Bai Juyi

On the day he arrived in Hangzhou, he couldn't wait to write "Thank you for the secretariat of Hangzhou". From then on, he began the eternal love between the great poet and the beautiful mountains and rivers. Bai Juyi's achievements in Hangzhou are numerous, but the most prominent one is to dig six wells and build the West Lake levee. First, he dredged six wells dug in Qin Li 40 years ago, then restored the West Lake and built dikes.

In 824, Bai Juyi served for three years. When he left, he left a lake with clear water, a dike with incense, a clear spring in six wells and 200 poems. When he left at the end of his term, people helped the old and the young, and the whole city saw him off. When leaving, Bai Juyi replied a poem: taxes are heavy, but most of the poor households are poor, and farmers are starving to dry land. Save a lake and save an evil year with you.

Su Dongpo

Say goodbye to Bai Juyi, the West Lake has experienced a hundred years of ups and downs. 107 1 year, the West Lake welcomed another noble Su Dongpo in her history. During his stay in Hangzhou, he helped people and managed rivers.

The famous assertion is that there is a West Lake in Hangzhou. If people have eyes, they cannot be destroyed. After that, an unprecedented transformation of the West Lake began. From summer to autumn, Su Dongpo launched a fund-raising campaign throughout the city, using 200,000 migrant workers, and finally managed the West Lake. The rest of the mud and grass built the world-famous Su Causeway today.

During his stay in Hangzhou, Su Dongpo built dams and recited thousands of poems. Since his time, he has shown the first scene of heaven. It can be said that since then, the West Lake has really become a fascinating scenic spot.

After the Yuan Dynasty, the West Lake was regarded as the femme fatale in the cold palace. After nearly a hundred years of cold reception, a good family almost became a servant girl in Chai Men. Until 1503, another saint-Yang was welcomed in Hangzhou. It took him five years to persuade the court to restore the West Lake. In March 508, Yang used 8,000 civilian workers, which lasted 152 days, and demolished 348 1 mu of farmland to restore the old appearance of the West Lake. Part of the mud was given to Su Causeway of Su Dongpo, a saint who was emerging at that time. It was filled by 20 feet and widened by 50 feet. Willows were planted on both sides of the river, and Su Causeway restored the inherent scenery of Liuqiao Ada. Another part of the mud embankment was built into another embankment, which kept pace with Su Causeway.
