Also known as Tang Tao, it is located in the center of Wuhu. Originally a polder and depression, Zhang Xiaoxiang, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, was named Tang Tao out of admiration for Tao Yuanming. Jinghu Lake faces Zheshan Mountain in the north and Yijiang River in the south. For generations, it has been expanding and dredging. Today, the water surface has reached more than 230 mu and the water depth is about 2 meters. When there is no wind, the water is as clear and bright as a mirror. Whenever the sun sets, Zheshan and the lake complement each other, and the pavilion-shaped tower shadow, lakes and mountains are better than a landscape painting. The name "Mirror Lake" comes from this. The graceful weeping willows around the dike, one of the ancient "Eight Scenes of Wuhu", "Jinghu Xiuliu" refers to this scene. After Qingganlong and Jiaqing, teahouses, restaurants and pear gardens lived by the lake, with rows of doors and lanes, and horses and chariots were the most prosperous. There is a mound by the lake, named "Yuyandun", and there are several pavilions for tourists to enjoy the scenery and enjoy tea. It was once called "the best place in the city". The Buyue Bridge and the Jiuqu Bridge divide Jinghu Lake into large and small lakes, and various scenic spots are scattered among them. On the 0/000-meter-long green belt around the lake, 500-meter-long landscape walls, more than 40 landscape doors and windows, 2 bamboo pavilions, 1 flower gallery, 5 sculptures, 3 fountains, more than 30 combined and single flower beds have been built, and nearly 100 kinds of precious flowers and trees have been planted.
[Appreciation of Ancient Poetry] Liang Zhu, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Hu Song, Huai Yu
Just like apricot blossoms and mangroves. When you twist your fingers, there are countless knots. The desert chun yin is covered with catkins, and one day the wind and rain will disperse in spring. You must stay at home in spring. Paeonia lactiflora cherry is a place to find fragrance. Lian Bi, about 300 acres, left spring with my promise of spring.
Zhang Xiaoxiang is a native of Wuhu, and Jinghu is a poet who donated 100 mu of land to make a lake. After he retired from his hometown, he sent his feelings to mountains and rivers and sent them with poems. The lines of this poem are full of the poet's love for his hometown.
Jinghu Lake looks at Zheshan Mountain in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. When there is no wind, it is as flat as a mirror. The pavilions around Zheshan Mountain and the lake are reflected in the water, and the sky is full of clouds. In the early morning, it was foggy, illuminating people with Liu Xia flowers, and the clothes were fragrant and shaded; At night, the bright moon is empty, the clouds are falling, the bamboo is singing and the lights are green. Different scenery in four seasons: willow leaves in spring, trees in summer, autumn chrysanthemums shining, and winter plums reflecting snow, which makes people wander and daydream.
"There is only one apricot flower and one mangrove tree." It is the season when peach blossoms are red and pear blossoms are white. By the mirror lake, apricot blossoms are in full bloom, the threshold is red, the palace is green, bees and butterflies are flying, and birds are singing. The author, represented by apricot flowers, writes about the beautiful scenery of Jinghu Lake in spring.
"The fingers are coming, and there are countless knots." In a blink of an eye, the green apricots on the tree bear countless fruits. In sharp contrast with the previous sentence, one is red and one is green, which is beautiful.
"The desert chun yin is wrapped in catkins, and it will go in the wind and rain." Spring willows are green and white catkins are fluttering by the lake. "Jasper makeup trees are tall, and thousands of green tapestries hang down." When the spring breeze is wrapped by a spring rain, the thin rain is fluttering softly, which is more affectionate and full of meaning. I didn't feel a trace of sadness, because I was afraid that spring would come back, but there was nowhere to find Fang Fei. The author's longing for spring is vividly on the paper. I am afraid of spring, because I like spring, but I like spring in my hometown, which fully shows the poet's love for his hometown.
"You must stay at home in spring. Peony cherry is a place to find fragrance. " In this "spring breeze and green Jiang Nanan", when you stay in your hometown, you can see traces and patterns of spring everywhere. The Zheshan Mountain by the lake is lush and full of peonies and cherries, which is a good place to go for a walk in search of spring. These two sentences are written from lake to mountain, from low to high, which is very layered and gives people a three-dimensional sense.
"300 acres of land around Lian Bi, with my promise of spring, stay in spring." The poet's eyes returned to the lake from the mountain. 300 acres of Tang Tao (that is, Mirror Lake) is surrounded by pearls, green, thin and red. In the lake, the lotus leaf is a field, the lotus flower sends fragrance, sparkling and the sky shines. Up and down the same color, the scenery is harmonious. In the face of this beautiful spring scenery in my hometown, the author can't help but send out the inner call of "Come with me in spring". Under the call of the poet's true feelings, spring is naturally full of promises.
