Yuanyang lake scenic spot

Yuanyang Lake is famous for its beautiful scenery, quiet environment and rich myths and legends. Luo Yunjin, a famous person in the late Qing Dynasty, once visited this lake, leaving such a poem: "Yuanyang Lake reflects the blue sky, and willows drag on the shore-since spring. If I know this is a real blessing, where can I find a fairyland?

Yuanyang Lake is located at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain about 1.5 km east of Fengshan County. It is two large pools side by side, separated by more than 30 meters. The water in the right pond is as clear as a mirror, and there are countless fish swimming in the water; Zuotan water is turbid and yellowish. Local people generally call the right pool with clear water color as the mother pool, and the left pool with turbid water color as the public pool, commonly known as the "male and female pool". The water in both ponds gushed out from the foot of Phoenix Mountain. This pool keeps flowing and will never dry up. Yuanyang Lake has beautiful scenery and elegant environment.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Phoenix Mountain was lush with flowers and trees, admired by hundreds of birds, and flew to nest one after another, including a pair of phoenix birds. Below the mountain is fertile land, where people live, men plow and women weave, and their lives are happy and beautiful. One day, a devil came. He used magic to make it stop raining, the land dried up, the seedlings were dying, the crops planted by ordinary people were not harvested, and life was helpless. The phoenix bird on the mountain was very angry at this scene and flew to reason with the devil. But the devil is unreasonable, trying to drive away the phoenix bird with magic. After a life-and-death duel, the phoenix finally stung the devil to death. People were very happy to thank the Phoenix Birds, but they frowned when they saw that the seedlings in the field were about to die. Phoenix bird looked at people's sad faces and felt heavy for a while, then said to them, "Please rest assured that we can't solve the water problem."

"Say, fly to the phoenix mountain at the foot of the problem. Suddenly there was a loud bang, and two clear springs immediately appeared at the foot of the mountain. Spring water keeps pouring out, irrigating fertile fields, saving seedlings and forming a pool. People understand that these two pools are the embodiment of phoenix. In order to commemorate them, they called these two pools "male and female pools", and there was a song: "The phoenix birds on the Phoenix Mountain turned into the Yuanyang Lake at the foot of the mountain, and the Yuanyang Lake gave nectar, and future generations were happy.
