Didn't anyone find that the shapes of the four freshwater lakes on the ground are very similar to those of the four ancient beasts in China?
The four major freshwater lakes in China are Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, Dongting Lake in Hunan, Taihu Lake in Jiangsu and Hongze Lake in Jiangsu. Are their shapes different from those in China myths and legends? Four gods? Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu are very similar.
Dongting Lake Qinglong
Dongting Lake, called Yunmengze in ancient times, has always been the object of chanting ancient poems. Does Meng Haoran have any poems? Cloudy and foggy, hanging over Yueyang City? , highlighting the vast expanse of smoke and weather in Dongting Lake, the shape of Dongting Lake's water surface is very similar to that of the beast Qinglong.
But the original Dongting Lake was not like a dragon, and the water surface was much larger than it is now. Plump? Much more, but later due to the influence of climate and human activities, the water surface of Dongting Lake has been shrinking to about 2820 square kilometers. It is the second largest freshwater lake in China, which is divided into several parts, namely, East Dongting, West Dongting, South Dongting and Datong Lake.
Poyang Lake White Tiger
Poyang Lake, called Peng in ancient times, is the largest freshwater lake in China and the second largest lake in China, which is second only to Qinghai Lake (salt lake) in area. Its water surface image is very similar to the ancient god beast white tiger. Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are the same color? It describes the scenery of Poyang Lake, which is fascinating.
Similarly, the original Poyang Lake was not like a white tiger. What is its overall shape? Full and round? Yes, the water surface is at least twice as high as it is now, but later, due to the influence of climate and human activities, the water surface of Poyang Lake has been increasing? Slimming? It is only half as big as it used to be, but even so, Poyang Lake is still the largest freshwater lake in China.
Suzaku in Hongze Lake
Hongze Lake, called Fuling Lake in ancient times, is the fourth largest freshwater lake in China. Unlike the other three lakes, which have a long history and are getting smaller and smaller, Hongze Lake has a shorter history and is getting bigger and bigger. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were only a few small lakes here. The Yellow River flooded many times in the Song Dynasty, bringing the Huaihe River into the sea. Only by this can these small lakes be connected and turned into a big lake, which is similar in shape to Suzaku.
For this reason, Hongze Lake itself is a suspended lake, and the water surface is higher than the ground. It is said that the ancient city of Sizhou in the Ming Dynasty was flooded, and the water depth was not particularly deep. Most of the sediment below is brought by the Yellow River, so a weir should be built around the lake to avoid flooding.
Taihu Xuanwu
Taihu Lake, formerly known as Zhenze and Wuhu, is the third largest freshwater lake in China. Taihu Lake has a very long history, at least tens of thousands of years, which has bred a lot of people and has been praised by literati in past dynasties. According to legend, boating with teachers in the five lakes refers to Taihu Lake.
Since modern times, due to frequent human activities such as planting, breeding, and building Tianhu Lake, the area of Taihu Lake has been drastically reduced, with a decrease of 1.6 square kilometers in just a few decades, which makes the image of Taihu Lake's water surface similar to that of the god beast Xuanwu.
In addition to the shrinking area, the water quality of Taihu Lake has also been seriously polluted, and cyanobacteria have exploded on a large scale. Water supply crisis? After nearly ten years of special treatment, the water quality of Taihu Lake has gradually improved. I hope everyone will take good care of this one? Pearl? .
Tracing back to the evolution history of the four major freshwater lakes, we can find that these are all given to us by God. Pearl? Everyone is faced with the influence of human activities, and this influence is mostly negative and negative. We need to cherish and protect these freshwater lakes and leave a beautiful green mountain for our future generations.
