development history

In 1932, after acquiring the Manchurian Railway Affiliated Land in Changchun, the Japanese invading army found that the Fengshijun government at that time had a tight control over the water source in Changchun, which made the water source of the Manchurian Railway Affiliated Land very tense. After the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, the Puppet Manchukuo Capital Construction Bureau, assisted by the "Manchu Railway", immediately investigated the water sources in Changchun and found deep groundwater about 100 meters underground.

The hilly terrain below Xinli City and the largest river in the region is Yitong River. There are no mountains and reservoirs on both sides of the Yitong River. All the tributaries suffer from narrow and shallow conditions. Only the rivers along the Zihe River do not dry up all the year round. In 1934, after comparing water quality, water quantity and cost, the Puppet State Capital Construction Bureau finally decided to build a dam at a place called Yao Station 12 kilometers southeast of Changchun to intercept the water along the Zihe River.

In May 1934, the water storage project was started and water supply began in January 1936. The daily water supply capacity of this reservoir is 40,000 cubic meters, which exceeds the water purification capacity of Nanling Water Purification Plant by 20,000 cubic meters. The 4.6-square-kilometer reservoir was later named "Jingyuetan".

Her seventh daughter, the Seven Fairies, saw a young man carrying a broken umbrella and wiping tears as she walked. She became a village maid and they loved to live together at first sight. The Queen Mother was very angry when she learned about this. She decided to send Tianbing Tianjun to capture the seven fairies. On that day, the sky suddenly overcast, and a strong wind blew the seven fairies into the sky. Looking at the hut where she and her lover lived, the seven fairies could not help falling two lines of tears, one drop in the south, into Taiwan's Sun Moon Lake, one drop in the north, into Changchun's Jingyue Lake.

However, due to the small amount of rivers along the sub-rivers, the water supply of the Puppet State Capital is urgent in five years. The backup water source of Huanglong Park Reservoir (intercepting three runoffs in the upper reaches of Xihegou, the tributary of Yitong River, and the Nanhu Lake in Changchun nowadays) can only be used. In the last two years of the Puppet State Capital, the Yitong River water intercepted by Xiaobanqiao sluice of Nanling Waterworks has been used as the In 1958, with the completion of Xinlicheng Reservoir, the Yitong River began to supply water to Nanling Waterworks after regulating the flow of the Reservoir, and Jingyuetan was changed to the reserve water source of Changchun City.
