Pipa spring

Pipa spring

Pipa spring is located in the southeast corner of Huancheng Park and the west side of Heihu spring. It is included in the record of 72 springs in Qing Dynasty. It is named for the sound of the water, just like the rhythm of the pipa. In 1965, it was renovated into a square stone pool 6 meters long, 5 meters wide and 2 meters deep. The water gushed from the rock hole at the bottom of the pool, overflowed from the north bank, and fell into the river. Standing on the pipa bridge, it was interesting to enjoy the spring and listen to the music.

brief introduction

Pipa spring is in the west of jiangshuiquan village, under the hillside on the west side of outer ring road. The spring flows out of the stone gap and into the pipa shaped pool made of stones. The dry season is dry.

The original shape of the spring pool was irregular. In 1965, it was renovated into a square stone spring pool 6 meters long, 5 meters wide and 2 meters deep, surrounded by carved stone railings. The water gushes from the rock hole at the bottom of the pool, overflows the north side of the pool, and then flows into the South Moat. Visitors can enjoy the spring scenery at Pipa bridge on the east side of the spring and Qingyin Pavilion on the southwest side. However, due to the spring crisis in Jinan in recent years, its gushing situation is not as good as before

Pipa spring is located in the southeast corner of Jinan Ring Park and the west side of Heihu spring. It is included in the record of 72 springs in Qing Dynasty. It is named after the string of bubbles at the bottom of the pool, which burst on the surface of the water and make a sizzling sound. People listen to it at night, just like the rhythm of pipa. The spring pool was originally irregular. In 1965, it was renovated into a 6-meter-long, 5-meter-wide and 2-meter-deep square stone pool, surrounded by carved stone railings. The spring pool stretches into the moat, 1 meter higher than the river. There are two stone steps on the outer wall of the pool. The spring water overflows the spring pool, and flows through the stone steps, making a pleasant sound, as if playing a pipa. In fact, this is not the real wonder of Pipa spring. What's wonderful is that in the high water period, the sound of Pipa can also be heard underground. According to geologists' research, under the pipa spring is Ordovician dolomitic limestone, with large and small karst caves and troughs between them. The underground water gushes and rushes, slapping the hollow rock, thus making a moving Pipa sound.

There is Pipa bridge in the east of the spring and Qingyin Pavilion in the West. Visitors can listen to the sound of the spring and enjoy the scenery of the spring.

There is a stone arch bridge on the east side of the spring, which was built in 1964 and named "Pipa bridge" because of the spring. The weeping willows at the end of the bridge are blowing gently. People on the bridge can overlook the "strings" and listen to the "music". There is a high Pavilion in the west of the spring, which is called "Qingyin Pavilion". Sitting in the pavilion, you can also listen to the sound of Pipa spring, and enjoy the beautiful posture of Pipa spring and the surrounding scenery.

The legend of Pipa spring

It is said that there is an iceberg at the end of the sky. There is a crimson grass on the iceberg. Anyone who can see her will never suffer. A young man named gimme decided to look for her.

Jimei came to the foot of the iceberg after all the hardships. It was covered with ice and snow everywhere and there was no road. But he was very happy because he saw the hope. At this time, an old man came to Tongbai and said, "young man, I sleep at the foot of the iceberg. Once I wake up for ten thousand years, I hope someone will accompany me every time I wake up. If you come today, just accompany me."

Before Jimei spoke, the iceberg turned Jimei into a stone, and the iceberg went to sleep. Jiangzhucao saw all this on the iceberg, so she came to the rock at the foot of the iceberg, and was moved by Jimei's bravery and sincerity, so she couldn't help crying. Her cry was like the sound of a pipa. Because of the loss of dew, crimson pearl grass will not be able to return to the iceberg. At the foot of the iceberg, it turns into a spring. People call it Pipa spring. Pipa spring forms a stream at the foot of the iceberg. People call it Pipa river. She played music day and night, waiting for Jimei.

"Fishing for money" by Pipa spring

Many people have done this: to put a few coins into the pipa spring for good luck. But there are also some citizens who use magnets as coins to "catch" others.

On the afternoon of March 5, 2006, the reporter saw by the pipa spring that a middle-aged man was carrying a four meter long string with a palm sized circular magnet tied to the end of the string. After looking at the position of the coin at the bottom of the spring, the middle-aged man quickly tossed the magnet in his hand, and soon "fished" a coin up. In nearly an hour's time, there were at least ten pieces with a face value of one yuan and fifty cents

He "fished" the coins he didn't wait for.

This kind of "fishing for money" behavior caused controversy in Pipa spring. Mr. Yu, who was watching, told reporters that just now an old man put in a one yuan coin and bowed respectfully. After the old man left, the coin was immediately "fished" by others. "The money put in by the front foot is fished away by the back foot. I don't think it's appropriate for money fishers to do so." Mr. Yu said.

Mr. Sun, a citizen, declined to comment on the behavior. He said: "if the money fishers are trying to make small profits, they should not do so in this way." Uncle Liu, who lives near heihuquan, thinks: "some people are willing to put in coins, as long as the person who does not put in coins is not present, this is beyond reproach." There are also some people who say that throwing coins is just for "good luck", but it's not good for coins to soak in the water and pollute the water. "Fishing" coins is a kind of "environmental protection behavior".
