It used to be the largest tributary of Liaohe River in history, and also the inland river with the richest water resources in Liaoning Province. The basin is in the Middle East of Liaoning Province. It originates from gunmaling, Qingyuan County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province, flows through Fushun, Shenyang, Anshan and other cities, and joins into the Daliao River near guchizi, Panshan county.

General situation of River Basin

Hun River, called Liao River and small Liao River before Han and Tang Dynasties, was called the Hun River after Liao Dynasty. It was named for the swift flow and the muddy water. It is one of the main rivers in Liaoning Province, and also the essence city of Liaoning province. There are famous cities such as Shenyang and Fushun in the basin. The upper source of Hun River is also called nalushui, or red river. The section near Shenyang City is also called Shenshui. The lower Pu River is also called clam river when it joins. Hun River originates from the west side of gunmaling, the branch of Changbai Mountain in wandianzi Town, Qingyuan County, Fushun City. The source area has high mountains, dense forests and clear water. Hunhe River flows through Qingyuan, Xinbin, Fushun, Shenyang, Liaozhong, Liaoyang, Haicheng, Taian and other cities and counties. It flows into the Daliao River at the confluence of Sancha River and Taizi River. It has a total length of 415 kilometers and a drainage area of 11500 square kilometers. The hilly area accounts for 65% of the total basin area, and the plain area accounts for 35%. The main tributaries are Yinge River, Zhangdang River, Wanquan River, Xihe River and Puhe River on the right bank; Suzi River, saerhu River, she River, Dongzhou River, Guchengzi River, Lagu River and baitabao River on the left bank. Generally, the tributaries are concentrated in the middle and upper reaches above Shenyang, of which 31 tributaries have a drainage area of more than 100 square kilometers. The tributaries of Dongzhou River, Guchengzi River, Zhangdang River and Puhe River are relatively large.

Hun River has a total length of 415 kilometers, which was called Shenshui River in ancient times, also known as Xiaoliao river. It originated in the east of Fushun City and flows through Qingyuan, Xinbin, Fushun, Shenyang, Liaozhong, Dengta, Liaoyang County, Tai'an, Haicheng and other counties from east to west. Gunmaling, wandianzi Town, Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County, Fushun City is the birthplace of Hun River, the mother river of Shen and Fu cities.

Hun River used to be the largest tributary of Liao River in history. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the influence of human activities and the aggravation of soil erosion on both sides of the Xiliao River in the upper reaches, the water and sediment concentration of the Liaohe River increased greatly, the lower reaches of the river became silted and burst frequently. After the dual influence of natural selection and human control, the mainstream of the Liaohe River was diverted from Panjin to the sea.

The basin covers an area of 25000 square kilometers with an annual runoff of 5-7 billion cubic meters. Hun River is an asymmetric water system, with dense tributaries in the East, steep slopes and deep valleys, and abundant water; while there are few tributaries in the west, with little water. It flows through Fushun, Shenyang and other cities and counties. Hun River flows through the central urban agglomeration of Liaoning Province, where the traditional heavy industry is relatively developed and the population is dense. With the West Liaohe River, the ancient source of Liaohe River, flowing through Horqin sandy land, dried up, and the runoff of Liaohe River has been less than 50% of what it used to be, Hun River and its tributary Taizi River undertake almost all the water supply tasks of the central urban agglomeration.

Source of Hunhe River

There is the largest forest farm in wandianzi town of Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County. But it is more well known because gunmaling is the birthplace of Hun River, the mother river of Shen and Fu. Especially in recent years, with the establishment of hunheyuan forest company, this quiet mountain forest shows its beautiful face. About 500 meters southbound from the wandianzi forest farm, you can reach the chopping rafter ditch village. On the hill, an antique tall archway stands up against the wind. This is the gate of Hunhe forest park. The car drove up the mountain road and immediately got away from the noise of the city. And with the jumping change of the scene in front of me, my mood suddenly brightened. The green everywhere in the mountains is full of green, and the air is full of the fragrance of soil. The vegetation here is in good condition, and the forest coverage rate is as high as 67%. In ancient times, it was called "nalun woji", which means a place with dense trees.

