The land of China is rich in natural resources.

The five lakes benefit mankind.

China's five famous lakes have played a great role since ancient times.

So what are the five major lakes in China?

The five major lakes in China are Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, Taihu Lake, Hongze Lake and Chaohu Lake.

Zhuge Changqing collected data on five lakes to share.

The five largest freshwater lakes in China are (Zhuge Changqing: The area of the five largest lakes is changing constantly, and the number of lake area is the current basic situation, only for reference):

The largest lake: Poyang Lake [p ó], 3914 square kilometers.

It is located in the north of Jiangxi Province.

The second largest lake: Dongting Lake, 2820 square kilometers.

It is located in the north of Hunan Province.

The third largest lake: Taihu Lake, 2425 square kilometers.

It is located in the south of Jiangsu Province.

The fourth largest lake: Hongze Lake, 2069 square kilometers.

It is located in the west of Jiangsu Province.

The fifth largest lake: Chaohu Lake, 820 square kilometers.

It is located in the middle of Jianghuai hills in Anhui Province.

What is the basic situation of the five major lakes?

How did the names of the five lakes come from?

The collected data of Zhuge Changqing's research are as follows:

1： Poyang Lake [p ó], located in the north of Jiangxi Province

Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake, covers 3914 square kilometers.

Poyang Lake, how did its name come from?

Zhuge Changqing found that Poyang Lake was named for its proximity to Poyang County.

Poyang Lake used to be called Pengli Lake, Penglize, Pengze, Penghu Lake, Yanglan Lake and Gongting Lake in ancient times.

Poyang Lake is located in the north of Jiangxi Province and the south bank of the Yangtze River. Zhuge Changqing: The Dragon King of Poyang Lake is responsible for this.

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. It connects the water of Gan, Fu, Xin, Rao and Xiu rivers and the Yangtze River, the largest river in China. Its annual water inflow into the Yangtze River exceeds the sum of the three rivers, namely, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River and the Haihe River.

The rivers that mainly flow into Poyang Lake include Ganjiang River, Fuhe River, Xinjiang River, Raohe River, Xiushui River, etc., and the Yangtze River. During the flood season, the total area reaches 4125 square kilometers. The average depth of the lake water is 5.1 meters, and the deepest depth is 30 meters. The wetland park here is one of the six largest wetlands in the world. There are 41 islands and seven nature reserves in the lake area, which is the habitat of rare birds. 90% of the white cranes overwinter in Poyang Lake, and it is also an important habitat for the Yangtze finless porpoise.

2、 Dongting Lake, located in the north of Hunan Province

Dongting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake, covers an area of 2820 square kilometers.

Dongting Lake, how did its name come from?

Zhuge Changqing's research found that the name of Dongting Lake began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was named after Dongting Mountain in the lake (today's Junshan), which means the immortal cave.

Dongting Lake, formerly known as Yunmeng Lake, Jiujiang Lake and Chonghu Lake, is located in the south of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the north of Hunan Province. Zhuge Changqing: The Dragon King of Dongting Lake is responsible for this.

There are records of "Cloud Dream" in such ancient books as "Historical Records", "Zhou Li" and "Er Ya". Dream is the meaning of "Huze" in the dialect of the State of Chu at that time, which is similar to the word "receive".

Dongting Lake is located in the north of Hunan Province, across Hunan and Hubei provinces, connecting the Yangtze River in the north and the four rivers (Xiang, Zi, Yuan and Li) in the south. It is widely distributed. It once had a grand event of 6000 square kilometers in history, which is known as "800 li Dongting".

Dongting Lake is an important strategic place in history and the birthplace of traditional Chinese culture. There are many scenic spots in the lake area. The historical sites represented by "Yueyang Tower" are important tourism and cultural resources.

