Poems describing four springs in Xiangshan Mountain

Located in the east of Xiangshan and the west of Jingmen, it is divided into four famous springs: Meng, Long, Hui and Shun. Spring water gushes from crevices, flows into Civilization Lake, then into Zhupi River, around the city and into the Han River. Mengquan and Hui Quan were already scenic spots in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Xiangshan was originally named Mengshan, and Mengquan was named after the mountain; Hui Quan is still warm in winter, which is conducive to sprouting springs, hence the name Hui Quan. During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1068- 1077), Cheng Peng, a scholar of Hanlin, carved a spring on the north side of Mengquan when he was in Jingmen. This place was the secluded place of Lao Laizi, a famous Taoist priest in Chu during the Warring States Period (now Lao Laizhuang). Lao Laizi is one of the "twenty-four filial sons" in folklore, and the deeds of filial piety to his parents are well known, so Peng took the opportunity to call this newly carved spring Shunquan according to Lao Laizi's filial piety. However, the spring water has been silted for a long time, and it was not completely dredged until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736- 1795), and the word "Shunquan" was chiseled on the stone wall behind the spring, and a filial pavilion was built next to the spring. In the 11th year of Qing Qianlong (1746), the magistrate Shu built a stone bridge on the Zhupi River at the eastern foot of Xiangshan. He dug a new spring between Mengquan and Hui Quan, and a stone tablet engraved with a poem written by Lu Yuan, a famous Jingmen, during Xining period in the Northern Song Dynasty: "The water spring has deep merits, and the stone sinus is a through eye." When I was young, it was rainy and rainy, and it was quiet in Bailong Palace. "Shu named the newly carved spring Longquan according to the last sentence of the poem, and named this stone bridge Lailong Bridge. The four famous springs in Xiangshan are rich in minerals and belong to hard water type. Water resources are abundant and of high quality, and will not dry up all year round. It is an important source of urban domestic water and industrial water in Jingmen city.

[Appreciation of Ancient Poetry] Meng Quantang Li Deyu

This spring is too clean to accumulate fiber scales.

What are the benefits of the Qing Dynasty? Make yourself poor with insufficient and potential.

The secret color is hard to know, and the beautiful jade is hidden.

If we can't reach the Yellow Sea, is there still Tianjin?

Li Deyu is a famous figure in Huichang, Tang Wuzong. He was in power for six years. He is a eunuch inside and a secluded swallow outside. He is a Uighur and a peaceful Zeru. It was once praised by Li Shangyin as "a good face through the ages". It's a pity that Li Chen, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, and Hu Ling became a country, which violated the decree carried out by Li Deyu in Huichang and excluded dissidents. Li Deyu was released as our ambassador to Jingnan. This poem was written when he was in Jingnan.

The first sentence is Yin Mengquan. Mengquan, the spring water is clear. There is a saying in Su Xun's poem "Mooncherry" in the Song Dynasty: "A trickle pours, and the wind is clear and the gas is positive. Shihongjing is dust-free and has three feet of snow, which can be used as evidence. " This spring is so clean that it will never accumulate dirt. " As the saying goes, there are no fish in clear water. The spring water in this spring is so clear that there is no fish scale at all. Adverbs "Tai" and "Xian" boast that things are vivid. Why did the poet seize this clear spring to write an article from the beginning? He wrote in another "Autumn Night in Chang 'an": "Every household is silent, and the moon is clear. "At that time, the poet was a minister, and he touched romantic poetry with" dew in the moon ":it symbolized the poet's noble sentiment, like dew in this month; Isn't the mood just like the moon dew? But what about now? When the traitor came to power, the poet's nobility was defiled.

So the second couplet asked, "What are the benefits of purity? It is self-poverty. " The poet asked himself and answered himself, and the paper was full of angry words. If people are too lofty, they will be envied by mean people. A secret mind is the root of poverty. "The wood in the forest is beautiful, and the wind will blow it." Qu Yuan, who has the charm of an orange tree, was ordered not to move, "horizontal but not flowing", and the result was self-sinking. The talented Li Deyu could not help being released. Therefore, it is also the Qingming described by the poet. The former is joy and the latter is anger.

But if Li Deyu is confined to anger, it becomes a kind of pure vulgarity. The first turn of the third link: "The secret color is hard to know, and the beautiful jade is hidden." With the brilliance of Ming Ji and Mei Yu, it shows that Baoyu always shines, and the valley is secluded, and there is no fragrance because of the land. Jie Jun, a sage who has the heart to serve his country, should not blind Baoyu's glory because of a little setback, but, like Zhuge Liang, "give his heart to two generations" and do his best until he dies.

At this point, the realm of poetry should be superb, but the poet did not stop to further analyze his inner world. "If we can't reach the Yellow Sea, is there still Tianjin?" The reason why the spring water keeps flowing is because the eyes with undercurrent and grounding gas keep flowing; What about a person? Without the prosperity of the country, it is better to have personal security. The gain and loss of a person's honor is nothing. Only by serving the country can the jade shine and last forever!

