Xuanwu Lake

Location: Jiangsu

It covers an area of 3.7 square kilometers.

The maximum depth is 2m, and the average depth is 1. 14m.

Genetic types of denuded residual mound accumulation land

Ecological characteristics Xuanwu Lake has reached the level of serious eutrophication, and will soon reach the lake with abnormal organic pollution. Pollutants include chemical oxygen consumption, biochemical consumption, oil, nonionic ammonium, nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus, which seriously exceed the standard, with low transparency and high chlorophyll. Historically, Xuanwu Lake was rich in fish and shrimp, water chestnut and lotus root, and its aquatic resources were very rich. As a "live fish bank" in Nanjing, as early as the early 1970s, a large number of artificial freshwater aquaculture was carried out, and the fish production increased year by year. At present, there are silver carp, carp, crucian carp and bream in Xuanwu Lake, among which silver carp accounts for 80% ~ 90%. 1988 has a yield of 440t, and fishery income accounts for 22.5% of the whole lake's income. Since the early 1980s, dead fish have appeared in lakes. With the acceleration of eutrophication in Xuanwu Lake, the phenomenon of dead fish gradually developed from local lakes to the whole lake.

Description Xuanwu Lake is shaped like ham and is divided into three parts: North Lake (Northeast Lake, Northwest Lake), Southeast Lake and Southwest Lake. The north lake is shallow and the southwest lake is the deepest. Secondly, the water system of Xuanwu Lake is completely under artificial control because of the connection of lake dikes, bridges and roads. Xuanwu Lake belongs to shallow water lake. It is 2.4 kilometers long from north to south and 2.0 kilometers wide from east to west. The bottom of the lake is thick, with an average of 70cm, mainly with fine clay; The main ditches entering the lake are South Shili Changgou, Laojiting, Spice Factory, Tangjiashan Gully, Zijinshan Gully, Gangzi Village and Jiaqian Datang, with moat and Jinchuan River in the north and Pearl River in the south.

Xuanwu Lake is located outside the northeast wall of Nanjing, and is connected with the urban area through Xuanwu Gate and Jiefang Gate. 1909 became a park. At that time, it was called Wuying Lake Park, also called Wuzhou Park and Houhu Lake. The shore of Xuanwu Lake is rhombic, with a circumference of about 10 km, an area of 437 hectares and a water surface of about 368 hectares. There are five islands in the lake, which divide the lake into four blocks, and there are bridges or dikes between the islands, which is convenient for sightseeing. The depth of this lake is no more than two meters. Fish and lotus are planted in the lake. In summer and autumn, the water is green and pink lotus flowers are hidden among them. The lake is fragrant and the scenery is charming.

The five continents in the lake have their own characteristics. Let's talk about Zhou Huan first. Zhou Huan is like two huge arms, stretching out from the north and south sides to the lake and embracing Yingzhou. There is a rockery at the corner of Zhou Huan opposite Xuanwu Gate. There are two grotesque Taihu rocks beside the rockery, one shaped like Guanyin, and the other shaped like a boy, named Boy Worship Guanyin. There is a Guo Pu Pavilion on the hill behind the rockery, which is the cenotaph of Guo Pu, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Zhou Huan is characterized by a row of graceful weeping willows by the lake. The breeze blew and danced, making people stop. This scene is the new forty-eight scenes of Jinling, named "Xuanwu Smoke Willow".

From Zhou Huan to the north across the square bridge is Liangzhou, and there are two-story square ancient buildings in the northeast of Zhou Zhou. There is a platform in the north of the building, surrounded by iron railings, which is an ancient podium. There are buildings such as Friendship Hall, Chicken Pavilion and Lake Temple in the west of the building. The northwest corner of the mainland is a classical garden-style flower bed made of Yellowstone. There is a winding path paved with rain flower stones between the altars, and the phoenix pavilion is next to the flower bed. In the southeast corner is a two-story building with elegant colors and distinctive design-Baiyuan Restaurant, which serves fresh fish meals and fish banquets in the lake every day. This continent is characterized by the beauty of chrysanthemums and osmanthus. Every autumn and October, sweet-scented osmanthus is refreshing. Chrysanthemums are gorgeous and fascinating. This scene is called "Autumn Chrysanthemum in Liangzhou". This continent is just across the water from Nanjing Railway Station, and there are cruise ships by the lake, which is very convenient for foreign tourists.

