Development history

Since Tang Dynasty, Jiangxi East Lake has been a famous scenic lake. After the Ming Dynasty, it was divided into four lakes, connected by bridges and culverts. There are three small islands in the East Lake, commonly known as Sanzhou or BaiHuaZhou. There are Jiuqu bridge, Baihua bridge and Haicheng dyke across the lake and across the island. On the island, there are famous relics such as Shuimu Qinghua Pavilion, Zhongshan Pavilion, BaiHuaZhou Pavilion, SuPu and cultural relics square.

Since ancient times, literati are indispensable in beautiful places. There are many works of celebrities reciting East Lake BaiHuaZhou. Such as Li Shen, Du Mu, Huang Tingjian, Xin Qiji, Chen Yunhe. Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tianxiang and other ancient celebrities have left poems praising BaiHuaZhou. In the southern and Northern Dynasties, Lei Tzong once wrote in Yuzhang Ji: "the East Lake, the east of the county and the city, the ten miles of Zhouhui, is connected with the river." In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Dan organized migrant workers to build dykes and plant willows in the East Lake of Nanchang, which was also known as Weigong dyke or Wanliu dyke.

At that time, BaiHuaZhou, the island by the East Lake of Nanchang, was named because of the exotic flowers and plants growing all over the island. In the Tang Dynasty, there were a hundred flowers blooming on the island, the East Lake was full of water and lotus, and there were thousands of willows on the levee. Li Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising: "after singing the Lingge, the boat comes back, and the snow heron and silver gull come around. The clouds and brocade are cut off by Xiasan and Pubian, and the moon rises and the mirror waves open on the lake. The fish is startled by the emerald feathers and the golden scales, and the lotus is torn away by the purple clothes. Huaikou value spring partial melancholy hope, a few Linshui is the plum Ouyang Xiu, one of the eight famous writers in Tang and Song Dynasties, once wrote a poem of five unique characteristics: "reward the sage Yu BaiHuaZhou". Xiang Zili, a poet of the Song Dynasty, also has the sentence of "hundred flowers are in full bloom" in his poem "butterfly loves flowers".

By the song and Ming Dynasties, it was even more famous. At that time, there were more than ten pavilions on the island, and the scenery of Huguang island was picturesque. Su Yunqing, a hermit of Song Dynasty, once planted vegetables in the garden of Baihua Dongzhou, which is called Su wengpu by later generations. Among the ten famous sceneries in Yuzhang, there are two sceneries in BaiHuaZhou, namely "the moon on the East Lake" and "the spring vegetables in the Su garden". In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Cheng, the governor of Yuzhang, built a "lecture hall" on BaiHuaZhou to exercise the water army. Kuang Zhining wrote in a poem: "in front of the Wuting Pavilion, the water flows everywhere, bees and butterflies swim all over Fangzhou, the westerly warship knows where to go, and wins the twilight with white gulls". It can be seen that bees and butterflies fly on BaiHuaZhou at that time, and the flowers and plants are flourishing. Tang Xianzu, a dramatist of the Ming Dynasty, once visited the lake and wrote a poem: "beautiful Nanzhou, beautiful forest and beautiful bamboo. The prime minister and Marquis gathered to visit the lake. It's a beautiful Spring Festival and the color of the lake. It's an apricot blossom building."

The decline of BaiHuaZhou should be after Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it became the location of Gongyuan, and the ruins of the original ancient buildings gradually disappeared. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Peng Jiaping, the governor of Jiangxi Province, wrote "BaiHuaZhou", which was engraved as a stone tablet.

In 1926, Chiang Kai Shek lived in the city and directed the Northern Expedition and the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army. In 1932, it was turned into a Lakeside Park. In 1939, the Japanese bombed the BaiHuaZhou area. In 1945, the central bank near BaiHuaZhou held the surrender ceremony of the KMT's ninth war zone to Japan. It was renamed Jieshi Park in April 1946. In July 1950, it was renamed Bayi park. Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, the people's government has planted trees, built embankments, dredged lake mud, built pavilions and curved bridges, and made it a resting place for the people.
