Hangzhou West Lake Source Legend:
Legend has it that a long time ago, Yulong and Jinfeng in the sky found a piece of white jade on Xiandao near the Milky Way. They pondered together for many years, and white jade became a bright pearl. Wherever this orb goes, trees are evergreen and flowers are in full bloom.
However, when the orb was discovered by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sent heavenly soldiers to take it away. Yulong and Jinfeng hurried to get the orb, but the Queen Mother refused, so a fight broke out. As soon as the Queen Mother's hand was released, the pearl fell to the ground and became a sparkling West Lake. Yulong and Jinfeng also descended to the world and became Yulong Mountain (Jade Emperor Mountain) and Phoenix Mountain, guarding the West Lake forever.
Legends are legends after all. According to the geological explanation, the West Lake evolved from a lagoon. According to records of the west lake, the West Lake was originally named Wulin Water, also known as Ming Sheng Lake, Jinniu Lake and Qiantang Lake. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called the West Lake because it was in the west of Hangzhou. After the Northern Song Dynasty, the name of the West Lake was officially recognized. The West Lake was originally a bay. Due to the long-term accumulation of sediment carried by river tides, the bay is isolated from the sea, forming a lagoon, which eventually becomes a semi-closed shallow landscape lake after continuous dredging construction.
