Why is Weishan Lake the "Dutch Capital of China"?

Weishan Lake, like a long and narrow jade belt, is embedded at the junction of Jiangsu and Shandong provinces in China and belongs to Weishan County, Jining City, Shandong Province. Weishan Hunan is adjacent to Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, connected to Zoucheng and Qufu, the holy places of Confucius and Mencius in the north, Heze, the hometown of peony in the west, and "10,000 mu pomegranate garden" in Zaozhuang and Yicheng in the east, which is an important "golden waterway" in China.

Weishan Lake was formed 400 million years ago. At that time, North China as a whole tilted towards shallow seas and lakes. About 7 million years ago, due to the strong movement of the earth's crust, a depression was formed in a large area, and water from central Shandong and Shanxi accumulated here to form a depression area, which created conditions for the birth of Weishan Lake. Another important reason is that the continuous flooding and siltation of the Yellow River has raised the highland on the west bank of Surabaya, and the Yellow River water has occupied this area for a long time to form a wetland. Weishan Lake was formed at the breach of the Yellow River in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the Yellow River is the mother river of Weishan Lake.
