The ancients have long summarized the beauty of Dongting Lake. Among the eight scenic spots in Xiaoxiang recorded in the Qing Dynasty’s "Dongting Lake Chronicles" are Dongting Autumn Moon, Yuanpu Returning to the Sail, The ten shadows of Dongting Lake are the geese falling on the flat sand, the sunset in the fishing village, the snow on the river sky, and the sun, moon, clouds, snow, mountains, towers, sails, fishermen, gulls and wild geese. In August 1988, "Yueyang Tower Dongting Lake Scenic Area" was designated as a national key scenic area by the State Council.

Sealing the mountain, a stone seal can still be seen on the stone wall near the lake. It is 1 meter long and 0.8 meters wide. Legend has it that the first emperor of Qin was on a hunting expedition all over the world. When his boat passed Junshan, he ordered the sealing order to be carved on the stone wall.

Introduction to Dongting Lake

Dongting Lake was called "Yunmengze" in ancient times. ", is the second largest freshwater lake in my country. Dongting Lake spans the two provinces of Hunan and Hubei. It is connected to the Yangtze River in the north and the Xiang, Zi, Yuan and Feng rivers in the south. It is known as the "Eight Hundred Mile Dongting Lake".

Dongting Lake means the fairy cave, which shows how beautiful and charming the scenery is. Dongting Lake is vast and winding, with abrupt mountains. Its biggest feature is that there is a lake outside the lake and mountains in the lake, with fishing sails dotted, reed leaves green, the water and sky the same color, and gulls and herons flying. The scenery is different in the four seasons of spring and autumn, and it changes in thousands of ways in one day. Among the "Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang" described by the ancients, the "Autumn Moon in Dongting", "Returning to the Sail at Yuanpu", "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand", "Sunset in the Fishing Village", "Dusk Snow in the River and Sky", etc., are all portrayals of the current East Dongting Lake.

Liters and poets of all ages have enthusiastically praised the beautiful Dongting Lake. "The Story of Yueyang Tower" by Fan Zhongyan, a famous politician, military strategist and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, vividly and vividly describes the ever-changing scenery of Dongting Lake from the perspective of Yueyang Tower (from a high position) and is very popular.

Dongting Lake is majestic and majestic, and the moonlight of Dongting Lake is soft and magnificent.

Introduce Dongting Lake.

Dongting Lake, known as Yunmeng, Jiujiang and Chonghu in ancient times, is located on the south bank of Jingjiang River in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, spanning Yueyang, Miluo, Xiangyin, Wangcheng, Yiyang, Yuanjiang, Hanshou, Changde, Jinshi, Anxiang and Nan County and other counties and cities. The name Dongting Lake began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was named after Dongting Mountain (now Junshan) in the lake.

Dongting Hubei receives water from the Yangtze River’s Songzi, Taiping, Ouchi, and Tiaoxian tributaries, and is connected to the Xiang, Zi, Yuan, Li Rivers and other small tributaries such as the Miluo River to the south and west. It is connected by Yueyang City Chenglingji flows into the Yangtze River.

Dongting Lake was once known as the "Eight Hundred Miles Dongting" in ancient times. In the late 1990s, according to calculations by the water conservancy department, it had an area of ??2,579.2 square kilometers (some say 2,740 square kilometers); but it also had a floodway area of ??more than 1,300 square kilometers in the four rivers of Hunan, Zi, Yuan, and Li and the "four mouths of the Yangtze River" (One says 18,780 square kilometers). Combined, there are still 3879.2 square kilometers. The lake basin has a circumference of 803.2 kilometers and a total volume of 22 billion cubic meters, of which the natural lake volume is 17.8 billion cubic meters and the river channel volume is 4.2 billion cubic meters.

Dongting Lake is an important storage lake in the Yangtze River Basin. It has strong flood storage capacity and has saved countless floods in the Yangtze River. The Jianghan Plain and the three towns of Wuhan were able to safely survive the floods.

Dongting Lake is an important strategic location in history and the birthplace of traditional Chinese culture. There are many scenic spots in the lake area, and historical sites represented by Yueyang Tower are important tourism and cultural resources. It is also the birthplace of traditional Chinese agriculture, a famous land of fish and rice, and the most important commercial grain and oil base, aquatic products and breeding base in Hunan Province and even the country.

