都江堰英文导游词

　　the dujiangyan dam, 45km north of chengdu, is an

ancient technological wonder of the country. more than XX

yers ago, li bing(250-200bc), as a local governor of the

shu state, designed this water control and irrigation dam

and organized thousands of local people to complete the

project to check the mingjiang river.for many years the

river,flooded the chengdu agricultural area and local

farmers suffered a lot from the water disaster. due to

the success of the project, the dam automatically diverts

the mingjiang river and channels it into irrigation

canals. for many years the dam has continued to make the

most of the water conservancy works.

　　expansion has been undertaken since 1949 and at

present the system does a good job of irrigating farming

land across 33counties of the western part of sichuan

province. local people feel proud of the system becaude

it has supported a large amount of people in their daily

life.

　　what makes this system so good?

　　the system is a large hydraulic water project which

consists of three main parts: the fish mouth water-

dividing dam, the flying sand fence, and the bottle-neck

channel.

　　the fish mouth functions to divide the flow of water

into an inner river and an outer river. long ago, when li

bing worked as the local governor of the shu state, he

found the old river canal was too narrow to hold much

water, which often overflowed the banks and caused

disastrous flood. based on natural geographic conditions,

he organized the people to build a man-made dam. the

whole dam looks like a fish, and the front dam has a

circular cone shaped like a fish mouth. it is the dam

that channels water into an outer canal and an inner

canal. the outer water canal functions as the main stream

and holds sixty percent of water in the river. the extra

water goes through the inner canal for irrigation in

chengdu areas.

　　the flying sand fence joins the inner and outer

canals. the fence functions to controll the flow of water

and discharge excess into the inner canal from the main

stream. during the dry season the fence doesn't work

much, but when floods occur, the river rushes forward

along the outer canal. as it approaches the fence, the

fence,the river begins to turn round fast and soon many

whirlpools are formed. the volatile whirlpools sweep away

sand and pebbles and, throw them into the outer canal.

for many years huge bamboo baskets were used as the

fence. they were filled with stones and pebbles.

however,at present, reinforced concrete weir has replaced

the ancient fence.

　　so now, let's discuss the bottle-neck channel. a

trunk canal was cut through the mountain into two parts

which link up the inner canal for irrigation. the small

part is later called li dui, which means an isolated

hill. chengdu looks like a large bottle and the trunk

canal between the mountain and the hill takes shape of

the bottleneck. the trunk canal technically has two

functions: first, it leads the water to irrigate the

farming land in western sichujan; secondly, the trunk

casnal works together with the flying sand weir to keep

the flow below a certain point in the inner canal during

flood season. some stone tablets, which stand on the

isolated hill, are engraved in buddhist sanskrit. the

local people hope that the buddhist tablets can exert the

buddhist superpower to harness flood disaster. for over

two thousand years, in fact, the fish mouth water-

dividing dam, the flying sand weir, and the bottle-neck

channel automatically work together to control foods and
