What are the ancestors of water control in Chinese history?

1. Yu (c. 21st century BC), the leader of the ancient tribal alliance in Chinese legend, was the earliest leader in China to control the Great Flood. He changed the method of simply blocking the previous method to the method of grooming, and achieved success. He has been controlling the water for 13 years, and the spirit of passing through the door three times without entering the house has been praised by people to this day.

His ideas on water control are still worth learning from today.

2, Sun Shuao.

770 BC, 476 BC) of the state of Chu.

A native of Qisi (now Huaibin Period, Henan), he was a politician, military strategist and water conservancy at that time. In 605 B.C., he presided over the construction of China's earliest large-scale water diversion irrigation project - Qisi Lou Irrigation Area. Because the total length of the two diversion rivers in the irrigation area is more than 100 li, 598 B.C. 591 led the construction of the Huaihe River Basin famous Gupitang irrigation project, called Anfengtang, its circumference is 120 li, irrigation fields are 10,000 hectares, so far more than 2,500 years have been playing an irrigation benefit.

3. Simon Leopard.

A native of Hebei, the Wei State during the Warring States Period.

He is a famous politician and water conservancy in the history of our country. Wei Wenhou served as Ye Ling, presided over the construction of the 12 canals irrigation project to lead to Zhanghe, built a damless water intake hub and 12 low overflow weirs on the Zhanghe River, and led to 12 irrigation canals, which not only reduced the disaster of river flooding, but also fertilized the soil. The 12 canals have been continuously renovated by people, and the irrigation benefits have been extended to the Tang Dynasty to the German period (756 758), which has been more than 1,000 years.

After the death of Ximen Leopard, the people of Yedi built the Ximen Leopard Doctor Temple in the place where he controlled the water, and the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties also erected a monument for him. Until now, there is still a channel called Siemens Canal in Linzhang area of Hebei Province.

4, Li Bing, King Qin Zhao.

After the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty (256 BC to 251 BC), Ren Shu Shou led the construction of a number of water conservancy projects, the most important of which was Dujiangyan.

Engineering. The Dujiangyan project still plays a huge role in irrigation benefits. In order to commemorate Li Bing, Li Bing Temple was built as early as the Tang Dynasty.

5. Wang Jing (c. 20 90 AD) Langya.

No, it (now Jimo County, Shandong.

Southwest) people, Eastern Han Dynasty water conservancy. Since childhood, he has been knowledgeable and has mastered a variety of skills, especially enthusiastic about the construction of water conservancy projects. In the twelfth year of Yongping (69 years), he presided over the governance of the Yellow River and the Bianhe River with the participation of hundreds of thousands of people.

The unruly Yellow River has been flowing for 800 years, and later generations have given high praise to Wang Jing's "river and bian diversion", which fixed the river course. History is full of praise for Wang Jing: "Wang Jing ruled the river for a thousand years."

The 5,000-year history of China's civilization is a history of struggle and transformation between mankind and nature and society. At the same time, in the process of water control, a wealth of philosophical ideas on water control have been formed, which are both theoretically and practically beneficial to mankind in the 21st century.

In Chinese history, the ancestors of water control include Dayu and Li Bing, who established Dujiangyan.

There is the legendary Dayu to control the water, Li Bing and his son built the weir and so on

1, Li Bing. <>

Li Bing, who built the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, is also an outstanding expert in water conservancy engineering. During Li Bing's tenure as the Taishou of Shu County, he inherited Dayu's experience in water control, and built Dujiangyan with the scientific method of damless water diversion and artesian irrigation project, creating the world's largest water conservancy project, so that the Chengdu Plain has since "water and drought from people, do not know hunger". Dujiangyan is still a contemporary world cultural heritage, and the irrigation area has expanded from more than 300 million mu in ancient times to tens of millions of mu today.

