Hello poster: The first spring in the world: Gulian Spring The second spring in the world: Huishan Shiquan The third spring in the world: Hupao Spring The fourth spring in the world: Lu Yuquan The fifth spring in the world: Daming Temple Spring in Yangzhou The sixth spring in the world: Zhaoyin Spring The seventh spring in the world: White Milk Spring The eighth spring in the world: Nanchang Hongya Waterfall Spring The ninth spring in the world: Huai water source The tenth spring in the world: Longchi Water on the top of Tianchi Mountain in Lushan The following is a detailed introduction, I hope it can To solve your problem: The best spring in the world: Gulian Spring. The best spring in the world is located in the Kangwang Valley (today's Xingzi County) south of the main peak Dahanyang Peak. It is called Gulian Spring. According to legend, Lu Yu (733-804 AD), a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, was famous for his love of tea. He wrote the world's first monograph on tea, the "Tea Classic", and was known as the "Tea God". Lu Yu was very knowledgeable about the water for making tea. He traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of his motherland, tasted the clear water and clear springs in various places, ranked the springs according to the deliciousness of the tea, and confirmed that the Gulian Spring in Mount Lu was "the best 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... Gulian Spring was evaluated by Lu Yu, its reputation doubled, and it became famous all over the world. Literati from past dynasties came one after another and tasted the water and wrote about it. After Wang Yucheng, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, studied the Gulian Spring water, he said about this spring water in the "Preface to Gulian Spring": "Its taste is unbeatable. If you boil it with tea, it will look like floating clouds and scattered snow, which is completely different from the well spring water." Wang Anshi, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty Zhu Xi, Qin Shaoyou, Bai Yuxu, etc. all visited and tasted Gulian Spring with great interest, and left splendid poems. Bai Yuchan made the following sketch of the flowing Gulian Spring and the scenic spots in the spring area: "The Purple Rock Waterfall is long, the vegetation is deep and the fog and rain are miserable. A cicada breaks out of the bamboo, and two herons cross the east stream and west. Step into Among the green and purple emeralds, there is an altar where immortals fight against each other. The bamboo branches are heavy with dew and are still wet, and the clouds in the pine trees are deep and cold. "
Lu Yu's magical ability to detect water is not just a case of distinguishing Nanling water. , its identification of the curtain spring in Lushan Valley can also be said to be a "good thing" in pairs, no coincidence.
After witnessing Lu Yu identifying Nanling water, Li Jiqing asked: "From this point of view, can you judge the quality of the water you have experienced?"
Lu Yu replied: "It can be said that the Chu River (the basin south of the Yangtze River) is the first in the world, and the Jin River (the Yellow River basin in Shanxi) is the lowest." Lu Yu immediately ranked the twenty grades of water: "The water curtain water of Kangwang Valley in Mount Lu is the second. First, Wuxi Huishan Stone Spring Water is second..."
Kangwang Valley in Lushan Mountain is also known as Lushan Ridge. "Xingzi County Chronicle" records: "In the past, when the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty united the six kingdoms, King Zhao of Chu Kang was embarrassed by Qin General Wang Jian and fled here, hence the name." Kangwang Valley has springs deep in the mountains, originating from Hanyang Peak, and the middle road is blocked by rocks. The water flow is like hundreds of thin strands of water scattered down one after another. From a distance, it looks like a bright and crystal bead curtain hanging in the valley, so it is named Gulian Spring.
Lu Yu was invited to be a guest by Xiao Yu, the censor of Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi). During the chat between the two, Xiao Yu disagreed with Lu Yu's judgment that Gulian Spring was the best spring in the world. He said: "There are so many famous springs in the world, why should Gulian Spring be the first?" In order to convince Lu Yu, Please ask Xiao Yu to order his soldiers to go to Kangwang Valley to draw Gulian Spring for personal evaluation.
Two days later, the soldiers returned from collecting water, and Lu Yu personally made tea with the water. After tasting the tea, all the guests present raised their cups frequently and praised repeatedly, thinking that they had tasted the delicious taste of Jiaquan. Some people said: "Brother Hongjian is really worthy of being a master of spring evaluation, and Gulian Spring is indeed well-deserved!"
Lu Yu was very happy after hearing this, but when he raised the cup and took a sip, he frowned and asked, "Hey! This water - I'm afraid it's not Gulian Spring, right?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. . Xiao Yu hurriedly called the soldier who was collecting water to ask, but the man insisted that it was Gulianquan.
