How to describe Daming Lake before and now?

Daming Lake is clear, surrounded by dikes and willows, and dotted with lotus pavilions. In the south, Qianfo Mountain is reflected in the lake, forming a natural picture scroll, with pavilions and pavilions along the lake and waterside promenades staggered. In the south of the lake, there is a remote garden that imitates the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River during the period of Xuan Tong in Qing Dynasty. There are curved bridges, cloisters and rockery pavilions in the far garden, which are very elegant. Known as "the first garden in Jinan". There is a noble pavilion on the rockery by the lake, and the scenery of Daming Lake is unobstructed. On the high platform on the north shore opposite the lake, there is the Arctic Pavilion built in the Yuan Dynasty. Looking south from the pavilion, the distant mountains are close to the water, and the balcony is full of smoke trees and pictures. Tie, a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, kept the famous sentence "Lotus on four sides and willow on three sides, a city with mountains and a half city with lakes", which vividly revealed the beauty of Daming Lake.

Daming Lake has been famous all over the world since the Tang Dynasty. Ceng Gong once wrote a poem in the Song Dynasty: "Ask me where to avoid steaming, and I can see the West Lake in ten hectares." It can be seen that this place is already a summer leisure place. In the fifth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1072), when Ceng Gong was well-known in qi zhou (now Jinan), in order to prevent floods, he built the North Watergate and introduced the lake water into Xiaoqing River, so that the water level of the lake remained constant all the year round, and pavilions, platforms, dikes and bridges were built along the lake, which gradually became a sightseeing landscape. In ancient times, the lake was very wide, and today's Wulongtan area is also included. After changes, from the Jin Dynasty, Daming Lake specifically refers to the lake area in the city.

Yuan Haowen, a poet in Jin Dynasty, was named Daming Lake in Ji 'nan Travel Notes. Daming Lake became what it is today when the city walls were rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. After dredging and renovation in past dynasties, lotus flowers and willows were planted. By the Qing Dynasty, the beautiful scenery of "lotus flowers on four sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and a half city with lakes" was formed. From 65438 to 0958, the Jinan Municipal Government officially turned Daming Lake into Daming Lake Park, dredged the bottom of the lake, built the lakeshore, maintained ancient buildings and planted flowers and trees extensively. After dredging, repairing and expanding, the lakeshore has been built, gardens have been beautified, places of interest have been restored and rebuilt, and teahouses, hotels, cruise ships and amusement facilities have been added. It has taken on a new look and become a famous scenic spot in Jinan and even the whole country.
