[Edit this paragraph] Taihu Lake is the third largest freshwater lake in China.

Taihu Lake is located at the junction of Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province, in the south of the Yangtze River Delta. It is the largest lake in the eastern coastal area of China and the third largest freshwater lake in China. Taihu Lake is famous at home and abroad for its beautiful lakes and mountains and splendid human landscape. It is a famous scenic spot in China, attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists every year.

[Edit this paragraph] Introduction to Taihu Lake

The third largest freshwater lake in China is in the south of Jiangsu Province and the north of Zhejiang Province. In ancient times, it was called Zhen Ze, Ju Qu and Li Ze. The Lake District belongs to Jiangsu Province. It was formed by the sedimentation of ancient bays in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Qiantang River. When the normal water level is 3 meters, the lake area is 2250 square kilometers, the average water depth is 1.94 meters and the storage capacity is 2.72 billion cubic meters. There are two main sources of water: one is Tiaoxi from Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province, which is injected into more than 70 ports below Huzhou City; The other is Jingxi from the northern foot of Yili Mountain in Jiangsu Province, which is divided into more than 60 ports such as Taipu and Baidu. Taihu Lake is discharged into the Yangtze River from more than 70 river ports on both sides of the northeast. The main sources are Loujiang River (downstream called Liuhe), Wusong River (downstream called Suzhou River) and Huangpu River. Huangpu River is the largest drainage channel, accounting for about 80% of the total outflow of Haitouzhu in Taihu Lake. Other rivers and ports have small flows, and every time they flow backwards because of high tide or rising river water.

[1] There are more than 80 large and small lakes/kloc-0 in the whole Taihu Lake system, which, together with the large and small rivers entering and leaving the lakes, forms a cobweb-like dense water system. It is very beneficial to shipping, irrigation and regulating the water level of rivers and lakes. Jiangnan Canal is an integral part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It leads the Yangtze River south from Jianbikou, Zhenjiang, passes through many rivers and lakes in Taihu Lake system, devours rivers and lakes, and regulates water quantity, thus becoming an important mainstream of this water network. There are more than 40 islands in the lake, the largest of which is Dongting West Mountain. On the east and north shore, there are Dongting Dongshan, Lingyan Mountain, Huishan Mountain, Maji Mountain and other low hills, which are connected by mountains and rivers and have beautiful scenery. They are famous tourist areas. The hills along the lake and Nakajimayama Lake are rich in tea, silkworm and subtropical fruits, such as bayberry, loquat and citrus. Most of the old river networks in Taihu Plain are shallow, narrow and tortuous, and the irrigation and drainage system is disordered, so the flood disaster is still a potential threat. Unified planning is implemented, blind reclamation is prohibited, river courses are regulated, flood discharge capacity is increased, and irrigation and water diversion benefits are improved.

[Edit this paragraph] Ecological characteristics

Taihu Lake is obviously eutrophic, with excess phosphorus and nitrogen. In 1980s, the main pollutants, total phosphorus and total nitrogen, seriously exceeded the standard, and the contents of mercury compounds and COD in some areas exceeded the standard. The annual maximum water temperature appears in July and August, and the annual minimum water temperature appears from late February to early February 12. The annual maximum water temperature reaches 38℃, the minimum water temperature is 0℃, the annual variation range of water temperature is 29.5-38.0℃, the average variation range is about 34℃, and the average water temperature is 17. 1℃, which is the average water temperature in Taihu Lake over the years. There are 106 species of fish in Taihu Lake, which belong to 24 families of 15 orders, including 54 species of CYPRINIDAE.

The shape of the lake is like a crescent moon protruding westward. In the form of lake shore, the south shore is a typical circular coastline, and the northeast coast is tortuous with many bays, and the headlands and lakes are alternately distributed. The lake area calculated by the lakeshore is 2427.8 square kilometers. Taihu Lake has 5/kloc-0 islands with a total area of 89.7 square kilometers. Therefore, the actual water surface area of Taihu Lake is 2338. 1 square kilometer, and the coastline bus is 405 kilometers. Average water depth1.89m. It can be seen from the topography of the lake bottom that the topography of the lake basin is inclined from east to west, and the shape of the lake basin is shallow dish.

Taihu Lake was called "Zhenze" and "Giant Canal" in ancient times, also known as "Five Lakes" and "Lize". It is a relic of an ancient coastal lake, located at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, in the south of the Yangtze River Delta. About 6.5438 million years ago, Taihu Lake was still a big bay, but it was gradually isolated from the sea in the process of seawater desalination and became an inland lake.

Taihu Lake is a large shallow water lake in plain water network area. The lake area boasts 48 islands and 72 peaks, with lakes and mountains, which set each other off. It has uncut natural beauty and is called "Taihu Lake is the best in the world". Wuxi landscape, Suzhou gardens, Dongting Dongshan Xishan and Yixing Dongting World are all famous tourist attractions in Taihu Lake area.

