明代中后期开凿泇河的主要目的是为了避开徐州黄河险段以及黄患对运道的威胁。泇河的开凿带来了运道的东移,给徐州城市的发展造成了巨大的消极影响,泇河开凿后的徐州地方经济经历了明显的衰落。泇河的开凿在导致徐州地方经济衰落的同时,也给台儿庄和窑湾等新运道沿线城镇的发展带来了重要的历史机遇。 The main purpose of cutting the river in the mid and late Ming Dynasty was to avoid the dangerous section of Xuzhou Yellow River and the threat of yellow road to Yun Road. The excavation of the Bahe River brought the eastward movement of the Huidao River and caused a huge negative impact on the development of the city of Xuzhou. The Xuzhou local economy after the Bahe River had been cut had experienced a marked decline. The excavation of Bahe River led to the local economic decline in Xuzhou and brought important historical opportunities to the development of towns and cities along the Xinyun Road such as Taierzhuang and Yaowan.
