Qingjiangpu District is one of foururban districts in theprefecture-level city ofHuai'an inChina'sJiangsu Province. It was established on 8 June 2016.[1] The district has an area of 420 km2 (160 sq mi) with a population of 735,900(2016). Qingjiangpu includes 12 subdistricts and 7 towns or townships under its jurisdiction. Its seat is in Chengnan Subdistrict (城南街道).[2]
Qingjiangpu is named for theQingjiangpu River, a canal dug across Shanyang County in 1415 to more safely connect theHuai andYellow Rivers. The canal itself was named for the "Clear River"(清江,Qīngjiāng), a name first applied to theSi owing to its greater clarity than theHuai where they met near present-dayHongze Lake and then applied to the Huai itself owing to its greater clarity than theYellow River, which shifted south into the former course of the Si during theSong.
Qingjiangpu District lies on theJianghuai Plain created from silt deposited by theHuai River. The area was originally held by people considered to beDongyi ("EasternBarbarians") by theearly Chinese. In 486 BC, during theZhou'sSpring and Autumn period, thehegemonFuchai ofWu constructed theHangou Canal(t邗溝,s邗沟,Hángōu) betweenHancheng(邗城,Hánchéng) on theYangtze River in present-dayYangzhou andMokou(末口,Mòkǒu) on theHuai in order to improve his supply lines during his conflicts withQi.[3] This early route relied on connecting a series of flood-prone lakes and streams and was gradually improved over time. During theSui, it became the central course of theGrand Canal. The situation was greatly complicated by theYellow River's shift south of theShandong Peninsula during theSong,capturing the lowerSi and filling the Huai's lower courses and surrounding lakes with sediment. In 1415, the existing Li Canal(里运河,Lǐ yùnhé) was expanded with the Qingjiangpu, a 32-kilometre-long waterway (20 mi) connecting the Qinghe Docks(t清河碼頭,s清河码头,Qīnghé mǎtóu) across Shanyang County(t山陽縣,s山阳县,Shānyáng xiàn) with Shanyang City(t山陽城,s山阳城,Shānyáng chéng) in present-dayHuai'an District.
At the time of the establishment of thePeople's Republic of China in 1949, Qingjiang was the most urbanized part of present-dayHuai'an. It was separated fromHuaiyin County and elevated to the status of acounty-level city in January 1951. It was merged back into Huaiyin County in August 1958 and then separated again in October 1964. As part of the elevation of Huaiyin Prefecture to aprefecture-level city in March 1983, Qingjiang City was divided into the separate districts ofQinghe andQingpu with their border set at the Li Canal. On 8 June 2016, theState Council approved the merger of these two districts as Qingjiangpu and this was enacted on October 8 the same year.[1]
The district of Qingjiangpu is located in the main urban areas of Huai'an. It is bordered to the east byHuai'an District, to the west and north by the district ofHuaiyin, to the south byHongze District.
