Water law data of Yuanmingyuan

1. There is a stone-throwing fountain in front of the West Building of Yuanmingyuan, which is called Dashuifa. The architect reported the twelve hours of the day with the zodiac sign of the animal head, and sprayed water to the center of the pool in turn every day. At noon, the zodiac will spew synchronously in the middle of the pool, and the scene is spectacular.

2. The main body of the West Building is actually an artificial fountain called "Water Method". It is characterized by a large number, great momentum and strange ideas. Three large fountain groups, Heqiqu, Haiyan Hall and Dashuifa, are mainly formed, which are quite interesting and are the most spectacular fountains in the West Building.

Its architectural shape is a stone niche, similar to a doorway. There is a big lion head spraying water below, forming a seven-layer water curtain. There is an oval chrysanthemum fountain at the front and bottom. In the middle of the pool, there is a bronze sika deer, which sprays water from its antlers eight times. Two servants kept ten bronze dogs, which spouted water from their mouths, shot directly at the deer and splashed layers of waves, commonly known as "hunting dogs for deer".
