spring water

In dawuliushan, there are three springs. The top one is called sieve spring, now called pearl spring. The middle one is called Xieyuan, which has the largest area. As the name suggests, when people go inside and step on the mud under the water, they will continue to sink. The more people move, the faster they sink, just like falling into a swamp. The bottom one is called mapazi spring, which is now called Longquan, hence the name of Longquan Lake.

The so-called Longquan Lake is actually a large dam surrounded by two mountains.

There is a beautiful legend about the three springs, and Longquan has never dried up since it was recorded. Unlike pearl spring, which often stops flowing, Xieyuan often dried up. According to the old people in the village, the water in Longquan was too strong, and there were no waterproof facilities. Wuliu people suffered a lot. Before liberation, a landlord covered the main spring with a big pot to stop its flow, so that it dried up once in three years during natural disasters. People organized excavation to dig out the iron pot, but before it was dug out, the spring gushed out.

It is said that as long as the Pearl Spring is dry, some old women in the village will organize groups to climb the spring and climb up along the mouth of the spring. In this way, they will climb up and down ten times in turn. In a few days, it will rain and the spring will gush out again. It is said that it is very smart. Until the 1990s, there was a big drought, and women still went to climb the spring.

Culture

make wine

It is said that from the Qin and Han Dynasties, this area had the habit of brewing and drinking Shaojiu. Bai Juyi, Wang Ji and many other literati are reluctant to leave here for a long time because of the good mountain, water, spring, wine and spice girls. From the East Wuli road of dawuliu, there is a swamp with a radius of 56 Li. In the middle of the swamp, there is a highland. On this highland, there is a wine making workshop, which makes wine with dawuliu's mapazi spring. The winemaker of this workshop is called mapazi spring. The village under the spring is Wuli Village, which is now dawuliu village.

This swamp is located in the northwest of Jiagou Town, Suzhou City, where there is no village in the front and no shop in the back. In this swamp, there is a little-known old private wine making workshop. The owner's surname is ma. The wine he brews is called "Dao Zi Shao". It is brewed from the mixed spring water of two springs in a hill five miles west of the workshop. These two springs are now dragon spring and Pearl Spring. Now, Longquan has been submerged by the lake. Pearl spring was built into a water plant.

Queen Ma

According to legend, Ma's brewery, the ancestor of empress Ma of Zhu Yuanzhang, was built on this highland where drought turned into swamp and flood turned into lake. The terrain is good and safe. It is said that the wine brewed in the swamp can absorb the fragrance of the swamp and has a unique style. This wine shop brews a kind of Shaojiu, and it has another characteristic. Not only is it good, but the winemakers and wine sellers are all pungent, lively and wine tasting women. So the local people call this wine shop "spicy girl wine shop", and the wine is "spicy girl wine", which is also the focus of men's leisure time. It's a pity that Ma Gong had no successor and finally declined.

After the liberation of China, there was still a liquor making workshop with Longquan water named Tian in Wuliu West Village. It is said that after Ma's workshop went to the capital, Tian, a disciple of Ma's workshop, founded it based on the original secret recipe and experience. Unfortunately, it was cut off as the "tail of capitalism" at that time, and there may be descendants in this family.

Historical legend

Ma Yi (Y ì), the descendant of Ma's distillery, lived in Xinfeng village, Liuli north of Jiagou town. Ma Yi's wife Zheng gave birth to a daughter and died soon after. Ma Gong accidentally killed the rascal who came to the hotel to tease the hot girls, and escaped the lawsuit. Before leaving, he entrusted his beloved daughter to the care of Guo Zixing, who was later Zhu Yuanzhang's empress Ma Niang.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were four heroes, each king. Zhu Yuanzhang joined the army to make a living. Later, he became a general and often led the army to fight. Later, he stationed his troops in a marsh northwest of Jiagou. He found it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Relying on the mountains that stretch for tens of miles, the area is rich in fertile fields and lush in water and grass. He regarded it as a rear area for recruiting soldiers to practice martial arts, cultivating grain and grass, smelting weapons, rescuing the disabled, respecting the old and raising the young.

