It is 480 meters long from east to west and 185 meters wide from north to south, with a total area of 133 mu, including 41 mu of lake water. The whole terrain is high in the West and low in the East, and the south slope is flat in the north. Each lake has diving and flooding, so there are hundreds of springs. Among them, the West Lake is 1.5 meters deep, and the East Lake is 2-3 meters deep.

About the park

Liuhu lake was first built in 1068, the first year of Shenxi reign of Song Dynasty. Cai Ting, the then governor of Weizhou, led the spring to form a lake, planted flowers and willows, and built Summer Pavilion and Liuhu Pavilion. It has a history of more than 900 years. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Han panzhao occupied the garden, and Zhu houzhao of the Ming and Song Dynasties granted the "Chongwen academy" to the children of the royal family. King Zhao built the city with thousands of gold and made large-scale expansion. After the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was repaired many times, including "shenliu study hall", "Wenlan bridge" and "yangzhengxuan". It has been renamed as "Baiquan academy" and "Gaoshan academy". In the early years of Tongzhi, Liuhu was destroyed by war. In 1873, Zuo Zongtang, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, stationed in Pingliang and restored it again. He named it Liuhu academy and wrote the plaque of "Liuhu" in person. He wrote "Ode to the warm spring", that is, "rebuilding the stele of the warm spring in Pingliang". In 1926, Liuhu Academy was changed into the seventh Normal School of Gansu Province. After liberation, they continued to work one after another

It was occupied by some schools and units. After 1977, the units moved out, restored the park, increased its old system and added new scenery. It was officially opened on May 1, 1979.

In the northern suburb of Pingliang City. In the reign of emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Cai Ting knew that Weizhou "led warm springs to the lake, planted willows around the lake, and built summer pavilions in it, which was the origin of Liuhu.". During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, King Zhao of Han Fan occupied the garden and built more than ten pavilions. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (1736-1795), Baiquan Academy was established and later changed to Gaoshan Academy. Stone bridge archways and North-South academic buildings were added. In 1871, it was destroyed by war. In 1871, Zuo Zongtang, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, restored it and renamed it "Liuhu academy". In 1958, it was turned into a park, with newly built hurdle gate, water spraying flower bed, painted wooden archway, children's playground and several ancient monuments in the park. Entering the garden is like entering the realm of poetry and painting with beautiful spirit and verdant green elegance. The best time is in March of spring, when catkins are like snow, rising with the wind

It's a wonderful place for tourists to be covered in the gauze like smoke and fog. This is the name of Liuhu Qingxue, one of the eight scenic spots in Pingliang in the past.

Eight scenes of Liuhu Lake

Enjoy the snow in Guanlan

Enjoying the snow in Guanlan is one of the beautiful winter scenery of Liuhu lake.

Guanlan Pavilion, located in the middle of the lake, is a palace building. Zhao Shichun, one of the eight gifted scholars of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, was once a guest of Han's mansion after he was demoted to Pingliang, an ancient book. He often talked with Han about the past and the present, recited poems and wrote Fu. He wrote a poem "watching lotus on Liuhu Lake" like this:

Emperor sun Tai Xie pillow side of the city, inviting guests to reopen Jinxiu banquet. flower

The bottom fish swim in the green barrier, the Willow Pond cloud embraces the blue lotus sky.

Qingbo sway out with the wind, Jiangdian Ping Lin on the sun fresh.

If you roam along the stone steps, you will find willows, lakes, flower beds, pavilions, rowing boats and so on. In late spring, willow catkins are light and full of willows in the lake.

In winter, the waves are clear and the springs are warm.

In the past, the vassal was the mansion, but now the public can have leisure.

Add new scenery in a harmonious and prosperous age, and the famous garden of Guanlong shows its beauty.

In 1934, Chen gengya, a famous reporter of Shanghai Shenbao, once made a one-year investigation to the northwest, during which he wrote brilliant works

"Northwest inspection" has been serially published in many major newspapers and periodicals throughout the country, which has caused a sensation for its keen feelers and vivid realism. He also came to Pingliang for an interview and wrote the article "Pingliang in the first city of East Gansu", which describes the economy, people's livelihood and scenery education of Pingliang at that time. He also wrote about Liuhu, which is short but worth remembering. He wrote as follows:

Pingliang scenery has Liuhu Park, Kongtong mountain, Longwang Temple (should be Longyin Temple), etc. Liuhu is at the foot of the north city. It used to be Liuhu Academy. Now it is the school building of the seventh division (Pingliang Normal University). See the couplet "Liuhu" on the front of the gate of the garden (that is, the gate of the school). On the right side of the couplet, it says: "Liubian people rest", and on the left side, it says: "spring comes on the lake". At the beginning, you can see the overhang of Liuhu academy, which was originally written by Zuo Zongtang. There are Hanxu hall, Yueyu Pavilion, etc. in the garden, you can have a rest. The scenery is beautiful, and the lake is beautiful with willow color. In front of the garden, there is a spring gurgling out from the ground, with green leaves growing in the middle. It looks like plantain grass. It floats according to the current, with the same color of winter and summer.

This passage is probably the first report about Pingliang Liuhu published in a large newspaper in China. It has been more than 70 years since then. seven

Although the Liuhu lake more than ten years ago is different from the Liuhu Lake today, there are still two aspects of its original style. These two major styles are "liuse lake light" and "Zidi lake light" mentioned by Mr. Chen gengya

The spring of "gurgling out".

In the early 1950s, I graduated from primary school and was admitted to Pingliang Normal University after registration examination. Because Pingliang normal school is located in Liuhu, it has a close relationship with Liuhu.

I still remember when I went to school in Liuhu lake, the middle of the lake was covered with reeds more than one person tall. In summer, in addition to the sound of frogs singing day and night in reed marshes, there is also a kind of gray water duck, flapping its young wings and flying around on the water. Among the reeds, in the crevice of the reed leaves, there grows a kind of red fluffy fruit, which is a long round ball with only a dark red tip. It swings on the reed with the wind, and we call it "Mullah bamboo". "Mullah bamboo" is the best medicine for knife wound and the material for filling pillow core. It is very effective to apply it to the wound to stop bleeding. It is easy to fall asleep and wake up. Every summer, students take off their coats, arm in arm, and go to the lake to pick them up. At this time, there will always be eels shaking their heads and tails in the reeds. People who don't know eels mistakenly think they are water snakes, so they scream and run around, splashing water in their eyes. There is an expert who knows eel, that is music teacher Hong yunchan. He stood on the bank, calm command, "don't be afraid, it's not a snake, it's an eel. All around, get it! Get it No matter how smooth the eel's body is, it can't escape from the crowd. Eel caught, it is more than two feet long, like a garden stem coated with a layer of grease. Mr. Hong has a way. He uses two pins to straighten the eel and nail it on a small board. He uses a shaving blade to cut the eel. Seeing this, the headmaster Tai and Zhong are extremely opposed to it because he teaches biology and is an animal protectionist

He criticized teacher Hong for "killing and killing". But Mr. Hong was a gourmet in less than an hour,

He came out with a dish of "braised eel" at home and asked us to taste it with chopsticks. No one in Pingliang has ever eaten eel

Shaking his head back, someone came forward to study, I summoned the courage to take a bite, really delicious.

When I was studying in Liuhu, what I remember most is not only teacher Hong's "braised eel", but also my body

Liu Renxuan's cold bath in winter.

In winter, students will get up at six in the morning for morning exercises,
