What is Slender West Lake in ancient times?

Slender West Lake was originally called Protection Lake. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the salt industry in Yangzhou flourished. Due to the long-term siltation of the center of Slender West Lake, salt merchants paid for dredging, and many pavilions and pavilions were built on the east and west coasts.

Slender West Lake is a strip landscape composed of cities and cities from different eras such as Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing. It has always maintained an interactive relationship with the Grand Canal.

Twenty years after the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty (1815), the salt industry in Yangzhou declined, and the gardens on the lake gradually became depressed and abandoned.

The northern section of Slender West Lake (Jiuquchi to Xichuntai) is located east of the West City of Tangluo City. During the Jian'an period in the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Kaijun became the new river in Lianhua Ridge. The southern section (two river lines from Xiaojinshan to Dahongqiao) is the Dacheng West Moat of the Song Dynasty; the middle section (Lianhua Bridge to Xiaojinshan) is the first prefect Yin in the 10th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. In the 22nd year of Qianlong, the Salt Supervisor successively presided over dredging. The west side of the Lotus Bridge is called the Lotus Gengxin River, and the Lotus Bridge was built like this.

Slender West Lake experienced wars during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and was in dilapidated condition. During the Guangxu period, Wuting Bridge and Xiaojin Mountain were restored.

In the ninth year of the Republic of China, Taigong Chen built Fuzhuang on the east side of the bridge. In 2010, it was rated as a national 5A-level scenic spot with the highest value in China's tourism industry, and it was also the first national 5A-level scenic spot in Yangzhou.
