Where is the source of Fujiang River? What kind of river is Fujiang in Sichuan?

Fujiang has a very long history. In the Han Dynasty, this river was named after it flowed through Fuxian County. Fujiang River is the largest tributary of Jialing River on the right, and Qujiang River is the largest tributary on the left. The birthplace of Fujiang River is in Xuebaoding, Sichuan. It starts from Xuebaoding, flows to Chongqing, joins Jialing River in Hechuan District of Chongqing, and finally flows into the Yangtze River.

1. Fujiang River was developed earlier. Fujiang River is 700 kilometers long, or 670 kilometers, with a drainage area of 36,400 square kilometers. The water resources in Fujiang River Basin were developed earlier, which was recorded in the Tang Dynasty. The broken foot weir was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the Yunmen weir was also built in that period. Later, Grandpa Deng Xiaoping also came here, calling it the second Dujiangyan.

There are many hydropower stations on the main stream of Fujiang River. The largest hydropower station is the willow project, which was officially started on 20 14. The lower reaches of Fujiang River is an important sericulture place in Sichuan. Because the local environment is suitable for the growth of silkworms, sericulture is very popular in the local area, and the annual cocoon production ranks among the top three in the country.

Second, the transition from agriculture to industry. There are many people living in the middle reaches of Fujiang River. Because of its abundant water resources, most local people depend on Fujiang for their livelihood. At that time, the use of Fujiang River was not as great as that in ancient times, and the traffic was relatively developed. Various systems have been established in the areas flowing through it, including light industry and heavy industry.

Third, the source of Fujiang River has something to do with dragons. Fujiang River originated in Xuebaoding, and the relationship between them was recorded in Shu Shui Kao. At the time of writing, Xuebaoding was called Blue Snow Mountain, and the source of Fujiang River was inextricably linked with the word dragon, because there was a mountain called Canglongshan, Huanglong Temple and Longyan Building under Xuebaoding, and many buildings and place names all had dragons. There are dragons in at least nine places in Pingwu County.

All rivers have different characteristics in each region. Most of them are swift upstream and gentle downstream. The same is true of Fujiang, but it is not obvious in this respect. In the Sichuan basin and lower areas, it is relatively flat and there is no big gap.
