The flower pond has a history of many years.

This flower pond has a history of thousands of years.

Lianhuachi Park is an ancient scenic spot. From 65438 to 0045, Zhou Wuwang was enfeoffed to the north, and the farthest thrips (ancient thrips are just in the northwest, about 3 kilometers outside Guang 'anmen) developed in the lower reaches of the lotus pond, which can be said to be the "cradle" of thrips. In ancient times, the lotus pond was called "West Lake", "Taihu Lake" and "Nanhebo", so it was called "Lotus Pond" because of the variety of lotus flowers.

It is the main water supply source of the ancient city of Beijing. Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty said that this place is "the old pool of Yan State" and "a place where you can swim and win". At that time, Beijing West Railway Station in the northeast was called Chunchao or West Lake, with a width of 1km from east to west and a length of 1.5km from north to south. Built in the southwest of Chi in Liao and Jin Dynasties, it is an important water source for the city.

Lotus pond gold used to be called West Lake, and Yan Yanliang moved to Beijing (called Yanjing in Japan) and later changed to lotus pond. The capital of the State of Jin was originally located in Baicheng, Acheng, Heilongjiang, and was named "Shangjing Huining House", which was founded by the founding emperor Yan Yan in115. 1 150 At the beginning of the year, Min's grandson Wan Yanliang staged a coup, killed his cousin Jin Xizong and seized the throne.

A year later, Yan Hongliang announced that it would move its capital south to Yanjing. On the surface, his reason for moving the capital is that it is far from the Central Plains to go to Beijing, so it is not convenient to rule. But in fact, he hoped to get rid of the opposition by moving the capital.

Wan Yanliang said to official Liang, "I planted 200 lotus plants in Beijing. Why didn't I survive? " Liang got the message and replied, "Beijing is cold and Yanjing is warm, so you can grow lotus flowers." Liang also catered, "Yanjing has dominated the world since ancient times, eyeing the Central Plains, which is an eternal inheritance." Yan Yanliang sent Liang and other officials to Yanjing to build a city palace and build a new capital.

1 153, Yan Hongliang officially moved to the capital. He named the new capital "Daxing House in Zhongdu", and now the name of Daxing District in the southern suburbs of Beijing comes from Daxing House in Jin Dynasty. After Wan Yanliang successfully moved to the capital, he planted a lot of lotus flowers in the West Lake to prove that the water and soil climate in Jinzhongdu is indeed better than that in Beijing in the north. The West Lake was renamed Lotus Pond, and the downstream Ximagou was renamed Lotus River.
