Introduction to Qianhu

Wuhan is the ancient cloud Mengze area, the center of Jianghan Plain, where there are many lakes, which can be called "the hometown of thousands of lakes". Some of the lakes in the urban area have been annihilated and only place names are left. Some lakes are shrinking, and some are gradually filling up into small lakes. Some of the suburban lakes are famous scenic spots and some are important breeding bases. In addition to farming and irrigation, some lakes in suburban counties are still playing the role of water transportation lines.

Historical story

In Wuchang City, the original nine lakes. To the south of Sheshan, there are a group of lakes in the East and west of Changjie (now Jiefang Road). There is Linghu lake near the people's cinema on the west side of the street. Its original name is Ninghu lake. It is also called Mingyue lake. It is the outer lake of the old Lianghu Academy. Today Huadi street is the water retaining dike of Linghu lake. It flows out of the river between Pinghu Lake at the north end of the dike. It is connected with Dusi Lake in the South and West Lake in the East. The inner lake of Lianghu academy is Dusi lake. Along the lake, there were water pavilions, pavilions and promenades. The scenery is quiet and pleasant. Now Wuhan Conservatory of music is its former site.

To the east of the street are the West Lake and the Gedi lake. The original garden on the lake, green willows into shade, is suitable for recuperation, the site is now in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hubei Medical College. Gedi Lake (a name of East Lake), the reed film in the lake can be used as flute spring, so it is named, but the local people call it Guodi lake with homonym. The lake is located between Shuilu street and Ziyang road. Only the name of gedihu street and lane remains. Ziyang lake, also known as Ziyang Lake in the East, is the largest existing Lake in today's Ziyang park. It is said that there used to be a Dunzi Lake in the lake, which could not be submerged by rising water, so it is also called Dunzi lake. There are dikes in the lake, east-west direction, Ziyang bridge in the lake, lotus in full bloom in summer, which can be used as a tourist attraction. In the early Qing Dynasty, Gao Shitai, the supervisor of the school, changed his name to Yaxiang lake because he Fengsheng died in the Ming Dynasty. The long and narrow part of Ziyang Lake in the north of the bridge is called Changhu Lake. Beside Changhu dike and Changhu village, the lake has been buried. In addition, Jiaochang lake, located near xunling of Shuilu street and mosques street, was once the place where Kabuki were concentrated in the palace of the king of Chu in the Ming Dynasty. All these lakes used to be linked together, called Nanhu. Today, the streets separating the lakes are all the former dikes. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Mu said in Fang Yu Ji Sheng: "the South Lake is connected with the river, the dikes are limited, the long streets run through it, and the residents on all sides are attached." "Hubei old news Liyin" records of people in Shu said: in the South Tower of Sheshan, "overlooking the South Lake, the lotus leaves, the bridge in the middle, RI Guangping, there are four rows on it, and there are water pavilions on both sides. According to Huang Tingjian, the valley is full of lotus fragrance and Weinan lake. With the expansion of the old Wuchang City from the north of Sheshan mountain to the south of Shannan mountain, the ancient South Lake has been included in the city. Now the South Lake refers to the Chilan Lake outside the city. Besides Nanhu Lake, there is Tangxun Lake. The lake is in the mountains, higher than Nanhu Lake in water level and larger than Nanhu lake.

In the north of Sheshan mountain, there is Sihu, also known as Fanhu and Dufu lake. After the old fanshu, before the Fushu, there was xuewaipan in the county. Dufu dyke is the dyke of the lake, and Wuchang children's Park is one of its former sites. At that time, it was also a lotus Pavilion, where you and Fen attacked people. A small lake to the east of Sihu is called Xichuan lake.

These are the nine lakes in Wuchang in history. In fact, there are several lakes in Wuchang City. There used to be a bend lake between Fuxing Road and martyr street in the north of Ziyang road. To the north of Fenghuang Mountain and to the south of Zhongshan Road, there was Yingshan Lake in the area of Shengqiao and xichenghao street. Outside the Zijin Mountain in the northeast of the old city, there is a small lake. Besides the small lake, there is a large lake called Shahu. Among them, the east part has been silted into farmland, leaving only one Castle Peak port to be accessible. There is shahuzui in the west of the lake, which is now Wuchang workers' Cultural Palace. Wu Huang railway passes through the center of the lake, and there is a long bridge on the dike. Outside the northwest of the old city, there used to be chopsticks lake near chopsticks street, but now it no longer exists.

