1) Zhenjiang is cold in spring:
Also known as Nanlingshui, it was famous all over the world as early as the Tang Dynasty. Liu recommended it as the first of the seven aquatic products suitable for frying tea in China. The middle cold spring was originally located in the middle plate of the Yangtze River west of Jinshan, Zhenjiang, and it was extremely difficult to get it. "There is water in the middle of the kettle (the original word' two' is three words' mouth') (that is, the water in the south is zero), but there are 90 Weng in Chashan." This is the description of Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang also wrote in a poem: "In the first spring of the Yangtze River, Nanjin came to Yuan Wen in the north, and people beheaded Loulantou and worshipped Yuxian in leisure tea." Nowadays, due to the expansion of the river beach, the cold spring in the middle has been connected with the land, just a landscape.
Known as "the first spring in the world", Zhongleng Spring is located on the bank of Taying Lake on the west side of Jinshan in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu. It was originally a clear spring in the rapids of rivers. The tea brewed with this spring water is mellow and sweet. In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Bo liked to name the spring water, and divided the spring water suitable for drinking tea into seven grades, and the cold spring water was rated as the first. As a result, Zhongleng Spring gained a great reputation, and people honored it as the first spring for thousands of years without changing it.
Jinshan was originally located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the northwest of Zhenjiang City, and is known as "a hibiscus in the river". According to legend, Fahai, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, sought gold here, hence the name Jinshan. The myth and legend of "the white snake is full of water and golden mountains" also comes from this. During the Qing dynasty, Jinshan was connected with the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the cold spring was also connected with the land. The five words "the first spring in the world" carved in Quannan were written by Wang Renkan, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. This address is a scenic spot for tea drinking and sightseeing.
(2) Wuxi Huishan Spring
Known as the "world policy of Er Quan". This spring was dug in the 14th year of Dali in Tang Dynasty, with a history of 1200 years. Zhang's Book of Fried Tea said: "The water content is seven points ... Huishan Spring is the second." Zhao, a great calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty (the original word is "Zhao" on the left and "Page" on the right) and Wang Shu, an official in the Qing Dynasty, wrote the book "The Second Spring in the World" respectively, which was engraved on the bank of the spring with vigorous and powerful handwriting and has been well preserved so far. This is the origin of "the second spring in the world". Huishan Spring is divided into upper, middle and lower pools. The upper pool is octagonal, transparent, sweet and delicious, and the water quality is the best; The pond in the middle is square, followed by water quality; The lower pool is the largest, rectangular and the water quality is the second. Princes, nobles, and literati all regarded Huishan Spring as a treasure. According to legend, Li Deyu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, was fond of drinking Huishan spring water, and often made local officials seal the spring water with jars and transport it from Zhenjiang to Chang 'an (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi) for thousands of miles. At that time, the poet Pi Rixiu wrote a satirical poem by borrowing the story of Yang Guifei's southern tour to send litchi: "The Prime Minister wanted to make tea for a long time, but the county magistrate was only worried about being late. Wuyuan went to the country for three thousand miles, don't laugh at Yang Fei's love for litchi. "
(3) Suzhou Guanyin Spring
It is one of the scenic spots in Suzhou Tiger Hill. In The Book of Tea, Zhang listed Shi Shui (Guanyin Spring) in Huqiu Temple in Suzhou as the third spring. Spring is sweet and water is clear and delicious.
(4) Tiger Running Spring in Hangzhou
According to legend, during the reign of Tang Chaoyuan, there was a monk named "Sexual Empty" who went to Tiger Run. Seeing the beautiful environment and pleasant scenery here, he wanted to build a temple, but without water, he could not express his sadness. At night, I dreamed that the fairy told me, "There is a boy spring in Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, and two tigers were sent that night." The next day, as expected, two tigers came, digging holes, and the spring water gushed out. The water was sweet and mellow, so it was named Tiger Running Spring. Ranked fourth in the country. In fact, like other famous springs, Tiger Running Spring has its geological foundation. To the north of Hupao Spring is a densely forested mountain range, and the underground is seasonal sandstone. After a long time, the weathering of rocks produces many cracks, and the groundwater is slowly poked out of the cracks through the filtration of sandstone. This is the real source of Tiger Running Spring. According to the analysis, the spring water has less soluble minerals and low total hardness, and the effective ion in each liter of water is only 0.02 mg, so the water quality is excellent.
(5) Baotu Spring in Jinan
It is the first of 72 local springs and the fifth in China. Baotu Spring is located in the southwest corner of the old city of Jinan, and there is a beautifully built "Guanlan Pavilion" on the southwest side of the spring. The Song Dynasty poet once wrote a poem praising: "Those who follow Yurun from afar shed dust from Shan Ye in the dark, nourishing the long-term warmth of winter and the taste of spring tea to the truth."
Generally speaking, in natural water, spring water is refreshing, with less impurities, high transparency, less pollution and the best water quality. However, due to the different water sources and flow paths, the dissolved substances, salt content and hardness vary greatly, so not all spring water is of high quality. Some springs, such as sulfur mineral water, have lost their drinking value.
