The story of the Qiantang River in 1958, the legend or story of the tide of the Qiantang River

Qiantang River was originally called Zhejiang Huzi River, also known as the River, the source of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces at the junction of Huaiyu Mountain, a total length of 605 kilometers, is a river with a long flow in Zhejiang Province and a large river basin. The tide of the Qiantang River, the scattered Qiantang River Bridge, and the night view on both sides of the river are the landscapes worth seeing on the Qiantang River.

The Qiantang River is the place where Wu and Yue are divided, of which Hangzhou is located on the north and south banks of the Qiantang River, which can be called "Wu and Yue carry it together". There is relevant evidence that Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, located on the south bank of the Qiantang River, is one of the birthplaces of Wuyue culture. Wuyue culture is the foundation and matrix of Qiantang River culture.

The characteristics of Wuyue culture of "inclusiveness, inclusiveness, intelligence, agility, wisdom, application to the world, pragmatism and truth-seeking, daring to be the first, and surpassing oneself" have laid a profound imprint on the development of Qiantang River culture. Qiantang River culture has inherited the temperament of Wuyue culture.

Qiantang River, known as Zhejiang in ancient times, the full name is "Zhejiang", also known as "Zhejiang", "Zhijiang", "Rakshasa River", generally the Fuyang section of Zhejiang is called Fuchun River, and the Hangzhou section of the lower reaches of Zhejiang is called Qiantang River.

The Qiantang River estuary is in the shape of a huge trumpet, the north and south banks of the Hangzhou Bay Estuary are about 100 kilometers apart, and the Qiantang River estuary is narrowed to 20 kilometers, and then up to Haining Yanguan, which is only one kilometer. This section of the river is affected by the narrowness of the river surface and the uplift of the riverbed, and the tidal waves are broken and turbulent, forming the wonder of the world "Qiantang River Tide". In the lower reaches of the Qiantang River, near the Liuhe Pagoda in the West Lake District of Hangzhou City, there is the famous Qiantang River Bridge.

Was there a tide before killing King Wu?

Cultural origins.

The Qiantang River is the place where Wu and Yue are divided, of which Hangzhou is located on the north and south banks of the Qiantang River, which can be called "Wu and Yue carry it together". There is relevant evidence that Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, located on the south bank of the Qiantang River, is one of the birthplaces of Wuyue culture. Wuyue culture is the foundation and matrix of Qiantang River culture.

The characteristics of Wuyue culture of "inclusiveness, inclusiveness, intelligence, agility, wisdom, application to the world, pragmatism and truth-seeking, daring to be the first, and surpassing oneself" have laid a profound imprint on the development of Qiantang River culture. Qiantang River culture has inherited the temperament of Wuyue culture.

In the vast area of the Qiantang River Basin, there are also many regional cultures such as Liangzhu culture, Southern Song Dynasty culture, and West Lake culture. They are in a variety of forms, with obvious landscape and regional colors, and are full of cultural characteristics. As a representative of jade culture, Liangzhu culture has a long history, and its characteristics of "peacefulness and totem" add a thick and simple tone to it.

The characteristics of "secularization and marketization" in the culture of the Southern Song Dynasty, combined with the river crossing, have the charm of Qibao Teahouse and Jianqiao Old Street; The "delicate and harmonious" characteristics of the West Lake culture have also been integrated into the Qiantang River culture, giving birth to masterpieces such as "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map"; The babbling of the canal resonates with the mountain song of the rowing people.

All these have played a useful role in supplementing and learning from the Qiantang River culture. The Qiantang River culture inherits the characteristics of Liangzhu culture and Southern Song Dynasty culture, and has its own innovation and development in the integration with West Lake culture and canal culture, and at the same time has more "atmospheric and open" characteristics.

