A decline of the ancient city of Kaifeng was once prosperous because of the Yellow River floods of rain, while the deep underground, now exposed on the ground of historical sites, is also a reminder that people do not forget that she has a legend. Kaifeng, the ancient city wall with moat, through the Yellow and the Yellow River main channel connected to the Yellow River flood channel in the flood season of the diarrhea. As early as the Sung dynasty, when the moat should be linked with the north and south of the Grand Canal, "Painting Scroll" is depicted as a water transportation hub in Kyoto style. Due to diversion of the Yellow River several times, since after the Song of the Grand Canal is no longer through Kaifeng, Kaifeng City, is gradually disappearing, rivers or narrow, diversion, or loss of connection with the main stream, gradually disappeared among the increasing population of the city. Until the late 70s, Kaifeng still remained scattered remains of the canal Shuicheng, which is scattered around in the moat and the walls inside and outside of the large and small lakes.
The lake is located in outer suburbs have been due to the smaller man-made destruction, the larger, Kaifeng, referred to as a "pool", be used after the liberation, Xiu-reservoirs, and now the existing Blackpool, Liu pool. The lake is located in the city and the suburbs, large called "pit", a small called "lake" is the most famous Pan Lake, Yang pit. Hunan and Hubei is located in the former imperial palace at the foot of the Longting was later classified Longting park management, was the capital of the few preserved and unpolluted waters. As Yang pit was still connected with the moat, while the Pan Lake is within the lake, Hunan and Hubei a freshman is small, a clear a turbid, a clear distinction between love and hate this to Hubei and Hunan Kaifeng, who took the name so appropriate to commemorate the then all-powerful Yang household, due to a traitor soothe the souls of the victims of injustice. If you have a friend named Pan Pan went to the lake, even Kaifeng, hospitable people and then there will be a trace of embarrassment heart, just as Yue Fei in Hangzhou temple stood Qin Hui Qin surname as in the former.
And the Pan Lake, Yang pit equally famous, is located within the Great South Gate, the small lakes near the south entrance, called the package House pit. It is said that the government package named after the pit is due to assume personal command of the Kaifeng Bao Zheng year ranked here. The reform and opening up, Kaifeng city government to change the name of the gentle - Bao Lake, Lake repair the commemoration of the temple named Bao Bao House. Pack House pit once was the capital's largest lakes, in my childhood memories, these lakes, large and small, five or six interconnected, while there are flows through the city gates and the economic benefits associated river, lake clear, there is diffuse yellow sand at the end of the lake is a good place for swimming. Since the late seventies, where large-scale filling the build to Gailou, Wai Chi River flows through the city's rivers are seriously polluted due to become the city's largest sewage ditch, since the late seventies have been buried into the ground floor River, past the river has become the inner ring road, pits the government is no longer connected with the package. Then Liu Yong's novels "willow shore Xiaofeng moon," the landscape has been nowhere to be found in. Today's Bao lake retained only the largest of the east and west two lakes, but its area is also greatly reduced.
70 years ago, the walls inside and outside the size of the puddles grow in huge carp, lotus and reed, surface Kengbian always scattered to them the stone is a laundry place nearby residents, although when wave after wave of political movements , but not changed laundry where her mother and her mother were the parents a short laughter flying shuttle children playing with the lives of thousands of the same scene from the "Tomb Sweeping Festival on the River" that picture that continues today.
Yellow River flood season each year is the moat of the fishing season had. A summer, there are always three twice, and the Yellow River flood discharge gates diarrhea, shallow river to the steep rise in half-human, deep, full river, with large and small, wild fish somersault,, clusters, and unknown fish shrimp, with the largest or the Yellow River carp. It is the residents along the festival, his father had led the great child, boy have the water, with clutch, with pots of scoop, you can catch a lot of fish. There is no other fishing gear, the heavy burden of huge carp is used bamboo poles, wooden club hit of the. Not a wide river, this time catching the squid became the boys fight over the game. Tickets in that the dates should buy meat the fish how exciting opportunities.
Men fish, girls and young children are not allowed into the water, on the shore side of the number of buckets filled with fish, while the flood of sand carefully, storing, leaving a small opening so that the water coming down, soon, a castle of sand enclosed inside the You are full of countless small fish and shrimp seedling children, children with canned bottled, the home to support play. Kaifeng, eastern suburb industrial zone, there are a number of factories built along, every fishing season right around the plant is always spared the residents so that people down to the river through the plant. More less busy workers along the river down to watch the bustling. The end of fishing season is always most children feel helpless and accept defeat, and talk up the shore of the Yellow River always have the opportunity to farmers, fishermen fishing even more filled with endless reverie.
Until the latter half of the 70s, the more water the plant put more garbage, the river has changed color, banks are missing the beach, moat of the fishing season from extinction.
Today, as people gradually raise the awareness of the environment, much of the waters of all the existing Kaifeng been brought under control and recovery, and surface-to distinguish between more-yee, but hard to find a picture of the year. Recalls his childhood playing in the waterside scenes feel like being in "clear and bright on the River" where the picture. This is also regarded as Tokyo Bianliang temperament of the bar.
