What was the ancient water control project like?

In our country, generations of emperors have attached great importance to the construction of water conservancy projects. For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has also had many world-famous water conservancy projects, such as the Ling Canal, the Sichuan Dujiangyan Project, the Sui Dynasty Grand Canal, etc., which embody the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, improve people's ability to resist natural disasters, and also play a protective role in agricultural production.

1. The significance of the ancient water control project In the feudal society of ancient China, the most important sector was agriculture. Agriculture is very affected by natural factors, and in ancient times, when science and technology were not developed, people's ability to resist natural disasters was very low. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the construction of agricultural infrastructure and built new water conservancy projects at all costs.

The construction of water control projects can not only increase agricultural production capacity, but also expand transportation, develop commerce, and promote the improvement of the productive forces of the whole society. Whether in an era of prosperity and stability, or in a turbulent era, many emperors have spent a lot of money at any cost to build water conservancy undertakings.

2. Ancient Chinese water conservancy engineering technologyDue to the importance attached to water conservancy projects by the emperors of previous dynasties, the water conservancy industry in ancient China has been moving forward. During the Xia Dynasty, the Chinese people mastered the primitive water conservancy and irrigation technology. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, a primary water conservancy system of storage, diversion, irrigation and drainage had been formed.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, water conservancy projects such as Dujiangyan and Zhengguo Canal promoted the development of agriculture in the Central Plains. During the Han Dynasty, many ditches were built in the north, and large irrigation projects had crossed the Yangtze River and reached the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain. By the Tang Dynasty, water conservancy projects had spread all over the country, and in the Song Dynasty, the imperial court overhauled water conservancy to improve the ability to resist natural disasters.

3. Typical water control projects in ancient times have been developed for thousands of years, and China has had many typical water control projects in all dynasties. For example, the Ling Canal, which Qin Shi Huang ordered to be built, is one of the oldest canals in the world, and it is the pearl of ancient water conservancy architecture in the world, which has been more than 2,000 years ago and still plays a role. In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the construction of the Grand Canal centered on Luoyang, which was not only conducive to irrigation of farmland, but also promoted the development of transportation.

Dear readers and friends, what ancient Chinese water control projects have you all heard of? Let's talk about it.

The ancient water control project was. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to dig channels to do this. Because in ancient times, floods often produced many disasters, so rulers would do this in advance.

For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has also had many world-famous water conservancy projects, such as the Ling Canal, the Sichuan Dujiangyan Project, the Sui Dynasty Grand Canal, etc., which embody the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, improve people's ability to resist natural disasters, and also play a protective role in agricultural production.

The main means of diversion is to divert water from one river to different rivers, so that the water level of the downstream water drops.

Drainage or shunting. In ancient times, the level of science and technology was not developed, and people could only divert floodwaters to other dry waters.

People can't do without water, but sometimes water can also flood, such as: tsunamis, floods... People have been trying to control the water since ancient times.

In ancient times, there was Dayu to control the water, Dayu took the method of digging the beam, and discharged the water to the distant place, until the sea. Dujiangyan is the world's first damless flood discharge project, which has cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. I've been to Dujiangyan, and the people of ** use river water to cook and do laundry... But life is not so peaceful, sometimes the river dries up, sometimes it goes berserk.

It was a drought in the north and there was no harvest. Floods are common in the south, and diseases are rampant, and the people are suffering for days. Looking at the slowly flowing river often makes people forget about it'Dangerous.

When there is less water, people will die of thirst, and if there is more, they will wash people away. Dujiangyan solves the situation of water shortage in the north and water in the south with its ingenious structure, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, and there are many celebrities who have visited Dujiangyan from ancient times to write a lot of poems.

Looking at Dujiangyan and listening to the sound of the water, it reminds me that "the head of the ridge is the place where it separates, and it is a pity not to hear the sound of the night."

In ancient times, water control was to avoid the harm of drought and floods, and with the development of modern science and technology, water is not only used for laundry, cooking, irrigation, but also for using water to generate electricity and as a cutting tool.

Modern water control is still some old routines with blockages and blockages, but the flood gate has been built near the dam, and we know when to release water and how much to release. The dam can also generate electricity at the rate of water, which is an absolutely environmentally friendly option. We also have a lot of disadvantages under the protection of dams, dams have caused ecological imbalance in river basins while releasing water, and some dams are being damaged by termites.

From ancient times to the present, human beings have never stopped controlling water, hoping to make water a friend of mankind. While controlling the water, it is also necessary to protect the ecological balance.

Dujiangyan Scenic Area has been selected as the first place in the list of summer resorts in the southwest, with beautiful scenery, excellent air, long history and many cultural relics and historic sites. It is also known as Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Scenic Area, located in Dujiangyan City Park Road, Chengdu City, built more than 2000 years ago, is the ancient water conservancy project that is relatively intact at present, the scene is grand, magnificent.

