Which province is Liangshan in Shui Bo, 800 miles away?

Liangshan is located in Shandong Province, at the junction of Taian, Jining, Heze and Puyang, Henan Province.

There is a beautiful lake in Shandong called Dongping Lake, which is said to be the famous Shui Bo in Liangshan. However, according to records, there was a Shui Bo in Luxi, which was much bigger than Dongping Lake, during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

According to the description in the Water Margin, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Gao Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the dynasty, led 654.38+ 10,000 troops to conquer Liangshan, and the huge Hailong warship built by the loyalist in the form of maritime warfare came in handy on the lake of Liangshan, Shui Bo. Such a large-scale battle took place in Shui Bo, so you can imagine the scale of Liangshan waters.

According to the description in the book, the 800-mile Liangshan Shui Bo, which is connected by depressions and swamps, provided excellent geographical conditions for Liangshan heroes to finally defeat Gao Qiu.

Extended data:

In ancient times, the Yellow River burst its banks many times, causing a considerable number of floods in the middle and lower reaches. Among them, water broke into Liangshan, Yuncheng, Juye, Dongping and other counties, forming the Great Lakes of the Five Dynasties. Later, with the delay of history and the accumulation of floods, the vast Shui Bo in the Song Dynasty was formed.

In the Song Huizong era at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, this large lake became the haunt of heroes, that is, the 800-mile Liangshan Mountain in Shui Bo described in Water Margin. At this time, Shui Bo has expanded to the extreme, and it is magnificent.

Now, the 800-mile water margin has been retired. By the Qing Dynasty, all the counties around Liangshan became farmland in Ma Pingchuan. "Song Gongming's soul returned to Liao Erwa". Liao Erwa here is today's Dongping Lake, located in Dongping County, Tai 'an City, Shandong Province, with a total area of more than 600 square kilometers. It is also the largest relic left by the 800-mile water park to the world.
