The Yangzi is an extraordinary river in a number of ways. It is at the same time one of the country's most important transport routes, carrying a huge amount of cargo and passengers, yet also one of its most formidable barriers. The north and south of the country were for centuries effectively cut off from one another by this huge river, treacherous for its floods and the vast amount of water it drains from the heart of the Asian continent. It carries twenty-one times more water than the Yellow River. Such is the power it has had over the imagination that in the minds of Chinese people, it is seen as the division between the two halves of the country in cultural matters as well. North of it are wheat and dry grain eaters; to its south, rice is the staple. The length of the river (6,300 km) makes it the third longest in the world. It was not bridged until 1957, when a road-rail link at Wuhan was built. This increased the potential for north-south movement, for even after the coming of railways, people and cargo had to make their way by ferry when going on the Beijing to Canton line. Similar problems troubled travel between Beijing and Shanghai, until 1969 with the completion of the famous combined road and rail affair at Nanjing, which spans the 1.5 km-wide river. Such a river is of course immensely useful for transport, and throughout history it has provided a major route for goods and people in its middle and lower reaches. As the extract from Isabelia Bird's 19th century expedition shows, by using teams on the banks it was also possible to pull boats upstream and maintain a traffic even into the heart of Sichuan province. Today, the maintenance of the channel and locks around the Gezhouba dam project means that 3,000 ton ships can travel up as far as Chongqing. It is navigable over nearly half its total length, and with its seven hundred tributaries forms a navigable network of 70,000 km, carrying more than four-fifths of the country's water-borne freight. While this immense traffic helps to knit the country together, the river still imposes its image as a boundary on Chinese thinking. It marks the border between grain yield target areas; north of it farmers are expected to get less because of the shift in weather patterns between the north and south. This has affected tax rates in agriculture and how much was expected to be sold to the state. Such matters also regulate the official attitude to winter heating of urban homes, factories, schools and other public buildings. If you are unlucky enough to live just south of the river where it can still get very cold (e.g. in Hangzhou) there is no entitlement to heating. Not many miles to the north, on the other side, heating is permitted! From its origins in the arid plateau-land of Qinghai the Changjiang passes through nine of the country's provinces, from the sparsely inhabited homelands of nomads, through the Sichuan basin and lower valley which are some of the most agriculturally productive parts of the country. Its middle reaches are carved through the spectacular gorges in the mountains which separate Sichuan from the rest of China. It is home to a unique species of freshwater dolphin, and provides an important livelihood to fishers. At its mouth is Shanghai, a key city in the current modernisation of China. The river is going to be of growing importance to this effort. http://sacu.org/yangzi.html

暗淡了刀光剑影,远去了鼓角争鸣.眼前飞扬着一个个鲜活的面容.湮没了荒城古道,荒芜了烽火边城.岁月啊,你带不走那一串串熟悉的姓名.兴亡谁人定碍…盛衰岂无凭碍…一夜风云散哪……变幻了时空.聚散皆是缘碍…离合总关情碍…担当生前事碍…何计身后评.长江有意化作泪,长江有情起歌声.历史的天空闪烁几颗星,人间一股英雄气在驰骋纵横.
