According to textual research, the Five Lakes in Xiantao (formerly Mianyang) are the remains of ancient Taibai Lake. Ancient Taibai Lake was probably formed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The earliest written records are unknown, but the famous Chinese geography work Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote "Shui Jing Zhu·Mianshui" "" records: "The Mianshui River leads to the mouth of Zhuanshui in the east, and the water is connected to Taibai Lake in the county in the south. The lake leads to the river in the southeast, which is also called Zhuanshui." There is also a record in "Shui Jing Zhu·Jiang Shui": "The river reaches the mouth of the lake to the left. The water leads to Taibai Lake. "

"Jiajing Hanyang Prefecture Chronicle" written by Zhu Yi in the Ming Dynasty records: "Taibai Lake is one hundred miles west of the county and south of Jiuzhen Mountain." "Its water is connected to Mianyang in the west, and it is vast. More than a hundred miles. In spring and summer, it merges with Xintan, Maying, Putan, Zhuankou and other lakes. In autumn and winter, when the water falls, each lake begins to divide. "The length from east to west is called wide, and the length from north to south is called vast. This shows the area of ??Taibai Lake at that time. The vastness. From the words "the lake leads to the river from the southeast" and "the river flows from the left to the mouth of the lake", the landform where Taibai Lake enters the river in ancient times is by no means a river channel, but connects Xintan, Maying and Putan lakes, stretching for thousands of miles. A vast body of water ten miles away. Therefore, the ancients called Taibai Lake: "The best of the seven lakes, comparable to the Pengli of Dongting." There is also a poem: "Han Mian has no boundaries, but Dongting is supposed to have neighbors." The description in modern words means: There is a lake in the Mianshui River Basin. , the lake is beautiful and vast in scope, comparable to Dongting Lake. There seems to be no boundary between Hanshui and Mianshui.

The geography of Mianyang is recorded in the "Minutes of Reading History and Fangyu" written by Gu Zuyu in the early Qing Dynasty. It is 200 miles northeast of Taibai Lake (Mianyang) Prefecture and connects to the boundary of Hanyang Prefecture. One is Jiuzhenhu and the other is Tuhu. Diving comes from the northwest, and Tuo comes from the south. Its upper reaches include West Lake, Li Lao, Sigang, Shahu, Zhibu, Huangpeng, and Yangming all come together. For more than a hundred miles on Tuesday, it is the Miangjing. The huge dip. Enter the river at the mouth of Zhuan. "Shui Jing Zhu" states that the chaotic water leads to Taibai Lake in Mianyang.

The glorious history of "Ancient Taibai Lake" facing Dongting Lake during the Southern and Northern Dynasties has long since disappeared, and the only remaining body of water is today's Five Lakes. Although it is not as magnificent as the ancient Taibai Lake, the legacy of Taibai still exists. View the lake in spring and the "sea" in summer. Today's five lakes, "the last drop of water from ancient Taibai Lake" are located in the southeast corner of Xiantao City and are the water town of Shahu Town.

It is called a shining pearl in the southeast of Xiantao.
