　　"White Horse Lake is sunny in autumn, and Zi Ling is like a golden flower." This is the scenery across the Purple River described by Liu Yuxi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he was relegated to Changde. In the 1980s, with the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, the beautiful scenery in the poem once disappeared, and the crossing of the Purple River turned into a closed stinking ditch. Since 2006, after nearly 12 years of renovation, the blue waves have once again rippled on the Chuanzi River. Nowadays, the urban ecological landscape built by the purple river and the water makes the citizens feel the birds and flowers in the noisy city. This "green belt" adds a touch of bright color to this livable city.

　　It runs through the Purple River and connects with Liuye Lake, the largest lake in the city. There are about 300,000 residents living on both sides of the river. "When I first moved here, crossing the Purple River was a stinking ditch, let alone walking by the river. Even if I passed by the bridge, I had to walk with my nose covered." Ms. Liu, who lives near the Chuanzi River, told reporters that she moved here in the early 1990s and witnessed the changes of the Chuanzi River in the past 20 years, and she felt deeply.

　　Now you don’t have to cover your nose here anymore. The boat pier where pedestrians used to avoid walking is now a good place for leisure. All this benefits from the fact that in 2006, Changde became the first city in China to treat black and smelly water bodies with the concept of sponge city. The first step of treatment is to intercept sewage, and all domestic sewage and industrial wastewater will enter the sewage treatment plant and be discharged after reaching the standard. The second is to purify the water in the rainwater pipe network. This alone is not enough. It is necessary to let the river form a complete wetland ecological chain, let the water breathe and purify itself, so that the river can live. The staff put silver carp, snails and even some turtles, turtles and carnivorous fish into the river to restore the complete ecology of the river.

　　"Ask the canal that clear? Because there is a source of living water. " Changde has reopened the whole "Ren Du Er mai" crossing the Purple River. One end connects the Purple River with Liuye Lake, the inland lake of the city, and the other end connects Yuanjiang, a tributary of the Yangtze River, which rejuvenates the city’s water system.

　　After dealing with the pollution problem of Chuanzi River, Changde Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government built a hydrophilic platform, a sightseeing cruise wharf, a river bank scenic spot and a floating island along the coast, established an ecological circle of fish, insects and waterfowl, and connected the north and south banks with a footbridge to build Chuanzi River into a green park in the center of the city. Finally, the artistic conception of "boating in Langzhou City and raising a glass to invite Sima" was created. On the banks of the 11-kilometer-long Chuanzi River, ancient cities, ancient streets, ancient bridges and ancient docks reproduce the style of Changde ancient city. Bright lights, beautiful performances, cool evening breeze, slow river water, and the vicissitudes of the Purple River have become a beautiful waterway.
