Lake Xiang Si didn't have a name. On June1958 65438+1October 2 1 day, Xie Juezai, a proletarian revolutionary and poet who was then the president of the Supreme People's Court, visited Guangxi University for Nationalities, just as the acacia trees by the lake were flourishing. Xie Juezai strolled in the quiet and peaceful campus and stood by the lake. When he saw a lush, tree-lined campus where teachers and students of all ethnic groups lived in harmony, he suddenly became very poetic and wrote a beautiful sentence "Looking for acacia from the lake". Therefore, Xiangsi Lake is named after this poem.