At this awkward moment, Zhang Youxin, the governor of Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province), arrived. He had long known that Lu Yu loved Gulianquan the most and he was also interested in making tea, so he specially carried it. A jar of Gulianquan came to add to the fun.
Lu Yu then used Zhang Youxin’s water to cook tea and asked everyone to re-evaluate it. A burst of laughter soon came from the banquet: "Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods. This water is worthy of the name of Gulian Spring."
The soldiers on the side were already so frightened that they could not speak. Come. It turned out that he did get the Gulian Spring at that time, but when he passed Poyang Lake on his way back, due to strong wind and waves, he accidentally knocked over the altar full of Gulian Spring. In order not to be blamed for being late, he drew a jar of water from Poyang Lake to deliver the message. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu found out with one "mouth".
In terms of authenticity, this matter seems to be more credible than the matter of distinguishing Nanling water, because the two kinds of water are stored in two containers, and it is more surprising to be able to identify the difference. convince. However, it is a bit mysterious to identify the difference between two kinds of water stored in the same container.
However, if we compare the historical accounts, the Gulianquan incident can only be regarded as an anecdote, and there is no need to believe it. Because according to historical records, Lu Yu died in 804, and Zhang Youxin did not pass the Jinshi exam until 814, and was later moved to be the governor of Jiangzhou. How could Zhang Youxin, as the governor of Jiangzhou, review Gulianquan with Lu Yu? Because this story is the same as the story of distinguishing Nan Lingshui, it should be regarded as a "saying" that people at that time respected Lu Yu as the God of Tea. [Edit this paragraph] The second spring in the world: Huishan Stone Spring——————————————————————————————————————
Details of this spring, Tea Saint Lu Yu After tasting twenty kinds of spring water in the world, it was ranked second, hence the name "the second spring in the world". Li Shen, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, loved this spring in his hometown and went to Beijing with it. He gave it to his friend and colleague Prime Minister Li Deyu. After tasting it, he specially ordered a post station to send the water from the second spring all the way to Chang'an. So Erquan became famous all over the capital. Su Dongpo, a literary giant of the Northern Song Dynasty, came to taste the spring many times and recited the poem "I alone carry the small moon in the sky; I come to test the second spring in the world". Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also ordered the water from the two springs as tribute, "the moon enters a hundred altars". When Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was flowing south, he specially inscribed the four characters "source of living water" on the spring. He also ordered a pavilion to be built to protect the spring. The Yuan Dynasty calligrapher Zhao Meng (Songxue Taoist) specially wrote on the forehead of the spring. The stone carvings still exist in the spring pavilion. In the Ming Dynasty, the stone chi head was carved and placed in the lower pool of the two springs, forming a scenic spot of "Chi kissing the flying spring". In the Qing Dynasty, Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong came to visit the spring six times respectively.
Now the Erquan Courtyard has three spring pools, the upper, middle and lower springs. There are stone carvings from the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, a Quan Pavilion, a Yilan Hall, and a huge Taihu stone "boy worshiping Guanyin" that was moved here in the Ming Dynasty. The scenery is simple and elegant [edit this paragraph] The third spring in the world: Hupao Spring————————————————————————————————————————
In Xishui Five miles upstream from Lanxikou in the county, there is a stone cave under the cliff on the riverside of Xitan'ao, which is as big as a rice jar and about three feet deep. There is spring water flowing in the cave, which is sweet and fragrant. This is the world-famous third spring.
The third spring in the world was commented by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty. Lu Yu is a native of Tianmen County, Hubei Province and is known as the Tea Sage. He wrote a book specifically about tea drinking called The Classic of Tea. Because he studied tea, he also studied water.
Why did he comment on this water as the third spring?
According to Zhang Youxin's "Jiancha Shuiji" of the Tang Dynasty: The Chu monk's tea-cooking records said that Li Jiqing was an official in Huzhou during the reign of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty. When the governor arrived in Weiyang, he met Lu Yu and saw that Lu Yu had written in his notes: "Qishui Lanxi is the third water under the stone, and it is one of the twenty waters." "Jiancha Water Notes" also writes: "The spring water commented by Lu Yu is from King Kang of Lushan Mountain." The Gushui Curtain Water is the first, Wuxi Huishan Temple Stone Water is second, Qishui Lanxi Stone Water is third, Xiazhou Fanzi Mountain has a sudden rock, the shallow water is cool and turtle-shaped, the saying goes that the toad mouth is fourth, Suzhou Huqiu Temple The spring water is fifth, the Hengtang water under the Zhaoxian Temple in Lushan is the sixth, and the Lingshui in the south of the Yangtze River is the seventh. It can be seen that the "third spring in the world" of Lanxi was indeed rated by Lu Yu, but it was a letter passed down by Zhang Youxin. Wang Yu of the Song Dynasty had a poem "Lu Yu Tea Spring" : "The moss on the autumn stone is several feet deep. Try to taste the taste of tea and have a close friend." "But in the middle of the night, when the moon is shining over the spring, Mr. Liuzhao is with one heart" (see "Qishui County Chronicles" in the sixth year of Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty). This completely confirms the relationship between this spring and Lu Yu.