The Qiantang River basin is home to a large number of celebrities and has a profound cultural heritage. In the Qiantang River Basin, scientists Wang Chong, writers Wang Guowei, historical figures Sun Quan and Chen Shuozhen, contemporary painter Ye Qianyu, writer Yu Dafu, and revolutionary writer Xia Yan have emerged. Painter Huang Gongwang's Fuchun Mountain Residence shows the charm of the Qiantang River.

Countless celebrities have traveled to the mountains and rivers of Qiantang River in the past dynasties, leaving behind well-known poems.

The term "Chaoer" was originally a nickname for those who "floated at the head of the tide and teased" when the Qiantang River was at high tide in the Song Dynasty. The tide refers to the sailors who circulate with the tide day and night or the young people who play in the tide. The Qianjiang tide is famous all over the world, and the spirit of fighting bravely and enterprisingly has gradually evolved into the spirit of "making the tide".

It is this spirit that constitutes the essence and soul of Qiantang River culture.

The Qiantang River is the largest river in Zhejiang Province, China, originating in Huangshan Mountain, Anhui Province, flowing through Anhui, Zhejiang Province, the ancient name "Zhejiang", also known as "Zhejiang" or "Zhijiang", the first to be named in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", is one of the main birthplaces of Yue culture. The total length of the river is 688 kilometers, the basin area is 10,000 square kilometers, the average annual flow is 100 million cubic meters, and the theoretical reserves of tidal hydropower resources in the estuary are 4.72 million kilowatts. The Xin'an River and the Lanjiang River are the headwaters of the Qiantang River, which empties into the East China Sea between Nanhui District of Shanghai and Shengsi County of Ningbo City and Zhoushan City.

The tide of the Qiantang River is known as "the first tide in the world".

Qiantang River, English as ch'ien-t'Ang Chiang or Qiantang River, from the source, the full name of Zhejiang, also known as the Rakshasa River and the River, is a famous river in the southeast of the motherland, one of the main rivers in the southeast coastal region of China, the largest river in Zhejiang Province, and a famous tourist attraction in Hangzhou.

Qiantang River (CH'ien-t'angriver)

Meaning: Today's people mistakenly think that the Qiantang River is Zhejiang, but in fact, the Hangzhou section of the lower reaches of Zhejiang is called the Qiantang River). The Qiantang River has a total length of 605 kilometers and a basin area of 48,887 square kilometers.

The upstream Changshan Port originates from Lianhuajian, Qixi Town, Kaihua County, Zhejiang Province, flows northeast through the northern part of Zhejiang Province to Luopu, and flows into the East China Sea through Hangzhou Bay. It has a total length of 688 kilometers and a basin area of 10,000 square kilometers. The main tributaries are Jinhua River (Wugang), Xin'an River, Tongxi, Puyang River, etc.

The sections of the main stream are given different names everywhere. The main stream from Qujiang District is called Changshan Port above, Qujiang District to Lanxi is called Qujiang (Xin'an River), Lanxi to Meicheng in Jiande County is called Lanjiang, Meicheng to Tonglu is called Tongjiang, Tonglu to Xiaoshan District Wenjiayan is called Fuchun River, Wenjiayan is called Qiantang River below. The Cao'e River was also a tributary of the Qiantang River in the old days, but the back coast collapsed, the estuary subsided, and it flowed into the sea alone from the Qiantang River.

The plane of the Qiantang River estuary is trumpet-shaped, there is a sand kan uplift at the bottom of the river near Haining City, the tide is inverted, the tide head is steeply erected under the influence of terrain contraction, forming a majestic and magnificent "Qiantang tide", attracting a large number of tourists. The maximum tidal range is up to meters. The average annual runoff of the Qiantang River is 40.4 billion m3, and the sediment content is very small, with an average of 5 per square meter.

Large reservoirs and hydropower stations have been built on the Xin'an and Fuchun rivers. Between Hangzhou and Tonglu, 150-ton ships can be navigated.

