Dongping Lake:

In ancient times, Dongping Lake was called Liaoerwa, Dayeze, Juyeze, Liangshanbo, and Anshan Lake. It was not until the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty that it was named Dongping Lake. It is the only remaining water area among the eight hundred miles of water in "Water Margin". It was announced as a provincial scenic spot by the Shandong Provincial People's Government in 1985. It is also an important scenic spot in the Water Margin tourism route launched by Shandong Province.

Dongping Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has beautiful scenery. It is known as the "Little Dongting". Cultural relics and historic sites are scattered along the lake. On the east bank of the lake is the place where Song Jiang, the leader of the Water Margin hero, attacked Dongping Fucheng.

What is the joy of traveling from the public... There are mountains to the east, and water flows out. There is a platform. Looking up, there is a marsh to swim in. Looking up and down, the red railings reflect the clear pond, and the grass and trees are not the same, green and red with the four seasons. "Lejiao Pond Pavilion" was a park at that time, and Ouyang Xiu visited the park for several days. Express your thoughts. What fun is there in Lejiao? Let’s go here to play. It can be seen that Dongping Lake was a good place to visit in ancient times. The Qingshui Stone Bridge built in the Sui Dynasty is still buried under the water of Dongping Lake.

Because Chao Gai loved plum blossoms during his lifetime, in order to commemorate Chao Gai, later generations renamed Guanyin Hall "Cangmei Temple". The original big bell in the temple is called the "sister bell" together with the big bell in Dongping Mansion. If one of them is struck, the other big bell will echo in response. Nowadays, the temple has been destroyed, and only the bell frame, ruins and broken monuments remain. There are still ruins of "Huiyuan Pavilion" on the island. Huiyuan Pavilion was built by Su Yuanming, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty and the governor of Dongping County. After it was completed, he invited the prefects of Puyang, Lujun, Jinan, and Jiyang to come to Huiyuan Pavilion to drink and enjoy the scenery. When they saw such a beautiful scenery, they called Dongping Lake "Little Dongting" and recited poems about it. Zhongsu Yuanming said this: "The Ark is held in the small Dongting, and the wind is floating away from the advection; the Ark is held in the small Dongting, and the clouds are slightly connected." This means that the boat sails into the "Little Dongting" with the rope, and the gentle wind blows in the On the water, light white clouds connect to the cliffs on the shore to form a spectacular picture. Su Che, a writer of the Song Dynasty, visited Dongping Lake (Liangshan Lake) at night and was intoxicated by the wonderful night scenery of "Little Dongting". He also left behind a beautiful poem: "It is more late for the moon to shine, and the waves are clear, and I lie down and listen to the sound of fishermen rowing their oars."

The natural landscape of Dongping Lake has attracted many literati in the past dynasties. Li Bai, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, Li Shangyin, Xin Qiji and other literati have left many popular poems.

Dongping Lake is the remaining water area of ??800 miles of water in "Water Margin". The opening line of the book "Water Margin" written by Shi Naian reads: "There are tigers hidden in Wanzi City." Leopards and dragons gather in Liao'erwa." Liao'erwa at that time is now Dongping Lake. The heroes of the Water Margin fought against officers and soldiers, spread justice and spread wealth, killed the rich and helped the poor, and they all once appeared in this water area. Hundreds of years have passed, and although the scenes of fighting between sailors and soldiers are no longer seen, the stories and legends about the heroes of the Water Margin and the heroes of Liangshanbo are still widely known in the local area. To spread.

In the past, Liangshanbo was the ancient battlefield in the Water Margin. Today, Dongping Lake is a good place for sightseeing.
