Chapter 180: Huaqing Pool
Everyone was hungry and thirsty for a long time, and when they encountered that the hot spring water was so sweet, they couldn't control it, and they drank it with a big belly and a round waist. Seeing that the old ghost was talking endlessly, he had no more strength to argue with him.
The old ghost continued, "Where did the hot spring culture originate? This answer may be too old to be examined.
At first, humans discovered hot springs and did not attract much attention from them. Later, it was because of the miraculous effect of seeing animals in the hot springs that it attracted people's attention. In fact, when it comes to hot springs, many people's first thought is Hokkaido, Japan. It's not that their hot springs are any different, maybe it's because the ads are well done.
It is said that the Japanese did not know that hot springs had the function of curing diseases at first. Later, it was the sight of an injured critter miraculously recovering from a hot spring that they began to study the function of the hot spring in earnest. Modern people are gradually turning to hot springs as a way to relax, decompress, and even heal, and this trend is rapidly spreading around the world.
Qin Shi Huang built the "Lishan Soup" to treat sores, and Xu Fu searched for the elixir of life for the mountains and seas, and drifted to Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, where the "Xu Fu" hot spring baths are still preserved; In the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong specially built a "hot spring palace", and the poet also left a lot of creations. Many of them depict the situation of fat pink beauties bathing in hot springs, which shows the long history and culture of hot springs in China.
Needless to say, Cheng dΓΉ, who loves hot springs in Japan, is known as "one small soup in three steps, and one big soup in five steps". Soaking in hot springs has become a very important part of Japanese people's daily lives. It has also developed a set of bathing culture and hot spring curative treatment that is different from other countries, which we call "Yuji culture".
Similarly, the ancient Romans of the European continent, with a long history, were a long time ago. They brought the water from the spring to the heated water and then flowed it into the baths that had been built for people to use. Among them, famous hot spring baths in Bath in England and Turkey are still in use today.
The people of our country have a long history of discovering and applying hot springs to cure diseases. As early as the pre-Qin "Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are records of hot springs.
The first generation of hot springs is bathing culture, which is often referred to as 'bathing', and the second generation of hot spring culture is bathing and games, emphasizing the dynamism and richness of hot springs; The third generation of hot spring culture is a culture of bathing and leisure. Highlight the hot springs as a kind of leisure tourism; The latest fourth-generation hot spring culture is the most inclusive, and it is no longer exclusive to young people, but a new hot spring that introduces the concept of wellness shared with the previous generation. β
Hearing the old ghost say this, I jokingly said, "You're the last generation, aren't you?" β
"Get out!" The old ghost said, "If I were the last generation, I would be your last generation." Are you still listening? β
I hurriedly said, "Listen, listen!" Of course I listen. But can you tell us something that makes people want to hear it? Just these 'culture', 'history' and so on, I almost fell asleep when I heard it. β
"Yes, yes. Are there any jokes or anything like that? At this time, Qian Cheng also came over and said.
"Or you are all laymen! You don't listen to jokes except for jokes, do you? The old ghost said, "Okay, then I'll tell you some famous stories from history." β
Qian Cheng and I said at the same time: "Yes, it should have been said a long time ago." β
The old ghost said: ""Notes on the Book of Water" is a famous geographical work in ancient China, the author is more than 1400 years ago, the geographer Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Since he was a teenager, Li Daoyuan has been interested in studying hydrology, geography and natural features. He made full use of the opportunity to be an official in various places to conduct field investigations, and obtained a large amount of first-hand information.
In the "Notes on the Book of Water". Taking the waterway as the key link, Li Daoyuan described the geography, history, economy, politics, monuments and customs of the area through which the river flowed in as much detail as possible, providing valuable information for future generations to study ancient geography and human history. β
"That's the point!" I say.
As soon as the old ghost was scolded by me, he went straight to the point and said: "In the "Water Jing Note", it is mentioned many times that hot springs can cure all kinds of diseases, such as 'Lushan Imperial Maiden Soup, which can cook rice. Drink it to cure all diseases. Taoist priests clean their bodies and bathe, three times a day, how comfortable. Forty days later, he was cured of all his illnesses. The health benefits of hot springs are truly documented.
The earliest record of the emperor's bathing in hot springs. Probably the Yellow Emperor. In the Yellow Mountain of Anhui Province, there is a Yellow Mountain Hot Spring called 'Lingquan' and 'Tangquan' in ancient times. It gushes out from under the Ziyun Peak, and faces the Peach Blossom Peak across the stream. Legend has it that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was bathed here for 7749 days and ascended to heaven.
According to folklore: Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor took a bath in the Yellow Mountain Hot Spring, his hair turned from white to black, rejuvenation, the Yellow Emperor was extremely happy, and called the Yellow Mountain Hot Spring 'Spirit Spring'.
Since then, the hot springs have been famous all over the world, and have always been known as 'the famous springs in the southeast of our country'. Huangshan Hot Spring contains a variety of trace elements that are beneficial to the human body, and the water quality is pure, the temperature is suitable, and it can be drunk and bathed. The Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao once expressed the emotion of 'the philosopher has passed away, and this water is really my teacher'.
The deepest relationship with the emperor should be Huaqing Pond in Shaanxi. Qin Shi Huang, Tang Taizong, Tang Xuanzong and other outstanding emperors all formed a fate with it. Huaqing Pond is located at the northwest foot of Nanli Mountain in Lintong County, 30 kilometers away from Xi'an City.
In ancient times, it was already a tourist attraction near Chang'an. 2,700 years ago in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the hot springs here were discovered and named 'Xingchen Yu'. Youwang once built a palace here, when Qin Shi Huang became the first emperor of China, he built a palace here, led the spring into the room, named "Lishan Soup".
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the palace was expanded again. During the Tang Dynasty, many palaces and pavilions were built, such as 'Tangquan Palace' and so on. After that, a lot of construction was built here, and the palace was built on the mountain, and it was renamed 'Huaqing Palace'.
Legend has it that Tang Xuanzong brought Yang Guifei here every winter for banquets and bathing.
The poet Bai Juyi once wrote in the famous poem "Song of Long Hatred": "Looking back and smiling, there is no color in the six palaces." The spring cold bathes in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water is slippery and creamy. β
It shows how popular the hot spring culture was at that time! β
When I heard this, I was amazed: "It turns out that 'looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color.'" That's all you said? β
"That's right!" The old ghost said.
"Damn, aren't you bad at language? How do you remember this so clearly? I said.
The old ghost said, "I only remember what I'm interested in!" β
At this time, Lisa hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Cut, do you still need to ask?" What can a pervert be interested in? In ancient poems, if there is a little description of this kind of plot, he must be interested. β
"......" the old ghost was speechless. (To be continued......)
