Introduction to the Taozu Temple inscription: When the three lakes were first formed, the middle lake had no real name. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a Taoist priest came here and saw the distant mountains soaking, low trees following the waves, fish and birds leisurely, and reed leaves. Shake it, it’s so beautiful in the south of the Yangtze River. So they settled in a cottage, went around asking for alms, and built a Taoist temple to worship Taishang Laojun. The lake next to the temple was called Taozu Lake. In the third year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the Daozu Temple was damaged by an earthquake. Its walls were ruined and its walls were gradually covered with weeds. It has been difficult to find its site for a long time.