From Liangzhou to the east, across Cuiqiao to Cuizhou, there are buildings such as an open-air theater, a stage in Cuizhou, and a Cuihong Hall. It is characterized by quiet trees, huge umbrella-shaped cedars, pagoda-shaped pines and cypresses and patches of bamboo forests, which are very quiet. It is a paradise for lovers, and this scene is called "Cui Zhou Yun Shu". Now, in the water in the south, a water town has been built in imitation of the customs of the Dai people. It is called "Coco Xiao Xie". It consists of more than 20 small bamboo buildings, connected by bamboo bridges. Tourists sitting in the house or drinking tea, eating, playing chess or singing, such as on a boat, have a unique taste. There are also red carp in the water for people to watch, which is a good place for leisure and vacation.

From Zhou Huan to the east, you can reach Lingzhou by crossing Lingqiao. There is a zoo on the mainland. There are dozens of rare animals such as giant pandas and giraffes in the park. The mainland is close to Zhongshan Mountain, which is as magnificent as Youlong, and the top of the mountain is often surrounded by purple and gold clouds. Seen from Lingzhou, the ever-changing Zijin Cloud is mysterious, so it is called "Lingzhou Shan Lan".

From Lingzhou to the south, you can go out of Xuanwu Lake from Jiefangmen via Tailing Land. There is a 500-meter-long winding corridor on Yingzhou, and there is a Lama Temple to the north of the corridor. There is a seven-story pagoda next to the temple, called "Nano". Cherry trees are widely planted in this continent, and cherry blossoms have also been introduced in recent years. There are many famous species. Every April, the mainland is bright, and when it encounters a little wind and rain, it will be colorful and charming. This scene is called "Yingzhou Flower Sea".

In recent years, Xuanwu Lake Park has introduced many large-scale entertainment projects to entertain tourists. For example, on the right side of Xuanwu Gate is a racecourse covering an area of 3,000 square meters. The horses in this racecourse are tamed and protected by cavalry veterans when riding to ensure the safety of tourists. On the left is a sightseeing train on the lake, which bypasses Liangzhou, Zhou Huan, Yingzhou and Lingzhou to the north and reaches Tailing Land. There are also golf clubs and standard tennis courts on the west side of Tailing Land.

Xuanwu Lake was called Sangbo Lake, Moling Lake, Houhu Lake and Kunming Lake in ancient times. According to legend, during the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, a black dragon appeared, so it was called Xuanwu Lake. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi implemented a new law and abandoned the lake as a field. Xuanwu Lake has disappeared since then. Zhu Yuanzhang built a high wall in the Ming Dynasty, and Xuanwu Lake was dredged and restored into a natural moat. 19 1 1 year opened as a park, 1954 years later, large-scale park construction began. Xuanwu Lake is located in the northeast of Nanjing, with a perimeter of 15km and a land and water area of 444 hectares. There are five small islands in the lake. Liangzhou, Zhou Huan, Lingzhou, Cuizhou and Yingzhou are connected by bridges. Pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions, halls, corridors and pavilions are dense, clouds and blue shadows are reflected, fish jump and kites fly. Willow trees around the island, flowers in Sakura Island, cloud trees in Cuizhou, autumn chrysanthemums in Liangzhou and Shan Lan in Lingzhou all have their own charm.

mochou lake

Mochou Lake is located to the west of Qinhuai River in Nanjing. Mochou Lake Park is a famous classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River, with a long history of 65,438+0,500 years and rich human resources. It was a scenic spot in the Six Dynasties. The existing area of the park is 58.36 hectares, including 32.36 hectares of water surface. The buildings, pavilions and pavilions in the park are patchwork, with weeping willows on the shore and begonia in the water. Hallows Building, Yu Jintang, Shuixie Building, Bao Yue Building and winding paths are secluded among rocks, pines, bamboos, flowers and trees. Mochou Lake has been known as "the first lake in the south of the Yangtze River", "the first scenic spot in Jinling" and "the first of 48 scenic spots in Jinling" since ancient times.