Dongting Lake is located in the south of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the north of Hunan Province. It is the second largest freshwater lake in China. The main rivers flowing into the lake are Xiangjiang River, Zishui River, Yuanshui River and Lishui River. The flood season is more than 3900 square kilometers, and the dry season is about 3100 square kilometers. The famous tourist attractions include Yueyang Tower, Junshan Mountain, Dufu Tomb, Yangmiaozhai, Tiejingzhuang, Quzi Temple and other scenic spots, as well as the "lake in the lake" of Dongting Lake, where the lotus seeds are famous at home and abroad.

3、 Taihu Lake is located in the west of Jiangsu Province.

Taihu Lake, the third largest freshwater lake in China, covers an area of 2425 square kilometers.

How did the name of Taihu Lake come from?

Zhuge Changqing found that the name of Taihu Lake originated from the founding emperor of the State of Wu, Taibo. The uncle and uncle of King Wen of Zhou of the Zhou Dynasty set up the State of Wu in the south of the Yangtze River, and established the capital as the city of Tai Bo. Tai Lake got its name because it was close to the city of Tai Bo.

Taihu Lake, also known as Zhenze and Lize, stretches across Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It shows the beauty of nature here. There is a saying that "Taihu Lake is beautiful under the sky". It was formed from a huge meteorite, which fell from the sky like a thunderbolt, laying the foundation for the formation of Taihu Lake, so it was called Zhenze in ancient times. Zhuge Changqing: The Dragon King of Taihu Lake is responsible for it.

In ancient times, Taihu Lake was called Zhenze, Juqu and Lize.

For Yu Ze, there was the saying of Jiuzhou Jiuze in ancient times. Jiuze refers to:

Yunmengze (Dongting Lake), Meng Chuze, Continental River, Leize, Ono River, Peng Lize (Poyang Lake), Heze, Xingze, Zhenze (Taihu Lake).

It is said that Dayu once managed floods in the Taihu Lake area. According to the Shangshu Yu Gong, "When the three rivers enter, the bottom of the earthquake will be set". In the Xia Dynasty, Taihu Lake was still called Zhenze, but in the Zhou Dynasty, it was renamed Juqu, which was mentioned in Zhu You's "Zhenze Fu" in the Ming Dynasty: "The name of Zhenze in the Xia Dynasty, the name of Juqu in the Zhou Dynasty..." Now there is another road in Binhu District of Wuxi called Juqu Road.

The story of Taber running to Wu in Taihu Lake.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Gugongdan, the leader of the Zhou nationality in Xiqi (that is, King Tai of Zhou, the grandfather of Jichang, King Wen of Zhou), had three sons: Taber (also known as "Taber"), Zhongyong, and Jili. King Tai of Zhou likes his grandson Ji Chang (the son of Ji Li) and wants to pass on the throne to Ji Li.

When Taber and Zhongyong learned that, in order to avoid the dispute over the throne, they considered giving way. The two brothers left home and went to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, the south was still undeveloped and relatively backward. Taber brought advanced culture and farming technology from the Central Plains, and was deeply loved by people. He was held as the leader and established the "Gouwu" State, which was the predecessor of the later Wu State. The capital city is located on the edge of Taihu Lake in the area of Meili, Wuxi today, and is called Taiboyi, hence the name of Taihu Lake.

4、 Hongze Lake is located in the west of Jiangsu Province.

Hongze Lake, the third largest lake in China, covers an area of 2069 square kilometers.

How did Hongze Lake get its name?

Zhuge Changqing found that Hongze Lake is named because it is composed of many lakes and lakes produced by flood.

Hongze Lake, located in the west of Hongze County, Jiangsu Province, is developed on the alluvial plain in the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, and is composed of many low-lying lakes. Zhuge Changqing: The Dragon King of Hongze Lake is responsible for this.

Hongze Lake is located in the west of Jiangsu Province, which was named in the Tang Dynasty. It was formed in many small lakes. During the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River seized the Huaihe River (the Yellow River poured into the Huaihe River) once, resulting in a large increase in water volume, connecting large and small lakes and expanding into lakes.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties of China, they were called "Fuling" lakes.