The famous Jingling sect of the Ming Dynasty Tan Yuanchun also wrote a poem called "Boat out of Lanxi to find Hongjian's third spring to leave behind the beauty of Bu Gong Suizhi": The river is bright in one county, and Xiegang is connected to the village many times. , The soul of the boat in the distant fire. In Lu Ziwu's hometown, the tea heart has always existed. He not only admires the "third spring in the world", but also has a longing for his fellow countryman Lu Yu (zi Hongjian). He also has "Huang Yishi from Lanxi". When I came to visit the third spring of Luhong, I saw the relics and received the poem "Qingzhen Cave Secret Joy and Harmony": "Luzi tea is sacred and comes and goes in Zhouqiu." The water mirror is bright in the distance, and the cold blue sky is bright and sad. I worship at the foot of Huishan Mountain and pull up my canopy to get a glimpse of where it is... Feeling the swaying nature of the orchid creek's spring. The long river dare not enter, and the maintenance is also Kongzhou..." He has been to the second spring of Huishan in Wuxi, and compared it with "the third spring in the world", which is enough to prove that the "third spring" is well-deserved.
Ying Zhen, a minister of Taichang Temple in Wanli and Ming dynasties (originally from Huanggang and later moved to Xishui), wrote the poem "Three Springs and Pools Sutra": "The paths are filled with purple water, and the teeth of the three springs are falling with cold plums." Bamboo shadows on the cliffs and cloud crossings are reflected by the mountain light and greenery." He even described the scenery of the "third spring in the world".
The third spring in the world has charming scenery, clear water, sweet and delicious water. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Shao Yinglong, the magistrate of Xishui County, also wrote a long poem. The title of the poem is "In the twelfth lunar month of the lunar month, there are guests offering tea in the Lanxi River. It is the third spring. Lu Yu also picks up a pen to write a poem." The full poem is:
I traveled from the mouth of Jingkou to the center of the river, and the first spring was bright and clear.
I also visited Yihui Spring from Xishan Mountain. The spring water is clear, fragrant and refreshing.
Don't hear him outside the two, the tea tripod and the pine wind weigh both armpits.
Today I went to Lanxi to get drunk and cooked ice and snow in a red stove.
Ice and snow taste bitter and too cold, and good water is hard to find from Zhaobi.
Suddenly someone came to pay a dragon ball, and the water in the cup was soft and white.
My withered intestines need three bowls of water, and I feel like the breeze is blowing in my armpits.
What is strange is where this flavor comes from. It is quite similar to Jinshan Huiquan liquid.
If you inquire about the origin of the elders carefully, you will find that the cloud is very close here.
The third spring of Lu Yu in the Tea Book, the name of Xichuan resort.
I came to Bochu and went up the cliff to find the relics of the former sages.
The source of the spring is half an acre of square pond, with thorns and thorns crisscrossing the road.
Lingqiu is not stained by dust, and the mirror surface is flat and illuminates the blue eyes.
Go home with several urns of clear springs in hand, and cook my diaphragm quickly with live fire.
The eyes of a crab look like the eyes of a fish at first sight, and the wonderful method is about to be passed on to Hongjian.
From this poem, we can fully understand the springs and sources of the three springs. Moreover, there are many weeds and flowers on the spring.
Nowadays, people have not come close to the ancient ruins of Sanquan, but they can see a majestic modern building in the distance - Lanxi Bridge, spanning both sides of the Xihe River. The vast green fields and the rainbow set off it can be said to be a beautiful natural picture. Wang Tinglong, the magistrate of Xishui County in the Ming Dynasty, carved five powerful characters on the rock wall of Longtan Spring: "The Third Spring in the World". Hundreds of years later, the handwriting is still very clear.
