history

Huizhou West Lake covers a vast area, with winding shores, dotted with islets and surrounded by green hills on three sides. The widest part of the lake is 4 km from east to west and 6 km from north to south. The largest area is 10 square kilometers, and the lake area is about 80 square kilometers. On the vast surface of Yanbo lake, dikes and bridges divide the lake into five parts, known as "five lakes and six bridges". Su Dongpo, a great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, praised Huizhou for its "beautiful landscape". It is a famous scenic spot and tourist attraction in Guangdong.

According to Zhang Youren's Huizhou West Lake records, "in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were wolves and tigers living on the lake, so there was no lake." At that time. The lake area is probably a grassy depression with wolf tigers. However, by the time of the Yuan emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 318 ad, "Longxing Temple was built on the lake" (records of Huizhou prefecture), it can be seen that the lake had been formed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Kaiyuan Temple was built in Huizhou. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Yu Jing's Kaiyuan Temple records describes the scenery in this area: "heavy mountains and complex mountains, hidden rock valleys, long streams with banners, and lake light". It can be inferred from these historical records that Huizhou West Lake was formed in the period after the Eastern Han Dynasty and before the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The construction of Huizhou West Lake began in the Northern Song Dynasty. Chen Cheng, the governor of the state, was the first to manage the West Lake. He "led the lake to irrigate the fields and benefited from fish, lotus root, cattail and reed", which made the West Lake "rich to the people" and was called Fenghu. At the same time, he also built dikes, bridges, pavilions and pavilions on the lake, which made Fenghu known as the "victory of Guangdong" at that time. Su Dongpo, a great scholar of literature, was relegated to Huizhou in the first year of Shaosheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1094 AD). He called Fenghu the West Lake. On the one hand, the lake is located in the west of the city; on the other hand, the scenery of this lake in Huizhou is as beautiful as the West Lake in Hangzhou. Since Su Dongpo, Huizhou West Lake has been opened.

Dai Xi, an artist in the Qing Dynasty, called Huizhou West Lake "the West Lake has its own beauty, which is won by twists and turns." It's a proper evaluation. In addition, Wu Qian, the governor of Huizhou in the Qing Dynasty, also wrote the poem "Huiyang Jisheng", which makes a comparison between Hangzhou West Lake and Huizhou West Lake: "Hangzhou's beauty is exquisite, but Hui's beauty is broad and Miao ' The West Lake in Huizhou is compared to the Xishi in Zhuluo village before entering the Wu palace, which shows the characteristic of the West Lake in Huizhou: natural beauty.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a saying of "five lakes, six bridges and eight sceneries" in Huizhou West Lake. The five lakes are Pinghu Lake, Fenghu lake, Nanhu Lake, crocodile lake and Linghu lake. In the 1990s, the government linked up the Honghua lake with the five lakes to form a whole, which was called the six lakes. The ancient six bridges are Xixin bridge, Gongbei bridge, Yuantong bridge, Mingsheng bridge, Yanxia bridge and Yingxian bridge. Before and after the founding of new China, many landscape bridges were built, among which Jiuqu bridge, Pipa bridge and Huazhou bridge embellish the West Lake with their new features, and together with the ancient six bridges, they are called the contemporary nine bridges of the West Lake. The eight sceneries are the predecessors' induction and expression of the local human geography: "Fenghu evening singing, radius qiaogui, mountain temple Lanyan, water curtain waterfall, Lipu Fengqing, Taoyuan day warm, Hefeng back" "Xiehui of wild goose pagoda" is called the ancient eight sceneries. There are natural landscape and cultural landscape. With the change of time, the construction of the West Lake has been improved. Later, there are "Twelve sceneries", "Sixteen sceneries" and "twenty-four sceneries". There are 28 scenic spots, including 18 famous sceneries. Today, the West Lake in Huizhou is known as "six lakes, nine bridges and eighteen sceneries".
