The first spring outside the pass

In Cangshan valley of Chicheng, there is a famous hot spring, which is located in Chicheng County. Wenquan is about 6.5km away from the county in the East, Chengde in the East, Xuanhua in the west, Guyuan in the north and Beijing in the south. Chicheng hot spring is a mineral spring with high curative effect. If you come here to take a bath and recuperate, you can eliminate diseases and diseases, prolong your life and stay in your face. Chicheng hot spring has a long history. As early as in the Northern Wei Dynasty Li Daoyuan's Shui Jing Zhu, there are records. In July of the 18th year of Liao Dynasty (1000 A.D.), the eldest son of Empress Dowager Xiao, Shengzong yelulungxu, once lived here. In the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1578 AD), Huang Yingsu, the censor of Zhili, set up a monument here and praised Chicheng hot spring as "the first spring outside the pass". In the first month of the 11th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1672 AD), Emperor Xuanye accompanied his grandmother to take a bath here to treat eye diseases. Kangxi inscribed the word "Xixin", which is as big as Dou, and was engraved on a stone tablet, which is still in use. In order to express his determination to resist Japan and wash snow, general Ji Hongchang wrote the word "wash shame" when he visited here in May 1933, which is as clear as ever. Chicheng hot spring is a kind of high temperature mineral water. The highest temperature of the hot spring is 68 ℃. It is a hot spring with high temperature, weak alkali and a variety of trace elements. The water temperature and chemical content of the six springs are different due to different exposure locations. Zongquan, also known as gunchi, is located under the Yonggui Pavilion. The total spring flow is 0.516m/min, the water temperature is 68 ℃, the total alkalinity is 4.9, and the acidity is 8.0. The water contains more than 30 kinds of chemical substances and radioactive elements, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, lithium, bicarbonate, carbonate, chloride, sulfate, chlorine, iodine, radon, etc. Hundreds of years of bathing practice and scientific research results in recent years show that rolling pool water has special bathing effect on rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertrophic arthritis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, cold waist and leg pain, neurotic, allergic, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, urticaria, pruritus, ringworm, scabies and other skin diseases, and the cure rate is more than 80%. In addition, it has certain curative effect on nervous system, digestive system and circulatory system diseases, such as brain trauma sequelae, peripheral neuritis, chronic gastritis, cholecystitis, early hypertension, thrombophlebitis, etc. Weiquan is located 30 meters to the south of Zongquan. It has a unique curative effect on digestive system diseases. Therefore, people are competing to drink it. Eye spring is located on the south slope opposite the hot spring hotel building. There is a Mingmu Pavilion on the spring. Washing eyes with Mingquan water can cure all kinds of ophthalmia. It can also improve myopia and presbyopia, and make them feel bright after washing. Tracheitis spring is located 120 meters southwest of the total spring. Oral administration, nasal sniffing (the effect of radon) or bath therapy have obvious effects on the treatment of respiratory diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, mild emphysema and bronchial asthma. At present, the development of hot spring places are "better than Chicheng hot spring" reputation, in addition, there are Pingquan and cold spring, to be used and developed. After the founding of new China, Chicheng County established a hot spring sanatorium here. After years of construction, in the hot spring area, there are green pines and cypresses, green waves, flowers and fruits, beautiful scenery, pavilions and pavilions, waterfalls and picturesque seasons. It is an ideal resort for recuperation and tourism. Every year, the patients come from 18 cities and autonomous regions.

The first spring outside the pass generally refers to Chicheng hot spring

Chicheng hot spring, also known as Tangquan, is known as "the first spring outside the pass". It is located in Cangshan Valley, 7.5km west of Chicheng County. Chengde in the East, Xuanhua in the west, Guyuan in the north and Beijing in the south. It is known by geologists as the second spring in the world after Beijing Yuquanshan hot spring. It is a provincial tourist resort.

brief introduction

Chicheng hot spring, also known as Tangquan, is located in Cangshan Valley, 7.5 km west of Chicheng County, 140 km away from Zhangjiakou. Chicheng County has a quiet environment and pleasant climate. The annual average temperature is between 12.6 ℃ and 26.1 ℃, which is known as "no coal for heating, no fan for cooling".

