Recently, a friend @憆月 posted about the situation of the two rivers in the south and north of Siping. The video he took was really good. I wanted to write about the two rivers in the message, but I couldn’t tell if I didn’t write enough. It is not appropriate to leave a message on Douyin . I think we should check the relevant information and explain it in detail.
A friend left a message on Douyin and said: "The two rivers in the north and south are the mother rivers of Siping ." Some people objected: "There are no homes in Siping. Only when a train station is built will people come to live."
In fact, there are two opinions. reason.
There are no big rivers in the urban area of Siping, only a few small rivers in the Zhaosu Taihe River Basin belonging to the Liaohe River water system, mainly the north and south rivers.
Let’s talk about Beihe first. We all call Beihe Tiaozi River. In fact, the name of this river is not uniform. The names of the upper, middle and lower reaches are different. According to the city history, Beihe, that is, Tiaozi River, originates from Lanjiagou, Shiling Township, Lishu County, with a total length of nearly 80 kilometers from east to west, passing through Xiasantai, Hejiaxinzi, Changfa, From the east of the city to Sandaolinzi, Dahongzui, Tiaozihe and other villages, it ends at Zhangjiatun, the fourth gate of Xinfa Village, Pingxi Township, and flows into the Zhaosu Taihe River through Baishan Village, Changtu County, Liaoning Province. People are accustomed to calling the upper reaches Hongzui River, the middle reaches Beihe, and the lower reaches Tiaozi River.
Let’s talk about Nanhe. Nanhe’s original name is Linjiahe, and its origin is also Lishu, which is Lujiagou in Hafu Commune, with a total length of 19 kilometers. Entering the urban area, it flows into the upper reaches of the Tiaozi River. At the junction of the river and Xinzi Village, it branches off to the south and merges with the river from the Tashan Reservoir. It flows around the south side of the city from east to west through the old city, Pingdong, Qinfu, and Haifeng. Village, etc., is once again included in the main flow of Tiaozi River near Tiaozihe Railway Station.
The description of the above two rivers is copied from "Siping City Chronicles ·Natural Environment·Chapter 4 Hydrology·Surface Water·1. Rivers"
I have seen it in the past and took a look at it. I read it carefully today because of typing. What is doubtful is that after the sources of the two rivers in the north and south were formed, they once merged into one river. There is no indication of the length of the intersection. But they state their respective origins separately. I really don’t know if the water in that section of the river where they meet is very distinct. Half of it is from the North River and the other half is from the South River. Tell a joke.
Of course, modern technology is advanced, and the direction of the river is very clear when taking pictures from the air. In the past this was unthinkable.
For example, Beihe, where the section between Xinzi and the river was called "Xinjia River" before. It was because the Xin family built their home at the intersection of two rivers after they came to reclaim wasteland, so they called their village Xinzi by the river. The reason why it is called Hejia Xinzi is that it branches out from the Xinjia River into a tributary. I wrote an article before and expressed it like this: " The Santaixiu Reservoir is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is a small river winding through the mountains in the upper reaches. I didn't know the name of this small river at the time. Later, I learned about that section of the river. It is called Xinjia River, and there is a village called Hejia Xinzi passing by from the city to Xiasantai. There is a branch not far from Hejia Xinzi. This branched river flows to the south of Siping and flows into a river called Hejia Xinzi in the south of Siping. It is precisely because of this diversion of the Linjia River that the village is built on the river bank, so the name of the village is Hejia Xinzi. "
I didn't think about it carefully at the time, thinking that there was another place in the upper reaches of the Linjia River. There is a source, so it is said that the branched tributaries flow into the Linjia River. this is not right. The branched tributary is Linjia River, also known as Nanhe River.
There was no Xia Santai Reservoir before . What was the original name of the part above the bifurcation of the two rivers? It was a section of river shared by the two rivers. However, the local people must have their own name, and it was not adopted in the city annals. In other words, there is no record of the name of the upper reaches of the reservoir. This shows that the Santai Reservoir has two sources, one in Shilingzi and one in Hafu. There is no record of where the two rivers meet, and we cannot find out the source. Especially to the east of Xia Santai is Liuzhi Bianli, which was a forbidden area in and in the Qing Dynasty.
Now the reservoir can also be regarded as the source of the two rivers.
In the old society, there was a saying, "There is the mouth of Linjia River in the south and the mouth of Xinjia River in the north. All pedestrians come and go by ferry." This is for sure. The river surface at that time may be very wide. Without a bridge, we can only rely on ferry. Full.
Another situation is that there was an ancient city called Yiancheng, which has a history of hundreds or thousands of years. It is not a bad idea to regard the two rivers as mother rivers. Because, when the Siping Tiedong "Siping Street New Market" was built, there was still a big ditch and a big earth edge on the current Tiedong road. It was not until the late 1930s or early 1940s, when the unified Siping City was established, that the big soil edges were bulldozed and the big Haogou was filled up and turned into a road in the city. Therefore, earlier, it was not just Tiaozihe Railway Station that was merged into Tiaozihe. The Nanhe River in Tiedong, that is, the Linjia River and the Xiaohongzui River, are connected.
