Hot spring culture: hot springs

Huaqing Pool is the earliest hot spring in China, and it may also be the most familiar hot spring. It is known as "the first hot spring in the world". As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the hot springs here have been discovered and called "Star Soup". There was a "Li Palace" here until Qin Shihuang built a stone pool named "Li Shan Tang" and "Goddess Tang". Later, it was renovated and expanded by the Han, Sui and Tang emperors. By the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the palace was expanded, including Tang Chi. The palace was renamed Huaqing Palace, and Tang Chi was renamed Huaqing Pool.

Huaqingchi is famous for Yang Yuhuan, the love princess of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and the lingering love story between them. There is a kind of begonia soup in Tang Chi of Tang Dynasty in Huaqingchi. The plane in the pool is in the shape of a blooming begonia flower, which was given to Yang Guifei by Emperor Taizong as a love gift, also known as Guifei Pool. Yang Guifei's beauty is more charming because of the nourishment of hot spring water. "It was early spring. They bathed her in a pure flower pond to warm and smooth her creamy skin. "This is a poem in Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow. Because she was tired, a maid lifted her up, when the emperor noticed her for the first time and chose her as his bride. "It records Yang Guifei's charming attitude after bathing in Haitang soup, leaving the world with a beautiful' princess bathing'. It is said that Yang Guifei's long-term "only three thousand dotes on one" and Tang Xuanzong's charm still exists in his sixties and seventies, both of which have a lot to do with long-term bathing.

How many historical changes has Huaqingchi witnessed? The "Xi incident" that shocked China and foreign countries in modern history also happened here. 1959, Mr. Guo Moruo was deeply moved after visiting Huaqing Pool. He wrote the gold plaque of Huaqing Pool in his hand and wrote a poem happily: "Not only the palace pool was built, but now all the people are kings." Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, was not only an outstanding emperor in the history of China, but also an important figure in the history of calligraphy in China. With his own practice, he promoted the calligraphy in Tang Dynasty to become the most brilliant page in the history of calligraphy.

In the 18th year of Zhenguan (AD 644), Li Shimin built "Tangquan Palace" (now Huaqing Pool) in Lishan Hot Spring. In the 22nd year of Zhenguan (AD 648), the new palace was completed. Li Shimin led a hundred officials to visit the new palace, personally inscribed Wenquanming to celebrate the Lishan Hot Spring, and ordered masons to rubbings on the tablet to show their ministers, which was the first in the history of calligraphy in China.

"Wenquanming" said: "I am worried and worried, and the wind disease is repeated. Every time I fall into homesickness, I will be lost from time to time. " It turns out that Li Shimin suffered from rheumatism for many years, and it was in the hot springs of Lishan that he was cured. Li Shimin personally wrote an inscription for the hot spring with the respect of the Emperor, which shows that the world recognized and valued the hot spring at that time.

The original tablet of Hot Springs has been lost. Li Shimin's vigorous, elegant, unrestrained and mature calligraphy style can still be seen in the existing rubbings of the Tang Dynasty. We can't verify the origin of Tanggangzi Hot Spring, but there are historical records of soldiers bathing here during the crusade of Emperor Taizong. According to the Records of Haicheng County, hot springs were discovered in the 18th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty. According to Pishi, Emperor Taizong had been here during the crusade in Li Shimin, and went to the spring to "sit soup" (the locals called bathing as sitting soup). After bathing, he was very happy and set up a "prayer pavilion" as a reward. Tang Chi County was established here in Liao and Jin Dynasties, and the county was named after the spring. It is said that Jin Taizong once came here to "sit in soup". There is a monument to Niangniang Temple near the hot spring, which was built in Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty for three years. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Tanggangzi Hot Spring attracted many good men and women to compete for incense with its reputation of "famous pool and xiufeng", and merchants from all over the world also gathered here. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong returned to Shengjing three times to worship his ancestors and once bathed in the valley through Tanggangzi. Near the hot spring, there is a remnant monument that rebuilt Longwang Temple, which can be vaguely distinguished as "Rebuilding Longwang Temple Monument" and "Twenty-four Years of Qianlong (AD 1760)". Based on this, it can be considered that there used to be a Longwang Temple here, and when it was built and destroyed is unknown. According to word-of-mouth information, there is a site of Longwang Temple near Jinwen Hot Spring Reservoir. The temple was built at least twenty-four years ago (AD 1760).