Dongting Lake District is located south of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and in the north of Hunan Province. With Dongting Lake as the core, it transitions to the east, south and west into river and lake alluvial plains, hills and low mountains around the lake, forming a saucer-shaped basin. In terms of administrative divisions, it includes 10 counties: Yueyang, Huarong, Xiangyin, Nanxian, Anxiang, Hanshou, Lixian, Linli, Taoyuan and Wangcheng, and 4 county-level cities: Linxiang, Yuanjiang, Miluo and Jinshi.

As well as Yueyanglou District, Junshan District and Yunxi District of Yueyang City, Ziyang District and Heshan District of Yiyang City, Wuling District and Dingcheng District of Changde City, a total of 21 counties and cities. , in addition, it also involves Songzi, Gongan, Shishou and other counties and cities in Hubei Province. Part of Hunan's land area is 31,700 square kilometers, accounting for 15% of the province's area.

The Dongting Lake area is a "land of plenty" in Hunan and even the country. The surrounding areas are extremely rich in natural resources, have a solid agricultural production foundation, and have a large labor force. The establishment of an economic circle around Dongting Lake is of great significance to accelerating the economic and social development of the Dongting Lake area and Hunan.

On the premise of emphasizing economic benefits and adhering to environmental benefits, we can establish national extra-large commercial grain bases, commercial pig bases, commercial aquatic product bases, high-level foreign exchange-earning agricultural bases and ecological agricultural bases; establish high-level, high-level A first-class tourism base, science and technology culture and education base and business base to achieve sustainable economic and social development in the lake area.

During the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, Dongting Lake was also called "Jiujiang". It merged the tributaries of the Xiang, Zi, Yuan, Li rivers and the Jingjiang River, and flowed northward into the Yangtze River.

At that time, the river water could reach the lower reaches of Lishui River and cross Jiujiang River, that is, it was diverted through Dongting Lake. However, the terrain from the south bank of Jingjiang River to the lower reaches of Lishui River was high in the north and low in the south (this is exactly the opposite of the current situation).

Because the Yangtze River Basin and Si River Basin in the upper reaches of Jingjiang River are sparsely populated and have a low degree of development, the original forests are still relatively well preserved, and the water and soil erosion is extremely slight. Therefore, although Dongting Lake receives the diversion floods from Si River and Jingjiang River, However, there is very little sediment entering the lake and the water flow is clear.

Does anyone have information about Dongting Lake? I really need it! ! !

Dongting Lake

The area is Hunan

Area 2820.00 square kilometers

Depth Maximum depth 30.80 meters

Volume 18.80 billion cubic meters

Cause Type Structural Lake

Ecological Characteristics The water quality of Dongting Lake is relatively clean, and eutrophication is not obvious. The main pollutants cause harmful substances in the atmosphere to be discharged with rainwater through precipitation. The lake is one of the ways for pollutants to enter the lake water. The main substances entering Dongting Lake with rainwater are SO, Co, NoX and smoke. The harmful and toxic substances mainly include mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, arsenic, lead, phenol and cyanide. , sulfide; Dongting Lake is my country's main freshwater commercial fish base. There are 113 species of fish, belonging to 11 orders and 22 families, of which 102 species are unique to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, including 65 species of carp fish, _ There are 10 species in the family, 9 species in the family Loachidae, 6 species in the family Finidae, 3 species in the family Gryllidae, 2 species each in the family Catidae, and family genus, and 16 other species. The catch ranges from 15,000 to 30,500 tons. The main economic fish are herring, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, carp, crucian carp, and red-eye trout.

Morphological description: Dongting Lake presents a landform of flow swamps and river network plains. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides to the east, south and west. It is an open horseshoe-shaped basin in the north. It is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The average lake elevation is 33.5. meters, including 35-36m in West Dongting Lake, 34-35m in South Dongting Lake, and 33-34m in East Dongting Lake. The average water depth is 6-7 meters, and the deepest depth is 30.8 meters. The total area is about 2691 square kilometers, of which 345m is in West Dongting Lake. square kilometers, South Dongting Lake is 917 square kilometers, East Dongting Lake is 1,478 square kilometers, and the lake water storage is 17.8 billion cubic meters; the bottom is muddy or silt type; the main rivers entering the lake are Xiangjiang River, Zijiang River, Yuanjiang River, Lijiang River, Three mouths of the Yangtze River, Miluo River, East Branch of Ouchi River, and Huarong River.

