975, old rivers and lakes

There used to be an old river and lake saying: There are eighteen lakes in Suzhou that occupy a place on the rivers and lakes! Each lake has a lake master, and there are also the first masters who live in seclusion in this lake. The rivers and lakes are the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. So who are they? Nong still listen to the old rivers and lakes to give you Hong Kong!

1. Taihu Lake: Located in the south of Jiangsu Province, in the middle of the Yangtze River Delta, different from Taihu County in the west of Anqing City, Anhui Province, there is no Taihu Lake in this Taihu County, why is it called Taihu County? All the waters are in Jiangsu Province, and the southern part of the lake is connected with Huzhou and Changxing County in Zhejiang Province. It is the largest lake in the eastern coastal region of China and the second largest freshwater lake in China (Dongting Lake has retreated to third place over the years as the lake has shrunk in size), and is a famous scenic spot in China. Taihu Lake spans the cities of Suzhou (Wuzhong District, Xiangcheng District, Huqiu District, Wujiang City), Binhu District of Wuxi City, Wujin District of Changzhou City, and Yixing City, most of which are located in Suzhou City, which is under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou respectively. The owner of Taihu Lake and the first master, the old thief and the thorn, are good at the ruyi golden hoop mace. The Taihu Lake under his jurisdiction is so large, wide and colorful, it can be said without a doubt that he is the chief representative of the "Eighteen Lakes of Suzhou", that is, the boss of the big brother!

Taihu Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in China (Dongting Lake has retreated from the second freshwater lake to the third largest freshwater lake in China with the shrinkage of the lake over the years, and Taihu Lake has risen from the original third to the second), in the southern part of Jiangsu Province. In ancient times, it was called Zhenze, Gu District, Kasasawa and Five Lakes. Historically, the waters of Taihu Lake were basically under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, and now two-thirds of the waters are within the administrative division of Suzhou. In the past, it was believed that Taihu Lake was formed by the sediment of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Qiantang River, and there is a saying that the lake swing area formed by meteorite impact nearly 10,000 years ago produced Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake, Dianshan Lake, Jinji Lake, Dushu Lake, Fenhu Lake and many other lakes, and the violent impact of celestial bodies produced a relatively strong earthquake and other damage, so the ancients called Taihu Lake Zhenze. At a normal water level of 3 meters, the lake covers an area of 2,250 square kilometers, with an average depth of 1.94 meters and a water storage capacity of 2.72 billion cubic meters. There are two main water sources: one is Tiaoxi from Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province, which is divided into more than 70 ports below Huzhou City; The other comes from Jingxi, which is at the northern foot of the Yili Mountains in Jiangsu, and is divided into more than 60 ports such as Taipu and Baidu. The water of Taihu Lake is discharged from more than 70 river ports on both sides of the north and east to the Yangtze River, and the Loujiang River (called Liuhe River in the lower reaches, passing through Liuhe Town, Taicang). ), Wusong River (called Suzhou Creek in the lower reaches, in Shanghai. ), the Huangpu River ("Three Rivers"). The Huangpu River is the largest drainage channel, accounting for about 80% of the total water output. The flow of the rest of the rivers and ports is small, and it flows backwards every time it is supported by the tide or the river rises.

There are more than 180 large and small lakes in the entire Taihu Lake water system, and together with the large and small rivers entering and leaving the lakes, they form a dense water system like a spider's web. It is beneficial for navigation, irrigation and regulating the water level of rivers and lakes. The Jiangnan Canal is an integral part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which leads the Yangtze River water from the mouth of Zhenjiang to the south, passes through the numerous rivers and lakes of the Taihu Lake water system, swallows rivers and lakes, regulates the amount of water, and becomes an important main stream of this water network. There are more than 40 islands in the lake, and Dongting Mountain is the largest in the west. On the east bank and north bank, there are low hills such as Dongting East Mountain, Lingyan Mountain, Huishan Mountain, Maji Mountain, etc., which are connected by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful, which is a famous tourist area. The hills along the lake and the island mountains in the lake are rich in tea, silkworms, and subtropical fruits such as bayberry, loquat, chestnut, citrus, etc. Most of the old river networks in the Taihu Plain are shallow, narrow and winding, and the drainage and irrigation systems are disordered, and flooding is still a potential threat. Unified planning has been carried out to prohibit blind reclamation, and to renovate river channels to increase flood drainage capacity and improve irrigation efficiency.

