ref: 1929, Osvald Sirén, “The Prehistoric and Pre-Han Periods”, in A History of Early Chinese Art, volume 1, London: Ernest Benn, →OCLC, →OL, page 59:
text: The final stage of my trip entailed a thirty-six hour trip up the Huai on a river boat from Peng-pu to the focal point of the 1951 project at Jen Ho Chih where the Huai itself was being dammed up and diverted into natural lake-reservoirs with great dyke walls being built clear across a big lake to prevent it linking up with the Huai and other lakes during flood season. This entailed a major engineering project and would be the key to controlling the most vital section of the Huai Valley. Between Peng-pu and Jen Ho Chih sluice gates were being installed at the mouths of the fish-bone tributaries, where they emptied into the Huai. The tributaries are double dangers. Firstly their discharge swells the flood waters of the Huai and secondly they are weak links in the dyke system through which the swollen Huai waters can rush back over the surrounding countryside. So every tributary between Peng-pu and Jen Ho Chih was being blocked with steel and concrete sluice gates which could be slammed shut when the Huai is in flood and form steel links in the dyke wall. We visited the first of these towards dusk one evening.
