At the end of the spring and Autumn period, Zhibo, the Prime Minister of the state of Jin, dug this canal in order to capture Zhao Xiangzi's land and irrigate Jinyang with Fenshui and Jinshui.

Zhao Xiangzi entered Jinyang city. Zhi Bo United with Han and Wei to attack Zhao. He built a weir on the water of Jin to irrigate the city. Because the city defense was strong, he failed to break it. Later, people took advantage of the projects built during the water attack to reorganize the channels and form a water diversion system with dam for water supply to Jinyang city. The original weir downstream channel becomes the discharge channel of excess water. In the Tang Dynasty, Jinyang city had three cities: East, middle and West. The east city was on the East Bank of Fenshui, and the city crossed Fenshui, with a population of several hundred thousand. During the reign of Zhenguan (627-649), a large aqueduct across Fenshui River was built to "divert Jinshui River into Dongcheng city to feed the people". In Song Dynasty, the rice fields were filled with regret, and many hydraulic mills were built. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, four main canals were built, namely the North Canal, the middle canal, the south canal and the Lubu canal, and there was a separate irrigation system.