The legendary story is that Su Dongpo drew water from the Third Spring in the World
The water from the Third Spring in the World is not only clear and refreshing, but also extremely sweet. It is especially used for making tea. It is fragrant and the cup does not foam. , the tea gas rises five feet without dissipating. According to legend, King Anshi of the Song Dynasty once asked Su Dongpo to bring water from the "third spring in the world" to Beijing. Dongpo forgot about it, so he took water from the river on the way. Wang Anshi made tea and asked Dongpo: "This is not the water from the third spring." , why did you lie to me?" Dongpo had no choice but to tell the truth. The next year, Dongpo personally went to the "Third Spring" to draw water, took it to Kyoto and said to Anshi, "I'm so sorry, please forgive me." Wang Anshi made tea with the water, took a few sips, smiled and said to Dongpo: "Do you still think I don't know the taste? Thank you, this is the water of the third spring. I hope you will never mix the false with the true, and pass on the false with the true!"
At that time, Wang Anshi was implementing reforms in the court, and Su Dongpo began I was a little opposed, but after hearing what Wang Anshi said, I no longer objected to Wang Anshi.
"Eighteen Returns to the South" and "The Third Spring in the World"
According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led 830,000 horses to the south of the Yangtze River, hoping to eliminate Sun Quan and Liu Bei in one fell swoop. , so as to unify the country and monopolize it, but unexpectedly, in the "Battle of Chibi", Soochow and Liu Bei jointly resisted Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was defeated. In the end, only 18 generals were left and fled in defeat. These 18 people all rode The horse couldn't cross the river, so he had to go down the river, planning to cross the river by boat back to Xuchang, Henan. If ordinary people suffered such a disastrous defeat, they would be discouraged, but Cao Cao was a "treacherous hero". He rode a bay red horse and wore a dragon robe and walked in the front. He sat on the horse and laughed loudly, saying "Heaven will never stop Cao!" It turned out that he He was looking for water to drink. The vast surface of the Yangtze River was full of dead bodies. The river water was stained red with blood. The river water was no longer drinkable. What should I do? Looking up, he could only see a house in the distance. When he walked to the current No. 1 house in the world, When I looked at the village of Sanquan, I saw that every house was empty, not a single person, not a grain of grain, not a drop of water. When I was in trouble, God really helped Cao Cao. Suddenly, his horse lowered its head to drink water. It turned out that there was a man by the river. When Cao Cao saw the Qinshui Tanger, which was as big as a dustpan, he clapped his hands and laughed and said repeatedly: "God has given me this life-saving water!" So he got off his horse and lowered his head to take a sip of water and drank it. He felt that the taste was sweet and better than nectar, so he Then he called the seventeen soldiers with him to come and drink water. They all drank until their bellies were full. After drinking the water, the eighteen people sat down to rest and talk. Some said: "There seems to be something in this water." It's like sugar." Some said, "This water is like ginseng or bird's nest soup." Some said, "This water tastes better than any other water. It quenches thirst and hunger."
"Everyone said that Cao Cao was interested. They saw him stand up and draw his sword. Everyone was puzzled. It turned out that he was interested and wanted to make a souvenir here. He thought: From now on, if I unify the world , We must make a big fuss about this spring." So he counted only eighteen people and went back to Henan. This was a historical commemoration. He would never forget this lesson, so he picked up his sword and stood on the stone wall by the river. Four large characters "Eighteen Returns to the South" were chiseled hard on the top, and a line of small characters below said Cao Cao's book.
Later, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Lu Yu. He traveled all over the world and tasted spring water all over the world. He drank the water from Taipa and lived there. Later, he wrote a book. The book is called "The Classic of Tea". He called this Qinshui Danpa "the third spring in the world" and wrote it in the "Classic of Tea". From then on, the reputation of the third spring in the world spread throughout the world. [Edit this paragraph] The fourth spring in the world: Lu Yuquan————————————————————————————————————
A volume of scriptures, Tiao [ Speech from the rain to the stream] Wisdom is demonstrated by the stream.
