六安城西淠河沙洲考

Study on the Sandbar of the Pi River in West Lu'an

淠河是皋陶后裔故封地——六安的母亲河,也是古代六安的"茶麻古道"。淠河六安城西沙洲见诸明清六安古方志记载。据此可知,宋元明时期淠河的几次大洪水,造成流沙在六安城西的沉积,逐渐形成沙洲。自然形成的沙洲,不仅宜渔宜居,形成了独特的"桃坞晴霞"景观,还改变了淠河河道,使之更宜水运仓储。

The Pi River is the mother river of the People in Lu＇an which is the fief of Gao-yao＇s offspring,and the ＂tea-hemp route＂in Lu＇an in ancient times.These are data about the sandbar of the Pi River in local chronicles of Lu＇an in the Ming and Qing dynasties.Accordingly,there are several major floods in the Pi River valley in Song,Yuan and Ming dynasties,which result in deposition of sand in the river west of the city of Lu＇an,gradually form the sandbar.The naturally developed sandbar,not only should fish livable,form the unique landscape of＂Sunglow of Tao Wu＂;also change the course of the Pi River,so more suitable for water transport and warehousing.