2, Shang Hu: The eighth hero of the rivers and lakes. Shanghu Bay, according to legend, was named after Jiang Shang at the end of Yin to avoid the tyranny of the king and live in seclusion here for fishing. Shanghu Bay is adjacent to Shili Yu Mountain in the north and the ancient city of Changshu in the east, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is an important scenic spot of the national Taihu Lake Scenic Area. Shanghu Bay and Yushan reflect each other, ten miles of green mountains and half into the city, ten thousand acres of blue waves surging the west gate, adding a thousand kinds of customs to the ancient city, has always been a famous scenic tourist attraction in the south of the Yangtze River. Huang Gongwang, Shen Zhou, Tang Yin, Kang Youwei, Yu Youren, Liu Yazi and other literati of previous dynasties have inscriptions to pass down. Until the 60s, there was still a strong sense of nature. Shanghu Lake is the main Shang Fang Wuji, and the first master of Shanghu is still okay. There is also a small island called "Peach Blossom Island" in the Shanghu Lake they occupy, which is similar to the "Peach Blossom Island" in Jinji Lake in Suzhou and the "Peach Blossom Island" in the south of Zhoushan in Zhejiang. If you don't believe me, you can go and see.

3, Kuncheng Lake: The seventh hero of the rivers and lakes. Kuncheng Lake, also known as East Lake, is located in the southern suburbs of Changshu City, belongs to the Yangcheng Lake Group of Taihu Lake Basin, is 6 kilometers long from north to south, 3-4 kilometers wide from east to west, covers an area of 18.4 square kilometers, is the largest lake in Changshu City, with a water storage capacity of 50 million cubic meters, and more than 20 estuaries along the lake. Kuncheng Lake is north of the South Third Ring Road, east and west of the 227 double line and 227 provincial highway, south of the Xitai Highway, the total area of these four roads is about 32.4 square kilometers. The Zhangjiagang channel passes through the northern end of the lake. Before the remediation, the landscape of Kuncheng Lake was disorderly, the water quality was poor, and the local area was inferior to five categories. Since the launch of the Kuncheng Lake Ecological Restoration Project on October 16, 2006, the ecological restoration has achieved initial results, the water quality in the lake has been significantly improved, and the four types of water standards have been reached, the reeds on both sides of the dam have grown and formed, and the biological chain of Kuncheng Lake is gradually recovering.

The overall planning of Kuncheng Lake Scenic Area is: one ring, two corridors, two islands, and three lakes. Focusing on the master plan, Kuncheng Lake will be built into a new ecological scenic spot with strong potential that combines agricultural production, life and eco-tourism, integrating ecological leisure, water vacation, marine science popularization, recreation and sports, catering and entertainment, and cultural connotation. Kuncheng Lake's first master, who is also the master of the lake, will die at once, and a bright silver gun will shock the rivers and lakes to the four seas. Look at how peculiar the name of this lake lord is, he actually called Kun to die in one fell swoop! It's weird! Since he can be called the master of Kuncheng Lake, can you imagine how great his ability is?

It is said that Dianshan Lake Lord Dian Aiqing, who is famous in the martial arts world of rivers and lakes by relying on the iron sand palm and iron cloth shirt, is the first master of Dianshan Lake, and has always wanted to compete with Yangmingshan Yang Hero for the second place of "Suzhou Eighteen Lakes". As a result, the two fought for three days and three nights on the shore of Jinji Lake, and Yangming Mountain Yang Daxia finally defeated Dian Aiqing and retained his position as the second oldest in the rivers and lakes, while Dian Aiqing could only succumb to the third place.
