During the Warring States period, Sichuan was frequently ravaged by floods from the Minjiang River, causing immense suffering to the people. The King of Qin appointed Li Bing to Sichuan to eradicate this persistent problem. After a thorough investigation, Li Bing decided to adopt a dredging strategy, implementing two key measures: first, excavating the Yulei Mountain to create the "Baopingkou" (Bottle-Neck Pass); and second, constructing a diversion weir (commonly known as the "Fish Mouth Diversion Weir") to regulate the flow. These two measures effectively alleviated the pressure of flooding and greatly improved local productivity. Although Li Bing unfortunately succumbed to exhaustion and died, his achievements are forever etched in history, and he is deeply loved by the people. This book uses illustrations and text to provide readers with a deeper understanding of Li Bing and his flood control projects.

战国时期的四川频遭岷江水患侵袭,民不聊生。秦王委派李冰赴蜀任职,旨在根除这一顽疾。经详细勘察后,李冰决定采取疏导策略,先后实施两项关键措施:一是开凿玉垒山形成“宝瓶口”,二是建设分水堰(俗称“分水鱼嘴”)调节流量,这两项举措有效缓解了水患压力,极大提升了当地生产力水平。虽然李冰不幸累垮身体逝世,但其所建功勋永垂青史,深受人民爱戴。书中用图文的形式让读者深入了解李冰以及治理水患工程。