Thousand-year-old sacrificial ceremony, flags and guns playing with gods in the wind
——Anonymous
Lu Yuquan, formerly in Guangjiao Temple, Shangrao, Jiangxi, is now the No. 1 in Shangrao City High school. Lu Yu, the tea god of the Tang Dynasty, came to Shangrao, Xinzhou to live in seclusion from the shores of Taihu Lake in the south of the Yangtze River in the early Yuan Dynasty of Emperor Dezong (785-786). Soon after, he built a house, dug a spring, and planted a tea garden in the northwest of the city. According to the "Shangrao County Chronicle": "Lu Hongjian lived at Guangjiao Temple in Chashan, northwest of Fucheng. In the past, Lu Yu lived here in the Tang Dynasty, and it was named Donggangzi. Yao Ji, the governor, lived here. The marsh was dug in the shape of a pond, and the stones were piled in the shape of Songhua. "The hermit Shen Hongqiao lived here. He was fond of tea, and there were several acres of tea gardens around it. A spoonful of Lu Yuquan was called Chashan Temple." Lu Yu rated it as "the fourth spring in the world". The Tang poet Yu Jiao (751-814) wrote in his poem "Inscribed on the New Mountain House in Shangrao by Lu Hongjian" that "the pavilion is opened to store clouds, and the stone is cut to get the spring first". Lu Yuquan has been excavated for more than 1,200 years and has many records in ancient books. Zhang Youyu of the Qing Dynasty wrote in "Rebuilding the Tea Mountain Temple": "A few (miles) north of Xinzhou City, there is a tea mountain where Wu is standing firm. There is a spring at the foot of the mountain, which is white in color and sweet in taste. Mr. Lu Hongjian hid in Taste and tasted Si Spring, which was ranked fourth in the world, so it was called Lu "Yuquan." It was still well preserved until the early 1960s. Unfortunately, the spring vein was cut off when "digging holes" later. Today, there are still four ancient wells and springs inscribed by Duan Dacheng of the Qing Dynasty: "The source is clean." This seal character has become the only symbol for future generations to pay homage to the historical site.
When Lu Yu was living in seclusion in Shangrao, he dug rocks to divert springs and planted tea gardens, which had a profound and beautiful influence among generations of local monks, lay officials, and officials. Chashan Temple and Lu Yuquan have become famous scenic spots in Shangrao in history, and many people have written poems praising them. Liu Jingrong said in "Visiting Chashan Temple. You Yin":
There is a spring in Chashan Temple in the north of Xincheng, and the remains of Lu Yu are there. Yu Su read the "Tea Classic" and knew that he was an outstanding talent. He was knowledgeable in classics and history, and he devoted himself to the Tao. He was invited to swim in the lakes and seas, taste the springs in the world, and enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers. He lived a carefree life and was romantic through the ages. I have been admiring it for many years, and now I have visited Xinying Camp to visit this place. I love and admire it all, and stop with my ambition.
Hongmeng first judged that this mountain was open,
A handful of sweet springs came out.
The monks planted the fragrance of tea full of sutras,
A few rows of green bamboo were planted by the old monk.
The bells are ringing in the Zen courtyard today,
I recall the tripod-crotch boiling music platform of the past.
The person who carries the hidden economic knowledge is not there,
The flowing wind is always in the white clouds.
The monks and others [Shang Riwen] said in "Poetry of Drinking Lu Yuquan in Chashan Temple":
Looking at the clear sky at the entrance of Qingluan Mountain in Beikuo,
Gao Xian Once upon a time, there were hazelnuts and thorns.
The roots of the clouds are green after the rainy day,
The sound of jade cracking through the forest is heard.
A scoop of laurel and vines can make a house.
I still wake up after being drunk with seven bowls of fragrant floats.
Enjoy the fun of Donggang in your leisure time.
I don’t envy Canglang Yong Zhuoying.
Gong Xiuling of the Ming Dynasty said in "Mu Yu and Wu Ding Taoist Li You Tour the Four Wonders of the Tea Mountain" (recording two of them):
The second one
One spoonful Clear and clear water.
Juanjuan has no ancient or modern meaning.
No one can see the empty mountain,
I want to see Pinquanxin.
The third one
In the past I heard about mulberry and ramie seeds,
Xiao San was not home.
Look at the place where chrysanthemums are planted.
There were several flowers in bloom.
