隋、唐通济渠宋州段流经考辨

A Study of the Drainage Areas of the Songzhou Prefecture Section of Tongji Canal in Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty

隋、唐通济渠流经路线应是自汴州西南约二里许,与古汴水分而偏向东南流,自汴州雍丘县进入宋州境内,向东南依次流经襄邑、宁陵,自此沿古睢水经宋城,至谷熟,再沿分出的古蕲水流经下邑(南)。下流进入时隶亳州的永城,再向东南流经宿州(埇桥)、虹县、泗州,至盱眙对岸入淮。唐代汴河漕运线即隋代通济渠,唐代为更好的利用该漕运通道,主要在其上游进行过疏浚,下游在虹县有过改道,但很快又恢复原状。
