An east current, a spring near a small armour, flows through the winter, often flows into the city. " In the past, there were ancient hot springs, moon buds, North washing pot springs, wash springs, still water springs, Hui spring, Xian Qing spring, bright pool and so on. Some spring water converged to the East like West moat. For years, the streets are named Dong River Street. The area of east stream water street was Daming Lake in ancient times, and later the lake was obliterated. People built their gardens here.
