Historical Significance
The ancient Guiliu Canal (Xiangsidi Canal), dating back over 1,300 years to 692 AD, is a marvel of hydraulic engineering. Constructed under the "ThreeStar Auspice" philosophy endorsed by Empress Wu Zetian, it begins at Fenshui Pond and stretches 15 kilometers, linking the Li River and Liu River systems. The canal features 24 sluice gates (e.g., Nihu Sluice, Mopan Sluice) and 11 stone bridges (including preserved structures like Xin Bridge, Huixian High Bridge, and Longmen Bridge). Historically documented as the "Dou River" in *Annals of Lingui County*, it was celebrated alongside the Lingqu Canal as "the Lingqu in the north, the Dou River in the south."