Mochou Lake was called Hengtang in ancient times, and named Shicheng Lake after Shicheng. According to legend, Mochow, a girl from Luoyang, married a rich man in Jiangdong and moved to Shicheng Lake in Nanjing during the Southern Qi Dynasty. Mochow is dignified, virtuous and helpful. Later generations renamed Shicheng Lake Mochou Lake in memory of her. Later, a 2-meter-high white marble statue was carved in the lotus pond of the Lotus Hall on the Yu Jintang side of her former residence, which has now become one of the landmark attractions in Nanjing.

Mochou Lake Park, a famous classical garden in Nanjing, is a scenic park that integrates the culture of the Six Dynasties. The land and water area of the park is 58.36 hectares. The main attractions are Mo Chounv's former residence, Flag-raising Building, Bao Yue Building, Guangdong Army Martyrs' Tomb, Haitang Garden, Waterfront Pavilion, Hu Xinting, and Sino-Japanese Friendship Iris Garden.

Mochou Lake was called Hengtang in ancient times, and it is also called Shicheng Lake because it is close to Shicheng. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, after Liang Wudi (AD 464-549) wrote Song of Water in Hedong, the beautiful legend of Mo Chounv has a long history, so Shicheng Lake was renamed Mochou Lake. Mochou Lake has been known as "the first lake in the south of the Yangtze River" and "the first scene in Jinling" since the Song Dynasty. Zheng Banqiao praised its scenery: "Ruyan Liu Lake, the lake cloud is like a dream, and the lake wave is thicker than wine." There is even a poem by Yuan Mei that praises: "If you want to compare with Mochow, it is difficult to judge right and wrong from Yan Bo; But I feel that the West Lake is being lost and the river is flying outside. "In the Republic of China, Mochou Lake listed Mochou Misty Rain as the first of Forty-eight Scenes of Jinling.

In 2004, the Nanjing Municipal Government approved the master plan of Mochou Lake Park, and defined the park as a scenic park displaying historical culture and classical architecture. The planning goal is to enlarge and refine the classical gardens, expand the historical and cultural connotations such as Mo Chounv and Shengqilou, and build them into well-known tourist attractions and comprehensive cultural parks in China. The plan divides the park into "North and South Scenic Areas", that is, the classical garden tour area, the Haitang Garden, the leisure activity area, the landscape area around the lake and the garden management area. The future Mochou Lake will be better. "ah! The beautiful melody of "Mochow, Ah, Mochow" will be more pleasing to the ear.

Nanjing has a panoramic view of Mochou Lake 200 years ago.

This ancient painting named "Scenery of Mochou Lake" was painted by Chou Ying, a famous painter in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. At that time, celebrity calligraphy wrote a collection of poems, with a preface and a postscript, which was brilliant. At the beginning of the scroll, there are four characters "Mo Xi Li Jia" written by Sun Xingyan, a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty.

Nanjing Confucius Temple

Confucius Temple, located on the Qinhuai River, was built in the third year of Sima Yan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (337). According to Wang Dao's theory that "training talents is the key to governing the country", Imperial College was established on the south bank of Qinhuai River. At that time, there was only Gong Xue, and there was no Confucius Temple. In the first year of Song Renzong Jingyou (1034), the Confucius Temple was expanded from Gong Xue in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because it is dedicated to Confucius, it is also called Confucius Temple. The purpose of building the Confucius Temple in front of Gong Xue is to hope that the literati will take the road of sages and receive feudal education. During the Jian Yan period in the Southern Song Dynasty, soldiers and fire burned us. Shaoxing was rebuilt in the ninth year (1 139), and it was called Jiankang Fu Xue. The Yuan Dynasty was changed to Qing Ji Daoism. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was a national study, merged with Shangyuan and Jiangning County, and was destroyed and rebuilt. In the early Qing Dynasty, when Fu Xue moved to the former imperial academy, he changed the Confucius Temple in Fu Xue's hometown to the county schools in Shangyuan and Jiangning counties. Xianfeng years and destroyed by fire; Reconstruction in Tongzhi eight years (1869).

