According to Shen Taidi's "Collecting Wind and Spring Day", "Shichahai, Di 'anmen West, the lotus is the most prosperous, and the women gather in June, all on the north bank of Qianhai. Tongzhi suddenly set up a tea shed and added all kinds of things. "The so-called' North Shore of Qianhai' happened in the Tongzhi and Guangxu years of the Qing Dynasty. Later, restaurants were built by building tea sheds, and many houses were built. The location is around the barbecue season restaurant near YinDing Qiao, and the Lotus Market has moved to the levee in the middle of Qianhai. At that time, the surface of Shichahai was planted with lotus flowers, and the shore was weeping willows, with excellent scenery. This market is named after the Lotus Market. The story of "Chronicles of Heaven" in the late Qing Dynasty describes the situation as follows: "Everyone is traveling in Shichahai, and most of them have gone to the market recently, so skirts are vying for it. In the long summer sunset, the fire umbrella began to fold. Liu Yin bends before the wind. A few seats are vertical and horizontal, and the tea melons are messy. Ten hectares of glass, rolled and dissolved. Hey, a branch, fragrant Ran Ran. " Painted as a charming and thought-provoking gouache painting. It was not until 1990 that the Lotus Market was rebuilt and opened in Beijing. Mr. Qi Gong, a famous calligrapher, inscribed the plaque of "Lotus Market" and hung it on the archway in front of Haixi Street.
