After Song Dynasty, it was called RI Lake in the South and West Lake in the northwest, also called Jian Lake. It is said that the shape of the West Lake is like the moon, so it is called the moon lake. After years of silting, Lake rihu has not become a small river. It leads to Lake Yuehu in the north and has been filled with flat land.

Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Ningbo has witnessed a large number of clothes and personages, and scholars and scholars have lived on the banks of Yuehu Lake. Since the establishment of Lin'an (Hangzhou) in the Southern Song Dynasty, Mingzhou (Ningbo) has become an important town in the southeast.

It is the most important historical and cultural protection area in Ningbo City, known as "Zou Lu in eastern Zhejiang". The development of Yuehu began in the Tang Dynasty. In the seven years (833) of Taihe County, * the county magistrate Wang Yuanwei built water conservancy projects, "guiding the water of mountains, making weirs and rivers and streams", and draining into cities. By the Song Dynasty, Ningbo had gradually become a prosperous city and an important capital city. Water conservancy in the city had been renovated one after another, leading to the formation of a water network system with Yuehu Lake as the core. "Three rivers, six ponds and one lake live in the city". The existing shuizeting site and Yuehu river course are important witness of this period of history. From 1093 to Shaosheng, Liu Shu and Liu Cheng of Zhizhou dredged Yuehu Lake one after another. They "built a large island by accumulating soil and planted pines and willows all over the island". From then on, Shizhou of Yuehu Lake was formed and flourished.
