题三：颐和园昆明湖景区(昆明湖名称含义;西堤;东堤;湖中诸岛) 　　First, let’s visit the kunming lake area. 　　Kunming lake covers an area of 220 hectares. The name of the lake came from: kunming pool in changan, made by emperor wudi in the han dynasy for training his navy. Qing emperor qianlong just followed the example of han wudi and gave the name kunming lake. To the west kunming lake, there is a long causeway on the lake, it is called west dike, patterned after the su dike in the west lake in hangzhou. Along the dike there are six bridges that separate the lake into two parts. 　　The first bridge is the lake boundary bridge. It is the last one on the north end among six bridges along the dike. Because the bridge is located at the diving line of the lake and the outer lake, it is named Lake Boundary Bridge. 　　The second bridge is the local song bridge. Originally, the bridge was called Sangzhu Bridge, which got the same pronunciation as the name of the seventh emperor of the qing dynasty who was empress dowager cixi’s husband. So empress dowager cixi changed its name. 　　The name of this bridge came from an ancient poem written 2000years ago about the labors. The emperor chose this name of the bridge because the emperor wanted to show his concern for agriculture. 　　The third bridge is the jade belt bridge. This bridge is made of marble and granite. Its high-arched body looks like a jade belt, so its name jade belt bridge. Three Chinese characters yudaiqiao were carved on the east and west sides of the bridge in emperor qianlong’s handwriting. 　　This bridge is also the water entrance of the kunming lake. 　　The fourth bridge is the mirror bridge. The bridge was named according to an ancient poem written by famous poet libai of the tang dynast, describing a clear mirror with pure water on both sides. Emperor qianlong also wrote a poem depicting the lake as looking like a mirror. 　　The fifth bridge is the white silk bridge. Again ,the bridge got its name according to an ancient poem.
