我也忘了在哪個時候，讀過新汶礦區走出的一個作家莊旭清寫過的一篇叫《奶奶的河》的小說，才對柴汶河有所了解，才知道它是山東省泰安市大汶河的支流，大汶河，古稱汶水，大汶河是黃河在山東的唯一支流，也是泰安市最大的河流。
就在一個晚春的早晨，沐浴著礦區淡淡的晨曦，漫步在柴汶河畔，看著靜靜向西流淌的柴汶河，逝者如斯夫的感覺油然而生。大多數河流都是自西向東，然而柴汶河卻借地勢自東向西，她的主流大汶河是山東省內最大的倒流河，發源于號稱沂蒙七十二崮之首的旋崮山北麓，上游稱牟汶河，匯泰山山脈、蒙山支脈諸水，流經新泰、萊蕪至泰安大汶口納柴汶河后稱大汶(wen)河，大汶(wen)河注(zhu)入東平湖，匯進黃河，奔向黃海的懷抱(bao)。
一(yi)(yi)條河流沖積成了一(yi)(yi)段(duan)谷(gu)(gu)地，柴汶(wen)河谷(gu)(gu)北(bei)依泰山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)余脈(mo)(mo)蓮花(hua)山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)脈(mo)(mo)，東靠沂蒙山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)脈(mo)(mo)，南面(mian)逶迤著(zhu)黃山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)、云山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)、峙山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)（現在叫(jiao)寺山(shan)(shan)(shan)(shan)）等，形成一(yi)(yi)段(duan)沸(fei)騰(teng)的(de)(de)谷(gu)(gu)地，從東面(mian)的(de)(de)新(xin)泰市(shi)汶(wen)南鎮(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)、東都鎮(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)、到(dao)新(xin)汶(wen)辦事(shi)處、小協(xie)鎮(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)、谷(gu)(gu)里鎮(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)、禹村鎮(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)(zhen)，甚至一(yi)(yi)直到(dao)寧陽(yang)的(de)(de)華豐(feng)和磁窯，這段(duan)河谷(gu)(gu)全因煤而(er)生(sheng)，因煤而(er)興，各地人口也因煤而(er)聚。
這段河谷里因煤而生得一座城市就是新汶。1945年7月，國民革命軍第八路軍接收"日本三菱公司張莊煤礦"時，取"新泰"之"新"與"柴汶河"之"汶"命名為"新汶煤礦"，后作區劃名稱的依據。1947年成為新泰縣孫村區孫村鎮。1954年成為新泰縣第八區。1955年改為孫村鎮。1958年改為孫村公社。1959年9月，國務院批準由原新泰縣的孫村人民公社全部和汶南、城關、宮里3個人民公社的一部分地區劃出，設立新汶市，隸屬省會濟南市管轄；成為新中國建國后最早的省轄縣級市之一。1983年10月新泰縣、新汶市合并組建新泰市后，仍(reng)為孫(sun)村公(gong)社。1984年改為新(xin)汶辦事處，轄孫(sun)村鎮(zhen)、小協鎮(zhen)、東(dong)(dong)都(dou)鎮(zhen)。1985年小協鎮(zhen)、東(dong)(dong)都(dou)鎮(zhen)劃分出。
新(xin)(xin)(xin)汶的(de)發展歷史離不開(kai)一個企(qi)業，就(jiu)是(shi)新(xin)(xin)(xin)礦(kuang)集團。早在1956年(nian)就(jiu)成立(li)了新(xin)(xin)(xin)汶礦(kuang)務局，新(xin)(xin)(xin)中(zhong)(zhong)國建立(li)后幾十年(nian)中(zhong)(zhong)，這里(li)都(dou)是(shi)全國煤(mei)炭產量最大的(de)城市之(zhi)一；所產煤(mei)也(ye)是(shi)世界上質量最好的(de)品種，被稱作“新(xin)(xin)(xin)煤(mei)一號（肥煤(mei)）”，是(shi)冶煉最佳燃料。1998年(nian)改(gai)制為新(xin)(xin)(xin)汶礦(kuang)業集團有限責任公司，2011年(nian)3月整(zheng)合入山東(dong)能源集團公司。
七(qi)(qi)十年代以前的(de)人們(men)都對新汶有著深(shen)刻的(de)記憶，“七(qi)(qi)十（其實）一(yi)(yi)條馬路、九十（就(jiu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)）一(yi)(yi)條街”的(de)民(min)謠(yao)就(jiu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)自(zi)上世紀(ji)50年代以來這個城鎮建(jian)(jian)設的(de)真實寫(xie)照。小新街是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)新汶的(de)中心，路西是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)蔬菜水果店和百貨，東面是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)個體商店，全是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)平屋，南山還有一(yi)(yi)個國營商店和糧店，整個新汶城區(qu)就(jiu)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)孫(sun)村礦的(de)老(lao)俱樂部和毛(mao)主(zhu)席塑像是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)地標性(xing)建(jian)(jian)筑。
但計劃(hua)(hua)經濟年代“重生(sheng)產、輕生(sheng)活(huo)”，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)一直(zhi)沒有大(da)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)改善(shan)。1995年10月1日蒙館路(lu)新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)段全長14公(gong)里通車，徹底改善(shan)了新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)道路(lu)面(mian)貌，之后新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)大(da)街維(wei)修，新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)建(jian)(jian)(jian)二(er)路(lu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)都(dou)路(lu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)建(jian)(jian)(jian)成(cheng)(cheng)通車，新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)面(mian)貌雛形形成(cheng)(cheng)，2012年4月26日，全國煤(mei)礦矸(gan)石充(chong)填開(kai)采(cai)現(xian)(xian)場(chang)會召(zhao)開(kai)之后，新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)華源、孫村、良莊、翟(zhai)鎮礦、協莊礦的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)地面(mian)矸(gan)石山將(jiang)在五年之內(nei)在柴(chai)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)河(he)畔消(xiao)失，柴(chai)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)河(he)兩邊會綠(lv)化(hua)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)更(geng)(geng)好，建(jian)(jian)(jian)成(cheng)(cheng)沿河(he)公(gong)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)，柴(chai)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)河(he)沿河(he)風景規(gui)劃(hua)(hua)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)會變(bian)成(cheng)(cheng)現(xian)(xian)實，地方政府將(jiang)把新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)成(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)省(sheng)內(nei)最美(mei)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)煤(mei)礦城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)市，新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)大(da)街、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)建(jian)(jian)(jian)二(er)路(lu)、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)都(dou)路(lu)和以后規(gui)劃(hua)(hua)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)柴(chai)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)河(he)沿河(he)公(gong)路(lu)四條主要道路(lu)東西(xi)(xi)橫貫新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)，隨(sui)著新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)辦事處(chu)中(zhong)心(xin)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)花(hua)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)開(kai)工(gong)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)，華新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)世(shi)紀城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)開(kai)發以及(ji)煤(mei)礦企業棚戶區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)改造(zao)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)實施，新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)將(jiang)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)龍柏(bo)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)、八一花(hua)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)礦集(ji)團(tuan)文體中(zhong)心(xin)、柴(chai)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)河(he)沿河(he)公(gong)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)森(sen)林公(gong)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)等(deng)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)林、花(hua)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)、文體活(huo)動中(zhong)心(xin)，成(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)居(ju)(ju)民的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)休閑(xian)好去(qu)處(chu)。已(yi)經完成(cheng)(cheng)或正在規(gui)劃(hua)(hua)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)龍柏(bo)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)二(er)期(qi)三期(qi)居(ju)(ju)民小區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)、中(zhong)心(xin)花(hua)園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)、桃園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)小區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)、黃山新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)、華新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)世(shi)紀城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)礦佳苑、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)銘座等(deng)別(bie)墅型(xing)居(ju)(ju)民小區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)，必(bi)將(jiang)成(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)廣大(da)居(ju)(ju)民的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)廣廈千萬間。新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)建(jian)(jian)(jian)二(er)路(lu)和新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)都(dou)路(lu)之間、新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)都(dou)路(lu)和京滬高速泰新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)段之間將(jiang)建(jian)(jian)(jian)設(she)(she)(she)(she)以特變(bian)電工(gong)、良達工(gong)業園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)、西(xi)(xi)都(dou)山能(neng)機械千畝工(gong)業園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)設(she)(she)(she)(she)備機械制造(zao)、化(hua)工(gong)、熱電等(deng)工(gong)業項目園(yuan)(yuan)(yuan)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)，成(cheng)(cheng)為(wei)新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)工(gong)業發展的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)支柱(zhu)新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)GDP增長點，新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)在新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)礦集(ji)團(tuan)老(lao)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)煤(mei)炭資源枯竭后，依托省(sheng)外新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)區(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)(qu)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)煤(mei)炭生(sheng)產主業，使新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)汶(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)(wen)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)市成(cheng)(cheng)功轉型(xing)到新(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)的(de)(de)(de)(de)(de)工(
