Baotu Spring Park is a natural landscape park with natural spring water as the main landscape, which combines the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens and has a distinctive national style. It is one of the famous tourist attractions in Jinan. Together with Daming Lake and Qianfo Mountain, it is also known as the three major scenic spots in Jinan. Baotu Spring is the crown of 72 springs in Jinan, and is known as "the first spring in the world". It forms Baotu Spring Group with more than 20 nearby spring groups such as Jinxianquan, Shuyuanquan, Liuxuquan and Mabaoquan. Baotu Spring is clean, crisp and sweet, and the water temperature is constant at around 18 degrees Celsius all the year round. Three springs splash water, and "sudden flying" is one of the eight scenic spots in Jinan. East Gate: Baotuquan Park has three gates. The gate of this national style building with white walls, gray tiles, rolling hills and sheds is the east gate of Baotu Spring. The three gold-plated characters "Baotu Spring" on the door plaque were inscribed by Comrade Guo Moruo when he came to Jinan in 1959.
Rockery: As soon as we entered the gate, the first thing we saw was this rockery. This rockery was built in 1964, which is made of rocks in the southern mountainous area of Jinan. These rocks are called North Taihu Stone because they are similar in stone and color to Taihu Stone in Wuxi, Jiangsu. Do you know why you want to build a rockery at the door? This is to use the method of "blocking the scenery" in China's classical gardening art to leave the beautiful scenery in the garden behind, giving people suspense and arousing the idea of continuing to visit. There is an old saying in China, turn right at the peak. Now, please turn right with me and continue to visit.
Qingyuxi: What we are seeing now is a great wonder of Baotu Spring, with clear sky in Wan Li, but what we are looking at is the fog and raindrops on the stream, like rain on a sunny day, so it is called Qingyuxi.
Shi Gui: We say that a famous garden must have a famous stone. In front of us is such a famous stone-Shi Gui, which is a famous Taihu stone collected by Zhang, a essayist in Yuan Dynasty. Take the meaning of prolonging life.
Shu Yuquan: Wang Qingquan in front of me is also one of the 72 springs in Jinan, named Shu Yuquan. It can be seen that the word "Shu Yuquan" was written by the late Jinan painter Guan Yousheng. There are different opinions about the origin of Shu Yuquan, one of which comes from the idiom "washing a stone pillow" "Shuyu" spring replaces jade with stone, which more appropriately expresses the clean and moist water quality of the spring. It is also said that women's teeth were called "jade" in ancient times. Li Qingzhao, a famous patriotic poetess in Song Dynasty, often refreshed herself with spring water when she lived here, hence the name. There is another saying named after Li Qingzhao's collection of words Shu Yuquan, but it is impossible to verify whether there is a collection of words before the name of the spring or whether there is a name of the spring before the collection of words.
Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall: The classical building on our right is "Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall". It was 1959, which was built according to the records of Li Qingzhao's former residence near Shuyuanquan to commemorate the outstanding poetess in the Song Dynasty. The memorial hall covers an area of 300 square meters and has the architectural style of Song Dynasty. 1999 expansion, now covers an area of more than 4000 square meters. Surrounded by pavilions and streams, it is one of the largest Li Qingzhao memorial halls in China. In the picture we see now, Mr. Guo Moruo wrote a poem for Li Qingzhao in 1959. The front is A Generation of Poets, followed by Telling the Story of the Future. This is a few words from a poem written by Guo Moruo for Li Qingzhao Memorial Hall. The whole poem is: "a generation of poets lived in their former residence, but unfortunately they drifted for half their lives." Today, they are deserted, and they are writing books for future generations. " The plantain, begonia and osmanthus planted in the yard were all plants that Li Qingzhao liked before his death.
Baotu Spring Scenic Area: Dear group members, we are now in the main scenic area of Baotu Spring. First of all, let me look at Luoyuantang's couplets. Look at the woodcut couplets hanging on the pillars of Luoyuantang, which were written by Zhao Mengfu in Yuan Dynasty. The first link is; The bottom line is: "Waves shake Daming Lake". This word is written by Wei Ti, a famous contemporary calligrapher, Mr. Ba Jin. Luoyuantang, Emei Temple and three temples are isomorphic to form three scenic spots.
Baotu Spring: Baotu Spring has a long history and was called Dragon in ancient times. According to our right front, there are several stone tablets. Please have a look. First of all, the word "Baotu Spring" was inscribed by Hu Yongzong, governor of Shandong Province in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know if I noticed, but the word "tu" is a little missing. Why? There are two versions. It is said that this expresses people's hope that Baotu Spring will gush out forever, without end, and it was written on purpose; There is a saying that Baotu Spring gushed out very vigorously in those years, and the spring water washed away the dots of sudden characters and reached Daming Lake along the river, so the word "Ming" was added to the doorplate of Daming Hunan. In fact, the water from Baotu Spring flows into the moat, the Xiaoqing River into the Daqing River, and finally into the Bohai Sea. The word "Guanlan" was written by Zhang Qin, the Shandong ambassador in Ming Dynasty. The first spring tablet was inscribed by Wang Zhonglin in Qing Dynasty.
Guanlan Pavilion: The pavilion on the west side of Baotu Spring is called Guanlan Pavilion, which is an excellent place to watch Baotu Spring.
Laihe Bridge: There is a beautiful legend about why the spring water of Baotu Spring is clear and sweet. A long time ago, a group of cranes came here and their beautiful images were reflected in the water. Seeing how beautiful they are, they cried with joy. The heavenly queen is feasting the immortals. When she heard the sound on the ground, she picked up a glass of wine and fell down. The wine has just spilled into Baotu Spring. Since then, Baotu Spring has been more delicious. It is because of this legend that we call this small bridge in the east crane bridge. Xiaoqiao was originally built by Zhang in Licheng County during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573- 1620). Originally a wooden bridge, 1956 was changed into a stone bridge when it was opened as a park. On the archway of Qiaotou, it says "Pengshan Old Traces", and on the other side, it says "Cave in Heaven and Blessed Land".
Nandamen Scenic Area: We are now at the south gate of Baotu Spring. The south gate was built in 1995, imitating the Song Dynasty. Suzhou is the most famous building in China. However, I believe that any friend who has been to Suzhou has never seen such a magnificent city gate. Its building area is 65,438+0,575 square kilometers, which is magnificent. Known as "the first garden in China" by landscape experts. There are three plaques on this door: Kangxi's "turmoil"; Wang Xizhi mentioned "Luoyuanmen"; Gan Long wrote "Baotu Spring".
Wang Xuetao Memorial Hall: Wang Xuetao Memorial Hall is located in Cangyuan. Wang Xuetao, formerly known as Wang Tingjun, was born in Cheng 'an County, Hebei Province. He was a famous flower-and-bird painter in those days, and once served as the president of Beijing Painting Academy.
Wanzhu Park: Founded in the Yuan Dynasty, it was named after many bamboos in the garden. It took nearly ten years to call on skilled craftsmen to rebuild. Covering an area of 65,438+0.4 hectares, the park has absorbed the architectural features of Beijing Wang Fu, Southern Gardens and Jinan Siheyuan. There are 13 courtyards, and there are more than 186 houses in front and behind the courtyards. There are famous springs such as "Wangshui" and "Gaodong" in the courtyard. Li Kuchan Memorial Hall, a master of Chinese painting, is located in it.
