Human history

During the reign of Datong (527-529), Prince Xiao Tong of Zhaoming of Nanliang suffered from scabies when he was studying in the "Xiaojia Sutra Temple" in rufangshan. He once took a shower here and recovered, so he called the spring "Taizi Tang". Tang Xianzu, a dramatist in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his poem "seeing off guests and avoiding Hezhou", that is, "the ancient view is connected in the morning, and the prince spring is fragrant in the spring"; Wu Benxi, a scholar of Hezhou in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Prince Tang", that "in the old days, the spring water of Prince Tang flowed into the stream to drink night apes". In Nanliang of the Six Dynasties, there were "wenxuanlou" and "eryatai".

In 1090, the fifth year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Daguo discovered that pingkequan was "the benefit of one side". After he became governor of the state, he immediately built a soup pool, surrounded by more than 20 feet, and built a bath house and a dragon temple. In the fifth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1469), Dong Xi rebuilt the bath house with the same state. It was divided into two pools of men and women. In 1527, Yiluan, the governor of the state of Zhizhou, rebuilt "fangtang" and "Gaoyuan" to build a pavilion for listening and listening. In 1673, Xia Wei, the governor of the state, rebuilt it. In the 38th year of Kangxi (1699), Zhizhou Liu Changcheng and the deputy and acting district chief of hanlinquan District self defense forces raised funds to expand the open-air baths and rebuild the indoor baths. County magistrate Liu Guangpei inscribed "listen to the heart" and assigned special personnel to clean the bathrooms. After 1978, local people raised money to build men's and women's baths.

Wang Anshi, he Zhu, Li Zhiyi, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Wang Shouren, Zhuang Chang, Dai Chong, Cheng Minzheng and other scholars in the past dynasties were first and later Xiangquan, and all of them wrote poems. Many of the poems were carved into steles, standing before and after the Xiangquan bath. There are 72 pieces, which are called "forest of Steles" by later generations. It is understood that Xiangquan hot spring has a long history. As early as in the northern and Southern Dynasties, Xiao Tong, the prince of Liang Zhaoming, once bathed here for treatment. He was very happy when he got well. Chengxing inscribed "the best soup in the world" for Xiangquan. Since then, Xiangquan has become famous all over the world. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, there have been many literati, dignitaries and dignitaries who have come to visit in succession. After bathing and sightseeing, they have written a lot of poems and essays, leaving a lot of inscriptions. Xiangquan hot spring resort not only has a deep history, but also has beautiful scenery and complete facilities. There are more than 30 characteristic hot spring pools of different sizes in the resort, such as beauty series, Taizi soup, Qinxin garden, Siji soup, spa spa, supreme spring and geothermal zone.

Due to the Japanese invasion, it was completely destroyed, and now there is still the "first soup" monument. In the 11th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1532), there are three steles of "Xiangquan Jiayong" inscribed by Meihua people, and in the 4th year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (1624), there are three steles of "Xiangquan Fu" inscribed by Zhao Yingqi. There are two places where Xiangquan hot spring is exposed. One is a large spring pool, surrounded by dikes, with more than ten round spring eyes. The other is a small spring pool, with 6-7 spring eyes. Now it has been used as a bathroom. The distance between the two places is 40 meters, and the two places are closely connected with water. The total natural exposed area is about 2700 square meters, and the single hole self overflow is 120 tons / day, with a total self overflow of about 1600 tons / day. The water temperature is 47-50 ℃ And water inflow is stable in four seasons.

Medical function

The quality of hot spring water was analyzed and identified by geological experts of Nanjing University, who believed that "from the results of sampling and analysis, the hydrochemical type of hot spring water belongs to calcium magnesium sulfate containing radon, and the mineralization, total hardness, pH value, common anions, cations and some trace elements are similar to the famous Tangshan hot spring in Jiangsu Province, and the Bantang hot spring in Chaohu City."

From a medical point of view, due to the moderate water temperature and high sulfur content in the water, long-term use of this hot spring bath can treat rheumatoid arthritis and skin diseases.

On April 1, 1982, it was approved by the people's Government of He county as a key cultural relics protection unit of the whole county.
