Lingquan, Lingquan, True Spiritual Spring ,

The spring water flows forever and does not remember the year,

Every year the Dragon King spits out jade,

The jade and green are boundless every day.

It opens with a poem. And when you really stand by the Lingquan Pond, look eastward at the endless stream of Lingquan and Lingshui in the Xinhe River, meditate on the soundless, clear and pure spring, the rippling blue water, and the sparkling waves. You can also look far into the distance and have unlimited reverie , we have to sigh at the majesty of God, the amiability of the Jade Dragon, the luck of creation, and the glory of our generation.

Let’s borrow Zhu Zi’s spiritual poem to summarize the water of Lingquan Pool:

The five-acre square pond is open in a mirror,

The skylight and cloud shadows linger endlessly.

Ask the canal how clear it is,

because there is a source of living water.

The general idea is: This five-acre square pond is like a bright mirror. The mirror can clearly reflect the sky and the floating clouds swimming together. If you want to ask why the water in the pond is so clear and beautiful, it turns out that there are streams of living water constantly flowing out from the spring. This is really the source of Jiaozuo New River - a true portrayal of spiritual springs, spiritual water and spiritual scenery.

Here, I have to make the spiritual land of spiritual spring and spiritual water more schematically realistic. Today's Lingquan Former Land is a planned and implemented Lingquan Lake Wetland Ecological Park in Jiaozuo City that has begun construction. The park borders Fucheng Village to the north, Lingquanpi Village to the east, Dongshang Village to the south, and Xishang Village and Lu Village to the west. The Dasha River in Jiaozuo flows through the Lingquan Lake Wetland from west to east, the South-to-North Water Diversion Sacred Canal crosses the northwest of the park, the Jiaojin Expressway lies due north of the park, Century Avenue in the New District goes directly to the east of the park, and the bus line from Jiaozuo to Ningguo passes by here. This is Lingquan Park, which is under construction in Jiaozuo, and is a very suitable base camp for "independent self-help health care and retirement care".

Lingquan Lake Park is a treasure land with infinite scenery and excellent Feng Shui. It was originally a Lingxiu Wetland with three steps to a spring and five steps to a ditch. In the 1960s, this area was owned by Xinhe Farm, which planted a large area of ​​crops, as well as lotus ponds and fruit trees. Our educated youth farm was built here in the 1970s, and there are still apple orchards and apricot trees. We also operated seed fields and vegetable gardens. Because the water here was particularly clear and mellow, we also raised a large group of ducks and geese. Later, we built a special Lingquan winery. It's a pity that people at that time didn't know how to eat fish, otherwise we would have built big fish ponds and made this a real land of fish and rice. To the south of our farm, separated only by the Xinhe River, is the home of Xiuwu County Agricultural University. The business of the Agricultural University is very similar to our work, so we have many contacts with it. I remember when we educated youths lived here without a village or shop, it really felt like a paradise.

As early as the Xia and Shang dynasties, this place was already a very famous holy place, and many touching stories unique to the region have been left behind. Ancient legends include the remains of the "Ox King Tower", and the virtues of the Ox King can be said to be passed down through the ages. There is also the legend of the "dog spring" that is loyal to its owner. Although it seems to be a deliberate compilation, the expression of good intentions is still vivid. The Fucheng ruins that complete the archaeological discoveries of the Xia and Shang dynasties are only two kilometers north of here. This should be documented in history. During the Song Dynasty, the famous tribute quail was abundant here, and it was a paradise for wild quail. The water used by the contemporary Jiaozuo City Winery in the early days of its establishment was obtained from this source. This place has long been famous for its water and springs, and is a beautiful place renowned for thousands of miles.

The surface water monitoring point in Jiaozuo City is set up, and the real spring and real water located in the urban area should be truly unique and unique. .

Let’s borrow the description of Wu Zeren, a friend with the same interest, to take a closer look at the Holy Spirit Spring Monument: Lingquan. It is located about a mile northwest of Lingquanpi Village. It is approximately 60 meters long from east to west, 45 meters wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​nearly 3,000 square meters.

The water in Lingquan is so clear. Because of its clarity, the color of the water is different from other places. In the shallow place, it is clear to see the bottom. The grass in the water is dense and dense, and you can see clearly with the fluctuation of the water. A little deeper, it starts to turn blue, and the middle becomes clear blue, which is different from the impure green of the water and the too profound azure. This is the purest water I have ever seen, and it is also the most beautiful water I have ever seen. Standing in front of it, I can't help but sigh that this water should only be found in the sky, and I have the urge to melt in it, because it is It's so intoxicating and the soul seems to be purified.

? The spiritual spring here is also comparable to the water in Yuntai Mountain: Born under Yuntai Mountain, I know that Yuntai Mountain not only attracts the attention of domestic and foreign tourists with the beauty of the mountain, but also conquers the world with the agility of the water. into the heart of every tourist. However, there seems to be a quality difference between the water in Yuntai Mountain and the water in Lingquan. The water in Yuntai Mountain is turquoise, like jade in the world; while the water in Lingquan is crystal clear, just like crystals in the mountains; the water in Yuntai Mountain is cheerful and naughty, like a naughty child who is ignorant of the world; and the water in Lingquan is quiet. , shy, like a pure and beautiful girl. Standing by the water, we gazed at this spiritual spring affectionately. Fortunately, there is such a beautiful spring in our hometown. When pollution has become our most helpless topic, there is still such a pure water; we are delighted that such fairy water is still there. , we unexpectedly found and appreciated it. To be honest, before coming to Lingquan, our purpose was only to visit the historical sites and not to enjoy the spring water, because our previous experience of looking for famous springs told us We, modern society, have had a great influence on these ancient scenic wonderlands. Industrialization has left them either dilapidated and exhausted, or dirty. The indulgence of human desires is truly a terrible sin.
