Who can tell me the history of Yangcheng Lake and Puppet Lake in Kunshan City. How long did it take for them to take shape? Ask God for help

There are five lakes in Bacheng City. The most famous is Yangcheng Lake, which is famous for its rich crabs, followed by Puppet Lake, Eel Lake, Bacheng Lake and Zhicheng Lake. Whether it is from geography or landform, They are both her twin sisters. Puppet Lake is located between the original Zhengyi Town and Bacheng Town, close to Yangcheng Lake. It is currently listed as a first-class water resource lake in Kunshan, and most of the city's tap water is taken from there. Speaking of this weird lake name, not many people know its origin. In fact, it has two names. People on the west coast call it Puppet Lake, and people on the east coast call it Limao Lake. The word "puppet" is named after the ghost show, while the "hat" is named for its defense against evil. Like Yangcheng Lake, Puppet Lake was originally a city and a small town. The Shui people were killed in an earthquake in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, farmers often found ancient rubble jars when they were making mud in the lake. People often went to the bottom of the lake to dig out the black mud made from trees to make mud cakes to replace coal cakes. In many places, you can clearly see the stones at the bottom of the lake. street. Yangcheng Lake was originally called "Yangcheng Lake", but now the tail of that city still exists, and her name is Bacheng. Next to Yangcheng Lake on the west bank of Puppet Lake, there is a large flat-topped mound on the lakeside, which is more than fifteen meters high and more than a thousand meters in circumference. According to legend, Huang Banchuo, an actor during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was buried here, hence the name Chuodun. Mountain. Huang Banchuo was good at acting in military dramas. He often performed with the poet Zhang Hui, which once caused a sensation in the imperial capital. In his later years, Huang lived in the south of the Yangtze River, visiting wealthy families, and left many beautiful songs for the gentry and singing girls in this area. They were very popular at the time and were respected as "zhengsheng" in various places. It is said that they later developed the Shuimo tune of Kun Opera through mutual discussion. For hundreds of years, every time the spring breeze blows green on the south bank of the river, folk opera troupes will go to Chuodun Mountain to perform performances in memory of it. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, puppet theater was popular in this area, so the word "puppet" was used as the name of the lake. But where did the name Li Mao Lake come from: Puppet play is a ghost show. In ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation, there were few cross-strait exchanges. People on the east coast were often plundered by lake pirates, and some sporadic small villages near the lake gradually declined. Therefore, in order to ward off evil spirits, a stone statue wearing a big hat was erected on the east bank of the lake, facing Chuodun Mountain in the distance, watching and protecting the people. Therefore, people on the east coast call it Limao Lake. (Xu Xiaodong)
