History

In the 1970s Yang Shifang (杨世芳), head of the People's Government of Ningxiang, planned to build a reservoir for irrigation, flood control, electricity generation and fish farming. Due to poverty, the government mobilized the masses and used a large amount of human resources to complete the build rather than use heavy construction equipment.
