Where is the gun shaft spring?

Qianggan Spring is located about 200 meters east of Taoke Reservoir Dam in Liubu Town. It is surrounded by mountains and has beautiful scenery. The spring water is under the cliff on the north shore of Dongyu Island, and there is a cave with a diameter of about 40 cm on the rock wall. Water flows out of the cave, enters a pool with a length of 1 2m, a width of 2m and a depth of1m, and then is injected into Taoke Reservoir. This spring has excellent potential and flows all year round. In the Qing Dynasty, "Licheng County Records" said: "The spring flies to the nursery, which is the crown of all the springs in Longmen."

The origin of Ganggen Spring is said to have been poked out by Xin Qiji, a national hero in the Southern Song Dynasty. Xin Qiji 1 140 was born in Sifengmen, Licheng, Jinan. He advocated resisting gold to recover lost land and reunifying China all his life. At the age of 22, he and his monk friend Duan Yi gathered 2,000 people to join the Loyal Army of Geng Jing, a peasant uprising army in Jinan, and served as the responsible secretary. Unexpectedly, Duan Yi stole the national seal and defected to the enemy. In a rage, Xin Qiji single-handedly pursued Duan Yi in the south of Liubu Taoke Village in the middle of the night and regained the seal. At this time, at dawn and sunrise, Xin Qiji was thirsty and exhausted, and couldn't find water anywhere. In desperation, he raised his pike and struggled to insert it into the rock wall. When he pulled out his gun, a cave appeared on the rock wall and a clear spring gushed out. Xin Qiji and the war horse drank a lot of wine and returned to the camp. In memory of this outstanding national hero and patriotic poet, later generations called this spring "the spring of a gun".
