Later, there were various names such as Qianshui Lake, Qiantang Lake, Ming Sheng Lake, Jinniu Lake, Hanshi Lake, Shang Hu Lake, Kongtong Lake, Fangchi Lake, Xizi Lake, Gaotu Lake, Xiling Lake, Longchuan Lake, Xiaojinguo Lake, Ren Mei Lake, Xianzhe Lake and Yueming Lake, but only two were generally recognized and documented in the past dynasties.
First, because the lake is west of Hang Cheng, it is named West Lake. The earliest name of "West Lake" appeared in Bai Juyi's two poems. The West Lake returned to Gushan Temple in the evening to present guests, and Hangzhou returned to the boat. After the Northern Song Dynasty, most famous poems were named after the West Lake, and the name of Qiantang Lake was gradually unknown. Su Shi's Seeking the West Lake in Hangzhou is the first time to use the name "West Lake" in official documents.
