Analysis:
The origin of Xianghu Lake
Xianghu Lake is known as the "sister lake" of the West Lake, and it is also the dream of Xiaoshan people for hundreds of years. With the development of economy and society, the protection and development of Xianghu Lake has been listed as a livelihood project and practical project by the district committee and government, and Xiaoshan people are beginning to realize this dream. In the future, Xianghu Lake will face the West Lake across the river, south and north, singing the story of Xixiang, which will also provide a strong impetus for the sustainable development of Xiaoshan.
Today, we review the history of Xianghu Lake. As a silent mother, she witnessed the development of Xiaoshan.
Great changes in the ocean
Xianghu Lake is located in the south bank of Qiantang River, southwest of Xiaoshan City, with a history of more than 8,000 years, which can be confirmed by canoeing through the ruins of Qiao Hu. During this period, under the influence of natural and human factors, Xianghu experienced great changes in oceans, lakes, swamps or fields.
In ancient times, Hu Xiang was once a part of the East China Sea Bay. The climate changes from cold to warm, glaciers and tides frequently act, and Xianghu Lake becomes an alternate zone between land and sea.
About 8,000 years ago, the sea retreated to land, and Chinese ancestors thrived on this natural "lake". About 6000-7000 years ago, transgression struck again, and it became a shallow sea again. Since then, the sea has receded, and the sea level has dropped. The Hu Xiang area between the north and south mountains has become the channel of Qiantang River.
Vietnam military port
During the Spring and Autumn Period 2,500 years ago, the area around Xianghu Lake was a military stronghold for wuyue's hegemony. Xianghu Lake and Baima Lake are the military ports of Yue State-Guling Port. The navy of the state of Yue was stationed here, and many water military operations of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, started from here. Xianghu Lake became an important battlefield for wuyue's confrontation, leaving behind historical stories such as "feeding fish to repel the enemy" and "serving the salary and tasting courage". The earliest local chronicles in China, Yuejueshu, once recorded: "Those who went to the city on Huiji Mountain (now Yuewangcheng Mountain) were defeated and lived there. Because the following is the target (wood) fish pond, its profit is not rented. " Gou Jian told Zi Gong, a student of Confucius, about his "going up Huiji Mountain and going down to the sea, only seeing fish and turtles". Yuejueshu vividly named the area under Huiji Mountain surrounded by water with no water in the middle (hollowed out) as "wooden fish pond", and Gou Jian called the vast water area under Huiji Mountain as "narrow sea", which was the earliest record of the waters of Xianghu Lake.
Embankment into the lake
Xiaoshan is located in Zeguo, a water town, with low terrain, uneven distribution of precipitation season and frequent floods and droughts. During the period of Xining (1068— 1077) in the Northern Song Dynasty, many people wrote to ask for abandoning farmland and restoring lakes, but all failed. In the second year of Zhenghe (1 1 12), Shi Yang, who was 60 years old at that time, made up the Xiaoshan county order, called a meeting of the experienced old people in the village and personally investigated. "According to the mountain situation, you can enclose the land, take the mountain as the boundary, and build a pond with soil." Embankments were built in the south and north, and 37002 mu of wasteland was used to store water into lakes. It is more than 80 miles around the lake, about 19 miles long and 1-6 miles wide. It is narrow in the northeast and wide in the southwest, and looks like a gourd, hence the name Hu Xiang.
Since then, Xianghu Lake, as an artificial lake, has been used for flood storage and drought prevention, and irrigated 9 surrounding towns146,868 mu of farmland. Collecting seven or five spoonfuls of raw grain per mu of field is called "whole lake rice". Hu Xiang has become the "mother lake" of Xiaoshan people.
