Extended data:
Black Dragon Pool is a famous Taoist resort, which is divided into upper and lower views and evolved from Heishui Temple in Han Dynasty. Shangguan was founded in the Tang and Song Dynasties, formerly known as Longquan Temple, and Xiaguan was founded in the Ming Dynasty, commonly known as Heishui Palace.
According to Hanshu Geography, there is a Heishui Temple in the northwest of Mianchi County, Yizhou. Ruan Yuan, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in Qing Dynasty, made a textual research: "There is a Heishui Temple in Dianchi County, which was built here, or located between Tang, Mei, Song and Bai, and the Dragon Palace moved here." That is to say, the Heishui Temple in Han Dynasty is now the Black Dragon Pool Taoist Temple and the first scenic spot in Yunnan.
Because it is said that the Dragon Palace of Yunnan Dragon King and Black Dragon is here, and the pool water here will not be exhausted all year round, it was later called "Black Dragon Pool". Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, ordinary people in Kunming have come to Heilongtan to offer sacrifices and pray for rain. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Gongmu family in Guizhou built a large number of buildings here, and renamed Dragon Shrines the Black Dragon Palace. The whole Longquan landscape began to take shape.
Since then, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the governor of Yunnan has repeatedly repaired the Longquan concept, and the regulations have been continuously improved. During the Republic of China, it was called Longquan Park.
Shuo Qing, a Manchu poet in Qing Dynasty, once wrote such a couplet: "Two trees and plum blossoms are in a pool of spring water, and it is misty and rainy at all times." In just fourteen words, it accurately summarizes the main landscape and natural scenery of Black Dragon Pool.
There are nearly 90 varieties of red, white and green plums with more than 6,000 plants, forming a new landscape called "Exploring Plums in Longquan", which is one of the new scenic spots in Kunming 16. Heilongtan Meiyuan, covering an area of 427 mu, is one of the largest Meiyuan in China.
