Chongming Island Bridge Seen from Changxing Island

On June 5438+1October 2 1, 2006, after visiting Donghai Bridge connecting Yangshan Deepwater Port in the southwest of Shanghai, I remembered that the Yangtze River Bridge connecting Chongming Island across the Yangtze River was being built in the northeast of Shanghai. These two bridges, under the correct leadership of the State Council and the CPC Central Committee, and under the care and auspices of the people of the whole country, are two landmark bridges in Shanghai's socialist construction. It reflects the speed, quality and scientific and technological level of socialist construction in Shanghai. It reflects that China's tunnel and bridge construction has broken through many worldwide scientific and technological difficulties, and the level of tunnel and bridge construction has entered the world's advanced ranks.

Chongming Island is the most backward county in Shanghai, which is mainly blocked by the Yangtze River Gorge. As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first. The completion of the above two bridges will greatly promote the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta. The North Bridge of the South Tunnel connecting Chongming Island is a great event that Chongming people have dreamed of for thousands of years. When General Secretary Hu visited Chongming Island two years ago, a fellow villager of Chongming talked with the General Secretary and asked him to pay more attention to the construction of Chongming, which made him laugh. The general secretary's inspection greatly inspired Chongming people's expectation for the future: the bridge that Chongming people dream of will be built! Chongming is taking off! The construction of the North Bridge of the South Tunnel is not only a great event that Chongming people dream of, but also a great event that people on the north bank of the Yangtze River dream of. In the history of Qidong and Haimen, a considerable number of people moved to Shanghai by boat through Chongming. The author personally saw that in the forties and fifties of last century, Qidong went to Shanghai, and some people took a wooden sailboat to the bay mouth of Chongming Bang Town, and then transferred to Nanmen Port to go to Shanghai, because this was the shortest straight line, but the road was bumpy and difficult! In the last century, Nantong to Shanghai was mostly achieved by ferry: very time-consuming! Now that land transportation has developed to a certain extent, passenger ships from Shanghai to Nantong have long been eliminated, but the transportation is not very convenient. If the north bridge of Huchong South Tunnel is completed, it will also lay the foundation for connecting Jiangsu coastal areas on the north bank of the Yangtze River. In the future, Nantong, which is known as the "little shanghai" in the north of the Yangtze River, faces Qidong, Haimen and Chongming Island across the river, and will form an intercity highway traffic loop. Fast and convenient traffic will greatly promote the development of coastal areas in northern Jiangsu. In the past, Qidong was the end of highway traffic in northern Jiangsu. If its Yangtze River Bridge connects Chongming and Shanghai, it will be "one-way traffic", and it will become a reality to integrate into Shanghai's one-hour economic circle, and "North Shanghai" will become inevitable!

In July, 2002, Mr. Chen, the curator of Shanghai Museum, exhibited the Portrait Painting of Chongming, which he created during his three-year discovery trip in Chongming at the end of last century and the beginning of this century. Some media said that "Chen discovered Shangri-La in Shanghai" and his works caused a sensation in Shanghai. Excited, I took the liberty of writing a letter to Mr. Chen as a Chongming native on 26th, 20021/month, thanking him for his concern for Chongming. Because of the big river gap and backward economy, she needs people's attention too much!

Chongming Island, Shangri-La of Shanghai, is amazing! When I was a child, I heard several adults speak an "encryption language" in Bangzhen. Sometimes when I think about it, it's still a mystery. When I was a child, I often went to the "Deshengtang" Chinese medicine shop across the river from my home to play and watch them boil ointment, cut medicine, grab medicine and listen to jokes. Because there is a big place where some people often chat and relax. When chatting, several people are communicating in a way that others can't understand. I don't understand them. They giggle when it comes to happiness. It shows that they can communicate skillfully in this language, unlike the "Nvshu" in Hunan and "Dongba" in Sichuan, which were circulated and taught in a specific range, so I don't know where they learned it, and I don't know if they created it for fun. Not many people can speak this kind of "encrypted Chongming dialect". Now they are all over eighty years old. It is not clear whether they remember what they said when they were young. I remembered it when I wrote this article. So Chongming seems a little quiet and mysterious to outsiders, and this matter is mysterious enough!

Now, it is very touching to build a tunnel bridge to connect Shanghai and Jiangsu Qidong and Haimen. I want to keep recording relevant news and media on my blog, which is also very interesting! The people are happy for the development of the country!

