When it comes to an acre of spring, almost everyone in old Baoding knows. "First there is an acre of spring, then there is Baoding Province", this sentence that has been sung in Baoding City for many years also confirms the significance of one acre spring to Baoding.
In the past thousand years, a mu of spring has bred the cultural prosperity of Baoding Province Yiwen (Lotus Pond Academy), Yiwu (Baoding Military Academy) and One Office (directly under the Governor's Office), nourishing and moisturizing the entire Baoding City from ancient times to the present.
Unfortunately, in the 1960s and 1970s, excessive groundwater extraction allowed an acre of spring water that had flowed for thousands of years to dry up and stop flowing in the wave of industrialization.
Today, under the background of the integration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the rise of Xiong'an New Area, Baoding vigorously promotes the development of green ecology, and the Xiongbao water system is connected to Baiyangdian, and one acre of springs will also usher in a revival and rebirth!

Yimu Spring, also known as Shangquan and Xitangbo, is located in Yimuquan Village, Nanqi Township, Jingxiu District, Baoding City, and is the source of the "Chicken Water Ring Qing" in the Eight Views of shanggu.
So, what is the source of an acre of spring?
According to the "Qifu Tongzhi", "An acre of springs originates from the Yu River of Yishuiling, and the underground flows. ”
The so-called "Yu River" is actually the "fish water" mentioned in the "Water Commentary", which is now the "Boundary River" (the river of the ancient Yan-Zhao boundary).
The Boundary River is a surface river above Mancheng Lingxi Village, and in the lower reaches of Lingxi Village, the water begins to enter the underground Fuliu River.
But it is said that the source of an acre of spring water is not only the Boundary River, but also the Cao River. The Cao River is a surface river above the City Ofe, and below the Star of God is a Fuliu River.
The Fuliu River of the Boundary River and the Cao River converge at an acre of springs, and the ten thousand springs meet to form a column of water rushing out of the pond and spraying, which is spectacular.
The water of the Boundary River and the CaoHe River upstream of the one-acre spring is hard and astringent, but after the underground undercurrent, it is purified by sand and gravel, and after gushing out at the location of the one-acre spring, the water quality becomes sweet!
Yimuquan has brought abundant water resources, and also made Yimuquan Village a fish and rice town like Jiangnan to grow rice and raise fish.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wang Pu's "One Mu Spring" gave a poem: "Thousands of years of lianquan and Huiquan, a tea flavor has been passed down from generation to generation." How is it like an acre of heaven and earth, irrigating enough flowers to seal ten thousand acres of land. "It shows that the water quality of an acre of springs at that time was good and the amount of water was large.
And a mu of spring also makes a mu of spring village become a small jiangnan resort in the north, according to the "Mancheng County Zhiluo" record: a mu of spring village, ancient called Zaoxi Zhuang, the former Taoist temple, study, pavilion, pavilion ... To the north of the spring pond is the magnificent Dragon Mother Palace, in front of the palace is the Peiran Pavilion, and in the south of the pond is the Chenhan Pavilion built during the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.
The style of Yimuquan Village like Jiangnan has attracted many celebrities to live here, such as the Song Dynasty Great Ru Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao, the Yuan Dynasty scholar Liu Yin, Zhao Mengfu (one of the four famous calligraphers in ancient times), and until now Yimuquan Village still retains the poetry stele of Zhao Mengfu. Even the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors of the Qing Dynasty have visited many times.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > two or one acre of spring water into Baoding City</h1>
In 992 (the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty), Li Jixuan served as "Baozhou", built a city pass, built a barracks, dredged a mu of spring river, built a ship to transport grain, Baozhou began to become a "city", that is to say, the initial formation of Baoding was inseparable from an mu of spring, when the water route was faster than the land.
In 1227 AD, the Yuan Dynasty general Zhang Rouzhen defended Baozhou and temporarily stationed in Mancheng (Baozhou City was destroyed in battle), but Mancheng was located in a narrow position and it was difficult to accommodate many official offices and houses, so Zhang Rou made up his mind to "move the town of Baozhou" and rebuild Baoding City on the ruins of Baoding City, which had been destroyed by years of war.
According to the "History of the Yuan", "Rou wei painted the city well, fixed the people's house, set up the official temple, led the spring into the city, dredged the ditch to relieve the dampness, traded and benefited the workers, and thus caused Yin Fu ..."
When Zhang Rou rebuilt Baoding City, he also did another major thing - to divert spring water into Baoding City, that is, the above-mentioned "introduction of springs into the city". The two springs that Zhang Rou introduced at that time were one acre spring and chicken distance spring.
Chicken spring is located about 1 km southwest of a mu spring, named because the spring water emerges in the shape of a chicken's claw, the east flow of the chicken from the spring is called "chicken distance water", and then merges with an acre of spring to the outside of Baoding City, so this river can be called "one mu spring river" or "chicken distance river".
