Because of the modern Peking Opera "Shajiabang" the beautiful singing of the lyrics "the morning sun is reflected in the Yangcheng Lake, the rushes are put on the rice fragrant shore willows into rows ......" is widely sung, Yangcheng Lake's reputation is spreading even further in all directions. However, where is the exact location of Yangcheng Lake? Here to do a little more detailed description.

According to the "Dictionary" (1989 edition) in the "Yangcheng Lake" entry said: "(Yangcheng Lake) in Jiangsu Province, Wu County, Kunshan and Changshu between the three counties and cities. An area of 113 square kilometers ...... has a band of two polder, the lake is divided into the east, west, in three parts. Famous for producing river crabs."

According to the "Suzhou City Journal" (1995 edition) of the note that: "Yangcheng Lake across Wu County, Kunshan two counties, southwest of the city of Suzhou about 10 kilometers, the southwest end of the riverbanks and the urban areas of the border."

According to "Shajiabang Township" (2013 edition), it says: "Shajiabang Township is bordered by Yangcheng Lake to the south, and the mouth of the border with Suzhou City and Kunshan City."

And according to the Suzhou Daily, published in November 2000, "Where is the geographical location of Yangcheng Lake," the article says: "Yangcheng Lake and Shajiabang town is 10 miles away."

In fact, although the Yangcheng Lake zoning does not belong to the city of Changshu, but it is not as far away as the "Suzhou Daily" account. Shajiabang town south end of the Nansha Village and Xinjing Village from Yangcheng Lake less than 100 meters, villagers say only a field bank distance. Historically, Yangcheng Lake is the traditional fishing and breeding base for fishermen in Shajiabang Town. That is to say, hundreds of years before the founding of the country, the fishing industry in Shajiabang Town ancestors are fishing and crabbing in Yangcheng Lake, only after the founding of the country to settle on land on the north shore of Yangcheng Lake. According to the December 2012 publication of the "Yangcheng Lake Crab Journal" records: "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in Changshu territory, one of the main places of origin is the town of Shajiabang ...... Republic of China, Yangcheng Lake is the town of Shajiabang fishermen traditional fishing waters, many fishermen have been drifting in the Yangcheng Lake for generations to fish and catch crabs for a living. After the founding of New China, fishermen settled on the shore one after another, but the tradition of fishing in Yangcheng Lake continues to this day ...... After remediation in 2009, Shajiabang Town, there are still 75 households of fishermen, undertake to encircle the area of 1500 acres (Yangcheng Lake)."

In summary, Shajiabang Town and Yangcheng Lake is very close, but also the traditional fishing fishermen, aquaculture bases, and still has 1500 acres of aquaculture water, so the "Dictionary" and "Shajiabang Township Zhi" in the expression is not incorrect, the Yangcheng Lake and the town of Shajiabang have always had a close connection.
