Ji'nan: the world of spring water
Ji'nan, an ancient city on China's land.
in this ancient city, springs are distributed in every corner of the city with the unimaginable density of ordinary people, making the city the world of springs. More than 700 natural springs, no city in the world has so many springs like Ji'nan. This is a gift from heaven and a blessing in the city.
the spring here is light, transparent and mysterious. They kept on pouring day and night, tirelessly. The limpid spring is flowing silently in every corner of the city, moistening everyone in this city and moistening all things in this city. A city is moistened by spring water. What kind of happiness is it?
in this ancient city, there are seventy-two springs. People give them pleasant names, such as Baotu Spring, pearl spring, Crescent Spring, Xian Qingquan, Furong spring, Pipa spring. Each eye spring is like a white pearl, scattered in every corner of the city, adding infinite charm to this city. Therefore, the city has another beautiful name Quancheng.
spring flows quietly in this city. It has infiltrated every street and every lane in the city and becomes the blood of this city. It is the spring that nurtured the city and gave the city the source of its life. Without springs, the city would die in the dry. The cities in the North give people the impression of being bold and bold, while Ji'nan has the charm of elegance and elegance. This temperament is comparable to any city in the south of the Yangtze River.
spring nourishes everyone in the city. The girl who grew up in this city looks all the same with water and soul, delicate skin, beautiful face, and a charming smell all over the body. We have to admit that with the nourishment of spring, women in this city have become so charming.
many springs show different attitudes, some of them are gushing, some are waterfalls, others are Lake shaped. Baotu Spring is known as the first spring in the sky. In the season of high water, the spring will burst out from three springs. It forms a very high water column in the air, and makes a great noise. It has a powerful spirit and a visual and spiritual shock. The ancients described in this way: "if the clouds are boiling, their higher feet will be crystal clear." It must have accumulated all the energy and then burst out from the earth to the earth, and also felt the beauty of the world. And more springs are like pearls and jade, clusters of clusters, green algae floating, and Jin fish shuttle. They came out of the ground silently, and then flowed silently to every corner of the city. The spring gave the city life and became the soul of the city. If you walk around in this city, you will find spring water everywhere.
there is a statue in the five Longtan Park, a girl who draws water. The girl was graceful, charming, smiling, and was carrying a pitcher on her shoulder. The canister has been filled with fresh springs. Isn't this statue the most vivid portrayal of the city?
I stopped at the spring side of Baotu Spring or five Longtan, and watched the spring flow out of the spring, silent. Different from the river, the river water always gives people a feeling of surging. And these springs look so light and ingenious, so clear and transparent that they give people a wonderful feeling and endless reverie. They flow down to a trickle, then flow to the distance and flow to every corner of the city. They are an independent life, a beautiful life, a tough life. They do not fear the difficulties, overcome the difficulties, come from the dark and distant ground to the world, embrace the city, moisten the city, and bring the spirit of spirit and elegance to the city. What kind of ordinary and great is this.
in the history of human development, human beings always choose to live in water. Because of water, we have bred a city or a village. If there is no water at any place, it is difficult for human beings to survive. Many cities have chosen the great river, and Ji'nan has chosen the spring, or the spring has chosen Ji'nan. This is a coincidence or a chance. We can not know the answer. At this moment, the answer is no longer important. The important thing is that the spring has merged into a perfect whole with this city.

springs flowing along a secrecy channel, which eventually converge here, forming a very small lake. This is Daming Lake.
compares with many cities' lakes, Daming Lake does not have an advantage in terms of area and scenery. But deep cultural details are not available in many cities. Daming Lake is very important to this city. Its importance to the city is not reflected in economy, but in culture and spirit. Around this small lake, there are too many historical sites, such as Lixia Pavilion, Arctic Pavilion, Hui Po Lou, Xia yuan, iron Gong shrine and Canglang Pavilion. These ancient buildings recorded the ups and downs of the city, recording the great changes in the city. Literati from all over the world came from all sides to this famous city with springs and came to Daming Lake, drinking, enjoying flowers, watching willows, rowing boats, picking lotus and composing poems. Whenever we see the charming scenery of this city, these literati and poets will have a great poetic development, leaving a wonderful poem for posterity. The phrase "four sides of lotus flowers, three sides of willows, one city, a mountain, a half city lake" is the most appropriate description of this ancient city. In history, many cultural celebrities and the lake are closely linked, Li Bai, Du Fu, vegetarian, Zeng Gong, Wang Shizhen, Pu Songling, Lao She, Ji Xianlin... These great names make Daming Lake a cultural lake.
therefore, Daming Lake carries the history and culture of the city, and carries the spiritual sustenance of the city. It is with this lake that the city appears to be rich in culture, not superficial and pale. A city without cultural details is hard to survive for a long time. A shallow city can easily get lost under the temptation of money. With a profound cultural background, the city can resist all kinds of temptations and move towards the right path of development.
Daming Lake is a place frequented by people, not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because of the spiritual dependence of the lake. Here, people can not only understand the quintessence of Chinese classical garden art, but also accept the edification of Chinese traditional culture here. Walking around Daming Lake, we can not only appreciate the beauty of Pavilion, platform, building, pavilion, bridge and porch, but also the profound and profound Chinese traditional culture.
the bell of Daming Lake rang again, thick and distant, echoing in my ears, lingering for a long time. The bell seemed to me to see the remote ancient times. People lived and thrived in this city, looking for love, happiness or sadness, and then died. All prosperity is a temporary existence, and it will disappear with the passage of time. The only constant is the unremitting pursuit of good life and the indomitable spirit of setbacks.
