According to legend, Lu Yu (733-804 AD), a famous person in the Tang Dynasty, was famous for his love of tea. He wrote the world's first monograph on tea, Tea Classic, and was known as the "Tea God". Lu Yu is very familiar with the water for making tea. He traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, tasted the clear water and clear springs all over the country, and ranked the springs according to the delicacy of tea, confirming that Gulian Spring in Lushan Mountain was the "No.1 spring in the world".
Huishan Spring in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province is the second spring in the world, and Lanxi Spring in Qishui, Hubei Province is the third spring in the world. After Lu Yu's evaluation, Gu Lianchun's reputation doubled and became famous all over the world. Literati and writers of past dynasties came one after another, all of them tasted it and left doubts. Celebrities in the Song Dynasty, such as Wang Anshi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi, all visited and tasted Gulian Spring with great interest and left beautiful poems.
2. The second spring in the world: Huishan Shiquan.
Huishan Shiquan (now Wuxi, Jiangsu), Cha Sheng Lu Yu carefully tasted 20 kinds of springs in the world, ranking second, hence the name "the second spring in the world". Li Shen, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, liked the spring water in his hometown so much that he brought it to Beijing. After handing it over to Li Deyu, a friendly colleague and prime minister, it was sent to Chang 'an by express mail. So Er Quan is famous all over Beijing. Su Dongpo, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, visited Pinquan many times.
When Song Gaozong flows to the south, the words "flowing water from the source" appear on the spring. And ordered a pavilion to protect the spring. Zhao Mengfu, a calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty (a passerby in Song Xue), wrote a book about the amount of spring. There are still spring pavilions in stone carvings. In the Ming Dynasty, the stone carving decapitation was placed in Xiachi, Er Quan, which constituted the scenic spot of "Kissing the Flying Spring". Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong visited the spring six times respectively in Qing Dynasty.
At present, there are three spring pools in Er Quan courtyard, namely, the stone carvings of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the spring pavilion and Yilan Hall, and the Taihu boulder moved in the Ming Dynasty. The courtyard scenery is simple and elegant.
3. The third spring in the world: Lanxi stone enters the water.
Under the cliff stone of Xitan 'ao River in the upper reaches of Lanxi Kou in Xishui County, Hubei Province, there is a cave as big as a rice jar and about three feet deep. The cave is filled with spring water, which is sweet and fragrant. This is the world-famous third spring. The third spring in the world was commented by Lu Yu in Tang Dynasty. Lu Yu is a native of Tianmen, Hubei Province, known as Cha Sheng. He wrote a book about drinking tea, called Tea Classic. Because he studies tea, he also studies water.
4. The fourth spring in the world: Lu Yuquan.
Lu Yu Spring, originally from Guangjiao Temple in Shangrao, Jiangxi, is now Shangrao No.1 Middle School. In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu, a tea god, came to Shangrao in Xinzhou from the coast of Taihu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River in the early years of Zhenyuan (785-786). Soon after, a house was built in the northwest of the city, a spring was dug and a tea garden was planted. Because this clear spring is sweet in water quality, it is also rated as "the fourth spring in the world" by Lu Yu. Lu Yu Spring has excavated/kloc-0 for more than 200 years, which is recorded in ancient books.
It was well preserved in the early 1960 s, but it was a pity that the spring vein was cut off when digging a cave later. Now, the four seal characters inscribed by this unknown Mahayana mansion in Qing Dynasty are still preserved beside this ancient well spring as the only symbol for future generations to mourn the historic site.
