Located in the north of the welcome room of Baotu Spring Park, it is named after the convection of two springs and the sunshine shining on the bottom of the water to form the water surface waterline.
The old golden thread spring, which is listed in the famous spring monument, is located in the northeast of Baotu Spring, between Shangzhitang and the fish exhibition room. Poems of Seventy-two Springs in Ming Dynasty and Records of Seventy-two Springs in Qing Dynasty are also recorded. The spring pool is made up of stones and squares. There is a long square stone on the wall of Chibei, which is engraved with the words "Old Golden Spring" in official script, belonging to Li Zhongyu, a contemporary calligrapher in Jinan. The pines and rocks in the west of the pool set each other off, the spring water in the pool is clear, the green algae float, and the goldfish swim.
This spring is a famous strange spring in Jinan. When the water is full, the spring water comes from both sides of the bottom of the pool, and the flow potential is equal. They intersect at the surface of the water, forming a waterline, flickering and shining in the sun, hence the name. Wu Zeng, a poet in the Song Dynasty, recorded the old golden thread spring earlier: the square pool of stone porcelain is wide, the spring is scattered below, and it pours into the moat of the East Gate, which is crystal clear. There is a gold thread in the north and south of the center of the pool, which hides the water surface. Take a corner of an oil drop and the grain disappears. Or mess it up with a stick, and then the line disappears and the water stops. In the Song Dynasty, gold thread was visible not only in the daytime, but also in sunny nights. Ceng Gong's poem "Golden Thread Spring" describes that jade porcelain is always fresh and fresh, and the golden thread is uncertain about the southern spring, and the clouds are entangled with beautiful algae, and the moon shines brightly.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the golden thread was still clear. Liu E, a litterateur in Qing Dynasty, wrote in Travel Notes of Lao Can: The scholar dragged Lao Can to the west of Chixi, bent down, cocked his head, looked at the water and said, Look, there is a line on the water, swaying on the water like a hairspring. Do you see it? The old man tilted his head and looked in the same direction. After watching it for a while, he said, right, right. What is the reason? He thought for a moment and said, could it be that there are two springs at the bottom, and their forces are hostile, so this line is squeezed in the middle? Scholars say that this spring has been recorded for hundreds of years. Have these two springs lost their strength after so long? Old remnant road: You see, this line often swings from side to side, which is why the spring force on both sides is uneven. The scholar will also nod. Later, the water surface narrowed, the water potential weakened, the pool was made of stone, and the gold thread was not common.
1956 When the garden was built, another golden thread spring was set up, so the spring was renamed as Old Golden Thread Spring.
The scenery in spring is beautiful. There are more literati, officials and gentry in history. This museum was built in the Song Dynasty. Du, a poet in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, once lived here and wrote the poem Su Jin Xian Quan. Wang Qingpeigou's Memories of the Old Country Garden shows that in the Yuan Dynasty, Xiuchun Garden was set up in its place, and the ratio of Tan Yin Zheng was almost the same as that of Jinling Banqiao. In the eighth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1869), Shandong Governor Ding Baozhen built Shangzhi Academy here, commonly known as Shangzhi Hall. In the 18th year of Guangxu (1892), a leisurely pavilion was built in the south of Jinxian Spring, overlooking the scenery of Qianfo Mountain. Shangzhitang building still exists today.
