Su Dongpo presided over the construction of the levee, which is about the prototype of the levee from Nanping foothills in the south to Qixialing in the north. Although it is a prototype, the six most famous bridges that make up this dike, namely Yingbo, Solan, Wangshan, Dike, Dongpu and Cross Rainbow, have already existed. It is said that these names all come from Su Dongpo's heart. In Su Dongpo's own poems, there is a clear record of the construction of this dike: "I came to Qiantang to expand the lake green, and the dike women competed for Changfeng." The sixth bridge spans the Tianhan River, and Beishan begins to connect with Nanping. "
Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo presided over the construction of this dike, which became the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, and was called "Su Causeway Xiao Chun". But what is certain is that the Su Causeway that tourists see today is not the Su Causeway built by Su Dongpo. It must have gone through numerous supplementary repairs and afforestation. For example, during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, when the Lixi Lake was built, Yang and Yang used part of the silt dredged from the West Lake to supplement Su Causeway. In other words, the beauty of "Su Causeway" today cannot be achieved by Su Dongpo alone.
In order to remember Su Dongpo's achievements in dredging lakes and building dikes, later generations called this north-south long dike Su Causeway. On the morning of spring, the willow bridge filled with smoke and willow gauze chirped several times, announcing the early spring in Su Causeway, and there was a folk Sang Song: "Six suspension bridges in the West Lake, one willow and one peach." Su Causeway Xiao Chun in the "Ten Scenes of West Lake" is named after this.
