The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.
The Yangtze River is about 6,397 kilometers long, ranking third in the world, after the Nile River in Africa and the Amazon River in South America. The upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are demarcated by **What are the different names of the different sections of the Yangtze River?
The source of the Yangtze River to Yichang, Hubei Province is the upper reaches, with a length of about 4,504 kilometersYichang to Jiujiang Lake, Jiangxi Province (where Poyang Lake joins the Yangtze River) is the middle reach, about 955 kilometers long;The east of the lake mouth is the downstream of the Yangtze River estuary, with a length of about 938 kilometers.
[Yichang].
The boundary between the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River is in Yichang, Hubei, that is, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River after leaving the Three Gorges.
This division is related to the Minjiang River, which originates from the southern foot of the Minshan Mountains and crosses the Chengdu Plain from north to south, with a length of about 711 kilometers, and is called the Yangtze River at the confluence of the Jinsha River in Yibin. The Dadu River, a tributary of the Min River, is about 1,062 kilometers long, and if the Dadu River is the main source, the length reaches 1,279 kilometers.
The average flow of the Dadu River is 1500 cubic meters per second, and the average flow of the Dadu River-Minjiang River is 2830 cubic meters per second (including the Dadu River), and the Dadu River-Min River is the tributary with the largest water volume of the Yangtze River.
In ancient times, the perception of rivers was mainly in the plains and low mountains, and I didn't know where the source of the Yellow River was, so I said that "the water of the Yellow River came from the sky". The main stream of the Dadu River is mainly on the western Sichuan Plateau, and the section that flows into the Sichuan Basin is relatively short, and the ancients naturally regarded the Dadu River as a tributary of the Minjiang River, with the Minjiang River as the source, and this ancient culture is still continued today.
The same is true of the Jinsha River, which is about 2,316 meters long, but its length is limited in the Sichuan Basin, as it rushes down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau-Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The length of the Minjiang River from Dujiangyan to Yibin is about 370 kilometers, which is much longer than the length of the Jinsha River in the Sichuan Basin plain.
During the Three Kingdoms, Chengdu of the Shu Han Dynasty and Jianye of the Eastern Wu Dynasty (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) were the two imperial capitals at the end of the Yangtze River. The ancients cut the Yangtze River into three sections, and the Yangtze River in the Sichuan Basin (including the Min River and the Three Gorges) is called the upper reaches, which is roughly one-third of the length of the ancient Yangtze River. Today, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River can be traced back to Dangqu on the Tibetan Plateau, and the length of the upper reaches has increased dramatically to about 4,504 kilometers.
[Lake Mouth].
The boundary between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is in Jiangkou County, Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, where Poyang Lake joins the Yangtze River. Hukou is located at the junction of Jiangxi, Anhui and Hubei provinces, and is the northern gate of Jiangxi water", which is known as "the key to the rivers and lakes, the thoroughfare of the three provinces".
Poyang Lake was called Peng Li, Peng Lize, Peng Ze, Guanting Lake in ancient times, the longest from north to south is about 173 kilometers, the widest from east to west is about 74 kilometers, and the water level of the lake mouth is 21At 71 meters, the water storage is about 27.6 billion cubic meters, and the lake surface area is 3,283 square kilometers, making it the second largest lake and the first freshwater lake in China.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Poyang Lake was located at the head of Wu and the tail of Chu, and the sphere of influence of Chu was almost east to the area of Poyang Lake, and then to the east was the land of Wu Yue. If the soldiers of the past dynasties wanted to compete for power in the south of the Yangtze River, they must occupy Poyang Lake and the Jiangxi region.
In 208 (the thirteenth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty), Sun Quantun soldiers Chaisang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi). Cao Cao's persuasion reads: "Those who are close to the country are punished, and Liu Cong is restrained." There are 800,000 people in the Imabari water army, and Fang and the general will hunt in Wu. Sun Quan ordered the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu and Liu Bei to form a coalition army, marched west against the Yangtze River, and attacked the red cliff between Xiakou (now Wuhan) and Baqiu with Huang Gai, destroying the chain of ships of Cao's army, and Cao Cao fell back to the north. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao's army retreated to Xiangyang, and Cao's grandson and Liu divided Jingzhou into three parts, and the momentum of the Three Kingdoms was formed.
Jiangxi is surrounded by Xiongshan and dangerous water on three sides, and can enter Guangdong in the south, Hunan in the west, and Anhui, Jiangsu, and Fujian in the east. If the Jingchu forces get Poyang Lake and the Jiangxi region, it is equivalent to getting the key to open the door to the above-mentioned areas, and it will be difficult for the Wuyue forces to turn the tables against the wind, and vice versa.
The above is the division of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, what are the different names of each section of the Yangtze River?
[Dangqu].
The source of the Yangtze River is at the eastern foot of Xiasheri Abashan in the eastern section of Tanggula Mountain, and the upstream is called Dangqu, which is about 360 kilometers long at the confluence of Tuotuo River in Nangji Balong, Qinghai.
