Brief introduction of Mochou Lake in Nanjing

Nanjing Mochou Lake Park is a famous classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River, with a long history of 1500 years and rich cultural resources. It was a scenic spot in the Six Dynasties.

The existing area of the park is 58.36 hectares, including 32.36 hectares of water surface.

The buildings, pavilions, pavilions and pavilions in the park are strewn at random, with weeping willows and begonia on the shore, rippling lakes and blue waves.

Hallows, Yu Jintang, Shuixie, Bao Yue Tower and winding paths are secluded among rocks, pines, bamboos, flowers and trees. It is difficult to judge right from wrong by comparing Xici with Mochow.

But I feel that the West Lake is losing, and the river is shooting clouds outside.

Since ancient times, it has been known as "the first lake in the south of the Yangtze River", "the first scene in Jinling" and "the first of the 48 scenic spots in Jinling".

There are buildings such as Shengqi Building, Yu Jintang, Shanghetang and Guanghua Building in the lake.

There is a stone statue of Mo Chounv in the pool outside Yu Jintang.

Known as "the first lake in Jinling".

Mochou Lake was called Hengtang in ancient times and named Shicheng Lake after Shicheng.

According to legend, in the Southern Qi Dynasty, there was a girl named Mochow in Luoyang who was hardworking, kind, beautiful and intelligent.

15 years old, his father died of illness and had to sell his body to bury his father.

As it happens, Mr. Lu, who lives on the bank of Shicheng Lake in Jiankang, is in Luoyang. Seeing Mochow's beauty and cleverness, he bought her as his daughter-in-law.

Mochow left her mother in the south with tears after burying her father. Soon, the northern frontier was occupied by the enemy, and her husband applied for border defense. Unexpectedly, I haven't heard from you for ten years.

Simple Mochow pinned her mind on the kindness of helping her neighbors in times of crisis and was praised by her neighbors.

However, when her father-in-law objected, Mochow could not bear to be framed and threw herself into Shicheng Lake to show her resistance.

Later generations missed Mochou, so they renamed the place where he lived and Shicheng Lake Mochou Lake.

1979, a 2-meter-high white marble statue was carved in the lotus pond of the lotus hall on the Yu Jintang side of her former residence, which added a lot of color to Mochou Lake and has now become one of the landmark attractions in Nanjing.

In recent years, Mochou Lake Park has introduced a large number of iris flowers from Japan, and the iris garden is located around the waterside pavilion in the north of the courtyard. It is the first variety and the largest planting scale of Acorus calamus in China.

Mochou Lake is located outside Shuiximen, Nanjing. According to legend, Mochow, a girl from Luoyang, lived by the lake during the Southern Qi Dynasty, hence the name.

The park covers an area of 47 hectares, including 33 hectares of lakes with a circumference of 5 kilometers. The Qing Dynasty was called "the first scene of Jinling".

The lakeside chess building is said to be the place where Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da played chess.

Yu Jintang is Mochow's former residence.

There is a white marble stone carving in the lotus pond of Tangxi, and a mulberry statue in Mo Chounv.

Mochou Lake is outside Shuiximen, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, with a land and water area of more than 700 mu.

Named after a beautiful legend.

According to legend, there was a girl named Mochow in Luoyang in 1 year, who was hardworking, kind, beautiful and intelligent.

15 years old, his father died of illness and had to sell his body to bury his father.

As it happens, Mr. Lu, who lives on the bank of Shicheng Lake in Jiankang, is in Luoyang. Seeing Mochow's beauty and cleverness, he bought her as his daughter-in-law.

Mochow left her mother in the south with tears after burying her father. Soon, the northern frontier was occupied by the enemy, and her husband applied for the frontier. Unexpectedly, I haven't heard from you for ten years.

Simple Mochow pinned her mind on the kindness of helping her neighbors in times of crisis and was praised by her neighbors.

However, when her father-in-law objected, Mochow could not bear to be framed and threw herself into Shicheng Lake to show her resistance.

Later generations missed Mochou, so they renamed the place where he lived and Shicheng Lake Mochou Lake.

During the Six Dynasties, Mochou Lake was called Hengtang.

The whole park covers an area of 54 hectares and the lake is about 33.

3 hectares.

It was famous in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and became more prosperous after the Ming Dynasty made Nanjing its capital.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yu Jintang was built in the garden and a pavilion was built in the middle of the lake, making it the first lake in Jinling.

After liberation, the original building on Mochou Lake was renovated, the sightseeing garden was expanded, and facilities such as promenades, waterside pavilions, lake pavilions and outdoor stages were added, and flowers and trees were planted everywhere.

Nowadays, Mochou Lake, surrounded by pine forests and flourishing leaves, has become a large-scale classical garden in Nanjing.

In the park, there are Shengqi Building, Yujintang and the tombs of soldiers killed in Guangdong Army.

At both ends of the park, there are flower bonsai areas. The Begonia Flower Festival is held in April every year, and tourists come in an endless stream.

Mochou Lake is wide and rich in lotus roots. Ten hectares of lotus is the attraction of the famous lakes in the Six Dynasties.

As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mochou Lake planted a large number of lotus flowers. In the hot summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the red flowers are fragrant all over the mountains, just like the peerless Ling Boxian, with no mud.

Louhu was built in the early Ming Dynasty, and pavilions were built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.

1929 was converted into a park, and 1979 rebuilt the "Guangdong Army Martyrs' Tomb" and Sun Yat-sen's handwritten tablet "Founding an Adult" on the West Bank.