One of the five largest freshwater lakes in China, it is an important throughput lake in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Tectonic Lake. The lake area is located on the south bank of Jingjiang River, spanning Hunan and Hubei provinces, between 28□30′ and 30□20′ north latitude and 110□40′ and 113□10′ east longitude. The lake area covers an area of ??18,780 square kilometers, with a natural lake surface of 2,740 square kilometers and an inner lake of 1,200 square kilometers.

◆Geology and Landform Dongting Lake was formed by the fault depression of the Yanshan Movement. From the Quaternary to the present, it has been in oscillatory negative motion, forming a dish-shaped basin with a high periphery and a low and flat middle. On the edge of the basin, there are island-like mountain protrusions of about 500 meters, such as Taohua Mountain, Taiyang Mountain, and Taifu Mountain. The hills around the lake are below 250 meters above sea level. The lakeside hills below 120 meters are erosion terraces, and those below 60 meters are bases. and accumulation terraces; the accumulation plain in the middle is composed of lake deposits, river-lake alluvial deposits, estuary deltas and outer lakes, most of which are 25 to 45 meters long, presenting a water network plain landscape. It is divided into West, South and East Dongting Lake. The ground at the bottom of the lake tilts slightly from northwest to southeast. Climate and Hydrology The annual average temperature in the lake area is 16.4~17℃, in January it is 3.8~4.5℃, and the absolute minimum temperature is -18.1℃ (Linxiang on January 31, 1969). In July, the temperature is around 29°C, with the absolute highest temperature being 43.6°C (Yiyang). The frost-free period is 258 to 275 days. The annual precipitation ranges from 1100 to 1400 mm, decreasing from the outer hills to the inner plains. Rainfall from April to June accounts for more than 50% of the total annual rainfall, and is mostly heavy rain and torrential rain. If flood peaks gather together, it is easy to cause floods, waterlogging, and waterlogging. In the north of Dongting Lake, there are four outlets, namely Songzi, Taiping, Ouchi, and Tiaoxian (blocked in 1958), which divert the flow of the Yangtze River. On the east, south, and west sides, there are Xiang, Zi, Yuan, and Li rivers that directly flow into the lake, forming an uneven flow of water. The symmetrical centripetal water system has abundant water, large annual runoff variation, uneven distribution of runoff within the year, long flood season and frequent floods. The multi-year average runoff in Chenglingji is 312.6 billion cubic meters, the maximum annual runoff (1945) is 526.8 billion cubic meters, and the minimum annual runoff (1978) is 199 billion cubic meters. The runoff during the flood season (May to October) accounts for 75% of the average annual runoff; four of them are 116.4 billion cubic meters, accounting for 48.5% of the total runoff during the flood season. The water level of Dongting Lake begins to rise in April and is the highest from July to August. The dry season is from November to March of the following year. The largest water level change in many years was 17.76 meters in Yueyang. It is known as "a large area of ??floods and a few lines of dry water" and "frost falls on the Dongting dryness". In 1954, a huge flood occurred in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but Dongting Lake was still able to reduce the flood peak, demonstrating the lake's regulation and storage function. However, all the water gathered in the lake, and only Chenglingji outlet flowed out. The floods stopped for a long time, and a large amount of sediment was deposited. An average of 133.5 million cubic meters of sediment entered the lake over the years, of which 118 million cubic meters came from the Yangtze River, accounting for 82.0%. %, 024.1 million cubic meters from Sishui, accounting for 18%, while the output from Chenglingji only accounts for 25.1% of the sediment entering the lake, and the sediment deposited in Dongting Lake accounts for 73.4% of the total sediment entering the lake. Reaching 98.4 million cubic meters. The average annual siltation volume is more than ten times greater than that of Poyang Lake.