The whole poem is full of ups and downs, powerful questions and decisive answers, and an angry but high-spirited and heroic man emerges in front of us, showing great tolerance. It is because of the author's deep personal feelings that he can "persist and come endlessly."

[Modern Prose] In the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, I have accompanied my friends to visit the civilized lake at the eastern foot of Xiangshan for many times. Although Civilization Lake is only 10000 square meters, it is different from many lakes, except that it is an artificial lake made of stones. The lake here is warm in winter and cool in summer. In summer, a sip of clear water from the civilized lake is better than an iced drink in a cold drink shop. In winter, there is a faint mist floating on the lake. In the early years, when there was no limit, many winter swimmers often gathered here. The reason for this spectacle is that the water source of Civilization Lake comes from four famous springs lined up at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain-Huiquan, Longquan, Mengquan and Shunquan.

In spring, the weeping willows by the lake sprout green buds first, and the shadows of trees are reflected on the calm lake. There are several colorful electric boats swimming on the lake, and the small civilized lake is like a delicate bonsai. My friend asked me to take him to explore the source of the lake. We first came to the southernmost Huiquan. The spring platform in Hui Quan is square, and there is a "Liu Qingting" in the center of the spring. In the 12th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen ordered the construction of this pavilion, which was called "the first moon pavilion", and was renamed "Liu Qingting" when it was renovated during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. Standing in the pavilion overlooking Huiquan, the spring is crystal clear, and a string of bubbles appear from time to time at the bottom of the water. When the rainfall is abundant, the gushing spring even overflows the Jiuqu Cloister, so tourists have to take off their shoes and socks and wade through it.

Next to Hui Quan is Longquan. Longquan Pavilion, Platform and Yuan Yu 'e Pavilion were originally built next to Longquan, but they were all destroyed by the war. Now, the resplendent Yuan Yue Pavilion has just been rebuilt. Longquan was discovered hundreds of years later than the other three springs, but its fame is far greater than the other three springs.

A few steps away from Longquan is Mengquan. When I came to Mengquantai, I saw the thick spring water rushing out of the hole, and the flow was so large that the newly arrived tourists were dumbfounded. Probably because Mengquan has the largest flow, many literati in history have left many inscriptions here. Due to the war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, most of these monuments in Mengquan were destroyed. Several stone tablets in Mooncherry, which are now preserved on the mountain platform, were written by Lu Jiuyuan, Zhang Gai and Huang Luzhi in the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Hui in the Ming Dynasty and seven-year-old children in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province in the early Republic of China. Among them, the largest stone tablet stands on the mountain, and the word "Mengquan" is vigorous and powerful, and each word is one meter square, which is worthy of being a masterpiece of calligraphy.

Shunquan is the northernmost of the four springs. Shunquan is now the garden of the municipal water supply company. Under the glazed tile-shaped "Shunquan Pavilion", spring water gurgles day and night. There are some stone tables and benches around the pavilion, surrounded by evergreen shrubs. In the morning, the air here is fresh and the environment is elegant. Old people like to practice boxing here. In the evening, people who play chess and cards gather in the shade.

The four famous springs at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain have been flowing endlessly for thousands of years, which not only moistened the land of Jingmen, but also nurtured the Chinese descendants here. Throughout the ages, there are abundant products, talented people and splendid culture here. Who can say that it has not benefited from this clear spring?

[Folk Literature] Speaking of the birth of Longquan, there is an interesting legend!

Jingmen city has a history of more than 3000 years. The mountains and rivers here are Zhong Ling, and talented people come forth in large numbers. In the early Song Dynasty, the style of writing was at its peak. Sun He, Sun Wei and Sun Gang became famous one after another and wrote dozens of books. When Lu Jiuyuan was an army officer, he often gave lectures between Mongolian and Huierquan. Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, humanities have flourished. But in the Qing dynasty, the world went from bad to worse and the style of writing was sluggish. Shu, who was then a state shepherd, thought that the vein was not smooth, so he repaired the three warehouses in Britain, erected official towers, built two city gates, repaired the bridge to revitalize the style of writing, and built a dragon bridge to connect the vein. Shu raised funds in many ways and began to build the Dragon Bridge, but the supply of stone was in short supply, and he was very anxious. One night, he had a dream that he was wandering around the lake of civilization, looking for stones. Suddenly, in a trance, he saw an old man standing between Meng and Huiquan. He hurried over and was about to speak when the old man said, "Are you worried about stones?" Right here. Why did he ask? "The old man suddenly disappeared after speaking, and he also woke up from a dream. Later, when he remembered this dream, he asked the masons to dig where the old man stood. Before he dug three feet deep, he found a square stone engraved with poetry. Look at that cave, a clear spring trickles out. When Shu saw this scene, he sighed happily: "This is a test of my dream! Because there is a poem "Longjing Dragon Palace" on the stone, the spring was named Longquan.
