Shangyu:
In the later period of the patrilineal clan society, Yu Shun, the leader of the tribal alliance, came to the present-day Baiguan Town to avoid the rebellion of Tang Yao's son Danzhu, and The Wenwu Hundred Officials came with Shun, because there were Baiguan Bridge monuments and the place names of Baiguan Town. Also, Shun and the waiting meetings were in trouble, and because they were entertaining (Tongyu) happy, they were called Shangyu. The name "Shangyu" comes from this.

Lianghu Town:
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a small pond in the Nanhua Mountain Village of Shangyu City, which would flow out a steady stream of water all year round, the pool water was clear, sweet and refreshing to drink, and I heard that there was also a cure for diseases. One year, the weather was particularly hot, the nearby rivers were dry, the crops were dying of thirst in the fields, and the people were so hot that they rushed to the waterhole to quench their thirst. It is also strange to say that although countless people come to fetch water and drink water every day, but today the pool water is shallow, tomorrow it will rise again, in this very dry season, the pool water is always full, as if it will never dry up. Ordinary people call this pool a "life-saving pool.".
It is said that at that time, there was a landlord in Huashan Village named Li Menggeng, who was a local tyrant, and for several years, relying on his ferocious means, he went everywhere to rob and plunder, exploit the common people, and the gold in his family became a mountain, and the number of silk satin was uncountable, but he was not enough, seeing that this pond was so good, he became greedy and wanted to take the pond as his own. Li Menggeng thought about going, looking for an excuse to dominate the waterhole.
After a few days, Li Menggeng suddenly said that he wanted to build a walking horse building and invited Mr. Feng Shui to come to see the place. Mr. Feng Shui pretended to walk around the village for a while, pointing to the place where the waterhole was, saying that this pool of water does not dry for four seasons, symbolizing that the wealth and qi of the four seasons are very strong all year round, and it is a treasure of feng shui. Li Menggeng listened to it and laughed, immediately recruited workers, and built a house with a large number of civil engineering. He built the waterhole in his back garden, surrounded by elaborate granite carvings, planted flowers and trees, and when it was offered like a treasure, the villagers were never allowed to come closer.
The weather is so hot, the crops in the field have no harvest, and now even the water can not be drunk, how can the villagers live! Days passed, and because there was no water, many villagers died of thirst. The people united to ask Li Menggeng for water to drink. However, Li Menggeng did not sympathize with the villagers at all, and the people who went to ask for water were beaten out by him, and said that they would drink his pool water unless they bought it with money, one bowl of money. The villagers don't even have food to eat, where is the money to buy water to drink! Everyone was indignant, but Li Menggeng's wealth was great, and no one dared to provoke him.
Dozens of miles away from Huashan Village, there is a Liang Ao Village, living a young man named Liang Hongshan, who has a particularly strong strength since childhood, and is righteous, likes to fight unevenly, and the surrounding people like to ask him for help. Liang Hongshan often went to Huashan Village to work as a short-term worker, and when he saw Li Menggeng so domineering, he had already held his stomach in his heart. On this day, as soon as he arrived at Huashan Village, he heard the cries of Ah Yuanjia, a villager in Huashan Village, and a large group of people inside and outside. It turned out that Ah Yuan's mother was about to die of thirst, and Ah Yuan went to ask Li Menggeng for water, but instead Li tied up and broke a leg. Hongshan listened, screamed angrily, dragged a stick and walked towards Li Menggeng's house. When the villagers saw it, they also rushed up with hoes, ploughs and other agricultural tools. Everyone rushed to Li Menggeng's house, beat him up fiercely, snatched a large truck full of water, and forced him to swear to open the waterhole from now on. Li Menggeng cried and swore an oath. Seeing that he agreed, the kind villagers also let him go. But who knew that this Li Menggeng was extremely cunning, and the next day he immediately brought a large number of wolf-like family members to guard the waterhole, raised 28 wolf dogs to patrol around his house day and night, and also reported to the officials. The villagers hated to itch their teeth, but Li Menggeng was so careful to guard against it, and it was not so easy to go in and grab water to drink!
Among them, the most angry person is Liang Hongshan, he thought, this Li Menggeng is so hateful, I have such a great strength, it is better to dig a tunnel, go straight to the bottom of the waterhole, and bring all the water in the waterhole over, so that everyone has water to drink! When it was said, Hongshan saw the direction and began to dig up underground that night. He dug and dug, digging for seven days and seven nights, digging with broken hands and swollen legs, but he kept digging. By the eighth day, the tunnel was getting wetter and wetter, and droplets of water were oozing out. Hongshan thought happily, it's almost here! Almost there! Suddenly, he came across something hard, and the hoe knocked on it, and it couldn't move. Hongshan took a closer look, only to see that this thing was like a bamboo shoot drilled out of the ground, with a sharp tip and a round bottom, stronger than jade and harder than stone. Hong Shan thought, I have dug here, how can I give up halfway! He tightened his clothes, spit two mouthfuls into his hand, and lifted the strength of his whole body, "Hey" knocked on the thing. Just listening to the earth roaring, from the depths of the ground came an earth-shattering cry, only a blink of an eye, the earth became a wang yangze country, the water of the waterhole continued to flood up, flooded up, flooded the Li family's mansion, flooded the Li family's hundreds of acres of fertile land, and gradually merged into a big lake. It turned out that there was a green dragon sleeping under the waterhole, so the waterhole would not dry up all year round, and the thing that Hongshan had encountered when digging the tunnel was the horn of the green dragon, and he cut it down hard, alarming the sleeping dragon, and as soon as the green dragon turned over, it turned over the land above and turned it into a big lake.

The awakened Qinglong was in pain and was about to get angry at Liang Hongshan, and the villagers quickly knelt down to explain the reason. After knowing the truth, the Green Dragon grabbed Li Menggeng, who was hiding in the crowd trembling, and jumped up and threw him to the ground. It is also strange to say that the ground where Li Menggeng fell instantly sank, and the water underneath gushed out, immediately submerging Li Menggeng, and it also became a big lake.
The villagers cheered and rejoiced, but they were happy, and now they no longer had to worry about running out of water! When they eased up and looked for Liang Hongshan, Hongshan was gone and never returned. Some people say that he rode the green dragon to heaven. In order to commemorate Liang Hongshan, people called the lake he dug "Hongshan Lake", and the village where the lake is located is also called "Hongshan Lake" Village. Where the bully Li Menggeng fell, people called it "Soap Lee Lake" (soap is "cover"), so that evil can never be turned over. The emergence of the two lakes has solved the draft problem of the surrounding people, because Hongshan surname Liang, but also liang a villager, in order to commemorate him, people collectively call "two lakes" as "Liang Lake".
