There is a golden flower temple near the north side, and the back side of the temple goes to Bishuiguan (between Lianrang) called Yousuo Lane. From Mingyue Bay to the North Gate (now called Dukousuo), there is a meadow on the east side of the road, and the north gate street is on the east side of the meadow. Some big houses have back doors, and horses can be raised on the grass, so they are called big stables. The lakeside of Huancheng West Road is all made of granite stones or red stones to form dikes; There are many dikes from Pinghu Gate to North Gate.
It's damaged. There is a big pier near Pinghu Gate and West Lake, which can be used for pumping water and boats. There are smaller docks on both sides of the dock, which can be used for laundry. In summer, children play in the water here. There is also a small pier in the south of Huizhou Hotel, where nearby residents wash clothes and fetch water for their daily use. There is also a wharf to the north of Huangtangqiaotou (Chengongdi). The water here is clean and drinkable. The whole road is covered with trees, and from Tong Yuan Qiaokou to Li Qingyuan, trees are shaded. From Li Qingyuan North to Pinghu Gate, there are many acacia trees, which bloom twice in spring and summer, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing. From Pinghu Gate to Gongbei Bridge, there are few trees, except Yue Ming Bay, where there are many trees, including cotton trees and neem trees. However, during my stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the nearby houses were bombed and burned, and the rubble fell in Yue Ming Bay, forming a rubble field.
1938, the Japanese invaders captured Huizhou city, the North Gate armory was bombed, many new cars were bombed, and the corner of Baihuazhou in West Lake was also bombed. The west side of West Lake Hotel (now Wanghulou, Huizhou Hotel) was also bombed. Jinxiu Bridge, built in 1937, was blown up at the same time as Dongxinqiao when the Japanese invaders evacuated Huizhou in 1938. The west bridge was partially blown down, and the piers were broken, leaving only a few iron bars hanging on the west bridge deck. People had to nail several wood truss into a springboard and hang it on the broken bridge. Qiaoxi Market, diagonally opposite the bus station in Gong Xian, was also bombed by Japanese planes. The crater is four or five meters deep and covers an area of more than 50 square meters. Many houses in the right lane of Pinghumen North Street were damaged in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and there was not a house from Pinghumen to Zhuzi Lane that was not burned or destroyed. Several houses with gardens and courtyards in Zhuzi Lane were all destroyed. Zhuzixiang, also known as Zhuzihang, takes the homonym of Huizhou dialect. From Zhuzi Lane to Hualan Lane, there is only one mansion, which was demolished in the 1990s because of the parking lot of West Lake Hotel. Hualan Lane, also known as Malan Lane, is a homonym of Huizhou dialect. Before 1978, the alley nailed to the door was named "Hualan Lane".
Before 1938, residents lived on the shore of the quiet West Lake, and most of them exchanged labor for their livelihood. From Pinghu Gate to Jindai Street, some residents do small business, and several families rent dinghies and medium boats (bigger than dinghies, covered with bamboo awnings, with small square tables for playing chess and drinking tea) for a living; There are painted boats, commonly known as flower boats, which can carry two or three round tables. One of the owners of these primitive ships lives in Yousuo Lane, and the others live in Paisha. Some charterers also use nets to catch fish and shrimp. In summer, they cut water vegetables in the lake, put them on the docks on both sides of Pinghu Gate, and sold them to pig farmers to feed pigs. Some people not only rent boats, but also work as small carpenters to help people repair doors and windows. There are two companies specializing in wood products, including large and small furniture and farm tools. The other is a shed. Some use mosquito net cloth to make small covers and net small fish and shrimp to sell in the street; There is a kind of white fish that needs to be caught with a bigger net, so there are several nets. Because of the network cable, you have to first
Weaving hemp requires many housewives to do this job and get some salary to help make up for family life. There are also several housewives who sell needlework and knitting, that is, making embroidered shoes, embroidered bags, string pearl handkerchiefs and so on. There are also several families. Men are shop assistants or small businessmen, or teachers. However, since the Japanese invaders invaded Huizhou four times, people in this street have become poorer and poorer.
