Speaking of this mountain spring, it's really a bit unclear. That water is really sweet and delicious. Farmers and passers-by who have worked hard all day like to drink it to quench their thirst. The villagers are willing to go here to fetch water for cooking, washing vegetables and washing clothes, so the locals call it "fairy water". Some farmers visit relatives and friends, instead of buying sweets and snacks, they choose a load of this spring water to give away. Relatives and friends are more happy to receive this water than candy and snacks. Because use it to order tofu, tofu is white, tender and delicious, stuffy rice, rice is sweet and tender. Even if bitter and astringent raw persimmons are soaked in this water, the persimmons are sweet and crisp. ...
And for many years, no matter how long the drought lasted, the water never stopped. Chen Tingjing's second son, Chen Yupeng, nicknamed him "Li Anquan".
There is an old saying that "a big tree attracts the wind, and more money attracts thieves", which is true. As soon as the "rabbit flowing spring" is called "lotus spring", it will cause trouble and cause some people with ulterior motives to be jealous. One year, a fat monk came from the south. He drank water, saw mountains and traveled all over Fan Chuan. He knows that this place will be a big shot in the future, and some people will get married to pay homage. It's just a bad idea to break the feng shui. ...
On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month this year, every household plays moon cakes to worship the moon god, and people who come to pick up the fairy water are also in an endless stream. In the middle of the night, when the moon was shining, the fat monk came to "Li Anquan" with Zen and "Zhenwu".
He took the spring water and drank for a while, then sat cross-legged, read a sentence of "Amitabha" with his eyes closed, prayed in a low voice, then got up and grabbed the mord and dug it up at the ridge. After the pit was dug, he took out the "town things" in his arms and watched them over and over again in the bright moonlight. It turned out that this "town object" was a python carved from black stone. He means that only pythons can make waves, and they are definitely immortals here, breaking the feng shui atmosphere of the disciples here. So, everything here is in your own hands. ...
I don't know, he was about to put the town in the pit when a thunderbolt suddenly rang at dawn, falling from the sky with a ball of fire, and came straight at him. A few times, a "town" was blown to pieces, and his hands and face were bloody, so that he was scared to death. He grabbed the mord and ran away, and I don't know where to go. ...
Since the fireball struck, the water in the spring has stopped flowing, and the villagers have been talking about it for some reason, except that it sounds a bit strange to see a fireball and hear a thunderbolt fall on the night of August 15. ...
Without water, weeds on the ridge will not flourish, and rabbits and foxes will gradually disappear. Of course, people won't come. ...
About ten years later, another stream of water flowed out from the south of the ravine. The current is rushing, as if it had been held in the mountainside for many years. It pours down the mountain all day, and the water is still so clear and sweet, which makes the villagers and Chen family very unhappy. Slowly, the water flows into a small river, and the river twists and turns. Two large ponds, one small pond and three small ponds are formed with the terrain. Chen Jiawen named it Nanhu, Beitang and Zhonglianchi according to its orientation, and named the river Qujiang. Moreover, he built many buildings, built pavilions, planted flowers and plants, planted bamboo willows and planted dozens of acres. In addition, an academy was built in Zhiyuan, where future generations can study and cultivate their sentiments.
Later, Chen's descendants also built a small bridge on this flowing Qujiang River, named "Champion Bridge", to encourage future generations to study hard and win the champion. The locals are more interesting, that is, as long as they drink the spring water and cross the champion bridge, they can become big officials.
Later, Chen built a "Kuixing Pavilion" on the Champion Bridge. Kuixing refers to the four stars in the Big Dipper in the sky. It is said that he is in charge of arts and sciences, so the scribes respect Kuixing very much. Come to this garden, drink water, cross the bridge, and then go to Kuixing Pavilion to worship Kuixing, and win the championship in one fell swoop. Do you think the scribes will be very dissatisfied with this move?
When he was old, he hated officialdom, but he couldn't go home, so he wrote to his fourth brother, Chen, who was a county magistrate in Wu 'an, Hebei Province, and told him not to be an official after the expiration of his term, but to go back to his hometown and be a free man. Chen listened to his brother. After the expiration of the six-year seven-product county magistrate, the people of Wu' an cried to retain Chen Qingtian. After returning, he often made friends with local literati, talked about literary theory and poetry, and cultivated himself between mountains and rivers, which was very quiet. One day, after visiting the garden, he had a whim and built a "flowing cup pavilion" on the water surface of "South Lake" to let Qujiang water slowly flow out of the "Shou"-shaped stone carving tank on the ground in the pavilion, and invited rural literati friends to drink and write poems in the pavilion. When writing a poem, put a glass of wine in the sink and drift with the water, and the cup floats in front of the poet. If you can't write poetry, you will be punished for fun. This elegant wine style not only makes drinkers interesting, but also makes them experience the charm of culture from their deep friendship, which is really amazing.
Although the original landscape of "filling soil and flowing springs" has been unrecognizable, the resulting garden scenery is better than it. Throughout the year, wind, rain, frost and snow make peaches, pears, pines, plums, flowers, birds, insects and fish in the garden change their gorgeous styles at any time, which adds infinite expectations to people. People say that entering this garden is like eating sugar cane and going up the stairs. Some people laugh, for example, the beauty of this garden is that sesame seeds fall into the eye of a needle-what a coincidence.
