合肥地域南淝河史事考述

Investigation on the History of Nanfeihe River in the Hefei Region

依据《水经注》和明清时期合肥方志对合肥地域流经的南淝河予以考述。指出,南淝河在中国古代的某些历史时期称为施水,而不是一般俗说的南淝河就是施水。到清朝中后期,合肥志书分析古代肥水、施水之源与流合走向的变迁,已较为合理,尤其是论肥水、施水在清以前居于芍陂和巢湖两大湖之间的变迁,见解有独到之处。进而提出,古代江淮河等水系走向已与今日区别甚大,今人更不可用今日流经简单揣测古时走向。要以历史时期地理变迁的角度审度,历史地看待古人对江淮等水系描述的一些言论;后人必须明白,同样是讲施水,《水经注》中的施水,与晚清人讲的施水,又有区别。

According to Shui .ling Zhu and Hefei local records in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this paper has investigated Nanfeihe River flowing through Hefei geographical region. The article points out that Nanfeihe River was not called Shi water on the terms of the general custom, but in some periods of ancient Chinese history. To the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there was more reasonable analysis of the source and the change of flowing direction of the ancient Feishui River and Shishui River in Hefei local records. In particular, there were unique insights on analyzing the change of Feishui River and Shishui River lying between the two lakes： Shaopei Lake and Chaohu Lake before the Qing Dynasty. This article puts forward further that there are great differences in the flowing direction of Changjiang River and Huaihe River between now and before, so today＇s people cannot simply speculate the ancient flowing direction according to present state. We should look on the remarks ancient people made on the water systems of the Changjiang River and the Huaihe River from the point of view of geographical changes in historical period. People should understand that there are differences in the name of Shishui River in Shui Jing Zhu and late Qing Dynasty.
