Jinan, there is really nothing to see, at least I thought so before.
Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, what else, Furong Street? That's about it.
My friend is from Guangdong and wants to see Jinan. I said, just look at Baotu Spring. Daming Lake doesn't matter.
Jinan used to have many springs. The so-called "every family weeping willows, every family springs" has been forgotten. It's too late to know how to protect them.
Going to Jinan is mostly for business, coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry. It's just that I have to stay in Jinan for more than half a month every year after the Spring Festival exam.
Taking the exam is very tiring. You may have nothing to do all day. Suddenly, you got up in the middle of the night and ran away. At first, I just looked at the sky in front of the window in the hotel and read a book after reading it. Unconsciously, the day passed, and I was not busy, just tired. Then I went to quancheng road Bookstore to study. The books in that bookstore are still good and rich in content. It's just that the service is terrible.
At that time, I took a fancy to a set of Qigong Calligraphy and Painting Collection in the store, 2800. I bought it after watching it for a week. Hotels are also consumption, so it is better to go out and read books. Go to work if you have a phone.
Then, go to Baotu Spring for tea.
Baotu Spring, known as the first spring in the world, was initially considered as a nonsense in name only, but later it was known that it was because of the good water quality. In Baotu Spring, some people sell tea to buy noodles, that is, boiling water to brew starch, add sesame seeds, sugar and the like. Not many people drink green tea, and tea sellers are too lazy to sell it.
When you go out, you bring your own tea in your bag, so you go to the teahouse near Baotu Spring to buy water to make tea. Choose a table by the window, put your mobile phone on the table, put your backpack beside you, spread out a book and make a cup of tea. Outside the window, the bright sunshine shines in, making you warm and swimming under the window. Tourists are bustling, all separated by glass, and the teahouse is very quiet. Everyone knows that good water can make good tea, but it is really difficult to find good water now. Ordinary tea, the blisters here are also good. When reading, my eyes are dim. Look up at the sky outside the window. Under the blue sky, weeping willows are near the window, and branches are dotted with willow rice.
One day, when I arrived at Baotu Spring, it snowed heavily and the spring became bluer and bluer. Suddenly, the snow stopped, the sky was overcast and the spring water became a pool. The water vapor is transpiration, and the ripples are fine. Without tea, I grabbed my camera and hurried to take pictures.
The north gate of Baotu Spring faces Wulongtan, and there is also a teahouse, which is also very good. It's quieter than Baotu Spring. There is also a Wu Zhongqi Memorial Hall, and his calligraphy works are still worth seeing.
There are also some springs in Furong Street, which are in the residents' yards. This is not uncommon in Jinan. In the past, there were many springs in residents' homes.
The old buildings near Furong Street can still vaguely see the old style of Jinan, and the architectural style is heavy and gentle.
Inadvertently, the spring water turned into a stream, flowing quietly from outside the courtyard wall, which made people feel more moist and beautiful.
Without a trickle, more and more springs will be collected. The spring water in Qushuiting Street will become a river, with a street on one side and a river on the other. Throughout the year, there is clear water flowing through the front door, weeping willows taking pictures, gentle water plants, pumping water for a short time, washing and cooking. Especially in today's polluted rivers and lakes, people here can still drink such good water, which is simply luxury.
Old Jinan people also like to cook with spring water. The spring water around Black Tiger Spring is easy to connect. Crowds of people took the spring water in buckets and took it home. Clear and bright spring water gushed from the stone wall, which looked very comfortable. Take a sip, and the tongue poisoned by tap water for a long time suddenly realizes: this should be called water!
Black Tiger Spring, also a famous spring in Jinan, spewed out from the heads of three stone-carved tigers, which was impressive. There is also Fuquan nearby, which is also a convenient spring for receiving water. There is a stone tablet that says Fuquan and Han Meilin.
Every year after the Spring Festival in Jinan, I go to Fuquan to pay homage to a friend's old father.
Spring water makes tea, which tastes excellent. Cooking with spring water is also a flavor. A few years ago, there was a restaurant here that cooked fried chicken and steamed buns with spring water. It was delicious. There is also an exquisite courtyard, which used to be the outer residence of Ding Baozhen. Ding Baozhen, a famous minister in Qing Dynasty, was once the governor of Shandong and Sichuan, and was called Ding Baogong from official to prince. The famous kung pao chicken was made by his chef.
The river connected with Black Tiger Spring and Baishi Spring flows out from Baotu Spring, and spring water flows in from both sides of the river, so it can sail back and forth. Some springs are at the bottom of the river, and the river is clear and blue. Under the sunlight, a string of glittering and translucent bubbles emerged from the grass at the bottom of the river and rushed to the water. Wow, it seems like a long breath.
Baishiquan is a rocky place. Several clear springs flow all day, and it seems that they never get tired and never rest. In summer, sitting on a stone, there is a clear stream at the foot, and there is no tassel to bang me, just to bang me.
Under the shade of Qushuiting Street, there are people who are taking a summer vacation, a small table and several bottles of beer. Unconsciously, a tough summer passed. Autumn wind, weeping willows swaying gently, blue sky hanging high, spring water slightly cool. When winter comes, the river won't freeze, but it emits plumes of hot air, which makes people feel that this winter is very warm, and the hot air gathers on the river to form a thin layer of light fog. Willow branches and leaves are sparse and look picturesque. Someone is swimming in the river, and the river is not cold. The river twists and turns, forming a famous lake.
West Lake in Hangzhou, Slender West Lake in Yangzhou and Cuihu in Kunming are all famous lakes. Think about it, Daming Lake is the strangest. It's a lake with springs, and the water is really good. Especially in spring, the whole lake is as blue as blue. The weeping willows on the north shore are the most affected by the wind.
I went to Jinan for the first time more than 20 years ago and visited Daming Lake for the first time. All I know is the story of a white cow telling a story, a lake with weeping willows on a lotus leaf stone bank. In midsummer, it is half cloudy and half sunny. It was an age full of fantasy. The Daming Lake photographed this time is the end of winter, the lake is full and the willows are gloomy. It's the age I want to say.
Unfortunately, the fog in North China was too heavy in the days when I took pictures, so I could only take pictures in black and white.
The limited cultural relics in Jinan are mostly concentrated in Daming Lake and Baotu Spring. The couplet "Lotus on three sides and willow on one side, Spring City and Half City Lake" was actually written by Tie Bao. Oh, it's rare. I don't know much about Ceng Gong in Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. Only when I saw an ancestral temple on the north shore did I know that this man was an official in Jinan and had a good political voice. The memorial halls of Li Qingzhao and Xin Jiaxuan are also in Baotu Spring and Daming Lake. There is a spring in Baotu Spring Park called Shu Yuquan, probably named after Li Qingzhao's Yu Shu Ci. Every year during the Lantern Festival in Baotu Spring, a fat man plays a foreign film. "Look, two mice are wrestling. The big mouse is holding the leg of the little mouse, and the little mouse is waist-high." Someone is singing Beijing Opera, which is very formal and exquisite.
Lao She Memorial Hall is near Daming Lake.
There are not many celebrities in Jinan. Look at the wall of Qushuiting Street. Qin Dou is in the column. Liu E, a native of Jiangsu, just wrote Daming Lake in Travel Notes of Lao Can. People in Jinan are not polite at all and are invited. Is it an honorary citizen?
Now, the most famous is "Summer by Daming Lake".
