Abstract:Yingwuzhou is the most significant sandbank which belong to Wuhan section of Yangtze River, whose complicated evolution history has great value for study. Apart from profound cultural background, its formation and evolution history are also vital for urban and social development of Wuhan City. Based on large amounts of historical maps and records, the detailed evolution process and causes of the island are analyzed. According to historical emigrant settings, the whole evolution is divided into two stages. The first is the Wuchang Yingwuzhou stage, which can be subdivided into three periods: the relatively stable period (about 198-1458); the unstable period which includes the early state (1459-1467) and later state (1468-1643); and the disappearing period (1644-1732). The following one is the Hanyang Yingwuzhou stage, which contains the reappearing period (1733-1795) and land-forming period (since 1796). Results show that the main channel of Yangtze River has no change since the Holocene. The influence on Wuhan City from Yangtze River is mainly related to its sandbanks and shorelines and the “change” of Yingwuzhou directly promotes the prosperity of Wuchang & Hanyang City. As for reasons of island variation, it's suggested that the joint of Han River and Yangtze River switching from Guishan South to North is another important factor besides river dynamic conditions.