5： Chaohu Lake is located in the middle of Jianghuai hills in Anhui Province.

Chaohu Lake, the fifth largest lake in China, covers an area of 820 square kilometers.

How did the name of Chaohu Lake come from?

Zhuge Changqing found that Chaohu Lake was named Chaohu Lake because of its shape like a bird's nest.

Chaohu Lake, located in the middle of Jianghuai hills in Anhui Province, is the fifth largest freshwater lake in China. The total area is 820 square kilometers. Its source is from Mount Ying and Mount Huo. The main rivers entering the lake are Fengle River, Hangbu River, Zhaohe River, etc. Zhuge Changqing: The Dragon King of Chaohu Lake is responsible for it.

Let's protect the five lakes together, and let our great China be green forever!

中华大地，物华天宝。五大湖泊，造福人类。

……诸葛长青

中华大地，物华天宝。

五大湖泊，造福人类。

中国著名的五大湖泊，自古以来发挥巨大作用。

那么，中国五大湖泊是哪五大湖泊呢？

中国五大湖是：鄱阳湖、洞庭湖、太湖、洪泽湖、巢湖。

诸葛长青集录五大湖泊资料分享有缘者。

中国五大淡水湖是（诸葛长青：五大湖泊面积不断变化，湖泊面积数字为目前基本情况，仅仅作为参考）：

第一大湖：鄱阳湖[pó]，3914平方公里。

位于江西省北部。

第二大湖：洞庭湖，2820平方公里。

位于湖南省北部。

第三大湖：太湖，2425平方公里。

位于江苏省南部。

第四大湖：洪泽湖，2069平方公里。

位于江苏省西部。

第五大湖：巢湖，820平方公里。

位于安徽省江淮丘陵中部。

五大湖泊，基本情况是什么？

五大湖泊，名称是怎么来的？

诸葛长青研究集录资料如下：

一：鄱阳湖[pó]，位于江西省北部

鄱阳湖，第一大淡水湖，3914平方公里。

鄱阳湖，名字怎么来的？

诸葛长青研究发现：鄱阳湖因为靠近附近的鄱阳县而得名。

鄱阳湖在古代有过彭蠡湖、彭蠡泽、彭泽、彭湖、扬澜、宫亭湖等多种称谓。

鄱阳湖位于江西省北部、长江的南岸。诸葛长青：鄱阳湖龙王具体负责。

鄱阳湖是中国最大的淡水湖，上承赣、抚、信、饶、修五河之水，下接我国第一大河--长江。它每年流入长江的水量超过黄、淮、海三河水量的总和。

主要流入鄱阳湖的河流有赣江、抚河、信江、饶河、修水等，连之长江，丰水期总面积达到4125平方公里，湖水平均水深5.1米，最深处有30米，这里的湿地公园是世界六大湿地之一，湖区有41个岛屿和七个自然保护区，是珍稀鸟类的栖息地，90%的白鹤都在鄱阳湖越冬，也是长江江豚重要栖息地。