Since the late Qing Dynasty, Tanggangzi Hot Spring has witnessed the heinous crimes committed by Japanese and Russian aggressors in the Northeast.

During the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese War, Japanese and Russian troops successively occupied Tanggangzi area. The invaders took a fancy to the magical spring water here and set up a sanatorium for officers and men to heal. 1904, Russian general Kurobatkin set up a sanatorium for officers and men in Tanggangzi Hot Spring. 1On August 30th, 905, the General Command of General Dashan of the Japanese Army moved from Dalian to half of the houses here, which was called "Manzhouli Army General Command" and used this place as "Military Rehabilitation Center".

In the early years of the Republic of China, Japan's "Manchukuo Co., Ltd." designed and built a large park centered on hot springs. At that time, the park area had reached 536,764 square meters, which became a famous amusement place of the puppet Manchukuo at that time. The uncle, second brother and third brother of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, as well as the Japanese Consul General in Fengtian (Shenyang), Dongyi, have come here for the summer several times.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Manchu Railway built Yuquan Pavilion and Duichui Pavilion. 193 165438 On June 3rd, Puyi lived in the Ducui attic here for a week.1On March 6th, 932, on the way from Lushun to Changchun, she came to Tanggangzi for the second time with the empress wanrong and the widow of Manchu.

Things have changed, and the history of humiliation in Tanggangzi Hot Springs is over. After the founding of New China, Tanggangzi Hot Spring, which has experienced many vicissitudes, is once again rejuvenated, becoming the largest health resort and chronic disease treatment center in China. She covers an area of 640,000 square meters, with 1300 beds and nearly 1,000 employees. This is the national physical rehabilitation physician training base recognized by the Ministry of Health, and it is also the location of Liaoning Rehabilitation Center and Liaoning Rehabilitation Medicine Research Association, and the editorial department of Chinese Physiotherapy Journal of Chinese Medical Association is also located here. /kloc-in the past 0/0 years, with the increase of opening to the outside world, through extensive cooperation with Russia, Japan, South Korea and other countries, it has gradually entered the world and become an international rehabilitation and physiotherapy resort. On the rockery to the north of Jingxin Lake Scenic Area, there is an exquisite pavilion called "Blessing Pavilion". According to legend, this is the "bathing place" where Li Shimin, the king of Tang Dynasty, crusaded.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin led an army to the East. After passing the Tanggangzi hot spring, the soldiers were exhausted. According to legend, Emperor Taizong's mount was unbearable for a long journey, and the horse lost its front hoof, but it was unwilling to step out of a pool of gold and jade. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed and went to Tang Chi to bathe. And let the soldiers rest, bathe and collect dust. The sacred spring will wash away fatigue and the morale of the army will be greatly improved. Seeing this scene, Emperor Taizong boarded the pavilion on the island behind him, stared at the east and made a wish: "If I return from the crusade, I will rebuild this pavilion to thank the God Spring." Heaven wished, and the Crusaders won. Emperor Taizong did not forget his promise, so he rebuilt the pavilion and named it "Blessing Pavilion".

In front of the pavilion, there is a bronze statue of Li Shimin, King of the Tang Dynasty. This bronze statue stands on a stone platform. The stone platform is about 2m high, 3m long and1.5m wide. In front of the stone platform, there is the word "bathing the statue of the king of the Tang Dynasty". The portrait of the vertical horse of the Tang Dynasty on the stone pedestal is in proportion to the real horse. The king of Tang dynasty faces the east, with firm eyes and resolute face. The stepped mount has swollen nose and exposed tendons. The whole bronze statue is lifelike. This villa was built in the early 1920s. Longquan Mountain Villa is built in the west of a big spring eye. It is said that this villa was built by Zhang, then the military and political leader of Northeast China, for his third aunt.

