On December 17, 1982, the Panjiakou Reservoir, the largest water conservancy and hydropower project in North China with a capacity of 2.93 billion cubic meters and a power generation capacity of 450,000 kilowatts, was basically completed after more than seven years of intensive construction. Located at the junction of Tangshan and Chengde, the Panjiakou Reservoir is a key project for the development of Luanhe water resources, which can bring about multiple benefits: an average of 1.95 billion cubic meters of water can be adjusted and sent to Tianjin and Tangshan each year to solve the industrial, agricultural and urban water needs of the two places, and to reduce the water supply pressure of the Miyun Reservoir; it will effectively control flood disasters and ensure the safety of the Luanhe Bridge of the Beijing-Shanhai Railway downstream. At the same time, the reservoir area can also develop shipping, aquatic products, tourism and other industries. The Panjiakou Reservoir is located at the junction of the three townships of Luotai, Tashan and Dushigou in the west of Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County. This reservoir was approved by the State Council as one of the important projects of "bringing Luanhe into Tianjin". Panjiakou Reservoir is the main project of diverting water from Luan River to Tianjin. It is one of the reservoirs in North China. It consists of a river-blocking dam and two auxiliary dams. The largest area is 72 square kilometers, the deepest is 80 meters, the total capacity of the reservoir is 2.93 billion cubic meters, and the water surface of the reservoir area is 105,000 mu. The mountains on both sides of the reservoir are steep, with strange rocks like forests, which is very steep. The Xifengkou area where the reservoir is located is a strong fortress of the ancient Great Wall. As part of the Great Wall has been submerged in water, a wonder of the Great Wall has been formed - the underwater Great Wall. Before the construction of the reservoir, fish and shrimps jumped here, the rice flowers on both sides were fragrant, the trees were lush, and the scenery was beautiful. It can be called the "Little Jiangnan" of the northern frontier. After the water storage, many natural and artificial tourist attractions have been added, more than 20 large landscapes. The Xifengkou area where the Panjiakou Reservoir is located is a place famous for the ancient Great Wall. With ancient military engineering as the main body, it has formed a series of ancient cultural relics tourist attractions, mainly including "Xifengkou Fortress", "Songtingguan Fortress", "Panjiakou Great Wall" and many legendary ancient sites. In the reservoir area, you can also enjoy four of the "eight scenic spots outside the mouth" in Kuancheng County: snow on Dushan, fish scales, yellow cliffs of Wanta and Dumuxian Bridge. The reservoir is located in the composite part of the southeast tectonic belt and the Huaxia tectonic belt in the Yanshan Mountains. The geological structure is complex. The surrounding limestone, dolomite and a small part of shale rock bodies have shaped a series of strange and colorful peaks and rocks and steep cliffs due to water erosion and folding and faulting. With the background of the vast blue lake, it has formed a ten-mile gallery centered on Puhekou and Jiajia'an, which is almost comparable to Guilin, and a large number of strange-shaped stalactites. It is a first-class landscape that is extremely rare in the north. The reservoir area has more than ten natural scenic spots including "Ten-Li Picture Gallery", "Elephant Trunk Hill", "A Line of Sky", "Crescent Cave", "Elliptical Sky", "Double-Eye Cave", "Turtle Island", "Bangchui Rock", "Tianzhu Peak", "Kulong Mountain" and "Monkey Mountain".

Interpretation of Panjiakou Reservoir from the perspective of Eastern philosophy: In Eastern philosophy, water is often regarded as the source of life, symbolizing flexibility and change. Laozi once said in Tao Te Ching: "The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contending." The construction of Panjiakou Reservoir reflects human respect for nature and harmonious coexistence. The reservoir's functions of water storage, irrigation, power generation, etc., show the virtue of water "benefiting all things", and also reflect the wisdom of "non-contention", that is, while meeting human needs, minimizing damage to the natural environment. From the perspective of Feng Shui, the layout of the reservoir echoes the surrounding mountains and rivers, forming a pattern of "hiding wind and gathering qi", which is conducive to the ecological balance and human development of the region. Interpretation of Panjiakou Reservoir from the perspective of Western philosophy: In Western philosophy, the relationship between nature and humans is often placed under the framework of rationality and control. The construction of Panjiakou Reservoir reflects the ability of humans to transform and utilize nature with the power of science and technology. From a pragmatic perspective, the construction of the reservoir is to meet the needs of human society, such as flood control, irrigation, power generation, etc., reflecting the rational use and management of the natural environment by humans. From the perspective of environmental ethics, the construction of the reservoir has also triggered deep thinking about the relationship between man and nature, that is, how to protect the natural environment and achieve sustainable development while meeting human needs. The concept of "harmonious coexistence between man and nature" in Western philosophy has been reflected in the management and protection of the Panjiakou Reservoir, emphasizing that human activities should follow the laws of nature and pursue ecological balance. In summary, whether from the perspective of "Tao follows nature" and "harmonious coexistence" in Eastern philosophy, or "rational control" and "environmental ethics" in Western philosophy, the Panjiakou Reservoir demonstrates the complexity and wisdom of the interaction between humans and the natural environment.
