The Jialing River

Jialing River is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It originates from Fengxian County, Baoji City, at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains. It flows through Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, to Chaotianmen, Yuzhong District, Chongqing City, and joins the Yangtze River. In Chaotianmen square, it is an indispensable link to see the yellow, dark and green water blending of the Yangtze River and Jialing River. At night, you can also take a boat to visit the Jialing River at night, and experience the unique night scene of the mountain city by shuttling through a sea of well arranged lights.

Jialing River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is named after the Jialing Valley in the northeast of Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province.

(the first theory comes from the 20th (Yangshui) of shuijingzhu: "the Han River flows into Jialing Road in the South and becomes Jialing water."

）It originates from Daiwang mountain in Fengxian County of Shaanxi Province at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains. The main stream flows through Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Sichuan Province and Chongqing City, and joins the Yangtze River at Chaotianmen, Chongqing city. The main tributaries are: Badu River, Xihanshui River, Bailong River, Qujiang River, Fujiang River, etc. The total length is 1345 km

The main stream basin area is 39200 square kilometers, and the basin area is 160000 square kilometers

）It is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River,

The length is second only to Yalong River and the flow is second only to Minjiang River.

General situation of main stream

The main stream of Jialing River originates from Qinling Mountains, starts from Fengxian County, and flows into the Yangtze River through Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Sichuan Province and Chongqing city. The main stream is 1345 km long,

The main stream basin covers an area of 39200 square kilometers.

Above Zhaohua District, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, is the upper reaches, from Zhaohua to Hechuan District, Chongqing is the middle reaches, and from Hechuan to the estuary of Chongqing is the lower reaches.

Heyuan

Traditionally, there are two sources of Jialing River: Dongyu River in Daiwang mountain, Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province and water in Western Han Dynasty in Qishou mountain, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. Some experts believe that Bailong River originated from Ruoergai grassland, Langmusi Town, Luqu County, Gannan. In October 2011, the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission confirmed Daiwang mountain in Qinling Mountain, Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province as the main source.

Dongyu river originates from dafengou, the south side of Daiwang mountain, 2598 meters above sea level, which is the main ridge of Qinling Mountains in Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province. The upper source is called Danangou. It flows from southeast to northwest, parallel to the upper source of Qingjiang River, a tributary of Weihe River, which originates in the north of Qinling ridge. After reaching jianchaping, Dongyu River and Qingjiang River flow in the southwest and northeast respectively, opposite to each other. According to the records of Fengxian county annals, the reach of Jialing River in Shaanxi Province is called "Gudao River", and it is only when it flows into Sichuan basin that it is called Jialing River. In modern times, Jialing River generally refers to all the river sections below Donghe bridge in Fengxian County.

In Shaanxi Province, Jialing River flows through Fengxian County, into Gansu Province, then back to Shaanxi Province, and out of Shaanxi Province through Lueyang county and Ningqiang County. In Shaanxi Province, it belongs to the upper reaches of the river, with a length of 244 km, accounting for about 30% of the total river length; in Shaanxi Province, the drainage area is 9930 square kilometers, and the average annual runoff is 5.66 billion cubic meters.

In Fengxian County, Shaanxi Province, it was called Gudao River and Donghe River in ancient times, also known as Xianhe river. It originated from Daiwang mountain in the north foot of Qinling Mountains, and flowed from southeast to northwest along dongyugou, and turned southwest near dongheqiao old street. The 23 villages flowing through the towns of huangniupu, Longkou, Fengzhou and shuangshipu enter Liangdang County of Gansu Province. The county is 72 kilometers long, with 52 primary tributaries, 69 secondary tributaries and 19 tertiary tributaries. The annual runoff is 581 million cubic meters, the inflow is 244 million cubic meters, and the average flow is 18.28 cubic meters. The River belongs to the mountain gorge type bundle River, showing the beaded shape of wide gorge alternating. The riverbed gradient is 6.6 ‰, and the sediment sorting is poor. Due to the influence of the neotectonic movement, the valley slope is steep and the meander is deep. The relative height between the riverbed and the valley top is between 200 and 400 meters. There are no continuous terraces along the river. There are large meandering terraces such as caoliangyi, Longkou, Fengzhou and shuangshipu in the broad valley, which are important economic zones along the river.
