It is also in the old streets and alleys of Jinan teahouse, tasting the warm and fragrant spring tea, slowly listening to the days slowly slipping away from the sound of the ding dong spring, you can understand why Mr. Lao She said - talking about the magnificence of Jinan is far less than Beiping, and talking about the victory of mountains and seas can not keep up with Qingdao, but he still prefers Jinan, not only because this is his "second hometown", but because here "every corner, there seem to be some traces of life;."Every small change causes some feelings;Even the wind and rain seem to contain infinite affection." When it comes to Jinan, the first impression that comes to mind is that of the Chinese textbook"Baotu Spring"., Lao She's"Winter in Jinan"., as wellSummer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake。This city is the epitome of our childhood memories and imagination – "to hear before we get to this scene".
It wasn't until I went to Jinan that I realized how peculiar Lao She's smoking spring was"Winter in Jinan is clear".What kind of artistic conception is this sentence?
If you are lucky enough to meet the snowy Jinan again, and see the fairy energy on the spring water, you will find that Lao She's expression is still subtle.
As the big brother of Shandong, Jinan always seems to be a little quiet and low-key, so that it is compared with Qingdao. But from the perspective of life and cultural latitude, the city of Jinan has never disappointedAfter following the people of Jinan to soak in Quancheng, I knew what the ideal of the world was.
Spring water,
Jinan people's most inseparable faith
How to integrate into the city of Jinan more quickly?You try to follow a Jinan person carrying two kettles to the spring to draw water, that is the closest to the Jinan people's way of life.
Jinan people can't live without spring water, just like Qingdao people can't live without beerIt's as natural as everyday breathing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the old man who was playing water on the Internet was just trying to show off his skills.
Jinan people have first-class water skills.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to go to the Black Tiger Spring, you can still see such a picture: the uncle tied the rope to the plastic drum, and then threw out a beautiful parabola into the pool, close to the spring mouth, slowly filled with spring water, and then steadily "fished" up, the skill is so skillful that people are admirable. Some uncles and aunts even make their own water artifacts, and the way to play spring water is quite a trick of fishing.
You may be wonderingWhy are Jinan people so obsessed with spring water?After all, now that every household has running water, there is no need to go to the trouble of drinking spring water.
That being said, butJinan people have a very deep complex for spring water. No matter how the world evolves, generations of Jinan people will still carry bottles and cans to the spring to fetch water, because it has long been integrated into their living customs.
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", when the words came to the mouths of Jinan people, it became"Jinan spring water is the best in the world".。Jinan City, known as "spring water in every house, weeping poplars in every household", has a well-known big spring, but more of it is an unknown small spring scattered in the ordinary alleys and strange people's homesIt's not public, but it's moisturizing and silent.
In Jinan's winter, the clear spring water and snow complement each other. (Fig. Tingz).
Jinan, which was born because of the spring, if you count from the Shang Dynasty ruins found in the old Junmen Lane, the urban area of Jinan has a history of 3,600 years. In other words, the history of Jinan people drinking spring water is 3,000 years.
In the past, there were clear springs in the courtyard of Jinan or in front of and behind the house, and digging a pit in the yard could gush out of the spring water with excellent water qualityGetting water on site is convenient and saves money.
If it is far away from the spring, or the more affluent people, they do not want to carry their own water, but they can also buy water to eat, so it has given birth to a business with local characteristics"Water man"., Jinan dialect calls this line"Seller of spring water".
The history of Jinan people drinking spring water is too long.
If there are many springs and wells in the streets and alleys, there are more people who come to pull water, and the people who fetch water make the ground wetThese streets and alleys are known as "water alleys" and "water alleys". To this day, there is still a street named after "Water Hutong" in Jinan, which is a small street near Huajiajing, but it has long been paved with cement roads.
Until 1965, every household has tap water, but many Jinan people still like to drink spring water, especially in the Black Tiger Spring, Wulong Pond, Yingxian Spring, Furong Spring and other spring pools, every day many Jinan people come from afar to tie large and small plastic buckets to draw water.
Many people in Jinan go to the Black Tiger Spring Park to fetch water. (Picture: Screenshot of Xiaohongshu @Night Flash).
If you ask them why they insist on fetching spring water, they will tell you with a smileThe water quality of our spring water in Jinan is good, and the taste is different when used to make tea and cook rice.
You know, the spring water is the source of life of Jinan people, in addition to drinking directly, because the spring water is at a constant temperature, people who live by the spring can sit and enjoy the benefits of the spring water that is warm in winter and cool in summer, taste the bean sprouts born from the spring water, and eat the "chilled" melons and fruits fished out of the spring water in the hot summerIn winter, taking advantage of the snow, you can also go to Jinan Spring Water Bath for winter swimming.
