Dahuoquan Park

A very beautiful park in the north of Xingtai City is open to tourists for free. It has a rippling artificial lake, a memorial hall of Guo Shoujing, a famous scientist of the Yuan Dynasty, a bronze statue of Guo Shoujing, and many recreational facilities. Dahuoquan is located in the northwest corner of Xingtai City. It used to be a pool. It was a hundred steps deep. The spring water was crystal clear. When the water was low and large, the main spring was like boiling water. The flowers were boiling. Countless springs were like beads on a jade plate. Guo Shoujing, a famous astronomer, water conservancy scientist and mathematician in the Yuan Dynasty, once built a canal to connect boats and irrigate the countryside. During the Xianping period (998-1003 A.D.) of the Northern Song Dynasty (Zhenzong Zhao Heng), Liu Kaijun, the governor of Xingzhou, once built a pavilion here to plant willows, processed and decorated them, thus making dahuoquan the winner of a county. In the fifth year of Xining of Song Dynasty (1072 AD), the spring water suddenly fell. After six years, the spring water came back, so it is also called "come again spring". In the eighth year of the Republic of China, Wang Huaiqing built a park in the south of the spring. Now in dahuoquan Park, there are all kinds of flowers and huge spherical green trees planted on the strip green space in the middle of Yong road. On both sides of the road, there are green willows in rows. In the northwest of the park is the old site of dahuoquan, which has been developed into two artificial lakes with a wider area. The two lakes are connected by meandering rivers and streams. On the surface of the lake, foot-on boats swim around. The island in the water adds new interest to tourists. After rowing, you can board the island and enjoy the rippling water scenery. In the clear lake water, you can see the red fish swimming like a shuttle, which adds infinite vitality to the spring area. On the Bank of the spring, there is a zanjian octagonal pavilion, which provides visitors with comfortable cooling and leisure facilities. On the west side of the park is the flower garden, where Chimonanthus praecox, green bamboo, banana, rose and so on are full of flowers and fragrant.

Historical evolution

Initial construction

Dahuoquan garden, also known as tuanwan spring and Lailai spring, is located five miles northwest of the old city of Xingtai.

In history, Xingtai is surrounded by a rare big spring area, where water gushed into hundreds of caves and dew overflowed, forming a natural wonder of "all springs around Xingtai". Dahuoquan is one of the famous springs.

The earliest written record of dahuoquan can be traced back to more than 1700 years ago, and can be seen in the book of Jin, the biography of Buddha's painting. The book describes the story of the eminent monk Buddha Tu Cheng burning incense and chanting incantations and Chilong fetching water after dahuoquan dried up. Although it has obvious mythical color, it is consistent with the inscription that "dahuoquan dried up in the later Zhao Dynasty and then reappeared".

Taiping Yulan has some supplementary records under shijinggang's Ci. He said, "it's also said that when it was dry in shile, there was a dead dragon dug up in this hill. It's more than Zhang long. It's been a long time since water was used to help it. Looking for sacrifice, the Dragon soars into the sky, and the rain falls. It's called Longgang. "

"Biography of eminent monks" records: "Xiangguo City Moat Water Source in the northwest of the city wulituan pill worship. Its water is exhausted. Le asked Cheng. What makes water. Cheng said. Now it's the dragon. The word "Le" is the dragon of the world. It is said to be clear and self mocking. He said. The Dragon cannot cause water. So ask the ear. Cheng said. This is not a play. The source of water spring must be the residence of dragon. In the past, water will be available. He went to the spring with his disciple FA Shou. Its source has been dry for a long time. Crack like a rut, follow the heart doubt. Fear of water is rare. Cheng sits on a rope bed and burns benzoin. Vow hundreds of words. In this way, the water flowed slightly in three days. There is a little dragon. It's about five or six inches long. Come out with the water. All Taoists look at it. Cheng said. The dragon is poisonous. There is a vast expanse of water, and the moats are full. " Tuanwan spring was named after Dahuo in the western region because of its rising and falling.

The name of dahuoquan was renamed in the later Zhao Dynasty. The name of dahuoquan has a history of more than 1700 years.

In the Xianping period of the Song Dynasty (998-1004 AD), Liu Kaijun, the governor of Xingzhou, built a pavilion in the north of the spring, planted willows, processed and decorated them, and turned them into scenic spots, which made dahuoquan a county's best.

In the fifth year of Xining of Song Dynasty (1072 AD), the spring water suddenly fell. After six years, the spring water came back, so it is also called "come again spring".

Guo Shoujing, a famous astronomer, water conservancy scientist and mathematician in the Yuan Dynasty, once built a canal to connect boats and irrigate the countryside.

Dahuoquan in Qing Dynasty was listed as one of the "Eight Sights of Xingtai".

In the eighth year of the Republic of China, when Wang Huaiqing, a warlord from Ningjin in Xingtai, was appointed governor of Southern Hebei, he built a private garden in the south of dahuoquan.
