Brief introduction of Weihe river

Weihe River (also called Weihe River or Hewei) is a tributary of the South Canal of Haihe River System in China. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was named after Wei land and evolved from Gubaigou, Yongji Canal and Yu He River. Originated in Taihang Mountain in Shanxi, it flows through Xinxiang and Anyang in Henan, and accepts Qihe River and Anyang River along the way until Guantao and Zhanghe River in Hebei meet, which is called Zhangwei River. Then it flows through Linqing, Shandong Province, into the South Canal, and then into the Haihe River in Tianjin. Today, in the south of Cangxian County, a river was dug to reduce the river and direct the flood to the sea.

Weihe River originated in the southern foot of Taihang Mountain in Bai Quan Town, huixian city, Henan Province.

Baiquanchi at the foot of Lushan Mountain, the Weihe River is more than 900 kilometers long, and the main stream below Hehe River is 283 kilometers long, spanning Henan, Shandong, Hebei and Tianjin, and finally entering Haihe River and flowing into Bohai Sea from Tianjin. Because it mainly flows through the land of the ancient Wei State, it has been called Weihe River since the Sui Dynasty, which is the mother river of Xinxiang City. Before 1960s, it was also an important inland waterway in North China Plain (Xinxiang-Tianjin) and one of the five tributaries of Haihe River.

Weihe River has two sources, one at the foot of Sumen Mountain in huixian city, Xinxiang, Henan Province, and the other at Zaojiaoshu Village, Bo 'ai County, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province. They all originate from the confluence of Hehe Village in Xinxiang County, Qimen in Xun County, Qishui, Huanshui in Anyang County, Tangyin and Tangshui, and are formed by the confluence of more than ten tributaries such as Qihe River, Huan River (Anyang River) and Tanghe River. The main stream below Hehe River is 283 kilometers long and flows through Xinxiang City, Xinxiang County, Jixian County (now Weihui City), Xunxian County, hua county, tangyin county, Neihuang County, qingfeng county and Nanle County of Henan Province, as well as Weixian County of Hebei Province, daming county and guanxian of Shandong Province. When Xuwancang Village, Luli Township, Guantao County, Handan City, Hebei Province meets Zhanghe River, it is called Wei Canal, with a total length of 157 km. Zhang Weixin flows eastward into the Bohai Sea at Dahekou, with a total length of 245 kilometers.

The so-called Weihe River usually refers to the section from Hehe Township in Xinxiang, Henan Province to Chenggou Bay in Liaocheng, Shandong Province.
