Time and place of Yellow River flood in Kangxi period
Some important records of 1662 flood disaster have been quoted in the two sections of rain and water conditions. Under such an unusual rainstorm and flood, the main tributaries of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the main streams of the North Yellow River, the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the vast areas on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, as well as the areas from Gaobao Lake south of Hongze Lake to He Lixia, Jiangsu Province, the main stream of the Huaihe River, have all suffered serious floods. Because there are only two river basins covered by heavy rain, there are also floods in Hanjiang River and Zhangwei River. Among them, the disaster in Hanjiang River is serious. Zhu, governor of the Yellow River, reported in Volume 14 of Flood Control and Drainage:

This year (the first year of Kangxi), Yang Hou (referring to the water god) raged. Since Xia Dong, Beizhi, Henan, Shandong, Jiangnan (now Jiangsu, Anhui) and other places have repeatedly reported that they are immersed in heaven and pregnant with acupuncture points. In the past few months, although I have been in the cocoon and missed four times, there is no such thing as a hundred rivers rising. Human resource management has been destroyed, and the Tianhe River has been flooded endlessly.

First of all, in the main rainstorm center in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, under the attack of long-lasting rainstorm and heavy rainstorm, disasters such as city walls, civil affairs departments, Buddhist temples (the strongest buildings in loess areas) and folk kilns have appeared and generally collapsed. In Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi, landslides and ground collapses occurred in many places, Jing Quan flooded, the ground was flooded, the wall houses and bridges were destroyed, and many people drowned. In this case, people either live in a ruined temple or flee at the same speed. Due to the injury of crops, the salt pond was killed (the price of bucket salt rose to one or two yuan), and it was really impossible to live.

Abnormal runoff and flood will inevitably occur under heavy rain. As a result, all the valleys were flooded, the mountains were flooded, the rivers were flooded, and the fertile soil became a huge immersion liquid. People's fields near rivers such as Jinghe River and Weihe River were flooded, villages were washed away and collapsed, and cross-strait traffic was cut off. Some rivers flow and migrate. Flooding disasters have occurred in Jinghe River, Weihe River and Beiluo River. Fenhe River, Qinhe River, Sushui River and Luo Yi River were also flooded. A large number of houses in Tianhe were flooded. In Xugou County, Shanxi Province (now the left side of Fenhe River in Qingxu County and the north of Taigu County), three rivers rise at the same time, and the water depth of the flat land exceeds Changyu, and the county is blocked by four doors. This serious disaster is an example.

In the 12th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1655), the main stream of the Yellow River north swung eastward. In the fourth year of Qin Long (1570), the main stream of the Yellow River flooded, and the buildings on Fenyinsui in Ronghe County were damaged and repaired. Although the previous river changes have been eroded, the important buildings and shops are still there. By the autumn flood of the first year of Kangxi, these remaining buildings were completely washed away by the Yellow River. The former site of Ronghe County is located in Ronghe Town, Wanrong County, near the east bank of the Yellow River. Sui and Fenyin buildings no longer exist today.

The flood disaster in the main stream of the Yellow River is extremely serious and well documented. In the summer of the first year of Kangxi, there were many executions in the lower reaches. In autumn, the stone incense burner in Cao county and the Huanglian collection in Zhongmu have not been sealed. When the catastrophic flood came in August, on 17, Niushitun in Cao County burst its mouth, and the north dike burst eastward and flooded into Yutai County. As many government offices and houses collapsed, farmland along the way was flooded. On the 23rd, it was decided that Gaojiatang, Shuiwei County levee and Siye in Yanglan (now Lankao) were flooded. However, the breach of the Shixiang furnace in Cao County has expanded rapidly, and most of the floods have flooded. At the same time, the Qinhe River flooded, and Wuzhi, Wu Yuan, Wu Yang (now Yuanyang), Dongming and other places sailed on the flat land, and the houses in Tianhe were flooded. Bianshui flooded, the city walls of Kaifeng, Chenliu, Fugou and other counties were flooded, boating in the fields, and countless buildings in rural areas collapsed. The Yellow River flooded from north to south, and there was also a big flood in the Huaihe River basin. From Xihua and Shangshui in Henan Province to the east along Shahe River to Huaiyang area in Jiangsu Province, the Huanghuai River rose, making a Wang Yang. The houses drifted for a few days, and wheat and grain were not harvested and sown, which made the disaster worse.

The Hanjiang River was also flooded at the same time, and the disaster was very serious. In August, the flood in Gucheng reached outside the city gate. Zhongxiang Xujiadi, Caomiao, Zhenjun Temple and Jiukou all exploded in August. Qianjiang Niejiatan collapsed. Fan Linhuan and Nie Jiatan in Jingshan collapsed. Tianmen, Hanchuan River overflows, and Tianmen boat sails on the city (according to field survey, the highest water level of Tianmen 1662 is similar to that of 1935). Yicheng, Jingmen, Xingguo, Jiangling, Mianyang and other areas between Jianghan and Songzi on the other side suffered floods. On August 27th, there was also a large horizontal dike in Zhangwei River, north of the Yellow River.

Four. conclusion

According to a large number of historical data, combined with modern observation and field investigation, the background of rain, water regime, disaster situation, weather situation and climate change is comprehensively analyzed, and it is confirmed that an abnormal flood occurred in the Yellow River in the first year of Kangxi (1662) by verifying the situation of adjacent river basins and the measured data of modern hydrometeorology.

In the later period of the 60-day rainstorm in summer and autumn, this extraordinary flood was caused by a large-scale rainstorm from August 9 to 25 *** 17. Many important tributaries of the Yellow River, such as Weihe River, Jinghe River, Beiluohe River, Fenhe River, Qinhe River, Sushui River, Luo Yi River and the north main stream above Longmen, have all experienced major floods. A serious flood occurred in the Yellow River below Tongguan.

From August 17 to 27, there was also heavy rain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. At present, the flood detention area of Beijindi is covered by rain, and the Jindi River has also been flooded. The flood in the main stream of the Yellow River reached Kaifeng, Henan Province on August 14 and Cao County, Shandong Province on August 15. The high water level lasted for fifteen or sixteen days and nights. Flooding from north to south has seriously affected vast areas of Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces.

A comprehensive analysis of rainfall area, rainfall area, rainfall duration, rainfall intensity, flood process and overflow shows that the total flood volume and total sediment transport volume of this flood may be larger than the catastrophic flood in the 23rd year of Qingdaoguang (1843) and the catastrophic flood in the 26th year of Qingganlong (17 1).
