1, because the ancient Baotu Spring was tens of feet high and the monument was washed down many times, in the Ming Dynasty, Jinan government asked Hu Yongzong, the governor of Shandong Province, to write a monument, because Hu was a native of Tianshui, Gansu Province and a provincial official of Shandong Province, and wanted to mark Baotu Spring with a pen to suppress this turbulent Baotu Spring.
Hu is good at writing big characters. After the characters are written, masons in Jinan choose the best stone tablets. On Dragon Boat Festival, the magistrate set up a stone tablet engraved with "Baotu Spring" at the source of Baotu Spring. I soon found that two points on the word "Tu" were washed away by the empty spring water, and they all said that they rushed to Daming Lake, and one of them was left on "Ming". This is why the word "tu" on the stone tablet of Baotu Spring is missing two points.
2. The word "Daming Lake" developed from the inscription on Daming Lake in Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, which was created by a calligrapher in Dengzhou, Jiaqing in 1926. This "Muyue" is the writing of the post, not a typo. What kind of writing method is the calligrapher's creative freedom. In the art of calligraphy, in order to balance the font structure or aesthetic feeling, there are often cases of adding and subtracting pens.
3. In order to avoid the Ming Dynasty's "Ming", calligraphers in Qing Dynasty wrote more, especially after the word "Da", otherwise they might go to jail, and the word "Tu" in Baotuquan might be the calligrapher's artistic need.
It is said that the word "Ming" is also the most common "typo" in many inscriptions. For example, the word "Ming Mausoleum" was written as "Guo Xiaoling Mausoleum" on the tablet of Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
There is also a plaque in Chengdu Wuhou Temple called "Liang Ming Eternity", on which "Ming" is written as "Bi". Some people think that replacing "sun" with "eyes" is a kind of wisdom, representing a pair of penetrating eyes, and "bright and eternal" means this.

The strange wonders of Daming Lake
"If the snake disappears, the frog won't sing" means that there are no water snakes around Daming Lake, and the frog can't sing. According to the characteristics of nature, where there is water, there are water snakes, and frogs can bark, while there are no water snakes in Daming Lake, but frogs can't hear frogs.
Someone has done such an experiment. Put the croaking frogs in the moat into Daming Lake and stop croaking immediately. Put frogs that can't croak in Daming Lake into the moat, and they will croak in a certain period of time. The phenomenon of "the snake disappears, but the frog doesn't sing" in Daming Lake is also recorded in Licheng County Records, which is listed as one of the four natural ecological mysteries in China.
