Study On The Development Trend Of Wei River Water Transport And Coastal Towns In Ming And Qing Dynasties

Water transport plays an important role in the history of China's ancient traffic,Wei River as an important river in Huanghuaihai Plain,has played an important role in the history of China water transportation.Especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,it has become an important hub for the exchange of materials between North and South China.Along with the rise of water transport,Wei River town is also growing prosperity.The formation and development of Wei River,can be divided into four stages: in the Han and Wei dynasties of Sui and Tang Dynasties Yongji Baigou;Qu;song,Jin and Yuan Dynasties of Ming and Qing Dynasties of Wei River Yuhe.Wei River connecting Henan,Shandong and Gyeonggi region,an important channel is to ensure the normal operation of the North Canal,is the main channel,taking salt transport transport.The development of the canal can promote the economic development of coastal towns,so Wei River also has formed some relatively prosperous commercial town,which is famous is the crossing and linqing.Crossing so there is "little Tianjin Wei",Linqing Wei River and Huitong river is the junction of Linqing has become an important town of the Grande Canale on the west,is always on the move and transport ships of the military traffic and the only way which must be passed,is very important.But by the late Qing Dynasty,and reasons for the decrease of Wei River water Wei River blockage,the rulers of the policy and Dao Qing railway and Beijing Hankou railway construction,the traditional mode of transportation was the impact,Wei River water began to decline.Due to the decline of water transport,Wei River in the former prosperous town has also declined,and now only some of the impact of the smaller regional towns.The rise,prosperity and decline of Weihe water in history have provided us with a lot of valuable experience that can be learned.These experiences and lessons are still worthy of our attention.From the history of the formation and development of the Weihe River,the comprehensive management of Weihe River should not only be considered from the control of the whole Zhang and Weihe River system,but also the river system such as the Yellow River and Dan River,Together to consider,only the overall consideration,in order to achieve the purpose of radical.Revival of the Central Plains ancient water transport,to achieve full communication of the Central Plains water transport network is still necessary.