Among the many calligraphy works praising Lu Yu left by the ancients in Shangrao, there is no one more famous than the title of "Lu Yu's Spring Couplet" by an unknown author: "A volume of scriptures, Tiao [Shangyu Xiayan] by the stream testifies Wisdom of industry; celebrations for thousands of years, flags and spears playing with gods in the wind." This couplet not only works wonderfully, but also highly summarizes the tea god Lu Yu's outstanding contributions to tea science and tea culture in China and even the world. It is admired and worshiped by people from generation to generation. [Edit this paragraph] The fifth spring in the world: Yangzhou Daming Temple Spring——————————————————————————————————————
Yangzhou Daming Temple is the “No. 1 spring in the world” "Five Springs"
Yangzhou Daming Temple is located at the middle peak of Shugang in the northern suburbs. There is Pingshan Hall in the temple. It is said that Ouyang Xiu built it in February of the eighth year of Qingli in Song Dynasty (1048), taking the meaning of "all the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, bowing before the threshold, if you can climb them". After Pingshan Hall is Gulin Hall, which was built by Su Dongpo in memory of his mentor Ouyang Xiu. Behind Gulin Hall is the "Ouyang Temple". In addition, there is the Jianzhen Memorial Hall built in 1973. To the west of Daming Temple is the West Garden, which has always been praised by people. It was built in the first year of Qianlong (1736) and rebuilt in the 16th year of Qianlong (1751). It is also known as Pingshan Hall Imperial Garden. In the garden, there is a pond dozens of feet long, with waterfalls and springs, and twists and turns. From the mountain pavilion to the boat house, a well-covered pavilion with a windlass is built in the pool, imitating the ancient Meiquan Pavilion. A lotus hall is built in front of the pavilion. There is a rocky edge to the south, and there is a well in the rock gap. The wise monk Zhi Cangming dug the ground here to get a spring, which is this well. There are three characters of "Fifth Spring" carved on the side of the spring well, which were written by Xu Jiugao, the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty. Next to it is the waterfall viewing pavilion, and behind the pavilion is the plum blossom hall. The wall is made of strange rocks, with a stream between the two walls. There is a gurgling spring in the wall. In the past, the bamboos were cut open and connected with bamboo nails to draw water from five springs and store it in the monk's kitchen. There is an ancient poem that says, "Bamboo from the springs was introduced to slip through the kitchen." To the right of the West Garden is the Fang Garden.
The fifth spring in the west garden of Pingshan Hall is the fifth spring in the world listed in Zhang Youxin's "Jiancha Shuiji". Ouyang Xiu expressed objections to this. After Ouyang Xiu was demoted, he moved from Chuzhou to Yangzhou and became the governor of Jiangdu. Because his official career was bumpy and his ambitions were not met, he often went out to express his love for the mountains and rivers, drink wine and compose poems. One day, he came to Daming Temple. The old monk in the temple saw a state official coming. While saluting, he sent the young monk to make fragrant tea. Although the old monk knew the identity of the visitor, his attitude was indifferent. He believed that Ouyang Xiu was just a demoted official. He might have lived in vain and did not necessarily have a great knowledge in his heart.
After a while, the young monk brought the tea. Ouyang Xiu took a sip and asked the old monk where the water for making tea came from. The old monk suddenly showed a proud look on his face and replied: "This water comes from a spring in this temple, which has always been called the 'fifth spring in the world'." After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu asked disapprovingly: "Excuse me, Master. I don't know what the basis is for saying it is the 'fifth spring in the world'? "
"This is what Zhang Youxin said," the old monk replied, and he found Zhang Youxin's "Jiancha Shui Ji" and gave it to him. Ouyang Xiu.
"Zhang Youxin has not traveled all over the world, and naturally he has not tasted the spring water in various places. He just took it for granted and rated the spring water as seven grades. This approach is not advisable." Ouyang Xiu unceremoniously dismissed the old monk's army.
The old monk brought out the tea sage Lu Yu again and said that Zhang Youxin wrote it based on what Lu Yu said. The Lingquan in Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang is the first, the Huishan Stone Spring in Wuxi is the second, the Huqiu Stone Spring in Suzhou is the third, the Guanyin Temple water in Danyang County is the fourth, the Daming Temple spring in Yangzhou is the fifth, the Songjiang water is the sixth, and the Huaishui For seventh. How can the tea sage’s theory be wrong? The old monk's tone was firm and quite confident. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xiu pursued him and asked, "Master, it is true that Zhang Youxin's words came from Lu Yu, but who did Lu Yu base his words on?" The old monk was speechless.
Ouyang Xiu said to the monk very seriously: "In the world of the Tang Dynasty, the surging Yangtze River was in the south and the rolling Yellow River was in the north. There were countless rivers, lakes, springs and wells. Lu Yu and Zhang Youxin had not traveled through several states. The seven springs they rated were limited to one corner in the southeast. Who can guarantee that there is no good water outside the Great Wall, up and down the Yellow River, in Tianfu, Sichuan, and in the vast Chu land? Lu and Zhang did not taste water from all over the world? , how can it be trusted if he makes such a conclusion rashly?" He also said that everything must be investigated and investigated, and we must not copy others' opinions and pick up others' wisdom. This view was so reasonable that the old monk was sincerely convinced and admired him very much.