2, Su Shi. <>

Su Shi also has a set of methods for water control. He built the wooden bank project of the Yellow River in Xuzhou, and led the military and civilians to dredge the West Lake in Hangzhou, leaving the famous "Su Causeway". Zhang Zhilie, honorary president of the China Society of Su Shi Studies, introduced that Su Shi presided over or participated in numerous water conservancy projects in different positions, and also wrote water conservancy works such as "Xining River Defense Record", "The Law of Yu to Pass Water", "Qiantang Six Wells" and so on.

3, Dayu. <>

The scientific nature of Dayu's water control is to put forward the water control strategy of "changing the blockage to sparse and guiding according to the situation". The most important thing is that it took him more than 10 years before he finally succeeded in controlling the water, which embodies the spirit of the Chinese nation in defying hardships and dangers and working hard. Especially more than 4,000 years ago, Dayu was able to gather the strength of all people and successfully control the water, which is of great significance to the formation of civilization.

For thousands of years, Dayu's water control has been one of the important spiritual totems of the Chinese nation.

4, Sun Shuao.

More than 2,600 years ago, the Huai River floods were frequent, and Sun Shuao presided over the flood control and exhausted his family resources. After three years, the first water conservancy project in Chinese history was finally built, which was used to discharge floods through the ancient Huai River road, and built a pond to irrigate agriculture and mulberry to benefit the people of the Huai River.

5, Guo Shoujing.

In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (1264), Guo Shoujing was ordered to repair the ancient canals in the territory of Western Xia and erect sluice weirs to irrigate the local farmland. In the twenty-eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1291), Guo Shoujing served as the water supervisor of the capital, responsible for repairing the canal from the capital of the Yuan Dynasty to Tongzhou, which took one year to complete all the projects, named the Tonghui River, and developed the north-south transportation and water transportation undertakings.

Li He is not included. Yu Zhishui is known as the origin of Chinese civilization and laid the foundation for the creation of the Xia Dynasty.

According to legend, Yu's era occurred a nationwide flood. The monstrous flood made the people miserable, so Emperor Yao Shilling Kun (Yu's father) to control the flood, Kun adopted the method of "guarding against a hundred rivers and falling high (low)", which lasted nine years without success.

Yu Zi inherited his father's business, was ordered to continue to take on the important task of water control, he summed up and learned the lessons of water control, put forward the water control strategy of changing the blockage to sparse and taking advantage of the situation, which lasted 13 years before and after, and finally succeeded in water control.

His spirit of controlling water for 13 years and passing through the door three times without entering has been praised by people to this day, and his ideas on water control are still worth learning from.

Li He was not included among the famous people who controlled water in ancient China. In the process of human civilization, the development of technology and science has played the most important role, and it is natural that it is an important part of the history of human civilization. The construction of water conservancy projects by human beings is a great science, the ancient Chinese civilization is brilliant, and our country has a large population, so since ancient times, agriculture has been emphasized, and all "water conservancy irrigation, river prevention and dredging" have been listed as the primary work in all dynasties.

Agriculture is of decisive significance in the development of the national economy, and water conservancy is the lifeblood of agriculture. In the history of China's civilization for several thousand years, the industrious, courageous, and wise Chinese people have waged an arduous struggle against rivers, lakes, and seas, and have built countless large and small water conservancy projects, effectively promoting agricultural production. At the same time, hydrological knowledge has been developed accordingly.

Water conservancy projects built in successive dynasties.

1) Warring States: Dujiangyan and Zhengguoqu of Qin.

2) Qin: Qin Canal, Ling Canal and Jiangnan Canal were opened.

3) Two Han Dynasty: The characteristics of farmland and water conservancy areas are obvious.

The Yellow River Basin is mainly engaged in the construction of irrigation canal systems, and the famous projects include the Six Auxiliary Canals, the White Canal, and the Longshou Canal.

Between Jianghuai and Jianghan, it is mainly to repair the natural pi pond, and there are six famous projects.

In the southeast, the drainage embankment and the wet and silted land are mainly fertile fields, and the famous projects include Jianhu Lake.

The northwest mainly uses snow water or groundwater to build a special water conservancy project - karez.

