Historical evolution

In the Jin Dynasty, Yuyuantan Park was a scenic spot in the northwest suburb of jinzhongdu city; in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, there were such scenic spots as "yangzun forest spring" and "fishing river song" pursued by feudal literati and officials for seclusion and elegance.

In 1773, the lake was dredged to receive water from Xiangshan river. In addition, a sluice was built at Xiakou to store and discharge water from the lake. The river was diverted from Sanli River to Fuchengmen moat. There is a palace in the East. The lake is silted up and overgrown with weeds. After liberation, with the Yongding River water diversion project, a new lake of about 10 hectares was dug in the old Hunan, which is like a gourd and named Bayi lake. There is an experimental hydropower station in the downstream. The East and West ends of the new and old lakes are connected, which can not only divert water, but also store water.

On August 4, 1958, Yuyuantan, the former experimental farm of agriculture and forestry of Beijing Agricultural University, was handed over to the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture. With the approval of Liu Zhonghua, director of the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture, it was taken over by the greening department.

In February 1959, after the establishment of the Fisheries Office of the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture, the water surface of Yuyuantan was used to carry out aquaculture business such as fish culture and reed planting.

On January 12, 1960, the greening Department reported 27 small parks and green spaces under its jurisdiction to the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture and named them Yuyuantan Park. Signs were set up and the park was officially opened to the public. In April, the Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture established the Yuyuantan Park Management Office according to the instructions of the Beijing Municipal Party committee. On July 22, the seal of "Yuyuantan Park Management Office of Beijing Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture" was put into use. At the end of September, the aquatic products office of the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture handed over the management of the park's water surface, aquaculture and fishing areas to the first green brigade.

In 1961, the aquatic products Office unified the management of the water surface of each park under the bureau to carry out fish farming business. The water surface of the park was once again put under the management of the Fisheries Office, and a 10 member fish culture class was set up. Apart from water surface culture, the operation of other industrial and administrative organizations of the park is still in the charge of the first brigade of the greening department.

On March 18, 1963, Yuyuantan Park was put under the leadership of the aquatic products office for tree maintenance, garden appearance sanitation, business services and surface aquaculture, and listed separately.

On April 27, 1964, the aquatic products office of the Bureau of landscape architecture was abolished, and the two parks of Yuyuantan and Zizhuyuan were merged to establish the Yuyuantan Zizhuyuan Park Management Office. The management office is located in Zizhuyuan Park. As a team of the management office, Yuyuantan Park arranges more than 20 employees for daily management. "Yuyuantan Zizhuyuan Park Management Office" lasted for seven years.

On October 16, 1978, Fu Shouqian and Feng Jie, two comrades of the Municipal Planning Bureau, jointly wrote to the Beijing Municipal Party committee, pointing out that there are serious problems in the current management of Yuyuantan Park, and it is urgent to establish a park management office under the leadership of the Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture.

On February 26, 1979, the Beijing Municipal Revolutionary Committee decided to transfer Yuyuantan Park from the Municipal Bureau of water resources to the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture. On March 15, it officially took over and established the Yuyuantan Park Management Office of Beijing Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture. On April 11, the seal of "Beijing Yuyuantan Park Management Office" was put into use, and the organization of the park gradually formed, entering a relatively normal period of development.

In March 1980, the office meeting of the municipal Party committee decided to build Yuyuantan Park into "Yuyuantan children's Park", set up a leading group, and carried out many corresponding planning and design for this purpose. On May 4, at the report meeting commemorating the 61st anniversary of the May 4th movement, Wang Renzhong, Secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, announced that the municipal Party committee had decided to transform the 160 hectare Yuyuantan Park into a youth activity base.

On December 28, 1982, the foundation for commemorating Song Qingling's national honorary president held its first meeting in Beijing at the Great Hall of the people. The meeting decided to build a Song Qingling children's Science Park in Yuyuantan Park.

On September 15, 1983, Liao Xiangchun, deputy secretary of the Party committee of the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture, announced at the general meeting of the park's staff: "from now on, the Management Office of Yuyuantan Park will be abolished and the Preparatory Office of Beijing SongQingLing children's Science Park will be established." The preparation office is still under the unified leadership of the Municipal Bureau of landscape architecture.

On December 4, 1986, the management system of Yuyuantan Park was under the leadership of Soong Ching Ling Foundation.

On November 24, 1988, Yuyuantan Park Management Office was restored. The seal of "Yuyuantan Park Management Office" and "Song Qingling children's Science Park preparation office" should be used at the same time, and the use scope of "Song Qingling children's Science Park preparation office" should be narrowed. Since then, the ownership of the six-year-old park management system has been clarified.

Around 1990, the park began to arrange landscape on a large scale. 14 varieties were introduced from Northeast China, Shandong and other provinces. More than 2000 cherry blossoms were planted in the park.
