Introduction to the Yanshui Pavilion: When Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was the Sima of Jiangzhou, he built the pavilion in the middle of the lake. It was named "Moon-Dipping Pavilion" after the sentence in "Pipa Xing" that "the vast river is soaked in the moon when we leave". In the Northern Song Dynasty, the meaning of "mountain light, water color and thin cage of smoke" was changed to "Yan Shui Pavilion". During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, both pavilions were abandoned. In the 21st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1593), Huang Tengchun, the governor of Jiujiang Pass, rebuilt the Yanshui Pavilion at the former site of Jinyue Pavilion, which is the origin of the current Yanshui Pavilion. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Yanshui Pavilion building was built and abandoned many times. It was not until the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty that the Yanshui Pavilion building reached its current scale.