The famous Hunhe River source scenic spot is located at the foot of gunmaling, where the scenery is more fresh and pleasant. It is said that Xue Rengui, a great general of the Tang Dynasty, was passing by here. He was greedy for the scenery in front of him and rolled his horse carelessly. Hence the name of "rolling horse ridge". Along the way, the forest is often accompanied by the sound of water, but near the source, everything is quiet. Only to see the source of stone, a clear spring slowly outflow. Visitors often wonder why the trickle has brought up thousands of children? Looking around the mountains, the answer comes from itself. The vast expanse of forest is the inexhaustible source of the water. Under the source, the water becomes a pond. It is a beautiful picture of nature.

In the Southeast Chagou of hunheyuan Forest Park, there is a unique natural landscape - "poplar king". After two hundred years of wind and rain, the tree is still flourishing. The height of the tree is about 20 meters and the crown is 150 square meters. The tree is 2.1 meters in diameter and 6.4 meters in girth. It needs four adult men to stretch their arms. The watchtower is a unique scenery in the forest area. Dengsilou can not only take a panoramic view of the magnificent pictures of the whole forest park, but also fully experience the heroic situation of "swinging the chest to produce stratiform clouds, looking at the small mountains".

When you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, when you see through the happiness of life and go to the forest at the source of Hunhe River, you will find a lot of natural things that originally belong to you.

The origin of the name

Hun River is the third largest river in Liaoning Province except Yalu River and Liao River. Hun River originates from the foot of gunmaling mountain in wandianzi Town, flows to wandianzi by chopping rafter gully, and then flows through Taipingtun to Yaoling River by Jianshanzi, and flows to majianzhai village, five kilometers west of Qingyuan Town, where it joins with Yinge river.

It is said that Hun River was an unknown River 400 years ago. Of course, no one would have thought that this clear river would be named Hun River! What's going on? This name is based on the military strategy of Nurhachi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, General Li Chengliang led his troops to attack Nurhachi, who had just become king. One day, Nuerhachi's explorers reported from the front line: "the Ming army's 200000 soldiers came to Jianzhou from Shengjing, Liaoyang and Xingcheng. Now they have reached the hadaling area, and they claim that they must destroy our big gold!" Nurhachi was very anxious when he got this information. He thought to himself, "I only have tens of thousands of soldiers in Jianzhou. How can I resist 200000 Ming army?"

At night he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he asked the military division and some generals to discuss the plan of withdrawing troops. After careful discussion, Nurhachi believes that this battle can only be won by wisdom, not by hard work.

The next day, Nurhachi led the main forces to leave Jianzhou, the capital of Dajin, and crossed the Longgang mountain. Along the Honghe River system, Nurhachi made a detour back to Bajiazi, beisanjia, Cangshi and nanzamu, waiting for work and looking for fighters. One day, surrounded by the people, Nurhachi came to the river. At this time, tanma reported: "the front of the Ming army can reach saerhu and tiebeishan within 80 Li.".

Looking at the surging river and listening to the rushing sound of the rapids and eddies, Nurhachi had a plan in mind. So he ordered that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses should all go down the river. While letting the horses drink, he drove them up and down the river. At the same time, he ordered the whole army to mobilize the people along the river to transport all their horse dung to the river. These tens of thousands of troops and horses, together with tens of thousands of people, and cars pulling people to the platform, in an instant, this clear river was stirred to the bottom of the sand, and the muddy water was vast, with horse urine and horse dung, becoming a real Hun River.

When General Li Chengliang arrived at Sarhu, he saw no rebel resistance, no sign of the red banners of nurha. However, he saw the muddy river, horse urine and horse dung, as if thousands of troops had just crossed. Li Chengliang said inexplicably: "we can see that there are a lot of Nurhachi soldiers and horses. Otherwise, how could this river have such a thick layer of horse dung floating on it?" At this time, a counsellor whispered to Li Chengliang, "Nuerhachi's use of troops has always been changeable. Look at the river, we may be surrounded!" After listening to the Counselor's words, Li Chengliang's hair stood up. He looked up at the vast wild forest on both sides of the river, and looked down at the muddy river. He said with a gloomy face, withdraw! In a flash, in a burst of dust, 200000 troops fled the river.

When Nurhachi heard the news, he looked up to the sky and screamed: "we can make the river muddy and scare away the Ming army. This is due to the Hunhe River.".

Since then, the name of "Hunhe" has been handed down to the present day.

Treat both the symptoms and the root causes

A few years ago, ten large and small sewage outlets along Hunhe River in Shenyang continued to discharge pollutants. It can be seen from the environmental monitoring bulletin that the indexes of ammonia nitrogen and COD are very high. In addition to natural factors, such as the poor natural purification capacity of rivers in the northern plain