Even in cold weather, the temperature of Jinan spring water can reach 13 degrees Celsius. It is said that the reason why Jinan's winter is not cold is because it is nourished by these rolling springs.
In the past, there were many teahouses on the shore of the spring lake in Jinan, and the tea brewed in the spring water was mellow and fresh.
No wonder the coffee trend to Jinan is not very moving, earlier data show that the number of Starbucks stores in Jinan is only about half of Qingdao, for Jinan people, what is coffee, with spring water to make tea is not more fragrant?
Springs in Jinan,
How amazing is it?
In China, there is probably no city like Jinan, where the spring water runs through the blood of the whole city, and the city and the spring water grow and grow together"Mountains, springs, lakes, rivers and cities" are all in one.
Jinan is adjacent to Mount Tai in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, the groundwater accumulated in the southern mountain range goes all the way to the north, and then encounters the impermeable igneous rock in the northern suburbs, so the groundwater that is impounded and stored forms confined water along the surface cracks, and it forms a living spring gushing out everywhere.
The geographical location of the mountain by the water and the abundant spring water since ancient times moistened and let youJinan, a northern city, has a smart temperament that is not inferior to the south of the Yangtze River.
Quancheng has given Jinan a smart temperament that is not inferior to the south of the Yangtze River.
If you don't appreciate the famous spring in Jinan, it is a bit in vain to come here. The famous spring of Jinan has been a superb scene written by a famous artist since ancient times, and was praised by Zeng Gong, a writer in the Song Dynasty"Qiduo Ganquan, crowned in the world".
As early as 700 years ago, Jinan enjoyed the "seventy-two springs". According to statistics, there are more than 800 springs in Jinan, and there are only those in the old cityBaotu Spring, Black Tiger Spring, Pearl Spring, Five Dragon PondFour springs.
The earliest record of Jinan spring water is in the Yin Shang period, when the place name of Jinan was the word "Luo" in the oracle bone inscription, that is, the Baotu Spring known as "Luoyuan" in ancient times.
There is no doubt about itBaotu Spring is the first of the springs in Jinan. Some time ago, Shandong Province accurately calculated the age of Jinan spring water for the first time, and the "spring age" was about 23,500-46,000 years ago, which made people marvel.
The most famous scene of Baotu Spring is none other than that"Three streams of boiling water"., the spring gushes out of the underground rock crevice, and the three caves are concurrent, and the momentum is boiling.
Winter is even better, when the spring water is steaming hot, white and soft, wafting on the long dark green algae, which reminds you of a seemingly mysterious realm. Mr. Lao She's pen accounts for half of the beautiful spring in Jinan, and it can only be understood when you are in this scene.
Baotu Spring is famous, butPerhaps the most favored by the citizens of Jinan is the Black Tiger Spring。Yu Dafu once visited these four famous springs, and for him, the Black Tiger Spring area of "every family flowing water and every household weeping poplar" is the most chic.
No matter how cold or hot it is, there are always citizens queuing up to fetch water on the banks of the Black Tiger Spring on the south bank of the South Moat, which representsJinan's most down-to-earth market culture.
Three stone carved tiger heads gushed out of the spring, the sound is like the wind howling tiger roar, three by two people come to fetch water to the black tiger spring has added a lot of vitality to the black tiger spring.
It is located in the provincial ** small garden near Furong StreetThe pearl spring, which is raised in the depths of the boudoir, is another scene. There is less noise of tourists and children here, and more of itThe beauty of shallow chanting and graceful singing.
The crystal clear spring water is rolling slowly, like a scattered pearl necklace, and it is endless to walk by the quiet courtyard.
The pearl spring in winter is like a fairyland on earth. (Picture Xiaohongshu @ Little Feather).
In contrast,The 28 ancient springs of Wulong Pond are even more quaint and elegant.
There is a temple temple built here, it has always been the place of practice of Taoist priests and monks, and it is surrounded by a naturally formed earthen bank, with many weeping willows, and the surrounding gardens, Tanxi Poetry Society together constitute an antique and antique picture.

It is really not too much to say that Jinan is "brewed" by spring water. In addition to the famous springs in Jinan, there is also the only moat in the country that is all composed of springs, the moat connects the Baotu Spring in the southwest of the city, the Black Tiger Spring in the southeast of the city, the Wulong Pond in the west of the city, the pearl spring in the city, and then flows into the Daming Lake in the north of the city.
"Lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake".That's what the lake saysDaming LakeIt is a natural lake formed by the confluence of many springs, accounting for almost a quarter of the old city, because of its rippling blue water, lotus lotus all over the lake since ancient times, weeping willows by the lake, there areIt is known as the "Pearl of Spring City".
The pearl of Quancheng "Daming Lake."
Autumn is the best season to enjoy Daming LakeLooking up to the south, the Thousand Buddha Mountain with the setting glow is dyed golden yellow, Daming Lake is like a piece of jade inlaid in the city**, and a poetic autumn scene jumps in front of you.
Thinking of the "Daming Lake Inscription" poem tablet left by Emperor Qianlong's southern tour, not to mention whether he encountered Xia Yuhe, this scenery is not enough for him to linger?
Jinan people suddenly felt
Only life can't
As the big brother of Shandong, Jinan seems to lack some fun and vitality in the minds of young people.
It is ridiculed as "blocking the city", repairing the subway has become the most difficult problem in Jinan to overcome, due to the special terrain of Jinan from north to south and narrow from east to west, repairing the subway means that it has to affect the spring vein, and it has to avoid the spring water dense area of the four major spring groups, so that it has added a lot of problems to the construction of the subway.
Under the choice of not having both, the people of Jinan may not have been able to give up their dependence on spring water, and it is helpless to be ridiculed as "blocking the city".
The cityscape of Jinan. (Picture unsplash).
But the people of Jinan have done more seriously than anyone else in the matter of "Baoquan". As the city grows in size and population, so does the amount of water.
In order to avoid over-exploitation of groundwater resources, a series of spring protection measures have been taken, including controlling the exploitation of groundwater, and more than 400 deep captive wells have been closed in recent yearsEcological restoration and environmental remediation are carried out in the spring water recharge areaThe other is to jointly dispatch the water of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the surface water to replenish the source.
Precisely becauseJinan people cherish their spring water so much, to create a continuous gushing, endless flow of "clear spring city".
When you arrive in Jinan, there will always be a wonderful feeling of regaining your true life.
The people of Jinan, who rely on water to draught, know how to taste the scenery according to the season. In Jinan in early winter, on the shore of Daming Lake and Baihuazhou, the spring water tofu workshops are dotted and steamingSpring water tofuJust out of the pan.
The so-called "a round of grinding the upper flow of the elixir, a hundred boiling soup rolling snowflakes", white and delicate, firm and elastic spring water tofu is as warm as jade, mellow and long.
The spring water is full of sweetness. (Screenshot of bilibili**).
There is one restaurant near Daming LakeZhang Hatshui and Yu Dafu both named and praised Pu Cai, whether it is stewed or stir-fried, the taste is extremely fresh.
The willow leaves can not only be watched, but also the folk of JinanThe custom of "eating willows".。In early spring, they pick the tender yellow willow buds, blanch them with boiling water and take them out, soak them in cold water for an hour, remove the bitterness, put salt, sesame oil, vinegar and other condiments, mix them into cold dishes, and have a unique flavor with wine or rice.
Daming Lake has been rich in lotus flowers since ancient timesJinan cuisine has the famous dish of "fried lotus"., in the faint lotus fragrance is also sweet, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, lotus leaves can also be eaten, for example"Lotus leaf meat" in Jinan cuisine, lotus leaves are soft and fragrant.
The fragrance of the lotus leaf wrapped chicken is fresh.
Not to mention the lotus root, the lotus root that is abundant here is crisp and sweet, and it can also be eaten raw as a fruit, also known as"Fruit lotus".。On the edge of the Yellow River, many villages have been using the water of the Yellow River to grow lotus root for a long timeCrystal lotus, ginger root, and fried lotus root are the home-cooked dishes of these villages.
The spring water not only constitutes the vein of Jinan City, but also affects the food customs of Jinan people. These foods brewed from spring water can also constitute a unique banquet in JinanSpring mat, spring water tofu, stuffed lotus tips, Minghu fairy, spring water three treasures, etc. are all famous dishes that will inevitably appear in the Jinan Spring Water Festival.

When the lights are turned on at night, the meat on the roadside stalls can make you eat until you don't want to go back, and the open-air barbecue stalls on the streets in the old days fill the world of Jinan people.
Jinan's barbecue mostly comes from the Muslim community, and the amount is very large, it is saidJinan people can eat 7 tons of mutton skewers a day, and Quancheng has also won the name of "skewer capital".
Nowadays, the old streets of Jinan are renovated, and you can find a barbecue stall that skewers at will, eating meat and drinking wineThis kind of rare market fireworks is best understood by Jinan people.
