Huang furan, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem pengzujing: "the festival of Shanggong is in Xufang, and the old well is near the bedchamber. Visiting ancient times to know Peng zuzhai, why Gehong township is necessary to get immortal. Qingxu not spring pool unexpectedly, wash partial appropriate summer long. Hearing that Yannian is like Yuye, I want to offer Mingguang to Tiao Ding. " As for the Pengzu well in Pengzu temple, it is a legendary historic site. It is said that the well spring is like jade liquid, and drinking it often can lead to longevity. Ma Hui, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, once wrote a poem for "pengzujing", which said, "the ancient well city does not remember the year, and its name is handed down to Pengzu. Where is the jade sink? Where is the tiger. Autumn stone moss soaked in autumn rain, and Wutong leaves fell late wind. Who can dredge the cold spring more? One drink must teach eight thousand years of life.

Next to pengzujing stands a stone tablet ten feet high, with three words "pengzujing" written on it. The signature of the inscription can't be seen clearly. Now it has been moved to the stele garden of Xuzhou Museum. There are many rumors about pengzujing. In the Guozijian of Beijing, there is a "picture of pengzuguanjing" engraved in the year of Dingchou (1577) of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, on which is a portrait of pengzuguanjing. Peng Zu's waist is tied with a cable to the willow tree, and he is supported by a schoolboy to watch the well. He is trembling, like walking on thin ice. At the top left of the picture, there is an inscription by song chenduan, praising Peng Zu for his care and hope that future generations will follow Peng Zu's example.

Well culture in Xuzhou

The song of striking Earth in the pre Qin Dynasty chanted: "work at sunrise, and rest at sunrise. Dig a well and drink, farm and eat. Who invented well drilling? Lu's spring and Autumn Annals and Huainanzi are all said to be "Bo Yi zuojing". Xuzhou was called the state of Xu in ancient times. It was founded by weak wood, the son of Boyi. It is a long history for Xu people to make wells.

The oldest well in history: Peng Zujing

According to the archaeological report, due to the fact that Xuzhou City has been flooded by yellow water for several times, there are six cultural layers from the surface to about 11 meters underground, namely, the Ming, song, Tang, southern and Northern Dynasties, Han and Warring States periods. In these ancient city sites, domestic wells made of stone, brick and pottery are often found.

The oldest existing well should be pengzujing. There are two pengzujing in Xuzhou, one is in Pengzu Temple of Tongyi street. According to the records of Xuzhou written by Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, Pengzu was granted Pengcheng by Yao, and there were old buildings, houses and wells in the city. Pengzujing, written by huangfuran of Tang Dynasty, says: "the festival of Shanggong is in Xufang, and the old well is near the bedchamber.". The other is located in Dapeng village, which has a longer history. It is said that it was excavated for Pengzu. The surrounding villagers have been drinking this water for generations to express their gratitude for Pengzu's kindness and set up a monument with three characters "pengzujing" engraved on it.

The highest well: yinhequan well

Yinhe spring, formerly known as Shifo well, is located at the top of Yunlong mountain, which is made of rock. Yunlong mountain is 142 meters above sea level, on which Yinhe spring is chiseled. This is the highest water well in Xuzhou, which is rare in China. Taiping Huanyu Ji, a famous geographical work of the Northern Song Dynasty, records: "there is a well on the top of Shifo mountain, one foot and two feet square, three miles deep, with natural liquid water, no increase or decrease in spite of rain and drought. Or cloud drink can heal disease. From time to time, the clouds came out of it, and the earth was more than 700 feet away. " The water in Hequan well is from the leakage of rock cracks in the cave. The water is sweet and contains minerals, so it is said that "drinking can cure disease".

It is speculated that yinhequan was chiseled at the same time as the stone Buddha system of Northern Wei Dynasty in Yunlong mountain, and was dredged again in Jiajing and Wushen of Ming Dynasty. In 1624, Zhang Xuan, a member of the Xuzhou household division, dredged again. Because it was adjacent to the Fanghe Pavilion, it was renamed "yinhequan" and inscribed on the stele in the south of the well.

In 1962, the municipal unit once heavily dredged the well of yinhequan, and the measured depth of the well was 24.6 meters, which was consistent with the old records of "qizhangyu". The shaft wall is cut through the rock, with two stone cracks: one in the north and the other in the southwest. It is estimated that this is the water channel. "When I heard that the well water in your house was good, I went back to the porch and begged for a full bottle." This is Su Shi's praise of drinking Hequan. In Su Shi's poems, there are many places about Xuzhou well, such as "Liuti shijingyuan" which says: "Yaotiao mountain well, hidden through fujianqing. If you want to know how deep it is, listen to the sound of the windlass. " The "hilltop well" here is in the Shijing courtyard on the horse stage, but it has not been filled.

