This incident shocked the heaven, and because of the false performance of the sea dragon king, the jade emperor sent heavenly soldiers to take the fairy back to heaven. The fairy reluctantly left Huizhou.
On the way, in order to make Huizhou have water to cultivate and leave beautiful scenery on earth, she threw her beloved bronze mirror on the bank of Dongjiang River.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Zhuo, the prefect of Huizhou, built a pavilion on this round island called Huguang Pavilion, which was also called "Boat Pavilion" because it looked like a boat. During the reign of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Guangdong Navy and Zhang, the magistrate of Huizhou, jointly built a new pavilion around the island, named "Shuixie".

When ancient scholars visited the West Lake in Huizhou, they would row boats from Yue Ming Bay to this pavilion to enjoy the moon, leaving behind "several frost trees decorated with kapok, and the waterside pavilion was like a painting boat. Wine-like banquets are held among diners, and romantic here does not count money. "

Huizhou West Lake was a wilderness in the Eastern Han Dynasty, while longxing temple was built on the lake in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and renamed Kaiyuan Temple in the Tang Dynasty. During the period of Tang Zhongzong, the Sizhou Tower on the Western Hills was built. When Zhang Zhaoyuan lived in Sheren Lane in Huizhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, he named this lake Langguan Lake. Yu Jing of the same dynasty wrote the sentence "The mountains and rivers are complex, the rock valleys are looming, the long flow is gentle, and the lake is beautiful", which is one of the earliest beautiful sentences describing the West Lake.
In the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1066), Zhou of Huizhou claimed to manage the West Lake, claiming to build Pinghu levee and Gongbei Bridge on Diancuizhou, as well as Grain Rain Pavilion and Huguang Pavilion, and irrigated the fields with fish. Therefore, the West Lake is called Hufeng Lake.

In the second year of Shao Sheng's reign (1095), he wrote Five Poems of Jiang Yue, which was the earliest poem with the theme of Huizhou West Lake. Among them, there is a famous sentence "more than one mountain spits the bright moon, and the jade pagoda lies in the blue sky." In the same month, he called Hu Feng the West Lake in A Gift to Tan Xiu, which was the earliest source of the name "West Lake". Therefore, Huizhou West Lake became famous under the spread of Su Shi's poems.
