Li DaoyuanIt is believed that the Yangtze River originates from the Min River.

wrote: "If the water is out of Shu County, outside the Niu Niu, southeast to the old pass, it is also ...... for Ruoshui."Northeast to Yandao County (now Yibin), into the river", "Minshan in Shu County, Shidao County, out of the river, southeast through the north of the county".

It can be seen that the famous geographer Li Daoyuan also believes that the source of the Yangtze River.

It's Minjiang. and the poet Su Shi during the Song Dynasty.

He even wrote in the poem, "My family's river has just originated, and the eunuch swims directly into the sea." The Song Dynasty's "Yu Trace Map" marked the source of the Min River with the three words "Great River Source".

Impact:

The Commentary on the Water Classic has made important contributions to the development of Chinese geography and has an important position in the history of geography in China and the world. The description of the scenery of mountains and rivers in "Notes on the Book of Water" has also been highly praised by later generations as a literary work. There are also shortcomings in the book: he is a Northern Dynasty.

people, so the record of the southern water system is somewhat simple, and there are some errors in it.

Of course, such a magnificent masterpiece was limited by the times and conditions of the time, and it was inevitable that there would be many mistakes. Tang Dynasty Du You in the "General Dictionary".

China has clearly pointed out its "mistakes" on the issue of the source of the Yellow River. In addition, since it was not possible for him to conduct field investigations in remote areas and in the south, there were many mistakes in this regard. In some places, the citations are not credible, etc., but these do not detract from the value of the whole book.

During the Warring States Period, people already knew about the existence of the Jinsha River. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Jinsha River was referred to as "Ruoshui", but it was not regarded as the source of the Yangtze River. Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water" wrote:

If the water out of Shu County outside the cow, southeast to the old pass, for the water is also ......Northeast to Yandao County (now Yibin), into the river", "Minshan in Shu County, Shidao County, out of the river, southeast through the north of the county". It can be seen that the famous geographer Li Daoyuan also believes that the Yangtze River.

1. Original text. The river is to the east, and the west is in the Ling Gorge. "Yidu Ji" said:

From the east of the Yellow Cow Beach into the Xiling boundary, to the mouth of the gorge 100 miles, the mountains and rivers are meandering, and the high mountains on both sides of the river are heavily obstructed, not the middle of the day and the middle of the night, the sun and the moon are not seen, the cliff or a thousand zhang, its stone color is described, there are many likenesses. The forest is luxuriant, slightly winter and spring. The ape roared to the clear, the valley resounded, and the murmur was endless.

The so-called Three Gorges is one of them. Shan Song said: "I often hear that the water in the gorge is sick, and the secretary and the oral transmission are known to be afraid of each other, and there is no beauty of mountains and rivers."

And the rest of the practice of this realm, even if you are happy to believe that it is better to hear than to see it yourself. Its stacked peaks are strange and shaped, and it is difficult to describe. The forest is Xiao Sen, and the separation from the Wei Wei is on the surface of the glow.

Looking up and looking down, the study is good, lingering in the letter, and not forgetting to return. As far as the experience goes, there is no taste. Not only are you happy to enjoy this wonder, the mountains and rivers have spirits, but you should also be surprised to know that you are in the eternal.

2. Translation. The river flows eastward and passes through Xiling Gorge. "Yidu Ji" says:

From the Yellow Cow Beach to the east into Xiling Gorge, to the exit of Xiling Gorge about 100 miles, the mountains and rivers twist and turn, the mountains on both sides of the river are high and steep, overlapping and overlapping, not the middle of the day or the middle of the night, the sun and the moon can not be seen, some of the cliffs have about a thousand zhang, the stone is colorful, the shape is mostly like something. The trees are tall and dense, and the sound of the apes is particularly clear, and the sound of crispness is transmitted endlessly in the valley. ”

The Three Gorges is one of them. Shan Song said: "I often hear that the water in the gorge is turbulent, and what is recorded or passed on by word of mouth is to warn against fear, and no one has ever praised the beauty of the landscape."

It wasn't until I came to the place and felt happy that I realized that it was better to hear than to see. The overlapping and beautiful peaks, the strange structure, and the strange shapes are difficult to describe in words.

The forest is gloomy and solemn, lush, look up to admire, lean over the body to taste, the more familiar the better, linger for two days, forget to return. What the eye sees, it has never seen before. Since I am happy to see this strange landscape, if the landscape has spirituality, it should be as happy as meeting a confidant!