In the lower reaches of the Qiantang River, near the Liuhe Pagoda in the West Lake District of Hangzhou, there is the famous Qiantang River Bridge. It is the first double-decker railway and highway dual-purpose bridge designed and built by China itself, which traverses the north and south of the Qiantang River, and is the traffic artery connecting Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo and Zhejiang-Jiangxi railways. The bridge is a double-layer steel structure truss bridge with a total length of 1,453 meters, a width of 71 meters on the Qiantang River, and a height of 71 meters. The design and construction was presided over by Mao Yisheng, a famous bridge expert in China, and the construction started in April 1935 and was completed and opened to traffic on September 26, 1937, with a total investment of 1.6 million US dollars (** that year). The Qiantang River Bridge is not only a great achievement in the history of bridges in China, but also a glorious milestone in the history of China's railway bridges.

Together with the Liuhe Tower, it forms one of the landmark attractions in Hangzhou.

The Qiantang River is the largest river in Zhejiang Province, China, with the ancient name "Zhejiang", also known as "Zhijiang".

Originally, when the tide of the Qiantang River came, like the tide of other places, there was neither a tide nor a sound.

One year, a giant came to the Qiantang River, this one was really tall, and he stepped from one side of the river to the other side of the river. He lived on Shu Mountain in Xiaoshan County and set fire to salt burning. People don't know what his name is, because he lives by the Qiantang River, so they call him King Qian.

King Qian had great strength, and he often picked up some big stones to put on the riverside, and after a while, he piled up mountains one by one.

One day, he went to pick the salt that he had burned on Shu Mountain for three years and three months. However, this salt was only enough for him to fit one end, so he tied a large stone to the other end of the flat pole, put it on his shoulders and tried it, and then picked it up and crossed to the north bank of the river.

At this time, the weather was hot, and King Qian was a little tired because he had just eaten lunch, so he put down his burden to rest, but he didn't expect to doze off. Coincidentally, the Dragon King of the East China Sea came out to patrol the river at this time, and the tide rose. It rose and rose, but it rose to the shore, and the salt of King Qian slowly melted.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea smelled it, where did this salty smell come from in the water, and it became more and more salty, and it became more and more salty. He couldn't stand it, so he turned around and fled, not wanting to escape into the ocean, and salting the water of the ocean. As for the king of money, he slept and opened his eyes, and saw that the stone at one end of the flat pole was still in Kip Stone (which is now known as Kip Stone Mountain), but the salt at the other end was gone!

King Qian searched and searched, but he couldn't find salt, and when he lowered his head, he smelled salty in the river, and he thought: Oh, no wonder the salt is gone, it was stolen by the Dragon King of the East China Sea. So he lifted up his pole and hit the sea.

A flat pole hit the big and small fish to death; The two flat shoulders beat the bottom of the river and turned over; The three flat dan beat the Dragon King of the East China Sea to the surface and beg for mercy.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea trembled and asked King Qian why he had such a big temper. King Qian said, "Where did you steal my salt?"

Only then did the Dragon King of the East China Sea understand the reason why the sea water became salty. hurriedly made amends, and told him how he patrolled the river and how he inadvertently melted King Qian's salt, making the water of the ocean salty one by one.

King Qian was so angry in his heart, he really wanted to lift the iron flat pole and smash the Dragon King of the East China Sea before he was willing. The Dragon King of the East China Sea was so panicked that he repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and promised to use the salt of the sea to compensate King Qian; Later, when the tide rises, he will cry out, lest the king of money fall asleep again and not hear. When King Qian heard that these two conditions were not bad, he spared the Dragon King of the East China Sea, put his flat burden at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, and said:

In the future, the tide will start from here! The Dragon King of the East China Sea agreed again and again, and King Qian left happily.

From that time on, as soon as the tide entered Hangzhou Bay, he stretched out his neck, shouted "whoa", and rose to the place where King Qian had sit, stretching his neck high and screaming loudly. This place is what is now Haining. This is how the world-famous "Qianjiang tide" came about.