In the Song Dynasty, there was the East Lake, 5 Li East of the county. There was the East Garden on the lake, which was a scenic spot near the city. This East Lake is suspected to be shaihu (Saihu) to the east of Wuchang railway station. There are many ancient temples around the lake, which is a good scenic spot. Today's East Lake is the general name of Guozheng lake, Guoguo lake, Yujia lake, Tanghu lake and niuchao lake. From Moshan, we can see that there are Yandong lake and Yanxi Lake outside the East Lake, and Beihu lake and Yangchun Lake in the northwest. Further away, there is daijiahu near Qingshan park.

Besides gulangguan lake and today's Lianhua Lake, the most famous lake in Hanyang is Yuehu Lake. The scope of Yuehu Lake originally went from Meizi mountain to the East, and reached the riverside at the northern foot of Guishan mountain. There are three dykes on the moon lake. Yangliu dyke, the most easterly dyke near the river, was built in 1506 (the first year of Zhengde of Ming Dynasty). There is a bridge in it. In 1732 (the tenth year of Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty), Gaogang, the governor of the county, donated it to build it with the help of GaN Changqi, a gentleman. Therefore, it is called Gaogong bridge. It is the main road from Jijiazui to Hanyang city in Hankou. Today, Gaogong street and Qingchuan Street are its former sites. The middle one was built by Guo Chaoxiang, the governor of Hanyang in the Qing Dynasty. It was formerly known as Guogong dyke. There was a stone bridge with three holes in it. At the beginning of liberation, this dyke still existed. It was one of the main passageways for Hanyang people to go to Han and Japan. There is another dike at the west end of Yuehu Lake, called Longdeng dike, which is still in use today. Before the northern foot of Guishan mountain was silted up, it was divided into East and west two moon lakes with Guogong dyke as the boundary. The three dykes lie on the lake. Guishan mountain and Meizi mountain stand out of the lake, with ancient Qintai, Chongfu temple, bell tower, Wenchang Pavilion and other buildings. In the past, people used to call it like the West Lake scenery. In the Qing Dynasty, Shi Xiang wrote a poem named "Hankou Zhuzhi Ci"

Go to boyatai for an outing, and your bow soled shoes will be new.

You can walk ten miles across the Moon Lake embankment and cross the river to Houhu lake.

It can be seen that Yuehu Lake is not only a popular tourist destination for Hanyang people, but also one of Hankou people's favorite tourist destinations. At that time, visitors to guqintai can hire boats to roam. Willows line the Bank of the lake. The lotus flowers in the lake are bright blue and bright red. The ancients summed up the eight scenes of Yuehu Lake, including the ancient cave fairyland, Banqiao Flower Shadow, the bell rhyme of the monk's mansion, the lights of the night market, Liuying Changdi, hefengqushu, Qintai Wanyue, Fansi Zhaohui, etc.

In the southwest suburb of Hanyang City, there are also Machang lake and ink Lake in the area of today's Wuhan Zoo. There are ports leading directly to the lakes in Hanyang County, such as Guanhu lake and daohuan lake. To the south, there is Prince Lake (also known as Jiuzhen Lake), which was named after Prince Liang Zhaoming in the northern and Southern Dynasties. To the west, there is Longyang lake between Tangjiashan and biandanshan. In Hannan District, there are many lakes such as yinlian lake and Chenhu Lake.

There used to be lakes in the northwest of Zhongshan Avenue in Hankou, collectively referred to as "Houhu", including niuhu, Xichang lake, Jingzi lake, shibatang lake, etc. After the completion of zhanggongdi, most of the land was dried up, and the remaining lake remains were mainly scattered along the back of the street and along zhanggongdi. Hou Hu Chuan is the old way of Xiang River (not Han River). It could have come out of the river from Tu Long. In the area of Jianghan Road, you can take a boat to reach Huangpi and Xiaogan through Houhu lake before building embankment. The scenery of Houhu lake is beautiful. Poets call it "Xiaoxiang Lake". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the main playground for Hankou people. At the angle between Jianshe Avenue and Qingnian Road, there are a West Lake and a North Lake. To the south of Jianshe Avenue, there are small lakes such as can lake.

In the northwest of Hankou, there used to be a water area of 400000 mu, which is generally called Dongxi Lake. Among them, there are small lakes, such as Maoer lake and sangtai lake. Now it is basically silted up into fields and turned into farms.

As for the Zhifang Lake in Wuchang County, the Jilong Lake in Hanyang County, the Wuhu Lake in Huangpo County, the Zhangdu Lake in Xinzhou county and more lakes in the suburb of Wuhan, we do not intend to introduce them one by one.
