The law of water control can't be unified, stick to anecdotes and be credulous. There are high and low levels of land cover, rapids, shallow reservoirs and twists and turns. If you don't know the situation, you won't be exhausted without consulting. So, you have to do your best to die.
In the past, Hai Zhongjie (Hai Rui) ruled the river, put on a robe and walked slowly, braved the rain to catch the wind, and went back and forth between deserted villages and wild waters, personally giving money to deliver meals, without deducting a penny, and never asking for a penny from official clothes. This must be the case before it can be done. Love idleness and hate labor, forget righteousness for profit, avoid resentment for fear, then things are not lifted, and water conservancy is not prosperous.
Translation:
The way to control water can neither be stubborn and inflexible, stick to ancient laws and regulations, nor easily believe what others say. The reason is that the terrain is high and low, the water flow is slow and fast, the water stop place (pond) is shallow and deep, and the river is curved and straight. Without observation and measurement, we can't know its real situation. You can't fully understand the situation without visiting and asking for advice. Therefore, you must climb mountains and wade in person, not afraid of hardship.
Harry often wears light casual clothes when managing rivers. Regardless of the wind and rain, he came and went in the desolate chaos, personally sending money and grain to migrant workers, without deducting a penny, and the accompanying officials and servants did not extort a penny. Things must be like this to succeed. If you covet comfort, fear hardship, care about self-interest, forget public welfare, stay away from suspicion and avoid complaining, then things can't be done and water conservancy can't be done well.
2. Jing Wong River Management
Original text:
In the twelfth year of Yongping, a tributary was planned to attract scenery and ask water. Qi has a stake in Chen Jing, so he should be sensitive to it and kind to the emperor. He also made great achievements in tasting and repairing instruments, and was given landscapes such as Shan Hai Jing, Hequ Shu, Yu Gong Tu and money and silk clothes. In summer, he sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to build dikes and canals with Wang and traveled thousands of miles from Xingyang to Haikou. The landscape is a commercial terrain, where the mountains and hills are cut, the work is broken, and it goes straight into ravines and streams, preventing erosion and dredging, and setting up water gates in miles, which is even more confusing and there is no danger of repeated collapse. Although the scene is simple and the service fee is saved, it is still tens of billions. Next summer, it will be finished. The emperor personally visited and ordered the counties along the river to set up river embankment officials, such as the old Xijing system. Jingyu is very famous.
In the twelfth year of Yongping, when discussing the management of a tributary, the emperor summoned Wang Jing to ask about the geographical situation and the convenient conditions for water control. Jing Wong sensitively and quickly stated the interests of water control, which was appreciated by the emperor. Because he once managed Junyi, he got Shan Hai Jing, Hequ Shu, Yu Gong Tu and money, cloth and silk. In summer, the imperial court finally recruited hundreds of thousands of troops and sent Wang Jing and Wu Wang to build river embankments, which ran for more than 1,000 miles from Yang Rong to Qiancheng Haikou. Wang Jing then surveyed the terrain, got through the hills, cleared the sand and gravel in the water, directly cut off the big ditch and deep stream, built dams at key points, dredged and guided the flow of accumulated water, and built a sluice every ten miles, so that the water could pour back and forth, and there was no danger of breach. Although Jing Wong has saved the project cost, the cost is still calculated in tens of billions. The following summer, the canal was built. The emperor personally inspected, and officials in charge of the river embankment were set up in the county of the Yellow River, just like the system in the Western Han Dynasty. Jing Wong became famous for it.
During the period of Yao and Shun, the Nine Rivers died and flooded. Yao used a gun to control water, and the gun used the method of blocking water, which was useless for nine years. After Shun used Yu to control water, Yu opened Kyushu, connected Jiu Road and took Jiu River to Jiu San. Dredge the river, make the best use of the situation, and overcome the flood at the end of thirteen years.
2. A temple in the south of Cangzhou, near the river bank. The gate collapsed in the river, and two stone beasts sank to the bottom of the river together.
After more than ten years, the monk raised money to rebuild the temple, looking for two stone beasts in the river, but finally he didn't find them, thinking they were downstream. I shook a few boats, pulled an iron rake, searched for more than ten miles, and disappeared.
A lecturer was teaching in a temple. When he heard the voice of ridicule, he said, "You people can't be reasonable. This is not sawdust. How could it be swept away by the flood? The nature of stone is hard and heavy, and the nature of sand is loose and light. Buried in the sand, deeper and deeper.
Isn't it ridiculous to look for them along the river? "Everyone is convinced that it is correct. Hearing this, an old boatman smiled and said, "Where the stone fell into the river, we should look for it from the upstream.
