Willow is full of clear water, and falling flowers touch the beautiful scenery.

Mochou Lake in March, outlined by weeping willows and flowers, is a fresh and elegant pastoral landscape and a poetic park far away from the world. After a new rain, you will encounter groups of begonia, watch the glittering and translucent water drops hanging on the flower face, and meet the dense flower rain after a gust of wind, and you will think of Mo Chounv who is delicate and elegant, sad and without makeup.

In the early 1960s, Chong Peng, then the leader of Nanjing, asked Mochou Lake Park to plant flower trees that could prove each other with Mo Chounv, and finally chose Haitang. After decades of key cultivation, Mochou Lake Park has more than one species of begonia 10000, and more than one species of begonia 100. In spring, the blooming begonia and the pavilions by the lake complement each other, creating a dreamlike scenery.

Begonia flower, alias "daughter flower", has neither the arrogance and loneliness of plum blossom nor the ethereal and elegant orchids, just like a lady of scholarly family, elegant and refined, and has a taste of small jasper. The ancients also called it "heartbroken flower", and used flowers to express the sadness of parting between men and women ... all of these have certain origins with Mochow.

The legendary Mochow lost her mother when she was young and lived with her father. She is clever and diligent. She can not only read, but also recite a few poems. She is also good at picking mulberry, sericulture, textile and embroidery. She also learned the skills of picking herbs and treating diseases from her father. /kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, his father fell off a cliff and died. Because of her poor family, Mochow had to sell herself to bury her father, marry into the Lu family in Jinling and become the daughter-in-law of Mr. Lu.

I didn't expect my husband to join the army and never came back. Mochow endured the thoughts in her heart, and often used her savings to help her neighbors and collect medicines for poor families, which made everyone forget their worries. Mochow, who was kind-hearted, finally turned into a blue wave that missed her loved ones forever.

"Last night, the rain dispersed suddenly, a deep sleep without residual wine. Ask the shutter man, Haitang is still there. Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? It should be green, fat and thin. " Bathed in the rain of Haitang in Mochou Lake, when I think of Li Qingzhao's poem "Like a Dream", I will naturally feel a sense of cherishing flowers and hurting spring, because Haitang is also Mochou.

Perhaps the woman named Mochow threw all her aura into the lake, or the water post named Mochow touched the hearts of generations. In the torrent of the times, Mochou Lake is like a piece of jasper polished by time, soaked in the misty rain on the balcony, which reminds countless people from time to time.

Mochou Lake was famous in Song and Yuan Dynasties, especially in Ming Dynasty. The lake is sparkling and picturesque, and it has won many reputations such as "the first scene in Jinling", "the first lake in Jiangnan" and "the first of the 48 scenic spots in Jinling".

Even better than this scenery is its name. Mochou Lake was originally named Hengtang in the Six Dynasties because of its close proximity to Shicheng Lake. Later generations renamed Shicheng Lake Mochou Lake to commemorate Mochou Lake. Unexpectedly, under this change, the reputation of this lake has been achieved. Scholars of all ages have come in droves, thinking about the present and the past, and I don't know how many well-known works have been left for this lake.

To compare Mochow in Xici, it is difficult to judge right or wrong from Yan Bo.

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

This is the last poem in Yuan Mei's Twenty Poems of Mochou Lake in Qing Dynasty. Yuan Mei, who is partial to Nanjing, thinks Mochou Lake is better than the West Lake and is better than Mochou Cloud.

Next to Mo Chounv's former residence, Yu Jintang, there is an antique two-story building facing south. It faces south. Under the eaves of the building, there is a large-character plaque inscribed by Mei, the champion of the Qing Dynasty. The couplets on the sill posts on both sides of the building read: "The mountains and rivers are half covered with fog and rain, and the vassal cause is like a chess game."

What is the origin of this "winning chess building"? What kind of historical clouds are breathing in the misty rain of half a lake and a chess game?
