The Cognitive System of Huntong River System During the Qing Dynasty
The major rivers such as Songhua River,Heilongjiang River and Huntong River support the basic framework of the water system in the central and northern regions of Northeast China.However,there were often discrepancies in the records and drawings of the source,direction and names of these major rivers in the historical texts and maps of Qing Dynasty.Due to the intentional elevation of the status of Changbai Mountain and Songhua River by the Qing Dynasty,most people believed that Changbai Mountain was the main source of the Songhua River,and that Heilongjiang River was a tributary of the Songhua River.This limited understanding led to a relatively chaotic and non-standard state of the names of the main and tributaries of the Songhua River in the Qing Dynasty.A systematic analysis of historical texts and maps from the Qing Dynasty indicates that the Qing Dynasty's perception of the Songhua River,Heilongjiang River,and Huntong River can be categorized into three distinct systems.The first was that the upper reaches of the Songhua River,which originated from Changbai Mountain,could be called"Huntong River".The second was that after the Nenjiang River joined,the main stream of the Songhua River was called"Huntong River".The third was the section of the Songhua River that flowed into the sea after receiving the Nenjiang River,Heilongjiang River and Wusuli River,also known as the"Huntong River".The systematic review of the actual cognitive situation of the Qing Dynasty towards major rivers such as the Huntong River is of great significance for the study of historical geography,border geography and human-land relations in the Qing Dynasty.
