The deeds of some historical water conservancy figures:

1, Dayu

According to legend, Yu was born in more than 2000 BC. His surname is Si Heming, also known as Dayu and Emperor Yu. Dayu's flood control is known as the origin of Chinese civilization, which laid the foundation for the establishment of Xia Dynasty.

According to legend, there was a nationwide flood in Yu's time. "Book of History Yao Dian" contains: "When the soup is flooded, cut it, Hu Aishan Xiangling swings it, majestic and consulted by the people." The huge flood made people miserable.

As a result, the Emperor Yao Shile Gun (the father of Yu) took the method of "preventing hundred rivers from drowning and lowering the height of drowning (low)", which lasted for nine years without success. Following in his father's footsteps, Yu Zi was ordered to continue to shoulder the heavy responsibility of water control, sum up and learn from the experience and lessons of water control by blasting, and put forward a general plan of water control, which lasted for thirteen years and finally succeeded in water control.

2. Li Bing

Li Bing (the year of birth and death is unknown) was the prefect of Shu County from about 256 BC to 250 BC. He was a famous hydraulic scientist during the Warring States Period.

During his tenure as Shu Shou, Li Bing presided over the construction of the famous Dujiangyan water conservancy project. Historical Records Biography of Rivers and Channels says: "Shu defends the ice, chisels away from the pile, breaks the foam and floods, and crosses the middle of Chengdu and the two rivers", making Chengdu Plain a land of abundance with "people follow the floods and droughts" and "fertile fields for thousands of miles".

According to the Records of Huayang Guozhi Shuzhi, Li Bing not only built Dujiangyan water conservancy project, but also dug beaches and dredged waterways in Yibin and Leshan today, and built irrigation and shipping projects such as Wenjing River, Baimu River, Luoshui River and Mianshui River, which made pioneering contributions to the development of water conservancy in Sichuan.
