Today's Wanshou Mountain was named Wengshan in the Yuan Dynasty. Legend has it that an old man dug a stone urn full of treasures on the mountain and got his name. There is a lake called Wengshanpo in front of the mountain. A.D. 1292 (twenty-nine years from Yuan to Yuan), the scientist Guo Shoujing dug the Tonghui River, and collected the spring water from Changping and Xishan into the lake and injected it into the palace wall to help transport water. Wengshanbo has become a reservoir for water use in Beijing. From here to the Ming Dynasty, many influential temples were built around the lake, among which Dacheng Temple, located on the northwest bank of the lake, was the largest. Wanshou Mountain is magnificent, and the white marble Diaoyutai extends into the lake. The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty often went boating and fishing here.