Ouyang Xiu said goodbye to the monks from Daming Temple and returned to his home. On the same day, he wrote the article "A Note on the Spring of Daming Temple". The article praised the spring water of Daming Temple as "the most beautiful water", but it neither crowned it as "the world" nor said it belonged to it. After the article was written, someone was sent to the old monk of Daming Temple to ask for his corrections.
The old monk was very impressed after reading it. From then on, he became good friends with Ouyang Xiu and kept close contact with him. The spring water in Daming Temple is indeed clear, sweet and good for tea. Although the old monk still often introduces it to people, it is no longer said to be the fifth spring in the world. This legend has been passed down to this day, but people still praise Daming Temple Spring as the fifth spring in the world.
Now, the Wuquan Teahouse is newly built in the West Garden of Daming Temple. After visiting the scenic spots in Shugang, people sit in the tea house to take a rest and taste the new tea brewed with the water from the Five Springs. The fragrance leaves the cheeks, which is really a pleasant enjoyment. [Edit this paragraph] The sixth spring in the world: Zhaoyin Spring——————————————————————————————————————
Zhaoyin Spring
Zhaoyin Spring is located at the Three Gorges Bridge in the Lushan Guanyin Bridge Scenic Area. The spring water is as clear as blue and tastes as sweet as sugar. It is also known as
"The Sixth Spring in the World".
The name of Zhaoyinquan is closely related to Lu Yu, the tea saint of the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, there are two origins of the word "Zhao Yin". One is that Lu Yu once lived in seclusion in Tiaoxi, Zhejiang, and was known as "Tiao Yin", which evolved into "Zhao Yin"; the other is that Li Jiqing, a high official at the time, summoned him to live in seclusion. Lu Yu came here, and because "Zhao" and "Zhao" have the same pronunciation, people called this spring Zhaoyin Spring. There used to be Lu Yu Pavilion next to Zhaoyin Spring, where Lu Yu used to live in seclusion and make tea. It is said that Lu Yu made repeated comments here and designated this spring as "the sixth spring in the world".
Zhaoyin Spring is a fissure spring. The spring water flows out from the cracks in the bedrock. It is clear in color and sweet in taste, and the flow is endless. A well was built around the spring to prevent the water from being polluted. According to water sample analysis, Zhaoyin Spring water contains very few impurities and has a salinity of 0.13 g/L, making it a high-quality drinking spring water. [Edit this paragraph] The seventh spring in the world: White Milk Spring——————————————————————————————————————
Provincial-level scenic spot Bengbu Jing On the northern slope of the mountain, there are towering ancient trees and durian forests like the sea. This place has been a wonderful and quiet place since ancient times. According to legend, there was a white turtle flowing out of a spring here in the Tang Dynasty, and there was "White Turtle Spring" in Jingshan Mountain. Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, visited here and made tea with spring water. It was fragrant and refreshing, and tasted as sweet as sugar. When the spring water was poured into the cup, it was higher than the surface of the cup without overflowing. It was amazing that copper coins could float on it.
Su Dongpo praised this spring as "the best spring in the world" and left a poem "What I saw when I visited Tushan and Jingshan with my two sons on the last day" as a commemoration. In the poem, "Jingshan Mountain is green, and the Chu River is clear and chaotic." "Turtle spring has wooden branches emerging, and milk and stone ponds are overflowing." This spring has left an eternal line. Later generations changed the name of the spring to "White Milk Spring". In 1965, Guo Moruo inscribed it himself. There is a giant tree growing beside the White Milk Spring. It is simple and vigorous, with a canopy like a canopy and luxuriant branches. In midsummer, it blocks the sun and covers the Taoist courtyard, making it quiet and pleasant. Next to the hackberry tree is a tall sycamore tree, which is over a hundred years old. There is a double-topped golden tile spring pavilion under the tree. Mr. Lin Sanzhi, a famous contemporary calligrapher, inscribed "The Seventh Spring in the World" in 1987. In midsummer, the pomegranate flowers are as red as fire in July, and the cool and quiet White Milk Spring is a good place for tourism and leisure.

The source of the Huai River is located at the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain at the junction of Hubei and Henan, in Shaotongbai County, Henan Province (in the Tang Dynasty) (Tangzhou, Shannan East Road). During the late Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu visited tea tasting springs along the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Han River Basin in Jingchu. He went to Tongbai County to taste the water from the source of Huai River and rated it as "the ninth best water in the world".
