Hongqi Canal is located in Linzhou City, Anyang City, Henan Province, at the junction of Henan and Shanxi. Historically, it suffered from severe drought and water shortage. According to historical records, from the first year of Ming Dynasty (i.e. 1436) to the founding of New China in 1949, and in the spring and autumn of ***5 14, there were more than 100 natural disasters in Linxian County, and the drought disappeared.
Sometimes droughts last for years, rivers and wells dry up and crops can't be harvested. According to historical records and folklore, the drought is so severe that people eat people, and people eat people five times in 5 14 years. In Yuan Dynasty, Li Hanqing, the magistrate of Lu 'an, planned to build the Tian Ping Canal, and Xie Sicong, the magistrate of Linxian County, organized to build the Xiegong Canal in Ming Dynasty.
However, these projects only solved the problem of water use in some villages, and could not fundamentally change the water shortage in Linxian County. At that time, there were 985,000 mu of cultivated land in the county, but only 1.24 million mu of irrigated land, and the grain output was very low, making people's lives very difficult.