3. Source. Excerpt from "Notes on the Book of Water".

The real source of the Yangtze River is under the Geladan Winter Ice Peak at the northern foot of the Tanggula Mountain, and its source is the Tuotuo River.

The real lack of recognition of the source of the Yangtze River is still after the founding of New China. In August 1956, the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Committee organized manpower to conduct field surveys in Qumalai and other places at the source of the Yangtze River, and found that the Yangtze River was divided into two sources: the southern source was the Mulu Wusu River, which originated at the northern foot of Boyi or Tanggula Mountain, and the northern source was the Chumar River, which originated at the southern foot of Keh Xili Mountain in Kivu.

Although it is a big step forward from the past, it has not yet found its true origin. In 1977, a Jiangyuan expedition team organized by the Yangtze River Basin Planning Office and other units came to the headwaters of the Yangtze River again, and found that the real source of the Yangtze River was under the Geladandong Ice Peak at the northern foot of the Tanggula Mountain, and its source was the Tuotuo River. This is the first time in history that the true source of the Yangtze River has been identified.

Kela Dandong is a Tibetan word meaning to:"High, pointed peaks"。

It's the ice on the winter ice peaks of Geradan.

Chinese name: 郦道元。

Ethnicity: Han Chinese.

Place of birth: Fanyang County (Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province).

Date of birth: c. 470 AD.

Date of death: 527 A.D.

Main achievements: Laid the foundation for the research of geography, hydrology and other disciplines.

Representative works: "Notes on the Book of Water", etc.

Li Daoyuan (c. 470-527), a native of Zhuo County, Fanyang County, Northern Wei Dynasty (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province), was the son of Pingdong General of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Qingzhou Thorn History, and Yongning Hou Lifan, and a famous geographer and writer in China. Finished his.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Northern Wei Dynasty annotated the "Water Classic", and it turned out to be a book, called "Water Scripture Commentary".

The two named places in Li Daoyuan's "River Water" are Rentan and Huangniu Mountain.

The river is east again, the wolf tail beach, and the Liren beach. Yuan Shansong said: "The two beaches are two miles apart.

The beach is steep, and the water is steep. There is bluestone on the south bank, summer does not come out in winter, its stone, in dozens of steps, all make human face shape, large or small; Those who are clearly distinguished, must have all hair: because of the name of the beach also.

The river is east again, the Yellow Cow Mountain, and there is a beach called the Yellow Cow Beach. The heavy ridges on the south bank are stacked, there are stones between the outermost high cliffs, the color is like a person carrying a knife and a cow, a person is black and bezoar, and the achievements are distinct. Since it is untouched, there is no need to investigate it. This mountain is high, and the river is turbulent, although the way to believe in the house, still hope to see this thing, so the traveler said:

Morning cattle, twilight cattle; Three dynasties and three twilight, the scalper is the same. "The words are deep, and looking back is like one.

The translation is: The river flows eastward, passing through the Wolf Tail Beach and then passing the Human Beach. Yuan Shansong (a famous literati of the Jin Dynasty) said:

The two shores are two miles apart. The river is very turbulent. On the south bank of the river, there are many large cyan stones, which are flooded in summer and exposed in winter

In ancient times, the unit of length was far away, and they were all in the shape of human faces, some large and some small; Those with clear lines, hair and beard can be distinguished: hence the name "human beach".

The river goes east again, passing through the Yellow Cow Mountain, and there is a dangerous beach called the Yellow Cow Beach at the bottom of the mountain. On the south bank, the overlapping mountains rise one by one, and there is a stone between the outermost cliffs, the color of which is like a man carrying a knife leading an ox, the man is black, and the ox is yellow, which looks very distinct. Because it is difficult for people to reach, it is impossible to exhaustively study the actual situation.

This mountain is high, coupled with the turbulent river and twists and turns, even if you walk for two days and two nights, you can still see this stone, so the people who walk make up a song and say: "Start from the bottom of the Yellow Cow Mountain in the morning, and stay at the bottom of the Yellow Cow Mountain in the evening; For three days and three nights, Huangniu Mountain could still be seen as clearly as before. "It's about the twists and turns of the waterway, and (after walking a long way) looking back at Huangniu Mountain is still the same as before.

So the two places that got their names are Rentan and Huangniu Mountain.

The Yangtze River originates from the main peak of Tanggula Mountain on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

It flows through Qinghai, Xi-Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shanghai.

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River together are called the "Mother River". It also symbolizes the endless life.

The Yangtze River is the third longest river in the world and the third largest river in terms of water volume.
