What does it mean to sail on land Introduce the significance of sailing on land.

1, about 1 km above Hukou Waterfall, there is a small village called Longwangda, which is said to be the resting place of the Longwang. There used to be a story of "boating on a dry boat". In ancient times, it was very thrilling to fall into the water in the air because of the rapid flow and direct diarrhea of Hukou Waterfall. Therefore, all ships, large and small, sailing on the Yellow River and passing through Hukou must stop at Longwangda, upstream of the waterfall, tie ropes on the ships, manually pull the empty ships out of the river by dry road, and transport the goods from land by other means of transportation for loading. This practice is called "sailing on land".

2. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to poor land transportation and convenient and economical water transportation, the water transportation in the upper reaches of Hukou was particularly busy, and thousands of cargo ships transshipped through Hukou every year. Due to the barrier of Hukou Waterfall, ships had to dock at the upstream of Hukou to unload their goods, so a flood and drought wharf was formed under the mountain root not far from the east bank of Hukou Waterfall, which was called Ming and Qing Wharf. In its heyday, there were more than 60 companies and more than 500 caves. People describe them like this: the star sets of passenger ships are connected together like files; There are many shops, like wild geese. Today, there are still hundreds of caves here, so you can imagine how lively it was.

3. After the Tongpu Railway was opened, the goods along the river were no longer transported by water, but by railway, and the phenomenon of "dry boat" gradually disappeared. Although sailing on land has long been history, from the deep traces left by ancient navigation, we can still feel the difficulties of our ancestors in doing business and the sweat and sweat of our followers.