Ancient well in urban area: daomajing

Daomajing is the only well preserved ancient well in Xuzhou. Located in the west of Jiexiu middle school, more than 100 meters away from the Yellow River. The water quality of daomajing is good, which is loved by the people around. More than ten years ago, when this area was demolished and built, the migrant workers dumped the construction waste in the dumping well. When the common people knew it, they opposed it with one heart. They filled it in and cleaned it out. Finally, the well protection was successful. Wang Bingshi, a calligrapher, was pleased to write on the tablet. Today, daomajing is still well protected. The water in the well is clean, and it still serves the people by beating clothes, washing vegetables and fruits.

There are different legends about the origin of the name of daomajing. Some people say that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong rode across this place. The ground beside the well was wet and slippery, and the horse fell, but the people didn't fall, so it was named daoma well. A more reliable explanation is that this place is close to Ximen waixuechang (the former medical college). The school yard is where soldiers and horses practice. When people and horses are thirsty, they come here to drink and come back after drinking. After a long time, they become accustomed to drinking. The master puts his horse to this well to drink alone. The old horse knows his way. After drinking, the horse turns around and returns to the school yard. As time goes by, it is called daomajing. It can be inferred that the excavation time of daomajing was about the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty.

War related wells

"Mozi · beichengmen" says: "a hundred steps a well, well ten urn." That is to say, the side guarding the city should dig a well every 100 steps, and each well should be equipped with ten urn for drawing water. There are wells near the four city gates and important organs in Xuzhou. Daomajing and Datong Street are all related to this. There is an old well in the north gate of Tongyi street, which was preserved until the end of the 20th century. At present, there are four wells and seven boreholes in the important section of Shaohua street and yuanxianqian street, known as "Seven Star well". In the autumn of 1993, three wells were found at the construction site of Nanmen Street in Xuzhou. In the summer of 2006, Xuzhou Wei, an important military organ of Xuzhou in the Ming Dynasty, was found on the construction site of Datong Street. It has armor storehouse, ammunition storehouse, office room, and a well with a diameter of about 1 meter. This well is used for drinking in peacetime and is a military well in wartime.

City under city and underground well

The underground wells in Xuzhou are caused by the flood of the Yellow River. The most representative is the second well near No.5 Middle School. The reason why it is called "two hole well" is that there are not only two holes in it, but also underground wells and underground casing wells. It turns out that in the next four years, the Yellow River in Xuzhou will burst at Kuishan, and the old city will be buried under the loess. A few years later, during the reign of Chongzhen, the new town was rebuilt on the abandoned city. With the help of memory, people built the gate at the original gate and opened a new road on the original road. These two wells were impartial and drilled on the original well. The location was so accurate. It can be said that they are a gift from heaven. Imagine what a surprise people had! The diameter of the old two underground wells is relatively small, and there is a stone well platform. The diameter of the new two underground wells is relatively large, and a stone well platform is chiseled to imitate the old one.

Streets related to wells. Datong Street from the east gate to the west, there are five or six wells, xiaojingyan, houjingyan names still exist. On the south side of daoma well is Fu well, which is on the map of Xuzhou government in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Today, Fu well has become a community. There is a lotus well in the south of Hubu mountain. Now the lotus well has been filled, but the lotus well lane and the lotus well community are very loud. Pengjingya, eryanjing, etc. all got Lane because of the well.

Health and health culture

Chairman Mao went to Xuzhou in October 1952. When he met with leading cadres in Xuzhou, he said, "Xuzhou is the birthplace of health preservation. In Yao Dynasty, there was a man named Zhen Keng, who was the first health preserving scientist in history. Yao Feng sent him to Dapeng, the place around Xuzhou City, and established the state of Dapeng. " Chairman Mao said: "Peng Zu has made great efforts to develop this place. He took the lead in digging wells, invented cooking, and built walls. It is said that he lived 800 years old and was the oldest person in Chinese history. He also left his health preserving work Pengzu Jing. Chairman Mao said: "Pengzu had a great influence in history. Confucius highly praised him. Zhuangzi, Xunzi and LV Buwei all discussed him. He was recorded in historical records and mentioned in Qu Yuan's poems. Probably because he was so famous, in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang listed him in the immortal world in the biography of the immortals.

Peng Zu, surnamed Zhen, named Keng. Living in the three ancient dynasties, he is a famous sage in China. It is called "the great sage of ancient times, the forerunner of Taoism, the God of longevity in China, and the source of qigong". Peng Zu is a saint in the eyes of saints. From Peng