There are 12 historical water control celebrities, Dayu, Sun Shuao, Ximen Leopard, Li Bing, Wang Jing, Ma Zhen, Jiang ShiduSu ShiGuo Shoujing, Pan Jitao,Lin Zexu, Li Yizhi. Legend has it that during the Yaoshun period more than 4,000 years ago, there were successive catastrophic floods in China, which brought major disasters to the Chinese tribe people living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The meeting of the leaders of the tribal alliance decided that the leader of the Xiahou tribe, who has a tradition of water control, will control the water. Kun used water to block the earth, but due to the large flood, the water control was not successful for many years, and was shunliu by Yao's successor.

Water control celebrities

There are many rivers in China, and since ancient times, there have been many floods in Chinese history. But the Chinese nation is strong.

With their own wisdom and sweat, they fought tenaciously against the flood.

Chinese history is not only a history of floods, but also a history of flood fighting. Since ancient mythology.

Since Dayu brought floods under control, the Chinese people have made tremendous efforts and sacrifices to fight floods.

During this period, many celebrities who led thousands of people to bravely fight floods emerged. In early December 2019, the Ministry of Water Resources announced the first batch of historical water control celebrities. After careful selection by experts, a total of 12 celebrities were selected for this list, Dayu, Sun Shuao, Ximen Leopard, and Li Bing.

Wang Jing, Ma Zhen, Jiang Shidu, Su Shi, Guo Shoujing, Pan Jitao, Lin Zexu, Li Yizhi.

Today, here are three heroes of water control who have been effective in history - Dayu, Li Bing and Wang Jing. It is their ability to control the water that has created the rich land of China.

1. Dayu controls the water.

Dayu controls the water. Dayu led the people to fight against the floods in the natural disaster and finally won the victory. In the face of the surging flood, Dayu learned a lesson from the failure of Kun to control the water and changed"Blocked"to channel the floods, showing that he has the ingenuity to lead the people to overcome difficulties; In order to control the flood, Dayu has been fighting with the people for many years, ignoring personal interests"Three times through the door without entering"。Dayu has been controlling water for 13 years, exhausted his hard work and physical strength, and finally completed the great cause of water control.

2. Li Bing controls the water.

Li Bing controls the water. Li Bing (year of birth and death, place of birth unknown), a famous water conservancy engineering expert during the Warring States period. From 256 BC to 251 BC, he was appointed by King Qin Zhao as the Taishou of Shu County (now Chengdu). During this period, he recruited migrant workers to build many water conservancy projects in the Minjiang River Basin, among which the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, which he and his son presided over the construction of, was the most famous.

3. Wang Jing controls the water.

Wang Jing controls the water. Since ancient times, the Yellow River has been constantly breaking and diverting its course on the land of the Central Plains, bringing countless disasters and sufferings to the people of the Central Plains. The Yellow River flooded more than once, the Han ** several times blocked the breach unsuccessfully, and the Yellow River also has a tributary, which branches out from the vicinity of Xingyang, called Bianqu. Before Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the people on both sides of the Yellow River had been affected by the flood for more than 60 years.

During the reign of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Ming Dynasty, there was a capable man named Wang Jing, who was quite successful in controlling the water.

Yu, Sun Shuao (in 605 B.C., presided over the construction of China's earliest large-scale water diversion irrigation project - Qisi Lou Irrigation District), Ximen Leopard (presided over the construction of the 12 canals irrigation project of Zhanghe, built a damless water intake hub and 12 low overflow weirs on the Zhanghe River, and led out 12 irrigation canals, which not only reduced the disaster of river flooding, but also fertilized the soil), Li Bing (Dujiangyan), Wang Jing (presided over the governance of the Yellow River and Bianhe River with the participation of hundreds of thousands of people).

Dayu's father, Dayu, Ximen Leopard during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty, once repaired the famous White Causeway, Su Shi of the Song Dynasty, once repaired the famous Su Causeway and so on.
