Dianchi introduction
Dianchi Lake, known as Nanze in ancient times, also known as Kunming Lake, is one of the three national key protected lakes. Located in Kunming, Yunnan Province, as of June 5438+February, 2022, the elevation of the lake is 1886 meters, and the drainage area is 330 square kilometers. It is the sixth largest freshwater lake in China and is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau".
There are three explanations for the origin of the name Dianchi Lake. According to the records of Huayang Guozhi Nanzhong in the Jin Dynasty, Dianchi Lake was named because it was "deep and wide, low and shallow, like flowing back, so it was called Dianchi Lake". Another way of saying it is that ancient scholars thought that the sound of "point" was the same as that of "point", meaning "Ding Chi", that is, the pool was on the highest highland. The third argument is that "Dian" is the largest tribe in this area, and the name of "Dianchi Lake" goes down in history.
