origin

"Whose geese and ducks are going to cross the waves, and cows and sheep are drinking along the road at dusk." Su Zhe, a great writer of Song Dynasty, painted a beautiful picture like pastoral. But now I can only vaguely find this feeling by the woniu spring.

According to the relevant historical records and poems, at that time, the spring was surrounded by abundant water and lush vegetation. Cows and sheep often drank from it and lay beside it. Therefore, the name of woniu spring came from it. There is a poem in the Ming Dynasty: "in the past, I heard that there was Niu Mian in the pottery tomb, but now I see the overflow well spring in Qizhou.". For thousands of years, Li mountain has been a relic of the beautiful scenery, and the autumn wind has filled the fields of Yu From the poem, we can imagine that in the past, there was a murmur of spring, green grass, long pastoral flute, smoke curling, a pastoral poetic and picturesque.

There is also a legend about the origin of the name of woniuquan in memory of Dashun's cultivation at the foot of Lishan Mountain. Woniu spring is now a square stone spring pool. The surface of the spring is as flat as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and green willows. You can see the pastoral realm of cattle and sheep drinking by the spring in the past. Woniu spring was once listed as 72 Famous Springs in the Jin and Ming Dynasties.
