Lixia Pavilion has a long history, has gone through vicissitudes of life, and its location has also changed several times. From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Lixia Pavilion was located at Wulongtan. It was called "Guest Pavilion" in Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu" and was built by the government to receive guests. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was called "Lixia Pavilion". In the fourth year of Tianbao (AD 745), the poet Du Fu went to Linyi to visit his younger brother Du Ying. He was on the way to the south of the economy. It happened that Li Yong, the governor of Beihai, who had been friends with Du Fu in Chang'an during the Kaiyuan period, came to Ji and hosted a banquet for Du Fu in this pavilion. As for the famous people in Jinan, Du Fu immediately wrote a poem "Accompanying Li Beihai to banquet in the pavilion": "The Eastern Fan is stationed in Zaigai, and Beizhu faces the Qinghe River. This pavilion on the right side of the sea is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan. Yunshan has developed, but the jade pendant is still there When singing. The bamboos are not in charge, and the communication is full of joy. What will happen to the setting sun? The first line of the poem describes Li Yong's stay in Jinan. "Xiating", the second sentence explains the ancient history of Lixiating. At that time, the direction was west as right and east as left. Jinan was to the west of the sea, so it was called Haiyou. Because Jinan has a large number of historical celebrities such as Bao Shuya, Zou Yan, Fu Sheng, Fang Xuanling, etc., and because there were Jinan gentry, Jian Chushi and others present at the time, many celebrities were praised. The following poems describe the scenery inside and outside the pavilion, the taste of the banquet, and the emotion that the sunset is about to disperse and the hospitality is hard to come by. Li Du feasted and composed poems in the Lixia Pavilion, which made the ancient pavilion on Haiyou famous. The couplet "This pavilion on Haiyou is ancient, and there are many famous people in Jinan" has become the pride of Jinan for thousands of years.
According to the "Book of Tang" records, in the first year of Tianbao, Qizhou was changed to Linzi County, so the pavilion was also called "Linzi Pavilion" at that time. Du Fu's "Eight Poems of Sorrow: Presented to Li Gongyong, Secretary of Jiangxia Supervisor" contains the poem "I once came to Linzi Pavilion". By the end of the Tang Dynasty, Lixia Pavilion was gradually in ruins. When Zeng Gong was in Qizhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, he rebuilt Lixia Pavilion, which was located behind the state government residence on the south bank of Daming Lake. Afterwards, it went through several ups and downs. In the early Qing Dynasty, Li Xingzu, the salt transport envoy from Shandong, purchased the property of Squire Ai on the current site on the island in the lake and rebuilt it in the 32nd year of Kangxi (AD 1693). Its scale is larger than before, facing south from the north, and its forehead is called "Guli Pavilion". After the completion, an earthen platform was built to the west and south of the pavilion, and three pavilions were built. The west of the pavilion was a wide water area. Under the clear sky, the sky and water were blue, so it was inscribed "Azure Pavilion". Since then, the scale and shape of Lixia Pavilion have changed.