Throughout the scenic area, the water conservancy project is large-scale, separating the surging Minjiang River into two parts: the inner river and the outer river. The role of the Neijiang River is mainly to divert water for irrigation and reduce the drought caused by natural disasters, while the Waijiang River, as the name suggests, is mainly for flood discharge, so it has been responsible for flood control and irrigation since ancient times, and also enables the surrounding residents to live and work in peace and contentment. With the water conservancy project as the main axis, the surrounding scenery is beautiful, the vegetation is luxuriant, the air is excellent, especially the cultural relics and historic sites are numerous, such as the most famous Fulong Temple, Erwang Temple, Yuleishan Park, Li Bingshi Carving, Anlan Rope Bridge, etc., all have a very strong historical atmosphere, and the appreciation value is quite high.

Personally, Dujiangyan is an important and majestic water conservancy project in ancient China, although it has gone through more than 2,000 years of wind and rain, but for now, it still plays an increasingly huge role. Especially in the face of the huge earthquake, the Dujiangyan water conservancy project has experienced the test of history, the original project is basically intact, reflecting the wisdom of ancient human beings in our country, but also showing their super high artistic sentiment and exquisite skills, people have to be admired.

The green mountains and green waters here, the climate is suitable, especially in spring and summer, it is more comfortable to play, even in the hottest time of July and August in summer, Dujiangyan Scenic Area will not seem so hot, it is your most ideal summer resort, especially suitable for the whole family or group to play. Moreover, the landscape here is unique, the geographical position is superior, only more than 40 kilometers away from Chengdu downtown, and the traffic is very convenient. The main attractions here are the fish mouth dividing embankment, flying sand weir, treasure bottle mouth and so on.

In particular, Baohuakou, which is one of the three major components of the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, is the throat of the Neijiang River to control the inflow of water, and is very worth visiting. The flying sand weir and the fish mouth dike have their own characteristics, reflect each other, are ingenious, and the scenery is pleasant. Personally, I feel that here is the crystallization of the knowledge of the great working people, and it is highly representative in the local and even the whole country, it scientifically solves the problems of automatic diversion of river water, automatic sand discharge and control of water flow, and still benefits mankind until now, and it is a scene that has to go to Dujiangyan City to pay homage, and must not be missed.

At present, the relatively complete ancient water conservancy project is in Dujiangyan, and the Dujiangyan water conservancy project was built by Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County of Qin State, and it has been more than 2,000 years so far.

Lingqu is located in Xing'an County, northeast of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is the world's most complete ancient water conservancy project, and Sichuan Dujiangyan, Shaanxi Zhengguo Canal is equally famous, and is called "the three major water conservancy projects of the Qin Dynasty".

In ancient times, the air conservancy project was constructed.

According to the records of "Yaodian", Emperor Shun Feng Yu was the position of the commonplace, and let him control the water, which was the precedent of the official position system of boiling water. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the post of Sikong was set up, which was equivalent to Liuqing, and Sima, Sikou, Sishi, and Situ were called the five senses, and they were in charge of water conservancy and construction. The clerk is mainly in charge of justice and picketing.

Characteristics of water conservancy projects:

1. It is very systematic and comprehensive. A single water conservancy project is an organic part of various water conservancy projects in the same river basin and the same area, and these projects complement each other and restrict each other. Individual water conservancy projects are often comprehensive in their own right, and the service objectives are closely related to each other, but also contradictory. Hydraulic engineering and other sectors of the national economy are also closely linked.

The design and planning of water conservancy projects must proceed from the overall situation, systematically and comprehensively analyze and study, in order to obtain the most economical and reasonable optimization plan.

2. It has a great impact on the environment. Water conservancy projects not only have an impact on the economy and society of the region where they are located through their construction tasks, but also have varying degrees of impact on the natural appearance, ecological environment, natural landscape, and even regional climate of rivers, lakes and nearby areas.

3. Complex working conditions. All kinds of hydraulic structures in water conservancy projects are constructed and operated under natural conditions such as meteorology, hydrology, geology, etc., which are difficult to accurately grasp, and they bear the role of thrust, buoyancy, seepage and erosion force of water, and the working conditions are more complex than other buildings. <>

Ancient water conservancy engineering masters are called Lingqu and Dujiangyan.

1. Lingqu. Located in Xing'an County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Lingqu is one of the oldest canals in the world and has the reputation of "the pearl of ancient water conservancy architecture in the world". Lingqu was called Qin chiseled canal, zero canal, steep river, Xing'an canal in ancient times, and was dug into navigation in 214 BC, 2217 years ago, and still plays a role.

2. Dujiangyan.

The Dujiangyan water conservancy project of Dujiangyan irrigation in the Chengdu Plain, which has gone through more than 2,200 years before and after, is a rare treasure of China's ancient water conservancy projects, with three benefits: flood control, irrigation and shipping. The people of Sichuan have been operating Dujiangyan for generations, and they have been inexhaustible, so that Dujiangyan has become more and more vigorous over time, vigorous, and moistened Tianfu. Dujiangyan is not only a great achievement in the history of water conservancy in China, but also a model in the history of water conservancy in the world that uses nature without destroying nature.

The significance of ancient hydraulic engineering

In the process of human civilization, the development of technology and science has played the most important role in the creation of human civilization, 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.