Taihu Lake is located in the center of Jiangnan water network, with large storage capacity and relatively stable water level, which is beneficial to irrigation and shipping. Taihu Lake Basin has a total area of 36,500 square kilometers and a population of 34 million, accounting for about 1/8 of the national gross national product, accounting for less than 0.4% of the national land area. The level of urbanization ranks first in the country, the township industry is developed, the grain output accounts for 3% of the country, and the output value of freshwater fish industry also accounts for a high proportion. Taihu Plain has a mild and humid climate, dense water networks and fertile soil. It is an important commodity grain base and one of the three sericulture bases in China, and is known as the land of plenty.

Taihu Lake is located in the center of the affluent triangle of Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou. It is a lake deposited by the ancient bays in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Qiantang River. Around it, there are stars holding the moon, such as Dianling Lake Group, Yangcheng Lake Group and Tao Ge Lake Group. The criss-crossing rivers, streams and lakes connect Taihu Lake with the surrounding lakes, forming a unique water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Taihu Lake is known as "36,000 hectares, surrounded by 800 Li", but the actual area has changed greatly since its formation due to siltation, artificial reclamation and other factors. Today, Taihu Lake is connected to Wuxi in the north, Huzhou in the south, Yixing in the west and Suzhou in the east. The water area of Taihu Lake is about 3 159 square kilometers.

Taihu Lake Basin has a mild climate and rich specialties, and has been a famous land of fish and rice since ancient times. Taihu Lake is rich in aquatic products, rich in fish and shrimp, known as "Taihu Lake is 800 miles long, and fish and shrimp are inexhaustible".

This huge project was completed by nearly 1,000 construction troops in Wuxian, the former county-level city of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, with self-raised funds of more than 654.38 billion yuan, fighting for two years. The completion of the bridge will not only fundamentally solve the traffic problems of Xishan Island in Taihu Lake, but also realize the long-cherished wish of local people to build a bridge for generations. It will also play an active role in developing and utilizing the natural resources of Taihu Lake, giving play to its geographical advantages, speeding up the construction of Suzhou Taihu National Tourism Resort and building a tourism economic zone around Taihu Lake as soon as possible.

[Edit this paragraph] History and culture

Civilization ancient county

Taihu County is an ancient civilization with a long history. During the Western Han Dynasty, it was the land of Hu Ling, belonging to Lujiang County. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu Ling entered Anhui County. In the 25th year of Yuanjia in the Southern Song Dynasty (448), Zuoxian County of Taihu Lake was established, which belonged to Jinxi County. In ancient times, the right person respected and the lower person was "left". During the Southern Song and Qi Dynasties, the barbarians in the south were called "Man Left" and the county where the barbarians lived was called "Zuo County". Zuoxian County, Taihu Lake, came from this. In the second year of Qi Jianyuan in the Southern Dynasty (480), Long 'an County was established, leading Zuoxian County and Chen Dong County of Taihu Lake (the county was ruled in Houhe Village, Xiaochi Town). In the fifth year of Chen Taijian in the Southern Dynasties (573), Longan County and Chen Dong County were abandoned, leaving only Zuoxian County in Taihu Lake. In the third year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (583), the county was abolished and the country was founded. Jinxi County was renamed Xizhou, and Zuoxian County of Taihu Lake was renamed Jinxi County. In the eighteenth year of Huang Kai, Jinxi County was renamed Taihu County, and the word "Left" was removed, belonging to Tongan County. In the fourth year of Tang Wude (62 1), Qingcheng and Jingyang were divided into two counties. Three years later, Qingcheng was abandoned and merged into Jingyang. Another year, Jingyang was abandoned as Taihu Lake, which belongs to Zhou Shu, and the county name is still in use today. During the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Taihu Lake belonged to Anqing Prefecture. During the Republic of China, it belonged to Anqing Road, Anhui Province, the first administrative supervision area of Anhui Province and Anqing Special Zone. 1March, 949, Taihu Lake was liberated. It originally belonged to Anqing area of northern Anhui administrative office, then to Anqing area of Anhui Province, and now it belongs to Anqing city.

According to the unified records of Huang Ming, Taihu Lake was originally "inhabited by thousands of mountains, with large lakes and small lakes", that is, today's large lakes and small lakes have become the flooding area of Huating Lake. "Taiping Universe" contains: "Before Yuanjia was alive, the county moved to the plain and went to the old county for 38 miles." Since then, the county government has moved to the land of "surrounded by rivers and arched mountains"-the location of the old town of Jinxi Town.

