Yuhang Tanghe

Yuhang Tanghe

Yuhang Tanghe River, formerly known as "Yunliang River" or "Guantang River", flows through Yuhang Town, Cangqian town and Wuchang Street to Hangzhou and joins the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, with a total length of 19.8 km. The Tanghe River in Yuhang has a rich history of merchant ships and shipping, which reflects the water control culture, business culture and architectural culture with the development of water transport culture. It is an important part of the historical changes of Hangzhou.

history

During Daye period of Sui Dynasty (605-618), Yuhang Tanghe River was dredged for water transport, which was one of the main channels in ancient Yuhang county. It is recorded in Yuhang county annals written by Jiaqing of Qing Dynasty that "Yuhang Tanghe River is two Li southeast of the county, 30 steps wide and about one Zhang deep, connecting Nanqu River, from anleqiao 45 Li to the canal of Hangzhou". The upstream of yuhangtang river is Nanqu river. In the Song Dynasty, the Nanqu river was connected to the Muzhu River in the west, from shimentang to Dongxiao palace. The lower reaches pass Changqiao, flow about seven Li to the East, then to the Fudu bridge, turn southeast and flow about twelve Li, then to Guanyin bridge and flow about one Li to the East, finally to maiyu bridge, and meet with Xiatang river. In ancient times, bamboo and wood mountain goods from Lin'an and Yuqian were distributed to Yuhang by Mu Zhu River.

The Tanghe River in Yuhang is "better than more than 300 boats when it is full of water, and more than 100 boats when it is dry.". In 1359, Zhang Shicheng opened a new canal from Wulin port to jiangchangqiao, which made yuhangtang River communicate with Beijing Hangzhou canal in a straight line and improved the function of yuhangtang River as a waterway. In the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1684), stone was selected to build the dyke from Yuhang Dongguan to Wenchang Pavilion on the left side of the road. In the following year, the river was dredged up to Shimen to dredge the shallow part of the Nanqu River, which was blocked by commercial boats, and the muchu river was silted up to irrigate the fields. By 1933, the channel was 4 meters wide and could be used for small boats. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, due to the increase in the distribution of materials in Yuhang port, large tonnage wooden sail ships arrived in Yuhang one after another. The narrow river channel of the old channel, maiyuqiao, hindered navigation. Except for the ships and small tonnage ships who continued to drive Guanyinqiao and maiyuqiao, the channel changed from Yuhang to Cangqian and nuerqiao to yangjiaqiao, turned north over yangjiaqiao, circled Sandun wenxingge, and turned East through Xiangfu Bridge, Southeast out of the river, Huian bridge to Daguan bridge into the canal.

In 1247 ad, in the seventh year of Chunyou in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Hangzhou, the West Lake bottomed out, and 100 wells dried up. In order to solve the problem of poor water supply for the people in the capital, the court launched a "water diversion project from Tianmu Mountain": through the Yuhang Tanghe River, the water from Tianmu Mountain will be led from Yuhang to the Bazi bridge, and then from the Bazi bridge to the West Lake. The Tianmu water flowing into the West Lake flows into Lin'an City through underground culverts.

One hundred years later, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to facilitate the transportation of military supplies, Zhang Shicheng, king of Wu, led 200000 soldiers and civilians to dig a "20 Zhang wide" new canal from jiangzhang bridge (the bridge between Xinyifang and Hangban building) to Tangqi. The new canal connects yuhangtang River in the north and Jiangnan canal excavated by Emperor Suiyang in the south. Since then, rice and other local products from Yuhang Town, Cangqian town and Jiangcun township have been continuously transported to the north through yuhangtang River and Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal, so yuhangtang river is also known as "Yunliang River".

In the 1980s, Hangzhou thermal power plant was built near yuhangtang Hebei bridge, and this "grain transportation River" became "coal transportation River".

River Planning

In the "Hangzhou river traffic and shipping planning", it is pointed out that there are mainly nine water bus lines in Hangzhou in the future, and two of them pass through yuhangtang river. In the "Yuhang group zoning plan" and "Yuhang innovation base master plan", the corresponding planning for water bus is also made, which will realize the connection between yuhangtang River and the main urban area of Hangzhou as well as the internal innovation base. In recent years, many industrial enterprises such as thermal power plant, cement plant and plastic plant are distributed along and around yuhangtang River, which has caused certain impact and damage to the river ecological environment. To this end, the District Planning Bureau has entrusted China United Engineering Corporation to work out the comprehensive regulation plan of yuhangtang river. At the same time, in the group zoning planning and the overall planning of the innovation base, the distribution of the polluted industrial land around the coast is adjusted, and the greening requirements on both sides of the river are specified.

In 2008, about 96 ships (19000 tons) sailed on the Hangyu line. There are 18 wharves on both sides of Hangyu line channel, with a length of 3134 meters and 51 berths. The maximum berthing capacity of ships is 300 tons. The main outward cargo of Yuhang port is non-metallic ore and stone, while the inward cargo is coal, Huangsha, gypsum and cement plant ore. In September this year, the water bus from Wulin gate to Xixi (Wuchang port) was opened in Hangzhou. The waterway of Hangyu line adopts the traffic control scheme of passing water buses in the daytime and cargo ships at night. Since July 1, 2009, the passage of freighters on the Hangzhou Yuhang line has been prohibited, and 18 wharves of Yuhang group along the line have been closed. The Yuhang District government subsidizes the transfer of 78 cargo ships sailing on the Hangyu line all the year round. The waterway of Hangyu line realizes the transition from passenger ship traffic to passenger ship traffic, and becomes a special line for water tourism.
