溱湖国家湿地公园位于江苏中部的里下河地区，地处泰州市东郊，2003年开园，2005年11月被国家旅游局批准为国家AAAA级旅游景区，同年被国家林业局批准为国家级湿地公园，成为江苏省首家，全国第二家国家级湿地公园。景区总体规划面积26平方公里，这里水草丰茂，远古时期曾是珍稀动物麋鹿群居的乐园。

Qin Lake National Wetland Park locates in the Lixia River area in the middle of Jiangsu Province, and is in the eastern area of Taizhou city, which was opened to public in 2003 and was approved as the National AAAA level Tourist Attraction by the National Tourism Administration, and was approved as the National Wetland Park by the State Forestry Administration at the same year, which became the first National Wetland Park in Jiangsu province and the second in the whole country. The overall planed area of the scenic spot is 26 square kilometers. It used to be the gregarious paradise for moose in ancient times.

“莫道江南花似锦，溱潼水国胜江南”。秀丽的环境、淳朴的民风、厚重的文化，奠定了溱湖的人文底蕴。南宋岳飞曾在此驻军抗金；元末张士诚于此起兵反元；抗战时期陈毅部属管文蔚与国民党将领李明扬曾在湖上泛舟夜谈，会商抗战大计。此外这里还流传着世代农夫渔民无数轶事传奇。

―Regardless of the flowery area in the south of the Yangtze River, for the Qintong water area is much better‖. Beautiful environment, honest folk custom and profound culture, established the cultural inner secrets of Qin Lake. In history, the General Yue Fei in Southern Song used to garrison here to fight against Jin dynasty; Zhang Shicheng used to raise troops and fight against Yuan dynasty in here at the end of Yuan dynasty; Guan Wenwei, subordinate of Chenyi, used to talk with Li Mingyang, a general of Kuomintang, on the lake about the strategies in the war of resistance in the period of the war of Resistance Against Japan. Besides, there are other numberless popular stories and legends about farmers and fishermen in generations.

经过近年来的开发建设，已形成了以溱湖为主体的水环境景区，以“中国麋鹿故乡园”为品牌的湿地生态景区，以“全球生态500佳”为主体的生态农业观光区，以及以溱潼古镇景区、中国溱潼会船节为代表的人文景观区。

Through the development and construction of the recent years, it has formed the scenic spot of water environment with the main body of Qin Lake, the wetland ecological scenic spot with the brand of ―Home Park of China Moose‖, sightseeing area of ecological agriculture with the main body of ―Global Five Hundred Best Ecology‖, and the landscape land of humanity with the representative of Qintong Ancient Town Scenic Spot and China Qintong

6．麋鹿

6. Moose

俗称“四不像”，因其角似鹿、面似马、蹄似牛、身似驴而得名。据《麋鹿生境考察》记载，溱湖地区就是麋鹿的故乡。据考证，从溱湖地区出土的麋鹿化石已达到72块之多，景区现有麋鹿50多头,每年5月，公鹿发情期会有激烈的争斗，胜者为王，可以统管母鹿群。

Its popular name is ―Nondescript‖, which derives its name for its horn seems like deer, face seems like horse, hoof seems like cow and body seems like donkey. According to the record of ―Moose Living Conditions Inspection‖, the hometown of moose is the Qin Lake area. According to the textual research, the fossils of moose that are found in Qin Lake area become up to 72 pieces. Currently, there are more than 50 heads moose in the scenic area. On each May, the heat period of male moose, there will vehement fighting here, while the winner will become the king that could govern the group of female moose.

