韩江,广东第二大河流,流域包括广东、福建两省二千多万人口。但是,对于韩江名称、源头、长度以及流域面积等的记述,有关志书、辞书说法不一。作为较具权威的《潮州市志》、《潮州市水利志》与《辞海》,其说法既不一致,也同样都不见得准确,使读者难信谁是谁非,无可适从。现摘录如次,对照分析,考证辨正,以求能得到较正确的答案。 Han River, the second largest river in Guangdong, which includes more than 20 million people in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. However, the description of Hanjiang name, source, length and catchment area, etc., vary from one source to another. As the more authoritative “Chaozhou City,” “Chaozhou City Water Conservancy” and “Cihai”, the argument is neither consistent nor equally accurate, so that readers who can not believe who is right or wrong, there is no solution. Now excerpts from time to time, control analysis, research verification, in order to be able to get a more correct answer.