194 1 After the fall of Hong Kong, many people did not light kerosene (fire water) lamps, so they had to buy camphor oil lighting, and even many people used pine candles for lighting. There is a night market outside Pinghu Gate, selling pears, white bean jelly, herbal tea, tofu and other fruits. When the economy is extremely difficult, some people live in Hong Kong, some people go far away, and some people live on the streets. 1943 during the drought, some people ate bran cakes, some people ate hard rice heads (Smilax glabra), and some people picked bamboo and rice everywhere ... I personally saw some people looking for snails in the rubble of Yue Ming Bay and set them on fire with a tile. At that time, Huizhou epidemic was prevalent, and people who died in the street were buried by the river at Jindukou. There is a family in Zhuzi Lane. This man fishes and catches shrimps. One day, he cooked bad fish and shrimp and soon had diarrhea. The couple and their two children have diarrhea, and Chinese and western medicines are not allowed to eat. They died one after another, but only one daughter-in-law survived because she didn't eat this meal when she returned to her parents' house.
After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, there were only three flower boats left on the shore of Pinghu, namely Kangle, Hutian and Little Peng Ying, and there were fewer boats without winning the boat. Although Jinhua Temple was destroyed, it can still be maintained and used. A primary school opened in the temple through the back door, presided over by Mr. Liang Jingqiu, an old man of the Revolution of 1911, and another teacher named Liao. These students are poor children. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/949, Mr. Liang and others were too old to continue their studies. Most of the students went to the primary school attached to Huishi with interns from Huishi, and the tuition fees were free. Because the primary school attached to Huizhou Normal University (Hufeng College), parents are afraid that their children will have an accident playing in the water by the lake, so they don't recruit first-year students. In the north of Huang's study, there is a youth primary school. Huang's study room is taught by a private school teacher, with a small number of students, but there are still children from nearby families who are out of school. At that time, the United States Relief Agency assisted in setting up a children's reformatory in the foothills south of Zhunti Pavilion (Chongdao Mountain). The hospital accepts children from poor families in Huizhou. My childhood friends, Zhong XX Yuan, who lives diagonally opposite my house, and Huang, who lives in the sand, all went to the hospital and worked part-time in the hospital. 1947 On Christmas Day, my classmates and I went to the hospital to play and saw them singing Christmas songs. Then I saw the paper mill. The girl went up the mountain to cut grass, and the man made paper with straw, and then dried the cut grass in the fireplace to make papyrus. After liberation, the hospital was dissolved. According to Huang, an American woman went to the hospital to recognize a "volunteer boy" and gave him $5 as a gift. Later, "Ma Qi" sent Hong Kong dollars from Hong Kong, and later, the customer sent "seven sons"
Take it to Hong Kong and then transfer it to the United States. When he arrived in America, Qizai sent some money home, and there was no news soon.
After the liberation of Huicheng, children who didn't go to school can study at night schools run by Jinhua Temple. 1950 autumn, with the support of Gong, the director of the ancestral hall, the affiliated primary school opened a school in Gong's ancestral hall to expand enrollment, and poor students can get free admission funding; Coupled with the youth primary school in the north of Huang study room, this solves the problem of children going to school in Huancheng West Road and its vicinity. 195 1 In May, the "Dongjiang People's Library" was established in Cangsheng Temple on the north side of Pinghu Gate. The wind of civilization also blows the lake. At that time, the outdoor tea stalls from Pinghu Gate to Yue Ming Bay were also expanding, especially in summer, where people could enjoy the cool and enjoy the lakes and mountains during the day. This is a good place for people to meet their friends after work, because the lake wind blows at night, which makes them relax and happy and chat with each other.

The West Lake Department Store was built on Zhongshan West Road (now the pedestrian street), the West Lake Hotel was built on the south side, and the Hushan Hotel was built.

198 1 year and 1985, in order to prevent sewage from flowing into the west lake, a canal was opened between Qiaotou and Ferry in Tong Yuan, and the cement pavement was further paved. 1987, cement chairs are set at the lakeside of Huancheng West Road. With the development of reform and opening up, Hushan Hotel was transformed into Huiying Building, and then Jinxiu Building was built. Dongxing Hotel moved to the May 4th intersection, and Huizhou West Lake Hotel was also built on the south side of Zhuzi Lane. 1974 Huizhou Mansion, which was built in Yue Ming Bay, was blocked by the lake view.