Hu Xiang Hecheng
With the development of history, due to years of sediment deposition and human occupation, the water surface of Xianghu Lake has gradually decreased. Objectively speaking, since Mouyan Mountain was opened in the Ming Dynasty and Maxi and Sanjiang sluices were built, the farmland irrigated by Xianghu Lake has been less than half of the original, which provides the possibility for reclamation of silt wasteland. According to the planning of Xianghu Lake in 1927, the areas around Dingshan and Yawushan in Shanghanghu Lake were nationalized, and the third National Agricultural College of Sun Yat-sen University (later changed to Agricultural College Farm of Zhejiang University and Hu Xiang Farm) and Hu Xiang Normal School built houses and cultivated land here. By the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947), about 7,000 mu of land had been reclaimed. On the eve of liberation, the water surface of Xianghu Lake was only 1 10,000 mu, which was less than one third of that at the beginning of the lake.
Xianghu Lake is the mother lake of Xiaoshan people. The beautiful landscape of Xianghu Lake and the ancient civilization of 8,000 years are the pride of Xiaoshan people. The protection and development of Xianghu Lake is to improve the ecological environment of Xiaoshan and create more development opportunities for Xiaoshan.
Hangzhou West Lake
There were as many as 36 lakes named after the West Lake in ancient China, of which Hangzhou West Lake was the most famous. For example, it is simply called West Lake, which usually refers to West Lake in Hangzhou. West Lake is a world-famous scenic spot with a long history, numerous historical sites, beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery.
The West Lake was a bay before the Han Dynasty. Due to tidal deposition, Hangzhou Pinglu and lagoon were formed. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, lakes were desalinated and settled. Because the lake is surrounded by Wulin Mountain on three sides, it was once called "Wulin Water". Qiantang County moved eastward from Lingyin Mountain to Pinglu, located in the county, hence the name Qiantang Lake. Because this lake is in the west of the city, it is also called the West Lake. Both names were used in the Tang Dynasty. In the middle of Northern Song Dynasty, the name of West Lake gradually replaced Qiantang Lake. After thousands of years of hard work, the working people have built seawalls and dredged lake mud, making the West Lake constantly perfect. During the Tang Dynasty, the West Lake was famous all over the country. During the Five Dynasties, Wu Yueguo (907-978) and the Southern Song Dynasty (127-1279) successively established Hangzhou (called Lin 'an in the Southern Song Dynasty), and the appearance of the West Lake changed particularly rapidly. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Italian traveler Kyle Poirot praised Hangzhou as "the most beautiful and luxurious city in the world" in his travel notes. Since then, the West Lake has become famous all over the world.
After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the West Lake was fully dredged, with 7 million cubic meters of dredged mud and 30 kilometers of shore built by barges. Plant 50 million trees; 4,000 mu of new botanical gardens, zoos, flower beds and parks around the lake; Cultural relics have been repaired, including 38 national, provincial and municipal key cultural relics protection units. At present, Tiger Run, Longjing scenic spots and historical sites and Jingci Temple and Tianzhu ancient temples have been repaired one after another; Eight of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake have been restored, and Nanping Night Bell and Leifeng Tower are also planned to be restored.
West Lake is a complex of natural landscape, cultural relics, ancient temples and pagodas, stone carvings and new parks and green spaces. Some lakes are not wide and calm as a mirror; The mountain is not high and winding; Surrounded by lakes and mountains, the natural scale is coordinated and charming. "Clouds on three sides and a city on one side" is the characteristic of West Lake. The construction of West Lake Garden not only highlights the uniqueness of West Lake scenery, but also pays attention to the integrity in harmony with local characteristics. Therefore, trees and shrubs are widely used in all newly-built and expanded gardens, forming spaces of different sizes and spaciousness, paying attention to the art of configuration, and choosing colorful trees and flowers as the main colors of gardens; Pavilions, terraces, corridors, pavilions and other buildings, as well as water control in mountain gardens, are just embellishments of scenic spots. Its shape, posture and color are integrated with the charming, serene and tranquil natural landscape and wide lake surface of the West Lake, and the artificial beauty and natural beauty are organically combined, which not only avoids the strange and ancient hunting, tortuous and closed atmosphere, but also avoids the construction of many buildings and huge buildings, and achieves the effect of clearing nature and integrating the inside and outside of the park.
