Historical evolution

Changshou Lake was formed by intercepting Longxi River artificially in 1950s and constructing Shizitan hydropower station, a key water conservancy project during the first five year plan period. In the north of the central part of Chongqing, there is a river winding from north to south, which is Longxi river. Longxi river originates in Liangping County, Chongqing, flows through Liangping, Dianjiang and Changshou, and finally flows into the Yangtze River near yangjiaobao, Changshou District. The whole process is more than 170 kilometers, with a drainage area of 3348 square kilometers and an average flow of 54 cubic meters per second. After Longxi river flows through Shizitan in Changshou District, the river bed falls off cliff, the water flow is steep and there are many dangerous beaches, forming multi-level waterfalls, and the water energy reserves are extremely rich. There are four cascade hydropower stations in the whole Longxi River Basin, with a total installed capacity of 112000 kW. Shizitan hydropower station is the first level hydropower station in the Longxi River Basin. It is one of 156 key construction projects aided by the Soviet Union during the first five year plan period. It is as famous as Fengman Hydropower Station in the north. At that time, it was said that "there is xiaofengman in the north and Shizitan in the South". In the spring of 1954, the state established Shizitan Hydropower Engineering Bureau of the Ministry of electric power industry. On August 1, 1954, the first hoe of earth was excavated for the Shizitan hydropower project, and the foundation was officially laid. The project lasted four years, with a total of 1.89 million cubic meters of earth and stone excavated, more than 360000 cubic meters of concrete poured, and more than 39000 immigrants. In March 1957, Shizitan power station project was completed and put into operation, with a total installed capacity of 48000 kW. Since then, Changshou Lake, the largest man-made lake in Southwest China, has been on display. In Changshou Lake, it recorded the arduous development course of China's hydropower industry, created a precedent of cascade development in the history of China's hydropower industry, trained, trained and transported a large number of construction and management talents for China's hydropower industry, and was known as the cradle of new China's hydropower experts, leaving an immortal brilliant chapter in the history of China's hydropower industry. At the beginning of the last century, Liu Bocheng, the marshal of the Republic of China, was wounded by Changshou Lake after the bloody battle in Fengdu. After liberation, the party and state leaders Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Li Fuchun and Li Xiannian left their footprints here. Changshou Lake formed a red culture in the form of water conservancy.

They inspected the construction site, walked into the lake area, entered the factory building, entered the dormitory, and walked all over the Longxi river. When they finished their inspection and came to the guest house for foreign guests (today's Lion Rock Resort), after lunch, the comrades of the power station asked Premier Zhou and two vice premiers to write inscriptions as a memento. Premier Zhou and two vice premiers happily wrote and left a glorious inscription. To commemorate Premier Zhou Enlai, Vice Premier Li Fuchun and Vice Premier Li Xiannian's inspection of Shizitan and Changshou Lake and their inscriptions, the Shizitan power station built a memorial Pavilion for Premier Zhou Enlai in Changshou Lake, the Red Star Pavilion.