Zhang Rou said: "The spring water that is close at hand, strange goods can be lived in, and it is useless to abandon it, which is really strange!" So he opened a new canal, flowed east from the Water Gate of Xicheng to the lingyu Temple (near present-day Bazhong), and then separated the two tributaries of the north and south. One stream flows south into the Fu River, the sound of water roaring, the so-called "West Brake Autumn Tao"; the other is to the northeast around the city, in the north side of the present-day Nanguan Tianshui Bridge into the Fu River, and finally the two streams converge from the North Water Gate and flow out, when the river is clear to the bottom, swimming fish can be seen, the so-called "chicken water ring clear"!
According to historical records, the water system and lakes in the city that Zhang Rou planned at that time were all over the ancient city, and "water occupies four of the city", which means that 40% of the places in Baoding City are water surfaces!
At that time, there were many lakes and ponds built, including Liutang Lake, Xixi Lake, South Lake, Beitan Lake, Yunjinkou Lake, etc. On the occasion of summer and autumn, Baoding City was "deep and comfortable, green and green", lotus flowers were like fire, water birds were like clouds, fishermen cast nets to get fish, tourists were happy to return, Yanzhao North presented the beauty of Jiangnan garden water town, which can be described as "Northern Small Jiangnan"!
And this Fu River into the city, like a flexible silk belt, will be all parts of Baoding connected together, the city's water traffic is also because of the water, to the ancient city of Baoding brought prosperity of commercial trade, down the Fu River, can go directly to Baiyangdian.
In addition, Zhang Rou also built a college, repaired a lotus pond, moved the temple, benefited transportation, and benefited farmers, commerce, and industry, which transformed Baozhou City into a "metropolis in Yannan" in one fell swoop, and also laid the foundation for the prosperity of the subsequent Ming and Qing dynasties!
Therefore, it can be said that Zhang Rou is not only the general of this Gyeonggi stronghold and the city that was born for the war, but also the chief designer of the revival and reconstruction of Baozhou City!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" > Third, the wave of industrialization has made an acre of spring wither and lonely</h1>
Since the introduction of the spring into the city, for more than 800 years, an acre of springs has been gushing endlessly, sending sweet spring water into Baoding City day and night.
In ancient times to today, water source is life, an acre of spring for the yuan, Ming, Qing dynasty of the ancient city of Baoding prosperity, and even the development of Baoding after the founding of new China, have made a major contribution to the posture of "mother spring".
In the 1950s and 1960s, a period of industrial development began in China, and Baoding also began the industrialization process of the city. Baoding's "one mu spring" liquor, Baoding pickles, etc., were originally fermented with one mu of spring water.
In 1956, the first well was drilled at Yimuquan to support the development of Baoding industry, but then the over-exploitation of groundwater began. ”
It is said that 38 wells were drilled in a mu spring and more than 200,000 tons of water were pumped every day, equivalent to the storage capacity of a small reservoir.
At that time, Baoding also sold "one mu spring" brand soda made of one mu of spring water; later, based on the abundant water source, the western part of Baoding city built "eight major factories in the western suburbs".
However, due to long-term over-exploitation, in 1965, an acre of springs that had been gushing for thousands of years appeared for the first time, but this break was never restored, which made people regret!
After the one-acre spring was cut off, the importance of conservation mining was not recognized at that time, and the underground water consumption continued to increase. By the 1980s, the amount of groundwater extracted near a mu spring reached nearly 70 million tons per year, and the annual water consumption was nearly 700 million tons, while the maximum reservoir capacity of the Baoding Western Ocean Reservoir was only 1.1 billion tons.
And an acre of spring water that has flowed for thousands of years, in the wave of industrialization, has been lonely and withered until now after the flow is broken.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="62" >4, an acre of springs to resurgence on the agenda</h1>
In July and August of this year, the relevant person in charge of Nanqi Township revealed that the relevant leaders wanted to carry out the work of resurging one acre of springs, and the preliminary mapping work had also been carried out.
Based on the future development plan of Xiongbao integration, the current Baoding "Ring City Water System" project has been put on the agenda, after all, Baoding is the upstream of Baiyangdian, and the future water source of Xiong'an is also transported to Baiyangdian through Baoding, so this also gives the best opportunity for the "one acre spring" to resurgence.
According to water conservancy experts, at present, the groundwater level of one mu of spring is still low, and at 20-30 meters underground, it has not yet reached the conditions for resurgence, and it is still conserving water sources, and it is also expected that the resurgence of an mu of springs can be realized as soon as possible.
On October 14, the mayor of Baoding also made a special trip to Yimuquan Village for field research, and held a symposium on the work of one mu of spring resurgence and groundwater ecological restoration, etc. She pointed out: Actively promote the investigation and demonstration of yimuquan and the implementation of the project, provide strong support for the construction of a modern quality life city, and realize the beautiful vision of "awakening Baoquan for the benefit of the people" as soon as possible.
So it can be seen that the resurgence of an acre of springs that has been mentioned for many years may be really close this time!
Chicken water ring clear
Xizha Autumn Waves
An acre of spring river, can be described as the mother river of Baoding, the birthplace of the Fu River, the source of the ancient lotus pond, it has bred the splendid civilization of Baoding City with thousands of years of history, and also carries the good memories and deep feelings in the hearts of the old Baoding people, looking forward to the Baoding ring water system, looking forward to the recovery of an acre of springs, helping Baoding's development to rush to a new high!