At present, the lake area is 3.3km long from north to south, 2.8km wide from east to west, with a perimeter of15km, an area of 5.5km2 and an average water depth of1.5m.. The lonely mountain is a big island on the lake; Su Causeway and Bai Causeway divide the West Lake into five waters with different sizes: Waihu, Lihu, Hu Xiaonan, Yuehu and Xili. Three small islands, Santan silver moon, Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun, stand in the outer lake. The west, south and west are surrounded by mountains, and the lake area is 49 square kilometers. Wu Shan and Zhao Qianshan in the south; There are Baoshishan and Geling in the north; There are Santaishan and Dingjiashan in the west; Surrounded by Phoenix Mountain, Huangyu Mountain, Nanfeng Mountain, Beifeng Mountain, Tianzhu Mountain, Lingyin Mountain, Yuquan Mountain and Qixia Mountain. There are three famous springs: Tiger Running Spring, Longjing Spring and Yuquan Spring, as well as winding caves and places of interest such as Huanglong Cave, Xiayandong Cave, Yun Qi and Jiuxi Eighteen Rivers.
There are many historical sites in the West Lake. Taboo words used by three old people to avoid the sun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, cliff carvings in Feilaifeng from the Five Dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, statues in Xia Yandong, stone carvings in Confucius Temple, Lingyin Ancient Temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Pagoda of Six Harmonies, Baoshu Pagoda and Leifeng Pagoda in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuefei Tomb and Wang Yue Temple in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Lan Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty, and Xiling, which was established in the Qing Dynasty to study seal cutting.
West Lake has always been a gathering place for people. Bai Juyi and Su Shi, outstanding poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties, successively "raised people to open lakes" and built water conservancy projects in Hangzhou, leaving many famous sentences about the West Lake. Ma Yuan and Chen Qingbo, painters of the Southern Song Dynasty, once painted a picture of Ten Scenes of the West Lake, and Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty wrote inscriptions for the Ten Scenes. Statues of Qiu Jin, a pioneer of modern democratic revolution, and Luxun, a modern writer, both stand on the West Lake.
The natural scenery of the West Lake is different at four points. There are ten scenic spots in the West Lake, and the buildings, platforms, pavilions and pavilions are in harmony with the lakes and mountains. In spring, Spring Flowers in Su Causeway, Liu Lang Wen Ying and Watching Fish in Huagang bloom one after another. In summer, "Quyuan Wind Lotus", lotus flowers reflect the sun, and the lake is green; In autumn, Sanqiu cinnamon, fragrance floating outside the clouds; In winter, there are "broken bridges and residual snow", silver jade carvings, cranes and pavilions, and cold plums fighting snow. "Bird's eye view of Geling" in the morning; Twilight City, Lei Feng Sunset; At dusk, Nanping Night Bell; In the evening, "Three Tanmingyue" and "Pinghu Qiuyue". Ten Scenes of the West Lake shows the natural scenery of the West Lake in the morning and evening. Bai Juyi's poem: "Spring is picturesque, and the peaks are scattered around the stairs. Pine rows cover thousands of green hills, and there are pearls in the heart of the moon. " Su Shi's poem: "The water is bright and clear, and the mountains are empty and rainy." If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate. "These poems are a true portrayal of the scenery of the West Lake.
The following sources are themselves.
I think Xianghu Lake is a miracle on which Xiaoshan depends. Hangzhou is following the Hangzhou model, taking the West Lake as the leader, and promoting the vigorous development of economy and other aspects. Xiaoshan is developing well now. As a district of Hangzhou, it has greatly enhanced its popularity and competitiveness under the condition of holding a leisure Expo.