Confucius Temple was not only the cultural and educational center of Nanjing in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also the first cultural and educational building complex in southeast provinces at that time. Qinhuai River is in front of Chi Pan, and the south bank has the longest zhaobi in China. Zhaobi was built in the third year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1575), and has been restored to reproduce that year. The stone fence next to Panchi was built in the ninth year of next year 15 14, and has been completely renovated. There is Kuiguang Pavilion in the east and Juxing Court in the west, which symbolizes the prosperity of writing style; Stone pillars were erected on the east and west sides of the square in front of the temple, and it was written that "the minister of civil and military affairs dismounted here" to show his respect for "the most holy king of Wenxuan" In front of the temple, there is a cypress archway with "World Wenshu", and behind it is "Xingxingmen", which is a high stone archway with six columns and three doors, and the middle door is engraved with the three characters "Xingxingmen". Between the three doors, there is a peony brick sculpture relief, and the stigma has a cloud sculpture, which is a beautiful watch. This is the passage for the emperor to worship Confucius, which is not accessible to ordinary officials and people. Closed with wooden fence on weekdays. When entering the gate, there are worship gates on both sides, with Dacheng Gate in the middle, also known as Jiyun Gate. In feudal times, every new moon, Wangwang (the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar), pilgrimage and Spring and Autumn festivals, county officials, religious oracles and instructors had to enter through Dacheng Gate, and scholars were forbidden to overstep the rules. Next is Danyong, the East-West Monument, the East is the Monument to the Lady of the Second Year of Yuan Dynasty (133 1), the West is the Monument to Siya, and the West is the inscription to Xiuxue Palace in Kangxi, Qing Dynasty. There are about two ridges around Dancheng and a corridor leading to the main hall outside. Two tablets commemorating the seventy-two sages of Confucius. In the middle is the "Dacheng Hall" and outside is the terrace. This is a place for dancing and music during spring and autumn festivals. Surrounded by stone fences on three sides, there are copper burners and tung oil torches at four corners. Sacrifices are mostly at midnight, and the light is like day. In the middle of the hall, there is a place dedicated to the great sage Confucius. Four Asian sages-Yan Hui, Zeng Shen, Monk and Kong Ji-are on the left and right. To the east of the temple, there is a small door, which is Xuegong. Between the wall of Confucius Temple and Gong Xue, there is a worry-free passage from east to west, from north to south. Hundreds of cypress trees have been planted, and the ancient trees are towering and lush. At that time, looking out from the railing on Wende Bridge outside the temple, the yellow glazed tile roof of Dacheng Hall was resplendent in the shade. Behind the temple is the "Mingde Hall". According to legend, the plaque was the regular script of Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was later changed from Zeng Guofan to seal script. Behind the main hall is the "Zunjing Pavilion", which was originally a lecture hall. There are many rigid Confucian classics and many portraits of sages upstairs. During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, it was destroyed by war. In the eighth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1869), Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang were rebuilt and expanded one after another to restore their old appearance. However, the main building of Confucius Temple was destroyed by the Japanese invaders in 1937. After liberation, the original Gong Xue was partly used as the people's playground in Qinhuai District, and the "Minghuan Township Xianci" was changed to Confucius Temple Primary School; The ruins of Dacheng Hall became Confucius Temple Square. During the Cultural Revolution, the remaining buildings were destroyed. 1983, the government allocated funds to rebuild the ancient buildings of Confucius Temple, and the main buildings were basically restored to their old appearance.

Now Confucius Temple has become an important scenic spot in the Shili Qinhuai scenic belt with rich architectural style in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It takes Dacheng Hall as the center, north and south as the axis, and is symmetrical left and right, covering an area of about 26,300 square meters. Now it has been listed as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

Confucius Temple is Confucius Temple. Confucius Temple is the common name of Confucius Temple. It was originally a place to worship Confucius. Founded in Song Dynasty, it is located beside Gong Yuan Street on the north bank of Qinhuai River. The Confucius Temple, with the Qinhuai River in front of the temple as the Chi Pan and the stone brick wall on the south bank as the zhaobi, is 1 10 meters long and is the highest zhaobi in China. There are Juxing Court and Lesige in front of the North Shore Temple. On the central axis, there are buildings such as Lingxing Gate, Dachengmen, Dacheng Hall, Mingdetang and Zunjing Pavilion. In addition, there is Kuixing Pavilion in the east of the temple.

