Lion Milk Spring, Dongshan County Records of the Republic of China Edition, recorded on page 344: "Lion Milk Spring, right of Gu Shan. The roof is like a house, and it is several feet deep. Drink this water at home in the city. "
Lion milk spring, in the era when there was no running water, she fed her many children with sweet milk. She is my childhood dream, my childhood paradise.
At first, I only knew that my grandmother lived in Lion High Milk. I remember my grandmother had a tall mulberry tree. In summer, mulberry leaves are covered with red, black and black mulberries. At that time, the economy was depressed and food was scarce. Mulberry became the best food in my childhood. I remember when I was a child, I often played with my friends around Lion Milk Spring. We caught the treasure in the reeds, picked tiger berries in the wild flowers with thorns, dug earthworms as bait in the garden, and then went to Ximen 'ao to catch small fish. Later, halfway up the mountain to the first-class green slate in the mountain, I met Lion Milk Spring.
A transparent spring water lies softly in a gap. Green grass grows on the stone wall at the bottom of the pool. Large and small goose eggs are crystal clear, mottled moss spreads all over the stone walls on both sides of the pool, and the pool is dotted with wild flowers and weeds. Lion milk spring, the spring water gurgles, when it rains heavily, the spring water is bloody, that is, milky white, and it will never be exhausted in winter. At that time, although the mountainside had fresh air and beautiful environment, it was often dry and short of water, so Lion Milk Spring was particularly lively when it rained heavily. Residents from far and near came to the pool to get water, queue up to talk and laugh, spread local news, and comment on the short family life and happy home pictures.
Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this geomantic treasure-house near Lion Milk Spring has given birth to a generation of literati such as Chen Hengnan, Chen Guiqiu, Lin Jia, Lu, Liu, and Liu.
Standing in front of Lion Milk Spring, facing south, at the foot is Nanmen Bay with rippling blue waves, and in the distance is Sufeng Mountain, which is sunny, sparkling and decorated with sails. The waves are surging with the enduring cultural songs of the ancient city, telling the development process of fishermen from bamboo rafts to sampans, from speedboats to steel boats, and showing the civilized footprint from compass to satellite navigation.
You can climb to the top of Lion Milk Spring and enter Wengong Temple. Wengong Temple, namely Nan 'e Academy, also known as Zhuzi Temple, was built in the fifth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1526). Cai Chao, who visited the sea, advocated the establishment of Neo-Confucianism education and made preparations for the establishment of a place for scholars to read classics and discuss Taoism. For hundreds of years, Lang Lang's reading sound drifted by the lion milk spring, edifying generations of students in the ancient town. You can pay homage to Confucius, Zhu and Huang Daozhou with reverence. When your children want to study hard and enter the university, you might as well have a conversation with them. They will tell you that there are thousands of kinds of millet in the book, Yan Ruyu in the book and Golden House in the book. In Wengong Temple Park, you will see many cliff carvings. You want to be a man and tell your husband's generosity. You want to be a scholar. You want to show the wonders of nature. You want to travel with your creation, tie mountains and rivers, stretch the sky, climb mountains and see the sea.
Climbing to the top of the mountain from Wengong Temple overlooks the islands, big and small, far and near. The easternmost island is Dongmenyu, the four famous islands in China. There are temples at zero altitude, which is unique in the world. There is a stone room, which is the youth reading room of Huangdaozhou University in the late Ming Dynasty. There is also the tall Wenfeng Pagoda, which is a symbol of Zhong Ling's hometown. On the opposite side and the left side of the island, there are tiger fish head, shed island, nail island, opposite island and other mountain islands, which are scattered all over the place. As soon as I turned around, I saw Su Feng Gong Xiu, Nan Yu and Jiuchi fish lapping on the shore, and flocks of seagulls skimmed the sea and sang heartily.
My fellow villagers and friends, do you still remember that there were Christian churches and Catholic churches around Lion Milk Spring, and there are still ruins. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1907), the church also established the first primary school in Dongshan, named "Lizi Primary School". In 1908, a Yu Xiu girls' school and a kindergarten opened a western medicine clinic. Christians have sung hymns here, and how kind the Virgin Mary is. They combine Chinese and western thoughts with Confucian and Neo-Confucianism sages in the mountains, spread knowledge and civilization in their hometown, and advocate truth, goodness and beauty. There used to be towering Erythrina trees here. Whenever the breeze blows gently and the green leaves are shaded, it protects the peace and auspiciousness of the people. 196 1 year, the famous poet Cai Qijiao came to Dongshan and made a special trip to watch it, and wrote "Erythrina and Dongshan Island", which was praised and praised by people. Fortunately, the current government has formulated the "Revitalization Plan of Tongling Historical and Cultural Town", with the active participation of celebrities and sages in their hometown. I believe that in the near future, Erythrina trees will thrive in their hometown and reproduce a beautiful scenery of the ancient town.
I don't know whether it is geological change or man-made destruction. Today's lion milk spring is salty and slightly polluted, but it is still overgrown with weeds and flowers. Pieces of mushroom-like moss are crawling all over the stone wall in the pool, and the vicissitudes are like washboards peeling off at the foot. For more than ten years, kind villagers have repaired the wall of Lion Milk Spring. Mr. Wang carved the stone tablet of Lion Milk Spring at his own expense and unveiled it with Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen at 9: 09 on September 9, 20 12. People also offered a stone tablet of Lion Milk Spring, and made a timely worship. Lion milk spring still left deep expectation and nostalgia for the people around.
Lion milk spring is in front of my eyes, like a statue, light blue, sometimes quiet and sometimes noisy, sometimes solemn and sometimes angry. My heart was shocked. At that time, if some countryman asked me: What is your greatest emotion for it? "Feelings!" I said so. Because she is my grandmother's lion breast, she nurtured my mother, she gave me the purest childhood and brought me many beautiful reverie.