Zhang Xiaoxiang wrote about the unique scenery and emotional appeal of Jinghu Lake, which read as if he was there, and let future generations appreciate the natural beauty of Jinghu Lake.
The beauty of Jinghu Lake is that it contains the poet's loyalty to the country and his love for his hometown. It condenses the poet's majestic character, leaving behind a romantic charm, which shines today, thus giving it eternal inner beauty.

[Modern Prose] People who have been to Wuhu pay tribute to Jinghu Lake, which just adorns the downtown area. "Urban streets and scenic spots are only a stone's throw away; Go shopping at the front door and enjoy the scenery at the back door; In China, there is only Wuhu, and there is only Jinghu Lake in Wuhu. " This is not an exaggeration. From the central square in front of Jiujiang Hotel in Wuhu City to the east, or from Wuhu-Zhongshan Road Commercial Street to the east, it is only a few tens of meters, and you can walk to the Jinghu Lake with weeping willows and yiyi, while Zhongbaiyi Store is just the front door facing Zhongshan Road and the back door facing the clear water of Jinghu Lake.
In the southwest corner of Jinghu Lake, there is a poem hill named "Yuyandun". On the dock, the trees are towering and the red building is hidden, beautiful and quiet. The famous writer A Ying's library showroom and his monument are here. Separated from Yanyu Wharf is a small cruise port, namely "Liu Chun Garden". Rockery, bamboo, flowers and plants are scattered all over the park, and the stone path is tortuous, surrounded by railing cement brick flower walls; The edge of the garden is inlaid with a wooden plaque, and the word "Liu Chunyuan" runs rampant with vigorous brushwork, which is the handwriting of Liu Haisu, a famous painter in China.
Walking around the lake from Liu Chunyuan, the children's palace accompanied by melody and the paradise for the elderly accompanied by birds and flowers came to the "Guanlan Pavilion" scenic spot. Here, cloisters, rockeries, zigzag bridges and other arches highlight a two-story pavilion. On the pavilion on the second floor, leaning against the railing and looking north, across a vast lake, you can see the lush Zheshan Mountain, which is reflected in the water. It's really green mountains and green waters, sparkling shadows and natural flavor. "Mission Hills Pavilion" also got its name.
In fact, strictly speaking, Jinghu Lake is two lakes, because a broad green embankment divides it in two. However, there is a hole in the lake under the "Buyue Bridge" in the center of the levee to connect the two lakes. The arch of this footbridge is very high. From a distance, it looks like a full moon, half on the water and half under the water. Walking on it is naturally a poetic "stepping on the moon". Standing at the top of the footbridge, looking forward and looking back are all beautiful scenery, but the best time is at night when all the lights are on. If you come to the bridge on a rainy night and look around, you will see the shadows of the buildings by the lake and the beautiful street lamps by the lake, all of which are thrown into the dark green water in the lake. In the water, the shadows of the lights are elongated, swaying into fluttering red silk with the overflowing water waves. The thin spring rain seems to add a layer of transparent space to the scene before us. Between the separation and non-separation of trance, it gives people a better feeling: what a crystal-like world, blurred lights! This is a night of intoxicated spring breeze and torrential spring rain!
The ancients said: the mountain is famous for its fairy, and the water is spiritual for its dragon. As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows of the soul, so there is a saying that "the finishing touch". I think the aura of Wuhu was born in the rippling mirror lake water; It is also appropriate to say that Jinghu Lake is the window of Wuhu's soul and the place of expression. Who knows the true face of Wuhu, don't you think?

[Folk Literature] Zhang Xiaoxiang, a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, was very clever in his childhood, with a strong memory, diligent in reading and tireless. He often goes to Tang Tao, not far from home, to study and practice calligraphy. Tang Tao used to be a swamp, full of reeds and cattails. It is usually quiet, but it is also a good place to study. But one year at the turn of spring and summer, the frog's drums were particularly loud, breaking the quiet environment. People think there is a frog god who comes here to burn incense and pray. Some people are afraid of beating reeds and cattails, but Zhang Xiaoxiang didn't believe this at all, so he came here to study. One day, Zhang Xiaoxiang was concentrating on practicing calligraphy here, but the frogs were getting louder and louder, which was deafening. Zhang Xiaoxiang felt uneasy. In a rage, I grabbed the inkstone and threw it into the water. I only heard a "plop" and then it was banned. People were very surprised when they learned that, so they named it "frog-free pool" After finishing the middle school entrance examination, Zhang Xiaoxiang built a "Home Returning Hall" next to Tang Tao, drinking with literati, writing poems and entertaining friends, and gradually became famous. After winning the first prize in one fell swoop, Zhang Xiaoxiang, who has deep local feelings for Wuhu, generously donated 100 mu of land to form a lake, planting trees, flowers and fish as a good place for hometown people to visit.
