Dawn Moon over Reed Pond 　　During the Spring and Autumn Period, Shanghe County was part of the State of Qi and was known as Maiqiu Yi. Today, a section of the ancient city wall remains in the center of the county town, with newly built blue-brick battlements atop it. Below lies a clear pond, in the middle of which is a desolate island covered with lush reeds and alive with birdsong — hence the name “Reed Pond.” At dawn, with the last stars fading and the morning moon reflected on the water, people walking along the shore feel as if the moon follows them. As the sun rises, the sky blazes with rosy clouds that chase the moon — a truly splendid sight.
