Mochou Lake was called Hengtang in ancient times and named Shicheng Lake after Shicheng.

Mochou Lake was called Hengtang in ancient times, and it is also called Shicheng Lake because it is close to Shicheng. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, after Liang Wudi (AD 464-549) wrote Song of Water in Hedong, the beautiful legend of Mo Chounv has a long history, so Shicheng Lake was renamed Mochou Lake. Mochou Lake has been known as "the first lake in the south of the Yangtze River" and "the first scene in Jinling" since the Song Dynasty. Zheng Banqiao praised its scenery: "Ruyan Liu Lake, the lake cloud is like a dream, and the lake wave is thicker than wine." There is even a poem by Yuan Mei that praises: "If you want to compare with Mochow, it is difficult to judge right and wrong from Yan Bo; But I feel that the West Lake is being lost and the river is flying outside. "In the Republic of China, Mochou Lake listed Mochou Misty Rain as the first of Forty-eight Scenes of Jinling.
In 2004, the Nanjing Municipal Government approved the master plan of Mochou Lake Park, and defined the park as a scenic park displaying historical culture and classical architecture. The planning goal is to enlarge and refine the classical gardens, expand the historical and cultural connotations such as Mo Chounv and Shengqilou, and build them into well-known tourist attractions and comprehensive cultural parks in China. The plan divides the park into "North and South Scenic Areas", namely, the classical garden tour area, the Haitang Garden, the leisure activity area, the landscape area around the lake and the garden management area. Mochou Lake will be better in the future. "ah! The beautiful melody of "Mochow, Ah, Mochow" will be more pleasing to the ear.
