Brief introduction of Jinan spring:

Jinan is famous for its numerous springs. According to statistics, there are four spring areas, ten spring groups, "seventy-two springs" and 733 natural springs, which are rare in cities at home and abroad. It is a natural karst spring museum, also known as the "Spring Capital". The springs in Jinan are not only numerous, but also various and spectacular. In the water season, in areas with dense springs, there is a beautiful scenery of "every spring, every family hangs the sun". The origin of spring city in the world:

Jinan, Shandong Province is an ancient city with a long history. It was called Luoyi in the Spring and Autumn Period. China's earliest chronicle "Spring and Autumn Annals" records that in the eighteenth year of Huan Gong (694 BC), the guild was in harmony with Luoyi, which was the place. During the Warring States Period, it was renamed Li Xiayi. In the Han Dynasty, Licheng County was named after Lishan Mountain in the south of the city. According to legend, in ancient times, Mount Li was also called Shungeng Mountain. Up to now, there are places of interest such as Shuntian Temple and Jing Shun in Lixia District of Jinan City. The name of Jinan began in the Han Dynasty, and Licheng County belonged to Qi State in the early Han Dynasty. In the sixteenth year of Emperor Wendi (BC 164), Jinan was separated from Qi, and in the third year of Emperor Jingdi (BC 154), it was changed to Jinan County, named after the south of Jishui. When it comes to saving water, it was quite famous in ancient times. China's earliest geographical monograph "Gong Yu" recorded: "Diversion of water from the East to help". Lingshui is also called Jishui, and later called Daqing River. After the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the old road of Daqing River was seized by the Yellow River, and the names of Jishui and Daqing River disappeared. But when it comes to the origin of Jinan's name, we have to mention this ancient water. However, the original location of Jinan State or County was not in today's Jinan City, but in Dongping Mausoleum (now Ping Ling City) in the east of Jinan City. In the Jin Dynasty, Jinan County was moved from Dongping Mausoleum to Licheng County, and Licheng was named Jinan.

During the Sui Dynasty, Jinan County was changed to Qixian County, and Licheng County was under the jurisdiction of Qixian County. During the Tang Dynasty, Licheng County was ruled by qi zhou. After the Yuan Dynasty, Jinan became the political, economic and cultural center of Shandong Province. Since the Jin Dynasty, Jinan County moved to Licheng, and Jinan built a tucheng. In the fourth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 187 1), it was rebuilt as a brick city, with a circumference of 12 miles and 48 feet, a height of 3 feet and 2 feet, a pool width of 5 feet and a depth of 3 feet. The east gate of Biximen is called Qichuan Gate, the west gate is called Luoyuan Gate, the south gate is called Shuntian Gate, and later it is changed to Lishan Gate, and the north gate is called Huibo Gate. In the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (AD 1860), a paddock was built outside the city, with a circumference of 40 Li, which was converted into a sarcophagus during Tongzhi period. After liberation, the city wall was not only demolished, but also extended to the east, west, south and north outside the old city, forming a new part with various characteristics such as mining, transportation, culture, park square and so on. The formation of Jinan city is closely related to the springs here, because Jinan is located on the boundary between mountains and plains. The rock in Nanshan District of Jinan City is a thick layer of pure limestone, while the underground in the plain area is hard magmatic rock. The limestone in the mountainous area inclines from south to north with a slope of about 30 degrees, and it was just cut off by underground magmatic rocks when it arrived in Jinan. Limestone is porous and karst caves can store and transport a large amount of groundwater, so a large amount of groundwater flows along the slope of the mountain in the southern mountainous area and becomes the source of Jinan spring water. After a large amount of groundwater flows to Jinan, it is blocked by magmatic rocks and accumulates underground. The accumulation of groundwater has produced great pressure, because there are cracks in some places, which provide conditions for groundwater. Groundwater gushed out along these cracks with strong pressure, and natural springs appeared. Baotu Spring, Pearl Spring and Golden Thread Spring in Jinan were formed in this way.

Jinan has always been known as the "Spring City". It is said that there are lakes all over the north of the city, and the area is much larger than now. In Song Dynasty, when Ceng Gong was the magistrate of Jinan, in order to prevent floods, he built a Shuibei sluice to introduce the lake water into Daqing River. Daming Lake has gradually become today's scale. As can be seen from the records of the Ming Dynasty, Daming Lake at that time was still "one of the three cities of Fucheng". For hundreds of years, the famous saying "Lotus on four sides and willow on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city with lakes" has been well-known in Jinan, which is a true portrayal of Jinan's beautiful scenery. Yu Qin, a Yuan Dynasty man, said that "Jinan's mountains and rivers are better than Qilu, and its springs are better than the world". The distribution of spring water in Jinan is regular, mainly distributed in gullies and lowlands on the south side of the old city, with a slight east-west belt shape.