Around the mountain green, lush trees, gurgling springs, temples hidden. Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei dynasty recorded in shuijingzhuicheng hot spring: "there is Tangquan in the north of Yuyang (now southwest of Miyun County in Beijing), which is 300 li away from Yanjing (Beijing)". It can be seen that Chicheng hot spring has a long history. There are many monuments, such as inscriptions and temples. Emperor Kangxi accompanied his grandmother empress Xiaozhuang Wen to stay here for more than 50 days. Ji Hongchang, a famous Anti Japanese general, also "washed his shame" here during the period of the Republic of China. The natural hot springs with sufficient water can be divided into 6 springs: general spring, eye spring, stomach spring, Pingquan spring, tracheitis spring and cold spring. Due to the different water temperature and chemical substances, they can be divided into different convalescent areas for the treatment of skin diseases, stomach diseases, eye diseases, respiratory tract diseases and wind cold diseases.

Mineral water knowledge

（1） What is soup spring and hot spring? The basis of judgment is: hot hands (water temperature is higher than 40 ℃) are "soup spring", and non hot hands (water temperature is about 40 ℃ or lower than 40 ℃) are "hot spring".

（2） What is mineral water? Water is an indispensable material for human life activities. The earth we live in is rich in water. There are two kinds of water on the earth: one is the water on the surface of the earth, such as the water of rivers and lakes, which we call surface water; the other is the water existing in the deep crust, such as well water and spring water, which is called groundwater. It is different from ordinary water in three aspects: 1. The water temperature is relatively high, so it is called hot spring, soup spring and hot water bubble. But there are also a few cold springs with low temperature. 2. It contains special high concentration chemical components, such as sulfate, carbonate, sodium, potassium, iron, fluorine, radon, uranium and other radioactive elements. 3. It contains gases, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, etc., so many bubbles often come out from underground.

（3） How is mineral water formed? Mineral water is a kind of underground mineral resources, which is gradually formed in some strata of the crust through complex geochemical changes. Deep inside the earth, the temperature is very high, the pressure is very high, all the material can become a flowing molten state, which is called magma. When the extraordinary magma rushes out of the earth's surface, the volcano erupts. The magma that doesn't rush out of the earth's surface cools and solidifies in a place not too deep underground. Most of the water vapor contained in it condenses into water, but the temperature is very high. If the water encounters a crustal fissure, it will gush out and form a mineral spring, which is called volcanic high temperature mineral spring. The formation of another mineral spring is related to the deep circulation of groundwater. As we all know, the ground temperature in the deep underground is higher than that on the ground. The surface water penetrates into the ground and is stored in the deep impermeable rock through the coarse rock. Under the long-term effect of underground high temperature and high pressure (hundreds of years, thousands of years or more), it gradually dissolves various chemical components in the rock and becomes mineral water. This kind of mineral water gradually reaches the stratum fissure and gushes out of the ground to form mineral spring. This kind of mineral spring is called circulating water mineral spring. Chicheng Tangquan belongs to this kind of mineral spring.

（4） Why can mineral water cure diseases? Mineral water therapy is a very popular treatment method at all times and in all over the world. As for the medical effect of mineral water, there are long historical records in China. For example, the stele of zhangheng hot spring in the Eastern Han Dynasty mentioned: "if there is a disease, there is a hot spring.". "The story of the world" says: "the girl has a bad disease. She bathes in the hot spring and gets better at the right time.". According to the annotation to the water classic, "the warm soup produced by the stone of DARONGSHAN can cure all kinds of diseases.". The compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty contains that "Lushan hot spring has four holes, which are warm in all seasons, and can cook eggs Fang Tu's patients with scabies, wind scabies and bayberry sores eat and drink in the pool. After a long bath, they sweat, and then recover in ten days. From a medical point of view, the main reason why mineral water can cure diseases lies in the physical effects of temperature, pressure and buoyancy of mineral water, the medicinal and chemical effects of mineral water quality components, and the comprehensive results of biological effects of nerve reflex and brain regulation.

（5） The genesis of Chicheng hot spring the genesis of Chicheng Tangquan is due to the influence of Mesozoic orogeny, the newly formed bedrock of Yanshan Mountains caused many complex folds and fractures. Chicheng Tangquan is just at the intersection of the cutting fault layers of nanbeigou and dongxigou porphyry granite. After a considerable period of fault development, it forms a good channel for groundwater to contact with the heat source in the deep crust. Meteoric water seeps into the deep part of the earth's crust below 20 km through various complicated channels along the rock fissures, and then is stored in the rock stratum with stable structure, rich chemical substances and impermeable. Under the action of high temperature and high pressure caused by the residual heat of magma for a long time, various trace elements in the rock are gradually dissolved in water, which forms high temperature mineral water. Under the control of the structure and topography, it finally upwelling along the fault channel, thus forming the circulation channel
