In which dynasty did Shenhuo stop supplying water?

Cautious fire and water stoppage appeared in the Song Dynasty.

China paid great attention to the use of fire prevention slogans in ancient times. Slogans such as "the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful with the candle" and "the stove is bright and the water tank is full" have been circulated for hundreds of years, and people are still familiar with them. If we want to trace back to the source, the earliest slogan of fire prevention in China is "stop water carefully" put forward by Chen Tuan. Actually, "stop" here is not "stop", "stop" is "save", and "stop water carefully" means to use fire to prevent fire and save water to put out the fire.

In 10 15, a fire broke out in Yuanyan Palace, which caused extremely heavy losses. More than 500 people died in the fire fighting alone. Emperor Zhenzong realized that Chen Tuan had "advance notice", so he decided to carry it out and ordered officers to write the words "Be careful of fire and stop water" on all the doors of the barracks, which became the source of posting fire prevention propaganda slogans in ancient China. Then, people were sent to various counties and villages to purchase water storage equipment such as fire prevention tanks and pools.

The concept of "carefully stopping water" also has a good guiding role in the fire safety work in contemporary society. "Stop water supply" means to reserve enough fire-fighting equipment and prepare for fire fighting at any time, and "be careful about fire" means to do fire prevention work carefully.