The nature of stone is hard and heavy, and the nature of sand is loose and light. Water can't wash away stones. Its reaction force will inevitably form a pit under the stone and directly impact the sand in front of the stone. The deeper the rush, the halfway through, the stone must fall into the hole.
Hit it like this and the stone will move again. Keep going, so don't go upstream.
It is absurd to look for stones downstream; Wouldn't it be more ridiculous to find them in situ? "According to his words, indeed as expected in a few miles away to find the stone beast. So there are many examples in the world that only know one thing but not the other. Can we make subjective judgments based on one aspect of truth? [Edit this paragraph] Explanation of words: ① Cangzhou: now Cangzhou City, Hebei Province.
Pro: Near. River: refers to the Yellow River.

3. The ancient prose describing "water" can't be repeated without days, and things without hearts don't need to be carried. Taishan does not set likes and dislikes, so it can become high; Jianghai doesn't choose small help, so it can become rich. Therefore, adults are placed in the world, and their hearts are in the mountains and seas, making the country rich and strong. There is no poison of anger in the world, no bitterness in the world, honesty in the world, and giving up the Tao. Therefore, long-term profit accumulation has made great achievements, with fame ahead, virtue behind, and governance. ("Everything is wrong")
The sea does not hesitate to water, so it can become big; Mountains don't care about earth and stone, so they can be high; A master never tires of others, so he can become a crowd; Scholars never tire of learning, so they can become saints. ("Formal Pipeline Solution")
Confucius said, "The knower enjoys water, and the benevolent enjoys Leshan; The knower moves, and the benevolent is quiet; Those who know are happy, and those who are benevolent are longevity. " ("The Analects of Confucius Yongye")
Zi said in Sichuan: "The deceased is like a husband, not giving up day and night." ("The Analects of Confucius Zi Han")
Xu Zi said: "Zhong Ni called water and said,' water, water!'" "How to get it from the water?"
Mencius said, "The source of hooliganism never gives up day and night and falls behind in the Pacific Ocean. If you have this, you can take it. If there is no foundation, the rain will gather in July and August, and the ditch will be full and dry. Therefore, I have heard that gentlemen are ashamed. " ("Mencius Li Lou")
Mencius said, "Confucius climbed the East Mountain but was small, and climbed Mount Tai but was smaller than the world. Therefore, it is difficult for people watching the sea to swim in the water, and it is also difficult for people at the gate of saints to speak. If you have the ability to watch water, you must watch it. The sun and moon are bright, and the light will shine. Running water is also a thing, but it is not a mirror; The ambition of a gentleman is also in the Tao, and it cannot reach the chapter. " ("Mencius wholeheartedly")
Good as water. There is no doubt that water is good for everything. Being in the evil of everyone, so being in the Tao. Living in a good place, kind-hearted, kind-hearted, good at words, good at governance, good at doing things, good at dealing with people. Husband is just indisputable, so there is nothing special. (Chapter 8 of Lao Zi)
Jianghai can be the king of all the valleys, just because of his kindness. ("Lao Zi" Chapter 66)
The world is not weaker than water, and the strong cannot win, so it is easy. Weakness is better than strength, softness is better than strength, and the world knows everything. ("Lao Zi" Chapter seventy-eight)
The image of the husband and soldier is water, and the journey of water avoids the high, while the shape of the soldier avoids the real and hits the virtual; Water flows because of the ground, and soldiers win because of the enemy. Therefore, the soldiers have no constant potential and the water is impermanent. Being able to win because of the enemy's change is called God. (Sun Tzu's Art of War Virtual Reality)
4. The classical Chinese translation of River Water can't be stubborn, inflexible, rigid in ancient laws and regulations, and can't easily believe what others say. The reason is that the terrain is high and low, the water flow is slow and fast, the water stop place (pond) is shallow and deep, and the river is curved and straight. Without observation and measurement, we can't know its real situation. You can't fully understand the situation without visiting and asking for advice. Therefore, you must climb mountains and wade in person, not afraid of hardship.
Harry often wears light casual clothes when managing rivers. Regardless of the wind and rain, he came and went in the desolate chaos, personally sending money and grain to migrant workers, without deducting a penny, and the accompanying officials and servants did not extort a penny. Things must be like this to succeed. If you covet comfort, fear hardship, care about self-interest, forget public welfare, stay away from suspicion and avoid complaining, then things can't be done and water conservancy can't be done well.
5. What are the classical poems of China praising water? Ice is colder than water, and water will be blocked by soldiers, and water will cover it up.
Baishui builds a new Bashan, and the last stop can't cross the fire and water.
