Whenever I go to Qiu Lai in spring, the breeze is slow, the sky is high and the clouds are idle, the clear water is rippling, geese are dancing and birds are singing, and the landscape is picturesque, which not only makes people in the past linger, but also attracts some emperors and literati to enjoy the scenery, fish and keep hunting here.
In the case of drought and little rain, people often flock to the pool to burn incense and pray for rain, which has a good effect and adds a mysterious color to Tianchi.
The ancients thought that Tianchi had the power to rain on behalf of the sky, so it was named "Tianchi"

According to the legend of Mu, more than 3,000 years ago, Zhou Muyu went to the Western Ocean and once gave a banquet and sang with the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West gave a welcome speech and sang to Zhou Muwang: "White clouds are in the sky and the mountains are coming out; The road is long, between mountains and rivers.
The baby won't die, will it come back? "Zhou Muwang accepted this kind of good wishes and friendly invitation, and he thanked him:" Returning to the east to rule the summer; All people are equal, and I care about you.
Compared with three years, it will return to the wild. "
Because of this, people say that Yaochi is the residence of the Queen Mother of the West.
Later, fairy tales interpreted the Queen Mother of the West as the Queen Mother. It is said that Yaochi also held the annual Flat Peach Festival.
It is also said that the Little Tianchi is the place where the Empress Dowager washes her feet, and the Big Tianchi is the place where she bathes.
According to the research of relevant experts, most of the places recorded in ancient books such as Mu Chuan and Shan Hai Jing can recognize today's place names.
The image of the Queen Mother of the West accurately reflected the historical life of women in matriarchal society in the Western Regions at that time.
The lyrical works of poets in the Tang Dynasty made this legend recognized, and Yaochi became more famous.
Tianchi belongs to an ice lake.
200,000 years ago, when the Earth Ice Age came, Tianchi became a valley glacier.
Due to the excavation and damming of glaciers, the lake basin of heaven and earth was formed. After the weather gets warmer, the glaciers recede into lakes, which is the cause of Tianchi Lake.
