The history of the lake name
Bojiwa
Yunlong lake's Garden Dream contains an inscription: "yunlong lake was originally a depression, surrounded by mountains, and it was like a dustpan, hence its name." A dustpan is a household appliance with notches on three sides and notches on one side. People use dustpans to sift out husks and shriveled grains from wheat and rice. Yunlong lake has Yunlong Mountain in the east, Dashantou Mountain and Larry Mountain in the south and Hanshan Mountain in the west, but it lacks a bite in the north and looks like a dustpan. Therefore, it is named "Bojiao" according to its shape. It is said that the name "Bojiwa" has a history of more than 1000 years.
Shigouhu
When Su Shi was the magistrate of Xuzhou, he visited Yunlong Mountain and yunlong lake from Binzuo. Standing on the mountain or by the lake, looking out, a depression is like a big ditch, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the city on one side. Su Shi's poem "Answering the King" said: "Taiwan Temple keeps a good pen, as far as Shigou Zhiqi Team." Shigou refers to yunlong lake. Therefore, it is named "Shigou Lake" because of its shape. Later it was misinformed as "Shigou Lake". The name "Shigou Lake" has a history of nearly a thousand years.
Shigouhu
According to the "Xuzhou Scenery", "Shigou Lake, rainy days, and Nanshan water are all gathered here, and they will not retreat for a long time. It was named Stone Dog Lake because people used to make stones for Dogville. " According to another legend, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, an old stonemason lived by Yunlong Lake. The stonemason kept a big black dog and lived together. One day, the big black dog was killed and skinned by a rich man to reward himself. In grief, the old stonemason went to Yunlong Mountain to find a big stone, carved a stone dog in the shape of a big black dog and put it by the lake. Stone dogs can not only protect their homes, but also absorb water when the lake overflows, spit water when the lake dries up, and protect the people from drought and flood, making stone dogs a god dog. In order to commemorate the stone dog, people call this lake Stone Dog Lake. The name of "Shigou Lake" has a history of more than 400 years. Over the years, although several lakes have been dug and dredged, no stone dogs have been seen so far. I hope that one day, the stone dog will see the light of day again.
Erjiachuan
In March of the second year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1079), when Su Shi was transferred from Xuzhou to Huzhou, he was filled with emotion. In Stop Xuzhou, Go to Nanjing (Shangqiu) and Write Five Poems at once, he poured out his deep affection for Xuzhou's elders and his attachment to Xuzhou's landscape. The fifth song is: "What is the direction of Butian in Shifoshan South Road? There are two rivers and thousands of plants. " This poem. In the poem, Shifoshan refers to Yunlong Mountain, while Erjiachuan refers to yunlong lake, so yunlong lake is nicknamed "Erjiachuan".

Su Shi once said when he was well-known in Xuzhou: "The water in the upper reaches of the Tang Dynasty is injected, and this lake is like the West Lake. "Su Shi once led Xuzhou people to manage lakes and opened up a waterway from Jianquan to Shigou Lake. However, when his wish did not come true, he regretted leaving Xu.