Second, the origin and significance of Chongming

Chongming Island has a history of 1300 years. In 6 18 AD (the first year of Wude in Tang Dynasty), Dongsha Xisha Islands began to appear in the waters outside the Yangtze River estuary. After that, many sandbars rose and fell from east to west and from south to north, and it was not until the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty that they became Chongming Island. At the beginning of 696 AD (the first year of Long Live the Tang Dynasty), people began to live on the island. In 705 AD (the first year of Shenlong in the Tang Dynasty), a town was set up in Xisha, named Chongming ("Chong" means high, and "Ming" means wide, flat, clear and flat ground above the water surface). In A.D. 1222 (the 15th year of Jiading in Southern Song Dynasty), a God-given saltworks was set up and moved to Tongzhou. In A.D. 1277 (14th year of Yuan Dynasty), it was promoted to Chongming State and transferred to Yangzhou Road. A.D. 1396 (the second year of Hongwu Ming Dynasty) was the county, which was transferred to Yangzhou Road first, then to Suzhou House, and also to Taicang Prefecture. During the Republic of China, it successively belonged to Nantong and Songjiang in Jiangsu. After liberation, it belongs to Nantong, Jiangsu Province. It was transferred to Shanghai from 1958 12 1, and is currently the only county in Shanghai 19 districts and counties.

Changxing Island landed in Xianfeng years, and hengsha island has a history of about 120 years since it was reclaimed from the sea at 1886. 18 Since May 2005, Changxing and Hengsha, which were originally administrative divisions of Baoshan District in Shanghai, have been merged into Chongming County with the approval of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government in the State Council.

Third, Chongming's geographical position and strategic position.

Chongming County is currently composed of three islands: Chongming, Changxing and Hengsha, with a total land area of 14 1 1 km2.

Chongming Island is located at the midpoint of China's western Pacific coastline, at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the largest river in China. It is the largest alluvial island in the world and the third largest island in China after Taiwan Province Island and Hainan Island. Known as "the gateway to the Yangtze River and Yingzhou in the East China Sea". Some people compare the Yangtze River to a "dragon" and call Chongming the "Pearl of Longkou". The whole island is surrounded by rivers on three sides, one facing the sea, the rolling Yangtze River in the west, the vast East China Sea in the east, Pudong New Area, Baoshan District and Taicang City in Jiangsu Province across the sea in the south, and Haimen City and Qidong City in Jiangsu Province in the north. The island covers an area of 1267 square kilometers, with a length of 80 kilometers from east to west and a width of 13 to 18 kilometers from north to south. The island is flat, without hills and hills, slightly higher in the northwest and central, and slightly lower in the southwest and east. More than 90% of the land elevation (based on the elevation of 0m in Wusong) is between 3.2 1m and 4.20m The geographical location of the island ranges from east longitude12109' 30 "to north latitude12154' 00". The island has clean water and soil, fresh air and excellent ecological environment, with an average life expectancy of 76.7 years.

Changxing Island is located in Jiangnan Waterway outside Wusongkou, bordering hengsha island in the east and Chongming Island in the north. The island is banded, 26.8 kilometers long from east to west and 2 ~ 4 kilometers wide from north to south. It covers an area of 88 square kilometers, including 8.5 square kilometers of tidal flats and 26.2 square kilometers of cultivated land (excluding avant-garde farms). There is a deep-water coastline of nearly 20km in the south, with a general water depth of-12m to-16m and the deepest point of-22m, which can dock 300,000-ton ships.

Hengsha island is the easternmost island of the Yangtze River Estuary, with three sides of the river and one side of the sea. Backed by Changxing, it echoes Chongming Island in the north and faces Pudong across the river in the south. The island is conch-shaped, about 12 km long from north to south and about 8 km wide from east to west. The average altitude is 2.8 meters. The total area is 56 square kilometers, including 26.8 square kilometers of cultivated land. At present, there are 200,000 mu of tidal flat resources above 0 meter and 670,000 mu above -5 meter. The surrounding coastline is more than 30 kilometers, of which the southern end is about 2 kilometers deep-water coastline with a water depth of-12 meters. Chongming Island, Shangri-La of Shanghai, is amazing! When I was a child, I heard several adults speak an "encryption language" in Bangzhen. Sometimes when I think about it, it's still a mystery.

Now, it is very touching to build a tunnel bridge to connect Shanghai and Jiangsu Qidong and Haimen. I want to keep recording relevant news and media on my blog, which is also very interesting! The people are happy for the development of the country!
