Who can introduce Hongze Lake?
Ans:
Hongze Lake is located in the western part of Hongze County, Jiangsu Province, and is developed on the alluvial plain in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River. It was originally a depression with poor water drainage, and then it retained water to form many small lakes. In the Qin and Han Dynasties in China, they are called "Fu Ling" lakes. Among them, Hongze Lake is the largest, with an area of 2069 square kilometers, for China's five freshwater lakes in the fourth largest freshwater lake.
Hongze Lake is known as broken kettle pond. In 616 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui went down to the south of the Yangtze River, which was at the time of the drought, the boat was very difficult. When the dragon boat through the broken kettle pond, a sudden downpour, the water rose high, the boat line smooth. Emperor Yang rejoiced, thought he was blessed with heavenly blessings, grace and prosperity, then the broken kettle pond was renamed Hongze Pu. The name Hongze Lake began in the Tang Dynasty.
The whole shape of Hongze Lake is very much like a swan with its head held high and its wings ready to fly. Because of the development of Hongze Lake in the alluvial plains of the depression, so the bottom of the lake is shallow and flat, the slope of the shore is slow, the bottom of the lake is higher than the east of the north of the plains of Su 4-8 meters, becoming a "hanging lake". Before the control of the Huaihe River, Hongze Lake was a vast area with no fixed shore and no certain shape. Referring to the governance of the Huaihe River, Hongze Lake was also improved. Now the eastern embankment of the lake is 50 meters wide and 67 kilometers long, almost entirely made of basalt stones. From a distance, it looks like a great wall on the water stretching across the lake. This dike not only protects the downstream area of ten thousand hectares of fertile land and thousands of villages and towns, and the rich water storage for shipping, power generation, irrigation provides a convenient.
Hongze Lake is a shallow lake, the water depth is generally within 4 meters, the maximum depth of 5.5 meters. The source of the lake, in addition to atmospheric precipitation, mainly by the river water. The rivers flowing into Hongze Lake are concentrated in the western part of the lake, including Huaihe River, Suixi River, Bianhe River and Anhe River. The Three Rivers and the North Jiangsu Irrigation Canal are the main rivers that drain Hongze Lake into the Yangtze River and the sea.
Hongze Lake is rich in aquatic resources, and there are nearly one hundred species of fish in the lake, mainly carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, green, grass, silver carp, etc.; the crabs in Hongze Lake are also famous far and near. In addition, Hongze Lake is very famous for its aquatic plants. The reeds are almost all over the lake, and where they are luxuriant, even boats find it difficult to navigate. Lotus root, Gorgon fruit, rhombus in the history that is well-known, there was a "chicken head, rhombus half a year grain," said.

Hongze Lake embankment
Jersey Lake embankment was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty Jian'an five years (200 AD), by the Guangling governor Chen Deng presided over the construction of the first 30 miles, began to be called "Gaojiayan". During the reign of Ming Yongle, Chen Xuan, the governor, built a dike between Wudun and Zhouqiao, and during the reign of Ming Wanli, Pan Jixiao, the river watercourse, extended the dike to Jiangba, and the dike of Hongze Lake was basically completed. At the beginning, the dike was made of earth, but later it was changed to brick dike and stone dike. The stone embankment was built in the eighth year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1580 AD), and was basically completed in 171 years after two dynasties of the Ming and Qing Dynasties***. The stone embankment adopts pile foundation technology. Stone linkage, iron pot bite title of the anti-wave method, in accordance with the natural flow of waves breaking wave wave prevention principle, built more than a hundred curves winding long embankment. At the same time in the embankment line built "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith" five water reduction dam to drain the flood water.
The stone embankment is more than a hundred miles long, magnificent, like the "Great Wall on the water". However, for hundreds of years, every flood season, due to the upstream water and the flood discharge capacity of the lower continent is a big difference, so the dike has been repeatedly routed, causing devastating disasters to the lower continent. 1950, *** comrade issued a "must fix the Huaihe River," the call, after 40 years of hard work, the construction of a series of large and medium-sized hydraulic buildings and flood relief, irrigation and other projects, such as the three river locks, the river, the river, the river and the river, and so on. After 40 years of hard work, a series of large and medium-sized hydraulic buildings and flood relief, irrigation and other projects, such as three river gates, two river gates, Gaoliangjian inlet gates, hydroelectric power stations, double line locks, etc. In the winter of 1966 and dismantled the original stone works, in the lake to add a 50-meter-wide, 14.5-meter-high anti-wave platform, with the old dike barstone built berms, planting more than 400,000 trees, the foot of the dike into a stone masonry slope, the upper top of the dike and cut a stone wall. In order to protect the dike foolproof, from the winter of 1976 to the spring of 1978, and in the east side of the dike plus 26 meters wide, 13.4 meters high secondary dike platform, but also fill in the Zhouqiao, GaoLiangJian two deep ponds, now the dike has really become "solid as a golden broth" of the "Great Wall of water!
From the county, the dyke has become the "Great Wall on the water".
Along the 50-mile embankment from the county to Jiangba, there are many places of interest, such as GaoLiangJianQingLongAn, dock exit at the big pier island of the Three Kingdoms when the general deng ai drinking pool site, and then forward to the nine dragons bay, zhouqiao pond, qianlong imperial monument, the rolling dam (i.e., benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith in the five dams), huangang temple (the Shunzhi years of the jinshi, the poetry of the school of ShenRhyme of the emperor wang fishermen Yang had to come to the see the temple in the osmanthus bloom, fragrance full of yard, and the temple is the most important place in the history of the temple, and the most important thing is that the temple has the most important place. (Wang Yuyang, a scholar in the Shunzhi Dynasty and the founder of the Shenyun School of Poetry, once came here and saw that the osmanthus blossoms in the temple were in full bloom and filled the courtyard with fragrance, so he wanted to follow the Lanting's elegant gathering and invited the seven poets of the Lakeshore to the temple to sing osmanthus poems together), and the three river gates. Now Hongze Lake embankment on both sides of the east and west planted trees, borrowed to swim to fly a dragon, people walking in which, doubly feel the "vast clouds and smoke caged waves, rain color into the heavy abyss".