Champion's hometown

Taihu Lake, with its landscape and beautiful Zhong Ling, is known as the hometown of top scholars and the country of culture. In the imperial examinations of past dynasties, there were 3 champions, 82 civil and military scholars and 342 civil and military jurors. In the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Xinyi was the first scholar in palace examination. In the first year of Jiaqing (1796) and the ninth year of Daoguang (1829) in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao He was the top two and was appointed as the champion. In the seventh year of Jiaqing, three scholars (Zhenyu Li, Wang,) in the county won the title, which became a much-told story. Tiaoyuan Lv, who became the governor of Anhui in the early years of the Republic of China, was also born in the imperial examination before the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was really the rise of humanities, and Kejia was reelected. There were many people in Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Cai Chengtu, Li Zhirang, Ma, Uncle Wang, Lu Zhiyu and Shi Pang. His works are rich and profound.

During the Republic of China, there were more than 20 students studying in Europe, the United States and Japan, including Liu, a famous social activist, and Zhu Xiang, a famous poet. After the founding of New China, Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairman and President of the Chinese Buddhist Association, Zhao Puchu, a famous poet, calligrapher and forestry expert Ma Dapu, a famous Peking Opera actor and opera educator Ye Chunshan, a famous expert on the history of Song literature, Kong, and famous Huangmei opera performers Heather and Malan have emerged successively. There are hundreds of experts and scholars in Taihu Lake at home and abroad. In addition, many young students are among the best in the national college entrance examination and various subject competitions, and many educators and cultural and scientific workers have made remarkable achievements in teaching, creation, performance and scientific research, and won various awards.

Taihu Lake is simple in folk customs and prosperous in writing style, and attaches great importance to education. In the annual college entrance examination, the undergraduate achievement rate has been among the best in Anhui Province and Anqing City.

The source of Zen

This county is the birthplace of Zen culture in China. During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Buddhist Tucheng, a monk from the western regions, came here to build temples and towers. In 56 1 year, Hui Ke, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism, came from Shaolin Temple to Sikong Mountain and Lion Mountain near Huating Lake to preach Buddhism, and evolved the "one flower and five leaves" of Zen Buddhism in China. The Great Hulu Cave, which was recorded in the history books by the second ancestor of Lion Mountain, has been well preserved so far. There are dozens of key temples in the scenic area, such as Fotu Temple, Zu Er Temple, Xifeng Temple and Haihui Temple, which have been very famous since ancient times. Zhao Puchu, a famous religious leader, former president of the National Buddhist Association, and known as the "living Buddha" at home and abroad, grew up on the bank of Huating Lake.

Red hot land

Taihu county is a red land. From the Second Revolutionary Civil War to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea after the founding of the People's Republic of China, thousands of heroic sons and daughters gave their precious lives. The majestic Longshan is proud of it, and the long river yearns for it.

1928 Taihu Branch was established in Ganjiashawan, which was the first * * * production party organization in the county. Since then, the people of Taihu Lake have waged a hard struggle to overthrow the three mountains under the leadership of the China * * * Production Party. 1930, Taihu County Committee was established, and Taisu Wangbiannong was organized to hold an armed riot in Dashiling County. 193 1 year, the North Central District Party Committee and the Soviet government in the North Central District were established one after another to crack down on local tyrants and divide fields. 1932, the Central Hekou District Committee and the Soviet regimes in three towns were established one after another.

During the Second Revolutionary Civil War, the 5th Army 15 and 25th Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army conquered Taihu City twice, and the 28th Army led by Gao Jingting was rebuilt in Liang Ting Depression (now Yuexi) of Taihu Lake, where three important meetings were held and five major battles were fought.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, although Taihu Lake was a secluded place, the Japanese army did not let it go. After two invasions and repeated bombing, the people of Taihu Lake suffered greatly. During the period of 1938, Kuomintang troops blocked the Japanese Shimizu Division at Dongshantou, the county seat. Despite heavy casualties, the county has not been saved. In order to lead the people to carry out the anti-Japanese national salvation movement, 1938 April, Taihu Central County Committee (also known as Anhui Central Working Committee) was established, 1938 mid-February, Taihu County Committee was established. Since then, the Qitaiying Working Committee, the Zhongtaiying Working Committee and the Zhongtaiying Suibian County Committee have been established in mountainous areas, and the "three-thirds system" county-level political power of anti-Japanese democracy-the Qitaiying Suibian Military-civilian Joint Office has been established.

During the War of Liberation, the leading organs such as the Central Committee, the Special Agency and the West Anhui Military Division were all located in Taihu Lake, which promoted the revolutionary struggle in Taihu Lake. Especially in 1947, after Liu Bocheng and Hu Ancestral Hall held a meeting of the brigade commander of the third column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army and cadres above the members of the West Anhui Working Committee, the revolutionary struggle situation in Taihu Lake was in full swing, the revolutionary regimes in counties, districts and townships were established one after another, the revolutionary period was strengthened day by day, and the liberated areas were continuously expanded until 1949 (Lunar calendar).
