Pearl Spring

Located in the north of Zhenzhuquan auditorium on jinquancheng Road, Zhenzhuquan is named because the bubbles at the bottom of the pool are like pearls. It is said that the string of "pearls" in the Pearl Spring was formed by the tears of the two concubines of Shun, e Huang and nu Ying. Pearl spring is the third famous spring in Jinan. There are many small springs around it.

Many fish in the spring pool (most of the fish in Jinan spring are brocade scales), showing vitality. We can also see that kind-hearted people bring big white steamed bread to feed them. Compared with Daming Lake, it's really a paradise for fish.

Pearl Spring

Pearl spring is located in the west of the southwest foot of Dingshan mountain in Pukou District of Nanjing. It has been "the first place to visit Jiangbei" in Jinling since ancient times. It is one of the main geothermal resources in Nanjing with abundant underground water and excellent water quality. The people of the Ming Dynasty highly praised that zhuquanjia was located in the north of the river. Visitors from far and near came in an endless stream, like ants. Qiluo string pipe was shining in the valley.

The history of Zhenzhu spring can be traced back to Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, who was a eminent monk and legally built Dingshan temple. After that, the Indian monk Dharma crossed the river to Dingshan temple, facing the wall for several years. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a severe drought in Jinling. The area west of Pukou was still rich in crops because of the pearl spring water. The local farmers did not know the drought. More than 30 buildings, platforms, pavilions and pavilions were built in the center.

Nanjing Pearl Spring is listed as a National Water Conservancy Scenic Spot, a national AAAA scenic spot, and a Provincial Park in Jiangsu Province.

As early as in the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty established the temple at the foot of Lion Peak for eminent monks. Surrounded by incense, pearl spring began at this time. After that, the Indian monk Dharma crossed the river to Dingshan temple, facing the wall for several years.

It has formed a beautiful landscape integrating landscape and garden. There is an endless stream of tourists. It is known as "the first place to visit Jiangbei".

In 1984, the people's Government of Nanjing decided to rebuild the scenic spot, and it was listed as the key tourism development project in Jiangsu Province - Nanjing Pearl Spring Tourist Resort. The resort center is pearl spring scenic spot, one of the "40 scenic spots in Jinling", accounting for 14.76 square kilometers. In addition to many cultural relics of the Southern Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are also scenic spots and entertainment places that people enjoy and are developing: Pearl Spring source, Jingshan lake, boats, bamboo rafts, fish watching, fishing, meize Pavilion, Chunfeng Pavilion, Meihai ningyun, Yequ and forest activity area, golf course, Chinese alligator breeding Park, horse racing course, archery field, wooden house, grottoes, lucky amusement palace , Wanguo villa, Dingshan Pavilion restaurant, etc. Pearl Spring Scenic Area for people living in increasingly crowded and noisy city, the environment of fresh and quiet is hard to buy money.

It is a good place for Nanjing to take the natural landscape as the main body and integrate tourism, entertainment, vacation and recuperation.

Pearl Spring Tourist Resort has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Pearl spring has been known as "the first place to visit Jiangbei". Around the Pearl Spring, surrounded by green hills, grotesque rocks and elegant environment. The source of pearl spring is like a string of pearls gushing out from the stone crevice, so it is called "Pearl Spring"; whenever visitors gather or clap, the "Pearl" in the spring is more and more sick, like welcoming guests, so it is called "Xike spring"; overlooking the Pearl Spring, it is like sunny and drizzle, so it is also known as "Qingyu spring". Yingpan mountain, 1.5 km northeast of the resort, is a group of ancient tombs in the late primitive society. Its discovery not only makes archaeologists a big step forward in exploring the primitive civilization of Nanjing, but also strongly proves that the Yangtze River is the birthplace of Chinese national culture as well as the Yellow River.

During the northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang believed in Buddhism and built "Dingshan Temple" for eminent monks under the lion peak of Dingshan mountain on the east side of pearl spring. At that time, Dingshan temple was full of incense, and believers came in droves, and pearl spring also attracted people's attention.

During the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty (1436-1449), although there were many literati visiting pearl spring, there was no obvious construction. Zhuang Chang, a famous scholar who reviewed the Imperial Academy during the Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Dingshan for nearly 30 years because of the frustration of officialdom. He built dozens of scenic spots near Pearl Spring. Due to the scenery of Pearl Spring and the fame of Zhuang Chang, many celebrities and scholars came to visit the forest, drink and write poems, leaving many well-known poems. "Linchi suddenly feel the soul of the tour" and "a water light shake ten thousand Dendrobium beads" are the true portrayal of pearl spring.

In 1590 A.D., there was a great drought in Nanjing. The "fields were all red and withered". Only Zhenzhu spring outside the west gate of Pukou city was more than 20 miles along the way, green and green. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, as if they didn't know the drought. This shows that pearl spring is not only a scenic spot, but also a source of irrigation and water conservancy. At that time, limited to the understanding of science, people thought that it was the Dragon King who was blessing, so they began to build a series of garden buildings with the Dragon King Pavilion as the main body in the Pearl Spring Area, in order to express their gratitude to the "Dragon King". These landscapes greatly enrich the style of pearl spring scenic spot.

In the 180 years from Ming Dynasty orthodoxy to Wanli, pearl spring has been built in different scales. It is known as "the first place to visit Jiangbei". Many poems, travel notes and works about pearl spring came into being. "There are tens of pavilions, pavilions and platforms, which are listed like embroidery", "the couples who visit each other are looking for no empty day", "the tourists who walk all the way are like new people in the three islands of Yingzhou", "the tourists from far and near come in an endless stream like ants, the winding pipes are shining in the valley, and the Pearl Spring is located in the north of the river!" And so on, eulogizing the historical scenic spots and magnificent rivers and mountains in Pukou.
