple, there is an Anping Spring with Su Shi's poem "Lu Yu was empty at that time, Anping Spring". After the drought, the spring water is clear and sweet.

Guifang Bridge, built in the Southern Song Dynasty for the Xu Shi brothers of Li nationality to try to enter Jinshi, still stands on the Shangtang River after reconstruction.

Although longxing temple, where Empress Wei was stationed (after Empress Dowager Cixi left, "Miao Hua Temple" was renamed as "longxing temple") was converted into a school, the Longxing ancient bridge on the river at the entrance still guarded the world in her later years;

Linping Mountain Pagoda, the one on the top of Linping Mountain, Su Shi sighed: "Who is as graceful as Linping Mountain Pagoda?" Although the pagoda for welcoming guests to the west is gone, the "First Pavilion from the East" built last year will stand on the top of Linping Mountain in a more upright and beautiful posture to welcome people who are sent to Shanghai and Hangzhou.
