城市湖泊的兴废,与城市的繁荣发展有着密切的关系。杭州历史上除了城外自唐代以来盛名远扬的西湖之外,在城内还有一个南湖。在宋代时,随着杭城经济文化向城北拓展,南湖成了当时名士大夫优游之所,声名雀起,时称“赛西湖”。但是,城市经济的繁荣发展,又使南湖遭受侵蚀,由湖一变而为池,最后竟至于堙废。 The revival of urban lakes is closely related to the prosperity of the city. In addition to outside the city outside the history of Hangzhou since the famous West Lake, also has a South Lake in the city. In the Song Dynasty, with the economic and cultural development of Hangcheng to the north of the city, Nanhu became the place where famous doctor was famous at that time. However, the prosperous development of the urban economy has caused the erosion of Nanhu, changing from a lake to a pool, ending up as a wasteland.
