History of yuquanxi

Because of its beautiful scenery and its location in the capital, it was favored by the rulers at the end of the 12th century. It is said that Jin Zhangzong once built yuquanxi palace and Furong palace here. Since the yuan and Ming Dynasties, it has become a place for emperors to spend their summer holidays. At the end of the 13th century, Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, worked here in civil engineering; during the reign of emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, some buildings were rebuilt; in 1680, the original palace was renovated and expanded. In the 31th year of Kangxi, the original "Chengxin garden" was renamed "Jingming garden". The magnificent Jingming garden of yuquanxi has become one of the "three mountains and five gardens" with two famous gardens. In 1860, the British and French invading forces destroyed the area, and the old scene did not exist.

Yuquan river is famous for its sweet and mellow water. In the past, people used to measure the water quality by the weight of water. The light one was better and the heavy one was worse. Most of the ancient people in the past took the valley curtain water of Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi province or the Jinshan water of Yangtze River as the first, and the Hupao spring water of Huishan mountain as the second. In order to judge the famous springs in the world, Qianlong ordered the internal affairs department to make a silver bucket survey. The result is: the Pearl Spring in Jinan weighs 12.2%, the Jinshan mountain in the Yangtze River weighs 12.3%, the Hupao spring in Huishan weighs 12.4%, the Pingshan water weighs 12.6%, the Liangshan, Baisha, Huqiu and Biyun Temple weigh 12.1%, only the water in Yuquan and Yixun weighs 1.2%, and the water is light, sweet and beautiful. Since then, Yuquan stream has been listed as the drinking water of the Qing palace. Qianlong himself inscribed the stele and wrote it as follows: "Wushuang water is the first spring in the name of meritorious punishment". The "Jingxi rice" irrigated by Yuquan stream is still precious rice. Yeluchut, the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, used Yuquan water to make ink and named it "Yuquan new ink", which is a top-grade product.

Qianlong was very fond of the scenery of Yuquan river. He named the scenery "Sixteen sceneries" by himself. Each scene was named after four characters and each poem was inscribed on it
