Five Lakes (China)
The Five Lakes or Wu Hu (), is a Chinese historical and geographical concept that has been used to describe various lakes in China.
The Five Lakes most commonly refer to are five freshwater lakes in eastern and central China: Lake Tai in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hongze Lake in Jiangsu, Lake Chao in Anhui, Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, and Dongting Lake in Hunan.〔(Chinese)(中华五湖 )〕
In several ancient texts, including the ''Rites of Zhou'' and ''Records of the Grand Historian'', the term was used to describe only Lake Tai.〔(Chinese)(史記今註, Volume 6 )〕 Various sources have described other lakes as the Five Lakes.〔(Chinese) ("五湖" 中國古代地名大詞典 )〕 One European 19th century encyclopedia identifies West Lake in Zhejiang as one of the Five Lakes in place of Lake Chao.〔(Georg Lehner, China in European Encyclopaedias, 1700-1850 ) p. 106〕
==Idiomatic expression==
In modern parlance, the idiom the "five lakes and four seas" is used to describe a vast domain, such as the entire country or the entire world.〔(Tan Chung, Chinese say all within four seas are brothers and sisters ''Shanghai Daily'' ) 2013-12-07〕