In ancient times, Pinquanists had considerable objections to Lu Yu’s inclusion of the source of Huaihe River in the "Shuipin". For example, Xu Xianzhong and Zhou Lvjing of the Ming Dynasty said about the Huaihe River in "Liupin" of "Shuipin Quanzhi. Volume 1": "Zhang Youxinji (Note: Zhang quoted Lu Yu's 20th "Shuipin" in "Jiancha Shuiji") The Huai River in Shuiyuan is also in the category. The Huai River is turbulent and turbid, and it is connected with the sea air. It has not been able to eat food since the past. It is connected with the river, and the water is a big illusion. Li Ji (note: Li Xiuqing Jueshuo Lu Yu Lun II) The source of the Huai River is listed in "Water Products") The source of the Huai River in Baiyan County, Tangzhou is common. "As for the water from the source of the Huai River, is it "inedible since ancient times"? Or is it "the ninth best water in the world" as Lu Yu rated it in "Water Quality"? Let’s leave it aside and leave it to scholars and experts to further demonstrate.
But since the tea sage Lu Yu has listed the "source of Huai River" as the best water in the world, we can still give readers a brief introduction to the scenic spots in the rivers and mountains at the source of Huai River.
The "Boyan County" mentioned by Lu Yu in "Shuipin" is today's Tongbai County, Henan Province. Tongbai County is the birthplace of the Huaihe River, one of the four major river systems in my country. In the sixth year of Yanxi (163) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Huaidu Temple" was built 15 kilometers southwest of Tongbai County. Later, in the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1014) in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was moved from the original location to Dongguan, the county seat. There have been additions and repairs since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is a temple where officials and people of all dynasties worshiped the God of Huai River. Recalling that when Lu Yu came to Tongbai County, he should have first gone to Huaidu Temple to worship the water god, and then climbed to Tongbai Mountain to find the source of the Huai River and taste it. So where was the place where Lu Yu tasted the spring?
The water in Tongbai Mountain Shuiliandong is pure and sweet, better than many famous springs. Maybe it was the place where Lu Yu tasted the spring? Shuiliandong, 5 kilometers west of Youbai County, is surrounded by mountains and green pines and cypresses. It is one of the famous scenery in Tongbai Mountain. Shuiliandong is about 20 meters above the ground. It makes a crisp and pleasant sound; the water from the source of Huai River also seeps from the cracks in the rocks into the cave to form a spring. The entrance to the cave is covered by the waterfall pouring down from the top of the mountain, like a bead curtain hanging down. There are steps and iron chains along the stone wall that you can climb up and enter the cave. Although it is scorching hot in midsummer, the cool air is still refreshing and refreshing. Since ancient times, this place has been an ideal place for tourists to escape the summer heat. There is a mountain temple built next to the Shuiliandong River. On the walls of the temple, there are poems and inscriptions written by literati and tourists from past dynasties, praising the wonder and beauty of Shuiliandong. Among them is a poem called Qijueyun:
A crystal curtain hangs down from the middle of the mountain.
It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky;
No one in the past or present can capture it.
The moon hook hangs in the sky beside the blue clouds.
In the later period of Tianbao, Lu Yu also tasted the Shixia Water of Lanxi in Qizhou, Zhongling Water in the upper reaches of Jinzhou of Hanjiang River in the Han River Basin, and Luoshui in the west of Shangzhou Wuguan. His "Tea Cooking Notes" have a total of twenty articles. [Edit this paragraph] The tenth spring in the world: Longchi water on the top of Tianchi Mountain in Lushan Mountain————————————————————————
The water on the top of Tianchi Mountain in Lushan Mountain is the “No. Ten Springs”. Lushan Mountain accounts for three of the top ten famous springs. This shows that Lu Yu has a special liking for Lushan Mountain water. Many years later, Yi Shifu, a modern poet who lived in seclusion next to Qixian Temple, gave the "Sixth Spring in the World" attached to his residence to famous celebrities Zhang Zhidong, Chen Baozhen and others at that time. The latter also used it as a gift. Write a poem and answer the question. Although it was a game among scholars, it also revealed the status and influence of Lushanshui in tea culture. The Lushan culture, which is full of water vapor, also vaguely enlightens us: from water, the basic proposition of life, we can grasp and interpret the direction and vitality of the culture of harmony between man and nature.