He led the generals to build a platform in the middle of the swamp to support their troops, and drank the water from a spring in the mountain nest of sililu in the north. He named it Longquan. This spring is in the northwest corner of zhentou village. There is a temple called Longquan Temple. Because of the discovery of this spring first and the discovery of Wuliu spring later, it was also named Longquan. Therefore, although the spring in zhentou village is not as big as that in Wuliu village, because of the discovery and use of it, later generations called the Longquan in zhentou village big Longquan and Wuliu small Longquan.

Later generations have built temples beside it. The temple in zhentou village is called dalongquan temple, while the temple in Wuliu is called xiaolongquan temple. As a result, the Longquan Temple in Wuliu is not as popular as the Longquan Temple in zhentou.

Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously injured once and was in a coma by the spring of Wuliu mountain. According to this, there is a brewing workshop named MA in the east of the spring. The liquor made from this spring is sweet and mellow, which can relieve the fire and relieve the depression, and has a long aftertaste. Ma Ma, the woman who made the wine, drove to fetch water. Far away, the spring was shrouded in thick fog, and the dragon was in it, shining with gold.

There was no difference near him, except that a wounded man was lying by the spring. Mahalanobis pitied the wounded and rescued them home. Both Ma's workshop and Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers lived in this swamp at the same time. During Zhu Yuanzhang's healing, Ma would take out good wine to drink with him every day. Zhu Yuanzhang recovered from his injury. He often went to the big five willow generation to herd horses and hunt. Mahalanobis went to big five willow to fetch water every day. They met and chatted in the valley where they first met. They became lovers for a long time.

After Guo Zixing couple matchmaker, married. Ma Niang Niang is the consistent name of empress MA in the area of Huangdian lake, and many people call it ma Dajiao. Ma Niang Niang is talented, kind and resolute. At the age of 20, she met Zhu Yuanzhang, the grass king at that time, and married him. During the healing period, Zhu Yuanzhang found that the knife used to calcine this kind of wine was very sharp, so he called out: "what a good knife to burn.". The name "Dao Zi Shao" came into being.

Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang moved to the north and south, he could not do without his wife Ma and the wine she made. On the fourth day of the first month of the year of Wushen, the emperor was named Ming Dynasty. In that year, Hongwu was called Taizu of Ming Dynasty by historians. The knife has also become a palace wine. According to the scene in the fog when Zhu Yuanzhang was rescued that day, he gave the name of wine, which is the same as the name of Aiqi. The village near the spring is called Wuli Village. The mountain is named zhuangma mountain, the spring is named Longquan, and the valley is named lover's valley. After Ma was appointed King Xu, Ma Gong, who died early, was appointed King Xu.

So far, the tomb of King Xu and the tomb of empress Ma Yiguan are well preserved, and the Jinpu railway has also made a detour.

Later, with the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang, officers and soldiers were mobilized to borrow soil to pad the lake, which raised the whole lake area a lot. This area also became the rear of Zhu Yuanzhang's troops and grain, so the local people called this swamp "Huangdian Lake". So far, the huangdianhu middle school built here is also named for this.

Later, in order to seize the imperial power, Zhu Di, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, went to the north in three years. His father also took this place as the rear and ascended the throne of the emperor.

Li Zicheng also used this area as a grain and grass base to support the front. According to this, four miles north of the North Atlantic crossed a high mountain and lived in a secluded and hard to attack caochang village, which was named because it was the place where Li Zicheng's army stored grain and grass. Six miles north of the North Atlantic Jinzhai village was named because it was a stockade built by the army to protect the Treasury. It is said that the two villages were the descendants of those left behind by the army at that time.

Because of the story of empress Ma of Zhu Yuanzhang, a mountain nest in dongsanli has always been the emperor of this area