二、洞庭湖，位于湖南省北部

洞庭湖，第二大淡水湖，面积2820平方公里。

洞庭湖，名字怎么来的？

诸葛长青研究发现：洞庭湖之名，始于春秋、战国时期，因湖中洞庭山（即今君山）而得名，含有神仙洞府之意。

洞庭湖，古称云梦湖、九江和重湖，位于湖南省北部的长江中游以南。诸葛长青：洞庭湖龙王具体负责。

在《史记》、《周礼》、《尔雅》等古书上都有"云梦"的记载。梦，是当时楚国方言"湖泽"的意思，与"漭"字相通。

洞庭湖位于湖南省的北部，又横跨湖南湖北二省，北连长江，南接四水（湘、资、沅、澧），分布广阔，历史上曾经有六千平方公里的盛况 ，有“八百里洞庭”之说。

洞庭湖是历史上重要的战略要地、中国传统文化发源地，湖区名胜繁多，以“岳阳楼”为代表的历史胜迹是重要的旅游文化资源。

洞庭湖位于湖南省北部的长江中游以南，为我国第二大淡水湖，主要流入该湖的河流有湘江、资水、沅水、澧水，丰水期为3900多平方公里，枯水期约有3100平方公里，著名的旅游景点有岳阳楼、君山、杜甫墓、杨么寨、铁经幢、屈子祠等名胜古迹，还有洞庭湖的“湖中湖”莲湖，这里的莲子驰名中外。

三、太湖，位于江苏省西部。

太湖，中国第三大淡水湖，面积2425平方公里。

太湖，名字怎么来的？

诸葛长青研究发现：太湖名字起源于吴国开国帝王太伯。周朝周文王的伯伯太伯，到江南开建吴国，设都城为太伯邑，太湖因为靠近太伯邑而得名。

太湖横跨江浙，又名震泽、笠泽，这里尽显自然之美，有“太湖天下秀”之说，它形成于一颗巨大陨石，陨石自天而降，犹如震雷落地，为太湖形成奠定基础，所以古时候称为震泽。诸葛长青：太湖龙王具体负责。

太湖古称震泽、具区、笠泽。

对于泽，古代有九州九泽之说，九泽指：

云梦泽（洞庭湖）、孟潴泽、大陆泽、雷泽、大野泽、彭蠡泽（鄱阳湖）、菏泽、荥泽、震泽（太湖）。

相传大禹曾在太湖一带治理水患，《尚书·禹贡》记载，“三江既入，震泽底定”。在夏朝的时候，太湖还是叫震泽，但是周朝时改名为具区，这在明代朱右的《震泽赋》中有提到：“夏名震泽，周曰具区……”现在无锡市滨湖区还有一条路叫具区路。

太湖之泰伯奔吴故事。

商朝末期，西岐的周族首领古公亶父（即周太王，周文王姬昌的祖父）生有三子：泰伯（亦作“太伯”）、仲雍、季历。周太王喜欢孙子姬昌（季历之子），欲传位给季历。

泰伯、仲雍知道后，为避免王位之争，就考虑避让，兄弟二人一起离家前往江南，当时南方还未开发，比较落后。泰伯从中原带来了先进的文化和耕作技术，深受人们爱戴，被拥为首领，建立“勾吴”国，即后来吴国的前身。都城位于今无锡梅里一带太湖边上，称太伯邑，太湖也因此而得名。

四、洪泽湖，位于江苏省西部。

洪泽湖，中国第三大湖，面积2069平方公里。

洪泽湖，名字怎么来的？

诸葛长青研究发现：洪泽湖，因为其由洪水产生的许多湖泽联合组成而得名。

洪泽湖，位于江苏省洪泽县西部，发育在淮河中游的冲积平原上，由很多洼地小湖联合而成。诸葛长青：洪泽湖龙王具体负责。

洪泽湖位于江苏西部，唐朝得名。它形成于许多小湖群，宋朝年间发生过一次黄河夺淮（黄河倒灌入淮），致使水量大增，连大小湖泊，壮大成湖。

在我国秦汉时代，它们被称为"富陵"诸湖。

五：巢湖，位于安徽省江淮丘陵中部。

巢湖，中国第五大湖，面积820平方公里。

巢湖，名字怎么来的？

诸葛长青研究发现：巢湖，因为其形状如鸟巢状，故得名巢湖。

巢湖，位于安徽省江淮丘陵中部，是中国第五大淡水湖。总面积为820平方公里。其源头起自英、霍二山，主要入湖河流有丰乐河、杭埠河、兆河等。诸葛长青：巢湖龙王具体负责。

让我们一起保护五大湖泊，让我们伟大中华永远绿水青山！
