Baiyanggou, Yongcheng

On the east side of the government of Chengguan Town, Yongcheng City, there is a north-south gully called baiyanggou. It originates from the moat and flows southward to Yinzhuang of Huangkou Township and into Huihe River, with a total length of 14.5km and a drainage area of 36.2km.

Baiyanggou is not wide, deep and small, and its appearance is plain. However, its long history and profound cultural heritage are amazing. Shuijing is the first monograph on river system in China. It was written in the early Eastern Han Dynasty and has been nearly 2000 years. This book is specially attached to Li Daoyuan's shuijingzhu. It is such a monograph, but there is a special record of baiyanggou. According to shuijingzhu, baiyanggou is Lianshui. How long is the history of baiyanggou? as one can imagine.

Why is it called baiyanggou? There is a beautiful legend here.

I can't tell how many years ago, and I don't know which dynasty it was. Yongcheng is still a small town with only a few hundred people. There is no moat around the town. There is only a small pond in the south of the town. Tangbian lived an old man named Zhang, who lost his wife in his early years and adopted a daughter named Bai Yang. Bai Yang is very close to Li Qing, the boy next door. When they were 18 years old, they were engaged.

Just when they fell in love, a son of the Dragon King of Donghai came to Yongcheng. When he saw that Bai Yang looked like a fairy and wanted to marry her, he offended the Dragon King of Donghai. There was a torrential rain in Yongcheng area, and the walls fell down. In desperation, Bai Yang agreed to get married, and the rain just stopped.

On the wedding night of Bai Yang and Longzi, Bai Yang takes advantage of Longzi's drunkenness and deep sleep to return to Yongcheng with the white jade hairpin given to her by the Dragon King. Looking at the vast ocean, she felt sad, so she drew a circle around Yongcheng with a hairpin in her hand, forming a deep and wide moat, which went down a lot. Then he rowed south to form a big ditch, which led the water around Yongcheng to the Huihe river. After all this, Bai Yang knows that she has broken the rules of heaven, and the Dragon King and the Dragon son will not let her go. In order to be loyal to Li Qing, she resolutely plunges into Dagou and ends her young life. People miss Baiyang, so they named this ditch baiyanggou.

After Bai Yang's death, Li Qing missed each other day and night. The world could not be together, only the hell could get together again. He came to the east of baiyanggou, which originated from the north and south of Zhaozhuang, and fell into the river. The ditch passes through Dongcheng of nandianzi to Wangzhuang of Huangkou Township, and also flows into Huihe River, with a total length of 17.2 km. Later, people named the ditch Daqinggou. "Qingyang chases Baiyang, 18000 long." This is a popular folk doggerel, which tells a story about a couple's faithful love.

As baiyanggou has a long history, it has been managed many times. In the spring of 1686, Zhou Zhengji, the magistrate of Yongcheng County, organized Kaijun. After dredging, he also personally wrote an article called "records of the ditch in the south of Kaitan city", which systematically expounded the principle of "water conservancy is the foundation of farmland". He hoped that later people would "not be afraid of being the advocate, if the number is increased, the people who enjoy the benefits would rather be poor!" In the sixth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty and the 23rd year of the Republic of China, baiyanggou was dredged. After the founding of new China, dredging was carried out three times in 1950, 1957 and 1985.

In the past, there were two bridges in the Chengguan Town section of baiyanggou. In the north is Lianhua bridge, also known as Hutou bridge, which is to the north of today's Chengguan town government; in the south is Jindai bridge, also known as Jinqiao, which is to the north of today's national highway 311. The original one hole sluice on Jindai bridge was rebuilt as a square hole sluice in the winter of 1959. Why build a sluice here?

In the years after 1957, due to the implementation of the policy of "storage first" in water control, the river network project was carried out and the water system was disrupted. Wangyin River originally flowed to zhaiqiao in Suixi County and into Tanghe River. In the winter of this year, Suixi County changed the course of the river without authorization and started to flow southward along yongsui border from mengkou to daiqiao and merged into Tuohe River, which not only doubled the burden of Tuohe river. At the same time, the drainage of Yongcheng river basin area of more than 300 square kilometers between Tuohe River and Wangyin river was blocked, which resulted in disaster every rain in this area. At the same time, Suixi County built the jiangnianshu sluice of Tuohe River, which made it more difficult to discharge flood. In order to reduce the flood disaster caused by the above reasons as much as possible, in the winter of 1959, Yongcheng built a 6-hole diversion gate at the head of baiyanggou, with a width of 3.5 meters, in order to enter the Huihe river through baiyanggou and Daqinggou fentuo River in flood season. This caused the opposition of Suixi County. Due to the practice of diversion in history, on July 27, 1961, the Ministry of water and electricity ruled in the "opinions on solving the water conservancy problems at the boundary of Eastern Henan and Northern Anhui" that "the water diversion from baiyanggou and Daqinggou should be temporarily carried out, and the total maximum discharge of the two gullies should not exceed 60 seconds per meter." On February 24, 1964, the Henan provincial Party committee sent Ji Dengkui to Hefei to discuss with Li Baohua, the Secretary of Anhui Province, and formed the "opinions on the treatment of water conservancy problems at the boundary between Eastern Henan and Anhui Province": "the old wangyinhe river was restored, the original water system was restored, and the mengkou Daihe sluice was changed and abolished." "Baiyanggou branch Tuo into the river is still divided according to the original schedule of 60 seconds meters." "In the long run, the Ministry of clean water and power will study and determine whether to separate or not in the Tuohe river planning." In 1969, after the unified management of Tuohe River, baiyanggou was no longer used for flood diversion, and Yongcheng blocked and removed the five hole sluice.

It can be seen that in that special year, baiyanggou played a very important role in eliminating the flood disaster in Yongcheng.

In the long course of history, baiyanggou has its hard years and brilliant chapters. It witnessed the bitterness, bitterness and sweetness of the people, as well as the difficulties and tragedies caused by wars and natural disasters. With its winding body, it carries and spreads people's livelihood, people's wishes, water culture and ancient city civilization; with its unique position, it undertakes a special historical mission.

However, in recent years, the pollution of moat and baiyanggou is more serious, which is not commensurate with modern civilization. Yongcheng municipal Party committee, municipal government and Chengguan town Party committee and government have made up their minds to deal with it. It can be predicted that in the near future, a harmonious relationship between man and nature will be established, and baiyanggou will return to its former style.