Due to the requirements of the times, Confucius Temple has now become a place for mass cultural activities. 1985, the ancient buildings of Confucius Temple were restored, and the surrounding tea shops, restaurants, shops and other buildings were also transformed into Ming and Qing styles. The buildings of Confucius Temple, Gong Xue and Jiangnan Gongyuan are the essence of Qinhuai scenery. Gong Yuan Street in Linjiang is an ancient tourist and cultural commercial street. At the same time, according to the temple fair pattern formed in history, the east market and the west market were rebuilt. There are more than 200 kinds of traditional foods and snacks here. Every year, from the first day to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the Confucius Temple Lantern Festival is held here, which is very lively. The food culture of Confucius Temple has a long history, which can be traced back to the Six Dynasties, especially the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Various genres of food and snacks are amazing and have unique flavors. Since the reform and opening up, we have excavated and sorted out scattered folk snacks, and made innovations on the basis of inheriting traditional characteristics, forming Qinhuai snacks represented by "Qinhuai Eight Musts". Snacks are provided in a lean way, mixed with meat and vegetables, interspersed with folk performances, with strong local characteristics and cultural atmosphere, which makes the catering process become a process of general cultural appreciation at the same time, reflecting the exquisite combination of catering and culture, and has long-term appeal to Chinese and foreign tourists. At present, there are more than 200 kinds of flavored snacks, which have remarkable economic benefits and become an important pillar of the tourism economy of Confucius Temple and the local characteristic culture. In recent years, KFC, McDonald's and other western-style fast food have been introduced one after another, and some night market stalls have been reserved, forming a new dining pattern of combining Chinese and western food, high middle and low grade. Today, Confucius Temple has become a famous "food center".

Confucius Temple Food Street was built in 1997 with a total investment of10.50 billion yuan. Located at the southern end of Confucius Temple, it starts from Pingjiangfu Road in the east and ends at Laiyan Road in the west. Different architectural shapes, high and low, small blue bricks and tiles, white walls and sloping houses, simple and elegant, integrated with the ancient buildings of Confucius Temple. The internal facilities are first-class and quite modern. Both sides of antique granite pavement are inlaid with colored square bricks, diamond-shaped flower beds, winding corridors, garden-style squares and classical low street lamps, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere. There are a number of well-known catering and entertainment enterprises along the street, such as Yixian Flavor Xuan, Yixian Xuan Ming, Jinlingchun Restaurant, Confucius Temple Lekangcheng, Qinhuai Family and Egret Hotel. There is a gathering of delicious food from home and abroad. Combined with the construction of food street, the ancient residence of Wang Xie, which shows the culture of the Six Dynasties, was built, Wuyi Lane was restored, a new landscape area was formed, and the scenic area of Confucius Temple was expanded.

The Confucius Temple complex consisting of Confucius Temple, Gong Xue and Jiangnan Palace Garden is the essence of Qinhuai scenery. Mingyuan Building is one of the buildings of Gongyuan, which is located in the middle of Gongyuan. It was originally used to monitor the behavior of the examinee and whether the employees in the hospital have facilities to transfer joints. "Mingyuan" means "pursue the distance with caution, and return to the original". There is a couplet hanging downstairs in the south, which was written by Li Yu, a famous scholar during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. The title is: "If you carve strict words, watch the gentleman crouch down and wait, and the ministers will do their best; In the same month, I like people here and have a panoramic view. " From the couplets, we can also see the purpose and function of setting up Mingyuan Building. There are three gold characters "Mingyuan Building" hanging on the gate, and "Jinling Gong Yuan Monument" embedded in the outer wall, which records the history of the rise and fall of Gong Yuan.