The Yangtze River has two major sources, Tuotuo River and Dangqu, and the Tuotuo River is 348636 long2 meters, flow 4673 cubic meters of sec;When the song is long 3603378 m;Flow rate 204 cubic meters per second. When Qu is slightly longer than the Tuotuo River, the water flow is far better than the Tuotuo River, and it has rightly become the source of the Yangtze River.
【Tongtian River】
The section of the Yangtze River from Nangji Balong to Yushu in Qinghai (where the Batang River joins the Yangtze River) is called the Tongtian River, which is about 813 kilometers long.
The Tongtian River in "Journey to the West" has a path of 800 miles, and few people have traveled since ancient times. The Tongtian River swallows Huayue, runs through hundreds of rivers, is blank like the sea, and is boundless. On the way to learn the scriptures, the Tang monk and apprentice were hindered by the king of inspiration;When he came back from learning the scriptures, he passed through the Tongtian River again, and an old turtle sank the true scriptures into the river, almost making the merits of learning the scriptures fall short.
[Jinsha River].
The section of the Yangtze River from Yushu in Qinghai to Yibin in Sichuan (the confluence of the Min River and the Jinsha River) is called the Jinsha River and is about 2,308 kilometers long.
The Jinsha River was called Lushui in ancient times, and Zhuge Liang's "Teacher Table": "Therefore, crossing Lu in May is not barren." The Jinsha River comes down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the scale of ancient towns is limited, Zhuge Liang said "barren land", Yibin has "the first city of the Yangtze River".
[Chuanjiang].
The section of the Yangtze River from Yibin, Sichuan to Yichang, Hubei Province, is called the Sichuan River, that is, the name of the Yangtze River in the Sichuan Basin, which is about 1,023 kilometers long.
The Sichuan River can be divided into two sections, the upstream is called the Shu River, and the downstream is called the Ba River, corresponding to the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Ba Kingdom, that is, Sichuan and Chongqing.
The Sichuan River runs from Fengjie in Chongqing (the White Emperor City of Liu Bei Tuogu) to Yichang in Hubei Province, and is called the "Xiajiang", that is, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River stretches from Fengjie White Emperor City in Chongqing in the west to Nanjin Pass in Yichang, Hubei Province in the east, with a length of about 193 kilometers. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River from west to east are: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge.
Zheng Yue of the Ming Dynasty "Pingshu Kou": "A water looks at each other from afar, and the mountains are alone and sorrowful." On the day of retirement, the Sichuan River is rapid. ”
[Jingjiang].
This section of the Yangtze River from Yichang, Hubei Province to Chenglingji (Dongting Lake Estuary) in Yueyang, Hunan Province is called Jingjiang.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Chu, also known as the State of Jing or Jing Chu, the Jingjiang River was the hinterland of the State of Chu, and the capital of the State of Chu, Yingdu (now Jingzhou, Hubei) was on the Jing River.
Su Shi's "White Emperor Temple": "The deserted city is full of autumn grass, and the ancient trees and wild vines are drooping. The mighty Jingjiang River is far away, and the desolate Shu guests are sad. ”
Qing Dynasty Nalan Xingde "Sending Sun Friends": "The sunset of the Jingjiang River is low, and the Hengge Prancing Horse is now." ”
[Chu Jiang].
This section of the Yangtze River from Chenglingji (Dongting Lake Estuary) in Yueyang, Hunan Province to Nanjing is called Chu River, and the Anhui section is also called Anhui River.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the main sphere of influence of the Chu State was in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the part of the Yangtze River below Nanjing is generally considered to be the boundary of Wuyue.
Tang Dynasty Li Bai "Looking at Tianmen Mountain": Tianmen interrupted the opening of the Chu River, and the blue water flowed eastward to this time. The green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite each other, and the lonely sail comes by the sun.
The Yangtze River has a sharp turn in Wuhu, Anhui Province, originally flowing from west to east, but instead flowing from south to north, narrowing at the mouth of the river near Tianmen, and there is an island of Chenqiaozhou, causing the turquoise river to stir up swirls and the waves are turbulent. The east side of the Yangtze River is Dongliang Mountain (also known as Bowang Mountain, Tianmen Mountain), the west side is Xiliang Mountain (also known as Liangshan), the two mountains are stony mountains, the Yangtze River is sandwiched between the east and west, and the confrontation is like a door, called Tianmen.
[Yangtze River].
From Nanjing to the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is called the Yangtze River. There is a Yangzi Jindu near Yangzhou, hence the name.
Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty "Hengjiang Ci": "Hengjiang West looks west to block Qin, and Han River connects Yangzijin in the east." The white waves are like mountains that can be crossed, and the wind is sad to kill the sail people. ”
Southern Song Dynasty Wen Tianxiang "Yangtze River": "A few days with the wind in the North Sea, back from the Yangtze River." The minister's heart is a magnetic needle, and he refuses to rest without a guide. ”