Zhang was originally from Haicheng, Liaoning, less than 40 kilometers away from Tanggangzi Hot Spring. Zhang heard of Tanggangzi Hot Spring when he was young. So, after making a fortune, he built this villa here for his family to rest and vacation. General Zhang Xueliang and Nai Fu both like Chinese architecture very much. Whether building villas or luxury houses, they are basically Chinese-style buildings. For example, the commander-in-chief mansion of Zhang's father and son in Shenyang and the commander-in-chief mansion of Lin Yuan built for his father by General Zhang Xueliang in Fushun area are all standard Chinese buildings.

Longquan Villa is such a building with obvious China architectural style. The building area of the villa is 1.370 square meters, facing south, with Chinese architecture, three floors and brick-wood structure. The roof is made of black and gray tiles. The three ridges are all made into flower holes, and the ends of the ridges are decorated with dragon tail kisses. All the vertical ridges on each floor are hung with animal plastic, and the cornice ridges are hung with animal plastic. Gables have skylights, there are two ridges on the mountain, and colored waterproof paint is decorated along the ridges under the eaves. The main wall is blue brick, and there is a first floor wing made of blue brick on the top of the second slope of the hanging mountain on the west side of the building. The main wall in the east is a long corridor, and there are seven rooms of 1 1.2 square meters in the west. There are 28 rooms in the main building. There is a small main hall at the main entrance, facing the stairs leading upstairs, and the east-west corridor runs through it. On the south side is the room, and the room decoration facilities are all ordinary plastered white-walled wooden floors. Of the 28 rooms, 10 is an ordinary room and 10 is a superior room, which is used to receive the staff and officials of China Railway Corporation. Koreans are actually a people who like bathing more than Japanese, but the hot spring culture is not as rich as Japan. They are no less than Japan in hardware facilities. The hot spring soup in Korea seems to be getting better and better, and the soup head and bath have developed significantly.

In the early hot spring area, there were no advanced facilities, let alone the so-called hot spring town atmosphere. A new hot spring hotel and hot spring public bathhouse are getting bigger and bigger, claiming to be the first in the East, and a school of Korean soup challenges the scene of Yamato soup. Koreans are especially good at making "medical stone steam bath" and various "Chinese ovens" in bathhouses in Chinese. In recent years, they have even introduced jade soup unique to Japan and South Korea, bath made of Korean jade, and sauna made of loess. Let the bathers all over the world go in droves.

Hot springs in Korea are being developed and improved vigorously, hoping to surpass Yamato Soup. Of course, there is still a long way to go to reach the status of Japan's hot spring kingdom, but Korean soup has great potential, great development potential, lower price than Daiwa soup and strong competitiveness.

The biggest feature of Korean hot springs is humanized service. Most hot springs are divided into indoor, outdoor and children's areas. In addition to various massage pools, the dressing room also provides towels, cosmetics, hair dryers, drinking water, weight lifting machines and back massage free of charge, which is very considerate. The services for women are even more dazzling: bathing, full-body beauty massage, meridian massage, foot massage, napping, manicure, moxa dressing and other beauty projects. It is said that Korean women are beautiful because they soak in hot springs; The second is makeup.

Hot springs in Korea are different from those in China. Most of the hot springs in China are volcanic, and the water will stimulate the human body. The strong smell of hot springs such as sulfur is a bit "baked". South Korea's hot springs are granite spouts, with low water temperature and delicate water quality, which is of great benefit to the skin. There is also a seawater-green tea mixed rock seawater hot spring extracted from the underground 120 meters, which is soaked in the green tea mixed hot spring. The tea is fragrant and the whole body is soft and comfortable.

There are 80 kinds of hot springs in Korea. Famous hot springs include Mount Kumgang, Jinpu Yao Yan, Yidong, Rucheng, Longchang Haitian, Shuianbao, Hongchuan, Baiyan, Chishan and Gyeongju.
