Tianping Lake, formerly known as Dahe Reservoir, is located in the western suburbs of Tai'an. I don’t know if anyone would follow the trend and change the name to Taishan West Lake. In local terms, it is the level of Laiwu. No, Laiwu is also called Xihai, which is much bigger than the lake. This level is far worse than Laiwu.
Changing the name to West Lake is obviously a nod to Hangzhou, but with your towering Mount Tai name, do you deserve to be a nod to the gentle hometown in the south of the Yangtze River? Don't apply the same trick, you will lose your big teeth! Lost their own culture.
To add color to that place, only Taishan gave him the name, not to mention the splendid culture contained in the word Taishan. Tai'an is the name of the country where the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
Originally, the name was very taboo, and the name of Tianping Lake is a bit big, but who can live in the town except Mount Tai? If we don’t scream, who dares to scream? Therefore, there are a series of dragon water systems around Mount Tai, such as Tianyi Lake, Tianze Lake, and Tianlong Lake. Shandong men shouldn't imitate other beauties from the south of the Yangtze River to show off their appearance. Even the original name of the Dahe Reservoir still has the artistic conception of the river flowing up and down, which is much better than the copied West Lake. What's more, the peace of the world in Tianping corresponds to the peace of the country and the people in Tai'an.
Similarly, there is the Longxi Hotel by Tianping Lake. It was said that it would be renamed Wangyue Yingbin Hotel, and it immediately felt like a welcome lady in the county.
The north is short of water. This is a geomantic treasure land at the foot of Mount Tai. No matter whether it is garden design or naming, don’t mess with it. Finally, I still emphasize: I’m not afraid of being uneducated, but I’m afraid of being arty!
In my personal opinion, it is not as good as Tianping Lake or Taiping Lake. Taking Tai'an West Lake feels like a high imitation of Zhejiang West Lake.
Tianping Lake is good, Tai'an means peace and prosperity for the country and the people, Tianping means peace in the world, West Lake is a bit kitsch and has lost the consistent naming idea.
Taian already has East Lake and South Lake, so it is very suitable to change Tianping Lake to West Lake. Besides, to the north is Mount Tai, forming the unique landscape of Tai'an with three lakes and one mountain.
It should still be called Tianping Lake. The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful. [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]
Let’s call it Tianping Lake, because Tai’an has formed the name of the water area into a series of "天" characters: Tianping Lake, Tianyi Lake, Tianze Lake and Tianlong Lake, etc. In fact, every city has its own West Lake. There are 36 West Lakes in various parts of my country, including 9 in Zhejiang, 4 each in Guangdong, Hunan, and Sichuan, 3 in Jiangxi, 2 in Hebei, and 4 in Fujian. One each in Yunnan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Shandong and Shaanxi. In addition, there is also West Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. If Tianping Lake is called Tai'an West Lake because it is in the west of Taicheng, it is often the same as East Lake and South Lake. It is similar to how in the past, when there were many children, they would call them Zhang Laoda, Li Laoer, Wang Xiaosan and Li Xiaosi. There is no feeling of name anymore. Of course, since West Lake is the symbol of Hangzhou, if it is called Tai'an West Lake, outsiders will naturally compare it with Hangzhou West Lake, which is really self-inflicted.
I have not been to Tai'an, but judging from the name, Tai'an West Lake should better reflect the value of Tai'an! If you have the chance, be sure to visit Tianping Lake and Tai’an West Lake. After reading thousands of books, you also need to travel thousands of miles to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge
This is the whole picture of Qingmuchuan Ancient Town. It was taken last night. I like to travel and take photos and videos. Because I like it, I love it. In addition, now that I am retired, I have free time to walk around and see a lot.
Taishan West Lake has a good name. A few days ago, I accidentally found a photo of me and my comrades taking a cruise in the Dahe Reservoir thirty-five years ago. It clearly said: Taishan West Lake. It seems that this name was used many years ago. I have already used it, and then I remembered that Tai'an East Lake was built in 1986. It is not far east of the military subdivision and close to Dongguan Village. It was said that Dongguan Village funded the construction at that time. I went to see it with my comrades. After taking a look, I felt it was quite small, incomparable to the Dahe Reservoir. The surrounding area was built with stones, and it was quite neat and square. The Dahe Reservoir was quite far from the city at that time, and there were no facilities around it. There are not many buildings on both sides of the road to the west of the Shan Hotel. In front of the Yubei Building is the barracks of my army. The location is the current Guoshanshu Community. The area around the liquefied gas station in the south is also relatively desolate. To the west, the two deepest memories are , Dahe Reservoir and Dahe Cotton Mill, have changed too much now. Only Taishan Middle School still has a shadow of the original. Development is the last word. I feel that Taishan West Lake can better reflect the value of Tai'an!
Tianping Lake was originally a unique thing in Tai'an, but it was renamed Taishan West Lake after others. This name sounds like a second-hand copycat version, vulgar and without any cultural elements. Many regional names with cultural symbols in Tai'an were never consulted by the citizens. They were just casually mentioned by officials. Do you have the level of an official? Do you have culture even though you are a senior official? The patriarchal consciousness and style of the official family are out of tune with the times.
Living in Tai'an, with Mount Tai behind me, based on the Tianping Lake and Taishan West Lake pointed out in your question, I think this question should start from the Dahe Reservoir, and slowly look at how this reservoir changed from a reservoir to a The lake changed from a lake to a park, and from a park to a scenic spot.
Dahe Reservoir is well known to old Tai’an people, including many citizens today. The construction of this reservoir began around 1958 and was completed and put into use in 1960. Its main function at that time was flood control and irrigation. , plays the role of water storage, because it is backed by Mount Tai, also known as: "Dai Lake".
In the past few years, with the development of the city's tourism industry, the place was renamed: Tianping Lake. The surrounding tourism supporting facilities have gradually been improved, forming a tourist-specific Tianping Lake Park. It attracted many citizens to see the transformation of the "Dahe Reservoir". At that time, Tianping Lake Park had already played many roles, including tourism, water supply, power generation, etc. The city is developing and growing in scale. On May 1, 2020, Tianping Lake Park officially became the Taishan West Lake Scenic Area.
Nowadays, the Taishan West Lake Scenic Area has more complete tourism supporting facilities, and the most attractive thing should be the "highest" fountain in Asia. It became extremely popular during the May Day holiday, and the fountain hit the circle of friends and major news media.
I think that both Dahe Reservoir, Tianping Lake Park, and today’s Taishan West Lake all have the value of the times. They represent a certain period of time. However, what we see is becoming more and more beautiful and beautiful. It has more and more tourism value, and only progress and development can reflect the true value of Tai'an!
