The spring water gushes out from the rock formation under Xuanweng Mountain, with an undercurrent of more than 10 meters, and pours into the pond from the stone dragon mouth on the west bank of the pond. ". Nanlaoquan, the constant temperature of the spring water is kept at around 17.5°C all year round. The unique Changshengping in the water is still emerald green like jade in nine cold days. The Nanlao Spring has irrigated thousands of hectares of fertile fields near Jinci from generation to generation, creating a rich scene of "thousands of families irrigated rice, and fields all over the south of the Yangtze River". Because the spring water contains a variety of minerals, the water temperature is constant, and the water quality is excellent, so Jinci cultivated by Jinshui The rice is crystal clear, full of grains, tastes mellow and has endless aftertaste.

When I first entered Jinci Temple, I heard from the tour guide that the geomantic omen inside is very good, because there are springs flowing out continuously, and the most representative of all the springs is the Nanlaoquan. But when I got closer, I found that even a spring was well protected, with a pavilion above it to prevent sewage from flowing in. If you want to really feel the temperature of the spring water, this is a very difficult thing.

Nanlaoquan, one of the three wonders of Jinci Temple, is even a famous spring recorded in the Shan Hai Jing. Generally speaking, Nanlaoquan cannot be separated from these three sentences: "It is crystal clear, the temperature is seventeen, and the flow is endless." The water quality is crystal clear, and it is true that it maintains a temperature of around 17°C all year round, but this long-term flow only exists in history As early as 1993, the Nanlaoquan was cut off due to excessive groundwater exploitation and other reasons, and the groundwater level has continued to decline over the years, and even used tap water to replace the old spring water for a time. It was not until the 21st century that the water level was raised and gradually re-flowed under continuous ecological management. In fact, this kind of thing that destroys first and then spends a lot of effort to rectify it is not uncommon in scenic spots across the country. No matter whether it is cultural relics or natural landscapes, there are many people who cannot escape this catastrophe. But... is this old fountain that has been broken and restored, still the original fountain of old age? The spring pavilion remains the same, how can the water be cut off?

Nanlaoquan is one of the three wonders of Jinci Temple. Nanlao spring comes from the fault rock formation of Xuanweng Mountain. I don't know when it started. There is a record in "Shan Hai Jing": "The water of Xuanweng comes out of Jinshui". The spring water is crystal clear and flows endlessly. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was named "Difficult to Aging Spring" based on the phrase "Yongxi Difficult to Aging" in "The Book of Songs Lu Song". The source of Jinshui is unique to Changshengpin, which is as green as jade and evergreen in all seasons. Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once praised: "The flowing water of the Jinci Temple is like jasper, and the microwave is green with dragon scales and sedges."