Xin Qiji must have been here, stride the lakeside stride, while thinking of the golden iron horse in the north, shaking his head and sighing for his own blood to kill the enemy. Li Qingzhao must have been here too, looking at the clear water in a trance, thinking of the story of the wind and snow that had gone with the wind. Du Fu must have been here. He stroll along the lake, wondering whether the people of the world can "secure tens of thousands of apartments". Liu E must have been here too. While enjoying the reflection of Foshan, he was wondering whether the water of the city could clean the dirty air in the Yamen.
Daming Lake has given the city too much spiritual comfort and has given the city too many cultural sustenance. Over the years, Daming Lake has become the heart of the city. Without this lake, the whole city will fall into a spiritual crisis, and it will become idle on the road of modernization and will become a spiritual beggar.
every summer, there will be many white lotus flowers in the lake. In the minds of Chinese intellectuals, lotus symbolizes purity, "not silting out of silt, but not being chaste." The lotus flowers bloom beautifully, like graceful young girls, graceful and graceful, giving people the enjoyment of beauty. It must be moistened by the spring water. Compared with other lotus flowers, the lotus in Daming Lake is more beautiful and more holy. Compared with modern people, the ancients have more time to enjoy. Every summer, they must sail around the lotus boat in the middle of the lotus boat. While enjoying the beautiful wine, they appreciate the beautiful lotus flower, and they will also develop their poetry and write a good poem. Now people only stand on the shore, look at the lotus, or pick up the camera, take pictures of their beautiful figure. Today, as technology is increasingly developed, this way of appreciating flowers is not poetic.
Daming Lake accepts the springs of all directions with the most open attitude and never refuses. This inclusiveness also makes Daming Lake. Just like this city, it is also highly inclusive. If a city is not very inclusive, then, it will not become a city with vitality, will not become a great city, it will be killed in a very short period of time. Because of the moisture of spring, the city also has the character of water, showing great tolerance to the world.

this is the last piece of ancient residence in this city. The clear spring water flows quietly along each of the lanes here, flowing through each door of each family, and selflessly dedicating everything to the people without reservation. "Family spring, every household is weeping willow" is a true portrait of this ancient residence.
springs play an extremely important role in our daily life. People use spring water to wash clothes, cook, drink tea, chat, wash their bodies, and grow flowers and fish. Spring has penetrated into every detail of people's lives. Every life here receives the grace from springs. If there were no springs, life here would not continue.
the old men in the old spectacles soaked in a pot of tea, lying on a polished bamboo chair, talking to old friends about the past stories and savoring the fragrance of tea. Perhaps only people here can fully appreciate the unique flavor produced by the full mixing of spring water and tea. The women came to the fountain with a basin of clothes, while washing their clothes, and talking with others about the others. Clothes washed after spring water will feel softer and more comfortable. Children are playing and fighting in the spring with bare feet, enjoying the happiness that springs bring to them. The footsteps here are idle rather than hurried. The expression here is serene rather than gloomy. People are looking at those beautiful days that are fading away in such a life, savor the happiness and sadness that time brings to them.
in this ancient northern city, there is a small bridge, flowing water and people's scenery of Jiangnan. This scene is very rare in the northern cities. Here, springs are scattered over every street and lane, which makes the city moist. It is the spring that endows them with spirituality and allows them to live a carefree life in a peach garden.
I've been walking on this old and old street many times, looking at a piece of old old green bricks, an old folk house, and an old courtyard. It still follows the traditional way of life. And there are still repair shops, shoe repair shops, restaurants, shops, hotels, clinics, churches, Taoism and Confucious'temple in these streets. The streets of Hou Zai gate, Qu Shui kiosk, wheel street, house wall street, hibiscus street, these streets still exist in this city still, like a silent old man, recording the vicissitudes of the city. Walking here, you will feel like this is forgotten by time. There is a strong nostalgic smell between the blue tiles and Dawa, which makes people recall the simple distant age.
I visited a courtyard in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was a place marked on the map. An old man with a pair of presbyopic glasses invited me into the yard politely, so that I could visit it freely and then entered the house. She was not alert to my stranger, and I had no inexplicable hostility. I walked slowly in the courtyard, looking carefully at everything around me, a green brick, a wooden door, a wooden window, an old tree, a lock of iron, trying to find something and trying to recall something. The courtyard is large, but there are many rooms and it looks crowded. It was quiet here, and there was no movement. No one seemed to be there. I feel as if I have been on a train going to ancient times, and I am shuttling in the tunnel of time. In this yard, there must have been a champion scholar. And before his title, there must be a lot of reading in the yard every day, and there will be a lonely figure in the night reading books under the light.
spring is still clear and transparent, moistening everything here, without the indescribable panic, no endless desire, no hysteria of madness. Here, time becomes soft and soft and feels warm. Here, time becomes transparent and transparent, making people feel sad.
spring is still flowing quietly in this old town, which has been flowing for thousands of years. It is quiet, not noisy and restless. It always looks so peaceful. There are no lights, no tall buildings, no red men and green girls. There is only a simple way of life. Here, hiding all the wisdom of the ancients to life, only as modern people we can not see, hear, or do not understand, do not understand. Modern people are sitting on a train of desire, running faster and faster, and there is no possibility of stopping.
it must be the spring that melts all desires and makes the life of this life tranquil, simple and calm.