Since the 1970s, the siltation at Sankou Gate has increased, and the amount of water entering the lake has decreased. However, the natural soil on Yuan and Lihong Roads has increased significantly. The siltation height in Muping and Qili Lakes has reached 2 to 4 meters each, and the siltation height in the northern part of South Dongting Lake has reached 2 meters. , Dongting Lake Zhuzi River extends eastward from its mouth, and its tail extends to Junshan. Therefore, the flood storage capacity of the West Dongting Lake has basically disappeared, the South Dongting Lake has moved southward, and the East Dongting Lake has eroded eastward, and its regulating and storage function tends to decline.

◆Development process During the Pre-Qin to Han-Jin dynasties, as rivers flowed into the lake and the delta continued to extend into the lake, the lake surface was divided and shrunk, and islands and separated lake groups appeared on the edge of the lake area. From the 4th to the 19th century AD, Dongting Lake continued to subside slowly. The Dongting Lake water system was affected by the southward diversion of the Yangtze River. Dongting Lake continued to expand eastward. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (1825), Dongting Lake reached its heyday, with a circumference of more than 400 kilometers and a flood surface of 6,000 meters. More than square kilometers. Over the past 100 years, the Yangtze River has burst south several times, forming a four-mouth diversion situation. The river has carried a large amount of sediment into the lake, and the lake has rapidly silted up and shrunk. The current water area is less than half of what it was in its heyday, and it has been relegated to the second largest in the country. Freshwater lake. Since the 1980s, West Dongting Lake and South Dongting Lake (north) are evolving into swamps.

◆Economic Overview After three stages of farmland infrastructure construction centered on water control in 1954, 1964 and 1970s, the Dongting Lake area has become one of China's important commercial grain bases and one of the key freshwater fishing areas. The lake is dominated by resident fish, with 114 species of saltwater migratory fish and semi-migratory fish in rivers and lakes, belonging to 12 orders, 23 families, and 70 genera. Cyprinidae is the largest group, with 63 species, accounting for 55.3%. The main economic fish include 12 species including grass, silver carp, bighead carp, bream, bream, and mandarin fish. Reeds are grown all over Huzhou, covering an area of ??60,000 hectares, 90% of which are used for papermaking. There are 147 navigable rivers in the Dongting Lake area, with a navigable mileage of 3,276 kilometers. There are 75 navigable rivers all year round, including 16 main waterways totaling 996 kilometers. In addition, Chenglingji was converted into a foreign trade port in 1980, with a design capacity of 2 million tons.

◆In terms of tourism, the scenery of the lakeside is extremely beautiful, and many scenic spots are national-level scenic spots, such as: Yueyang Tower, Junshan, Du Fu's Tomb, Yangmo Village, Tiejing Building, Quzi Temple, and Yuelong Pagoda. , Confucian Temple, Longzhou Academy and other places of interest. In Chenglingji, the junction between West Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, there is a place called Sanjiangkou. Looking out over Dongting from here, you can see the Xiangjiang River rushing north, the Yangtze River rolling eastward, water birds soaring, hundreds of boats vying for the current, the water and sky the same color, the scenery is very majestic. Folk legends such as Liu Hai playing with the golden toad, Dongfang Shuo stealing fairy wine, and Emperor Shun's second concubine searching for her husband thousands of miles away originated from this place. The most famous one in the lake is Junshan, which has beautiful scenery. It is an isolated island on Dongting Lake. There are 72 large and small peaks on the island. There are ferries that travel here every day for about an hour. It takes one day to visit the mountains, go in the morning and return in the afternoon. Not only did we go to Junshan, but we also had the opportunity to swim around Dongting Lake. It was really the best of both worlds. Junshan's original name is Dongting Mountain, which means immortal cave. It is said that 4,000 years ago, Emperor Shun visited the south, and his two concubines, Ehuang and Nvying, couldn't catch up with them. They climbed a bamboo and cried bitterly. Their tears dropped on the bamboo and turned into mottled bamboo. Later, the two concubines died on the mountain, and later generations built the tomb of the two concubines. The two were also called Xiang Fei and Xiang Jun. In order to commemorate Xiang Jun, Dongting Mountain was changed to Jun Mountain. There are existing monuments such as the Tomb of Erfei, Xiangfei Temple, Liuyi Well, Feilai Bell, etc. Junshan's bamboos are very famous, including spotted bamboo, Luohan bamboo, square bamboo, solid bamboo, purple bamboo, moso bamboo, etc. Grand dragon boat festivals, lotus festivals and water sports are held here every year.