Draw out a sword and cut off water, spring breeze, Yishui, lotus traffic, mountain spring water
It makes my heart crinkle like a pool of spring water to sip water and measure it with a ruler.
Playing Reservoir Dogs is watertight, dripping into ice, dripping through the stone and fresh water friendship.
Climb the mountain near the water, fight to raise the water, the water is like water, the wind blows the water, and the hibiscus comes out.
Sailing against the current does not collect public water, running water in mountains and plowing water under the bridge.
Huang Heqing, the river is clear, the boat is not washed, the flood is cross-flowing, and wild animals fish in troubled waters.
Fish in troubled waters, the sea group flies lightly, and if the water is backed by the mountain, it will be like a mirror.
The dragon takes water to save the people from fire and water. Small water droplets form an ocean near the water tower.
Close to the water tower, the moon accumulates soil as a mountain, the water is intentional, and the water is ruthless.
Li Anquan keeps the water flowing, the water doesn't rot, and Uncle Hu doesn't pour water into it.
Running water, peach blossom, running water, ruthless woody water source, cattle are forced to sail against the current without drinking water.

6. The original text of "Mengmenshan" in "The Full Text of Mengmenshan Classical Chinese":
It flows from Quxian in the north to the south in the west, and there is a windy mountain four miles west. Henan Mengmenshan Fengshan Shanxi 40 miles, opposite Longmen. Shan Hai Jing said: "Mengmen Mountain is rich in gold and jade, and there are many yellow and white nephelines under the mountain." Huai Nan Zi said, "The Longmen has not been opened, and Lvliang has not been chiseled. The river flows out of Mengmen, overflows against the current, and there is no hill or damage, so it is called flood. Dayu dredging is called Mengmen. " Therefore, "Mu Chuan" said: "The nine rivers in Mengmen are raised in the north."
Mengmen, that is, the mouth above Longmen. In fact, it is the giant of the river and the name of Meng Jinjin. This stone was cut by Yu, and it was widely washed in the river. The shore is deep and the cliff is guarded, and the boulder is dangerous. As the ancients said, water is not cut by stones, but can enter stones. Believe it! Among them, the water is rushing and Yunfu is floating in the air. Those who come and go from afar are often stunned by the fog. Its water is still rushing, hanging in thousands of feet, muddy and angry, bulging like a mountain, deepening the waves and sinking the base, until the next mouth, only to know that the "son of God" is going down the Longmen and floating bamboo, which is not chased by horses.
Translation:
The south of the river passes through the west of the old city of Beiqu County. There is a windy mountain forty miles west and a windy mountain forty miles west, which is Mengmeng Mountain in Henan Province. "Shan Hai Jing" records: Mengmen Mountain is rich in gold and jade, and there are many yellow sand and nieshi under the mountain. Huainanzi recorded that the Longmen was not opened and Lvliang did not dig it. The river flows out of Mengmen, overflows slowly, goes upstream, and there are no hills and high hills, so it is called flood. Dayu dredged the river and called it Mengmen. Therefore, according to Mu Chuan, Beimengmen is the slope of nine rivers. Mengmen is the entrance of Longmen. It is indeed a huge pass in the river, also known as "Mengmenjin".
Legend has it that the Longmen was carved by Dayu. The river is in a turbulent state, and the water has been sandwiched by mountains for a long time. There are cliffs on both sides, and the high boulder seems to fall if it leans against the cliff. The ancients once said: "water is not a mason's chisel, but it can enter the stone." Sure enough! Longmen water flows meet and collide, and white water vapor floats in the air like a cloud. People walking in the distance seem to be entangled in fog, and looking into the depths of the fog is really a thrilling feeling. The river stirred up a thousand waves, like a waterfall, like a raging hairpin, like a torrent of mountains and rivers, and went straight to the downstream. I just know that when Shenzi rode down the Longmen on a bamboo raft, four carriages would never catch up.

Notes on Water Classics by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Dynasties. The water mirror annotation is named after the water mirror annotation. The book Water Mirror is about 10,000 words, and the Notes on Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty says that it "draws water from the world, 137". Water Mirror Notes looks like water mirror notes, but in fact, it takes water mirror as the key link and records more than 1000 rivers and related historical sites, stories, myths and legends in detail. It is the most comprehensive and systematic comprehensive geographical work in ancient China. The book also records a large number of stone tablet ink and fishing songs and folk songs, with gorgeous words and beautiful language, which has high literary value. Because most of the documents cited in the book have been lost, Zhu has preserved a lot of materials, which is of great reference value for studying the ancient history and geography of China.