约在两千年前，我国的封建社会处于鼎盛时期，其时麋鹿家族的繁衍也进入旺季。人们观鹿、驯鹿、食鹿，如同今日农家养猪食肉一般普及。由于种种原因，麋鹿野生种群已在一千年前绝迹，仅剩数百头被驯养在明、清的皇家园林中。1900年，八国联军攻陷北平，生存于皇家园林内最后几头麋鹿终于像战俘一样被带出海外，开始了长达百年风雨飘摇的流浪生涯。从此，960万平方公里的国土上，再也见不到一头麋鹿的踪影。

About 2000 years ago, the Chinese feudal society has been in the golden age, and the multiplying of moose family has entered into the busy season. At that time, the people see the deer, train the deer and eat the deer, which is much popular like today’s farmers breed pigs and eat the pork. For various reasons, the wild moose groups had been ceased out in 1000 years ago, and only hundreds heads are bred in the royal garden in Ming and Qing Dynasty. In 1900, after the Eight Power Allied Force captured Beiping, the last heads of moose were brought overseas like prisoner of war and began their gipsydom for hundreds of years. Thence, on the territory of 9.6 million square kilometers, there are no heads of moose here in China.

但是，伦敦等地的海洋性湿润气候毕竟养活不了麋鹿。20世纪80年代，在世界野生动物基金会的倡议和帮助下，这些流落海外的国家级珍稀动物，万里迢迢从英国重返故园。

However, the oceanicity humid climates in London and other places could not feed the moose after all. In the 1980s, by the sponsorship and help of the World Wildlife Fund, those national level rare animal in overseas returned home from England over a great distance.

麋鹿是一种食草动物，夏季常常栖息于沼泽地中，避暑降温，避开吸血昆虫的叮咬，喜爱潮湿、耐寒，冬季在零下15—18℃的环境中，可安全度过寒冬。

它喜爱群居生活，胆小怕人，善于奔跑。麋鹿的皮毛每年换两次，夏季毛为棕色，冬季毛呈灰褐色，每年元旦前后脱角生茸一次，交配时间一般为每年的5到7月份，母鹿怀孕期间，如发现异物怀有敌意侵害群居，公鹿会在巡逻中及时发出声音予以警告，直至冲上去与之搏斗。母鹿怀孕期为270到290天，一胎一仔，初生的小鹿常潜藏在草丛中，六个月后可随群生活。公鹿发情期会有激烈的争斗，胜者为王，可以统管母鹿群。

Moose is a kind of herbivorous animal, which usually rests in everglade in summer to avoid the summer and lower the temperature, and avoid the bite of blood sucking insects. It enjoys the humidity and is cold resistant, and it could overwinter safely in the environment of - 15—18℃. It enjoys living in groups, and is timid and afraid of people, and good at running. The fur of moose is changed twice a year, and is brown in summer and dust-color in winter. It will molt and grow antler once before or after the New Year’s D ay. Its copulation date is usually in May and July of each year. If there are foreign matters encroach the group with enmity during the gestation period, the male deer will make sound for alerting during its patrol, and even rush to fight against it. The copulation period of female moose is from 270 days to 290 days with one birth one baby. The newborn fawns usually hide in the tussock, and follow the crowd after six months. During the heat period, the male deer usually will break explosive combat, while the winner will become the king and govern the female deer group.

上海野生动物研究所专门从事麋鹿研究的专家，经过几年来的跟踪研究，认为从麋鹿的生长习性、产仔率等方面来说，溱湖地区比大丰地区更加适应麋鹿的生长、繁衍，因为大丰地区多盐碱地，而我们溱湖是适应麋鹿生长的温湿地，另据考证，从溱湖地区出土的麋鹿化石已达到72块之多，而从大丰地区出土的麋鹿化石只有4块而已，这在真正意义上证实了溱湖地区是野生麋鹿从地球上消失的最后地点，也证实了溱湖地区才是麋鹿的故乡。

After years’ of tracking study, those experts in Shanghai Wild Animal Research Institute, who specialized in conducting the researches of moose, consider from the growth habit, farrowing rate and other aspects that the Qin Lake area is more suitable for the growth and multiplying of moose than the Dafeng area, for there are many kaline soil in Dafeng area while the Qin Lake area is the warm and wet land that is suitable for the growth of moose. Besides, according to the historical documents, the fossils of moose that are found in Qin Lake area is up to 72 pieces while there are only 4 pieces in Dafeng area, which proves in the most genuine that the Qin Lake area is the last place before the moose disappeared from the earth, and also proves that the Qin Lake area is the hometown for moose.
