It was known in ancient times as Daishan and revered as the East Sacred Mountain. Mount Taishan is a symbol of loftiness and grandeur with abruptly rising majestic peaks and crests. Its sceneries are spectacular. Many Chinese emperors including Qin Shi Huang, Wu Di of Han, Xuan Zong of Tang and Qian Long of Qing held grand sacrificial ceremonies on its summit. All through the dynasties 72 emperors had come here to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.Mount Taishan boasts of a wealth of natural legacies. A large number of scenic spots were given names since ancient times. They include 112 peaks, 98 precipitous ridges, 18 rock caves, 58 oddshaped rocks, 102 streams and valleys, 56 pools and waterfalls, 64 springs. It has 989 species of plants falling into 114 families, and a vegetation coverage of 79.9 percent.With cultural legacies handing down through thousands of years, the scenic area houses 22 groups of ancient architectures, 97 ancient remains, 819 commemorative stone tablets and 1,800 inscribed rocks. They are a natural museum for the study of ancient Chinese history and calligraphy.Its main sites of interest include Hall of Heavenly Blessing, South Gate to Heaven, Azure Cloud Temple, Sun Watching Peak, Sutra Rock Valley and Black Dragon Pool. Mount Taishan is a famed Sacred Mountain valuable in aesthetics, science and culturalhistory.The Baotu Spring趵突泉Built in 1956, the Baotu Spring Park is named after the Baotu Spring. Covering a total area of 54,945 square meters including 12,221 square meters waters, the Park is a traditional Chinese garden characterized by springs.The Park has three gates, of which the East Gate is the main gate. On the doorhead is inscribed three Chinese characters "趵突泉" written by Mr. Guo Moruo. The Park features sightseeing, fish watching, tea sampling, stones and culture, especially noted for its exquisiteness, cleanliness, peacefulness, simplicity and elegance. The scenery varies with natural landforms.The Park is divided into ten major viewing areas, such as the Baotu Spring, the Three Halls, the Shangzhi Hall, the Jade Rinsing Spring and the Bamboo Garden.Rockery Facing the Main Gate: Enter the main gate and we will find a rockery in front of us, which was set up in 1964 with stones quarried from the mountains in the southern part of Jinan which are known as North Taihu Stone because of their similarity in quality and color to Taihu Lake Stone produced in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. These stones are characterized by natural texture and elegant shape. As a result, the Rockery looks vigorous, bold, simple and grand. By using traditional Chinese gardening techniques, the Rockery is characterized by imposing appearance, orderly layout and a good combination of hill and water. Together with the stream behind, it becomes a separate attraction.30 meters from north to south and 13 meters from west to east, the Rockery has a 4-meter-high main peak and a 3-meter-high side peak. There is a cave under the Rockery with an area of about 16 square meters, where visitors can take a short rest before they go inside the park. The dim cave also leads to the rear rockery surrounded by a stream. The former and the latter contrasts obviously but naturally. The cave of the Rockery is designed successfully with a large piece of stone arranged on the top and at the entrance, forming a vivid and imposing scene of suspending large stones. On the cave wall there are enough rifts which allow light and air to go into the cave where it is not too dark or humid. The Rockery is an excellent work of its kind in Jinan which has been highly praised by gardeners.Tortoise Rock: North of the Rockery is a winding path and a stone bridge. Then what comes into your eyes is a huge rock, called Tortoise Rock, standing among the bamboo, grass and flowers. Originally, it was once a collection by Zhang Yanghao, a famous writer of the Yuan Dynasty. Heloved the nature so much that he resigned from office and lived in Jinan in seclusion. According to records, he collected ten famous stones, of which four ones looked respectively like dragon, phoenix, tortoise and kylin, generally called ,Four Miraculous Stones". At present, only the Tortoise Rock and the Phoenix Rock can still be preserved. The Tortoise Rock is characterized by graceful pose and natural texture, being a perfect Taihu Lake stone. 4 meters in height and 8 tons in weight, it derves the title "No.1 Famous Stone in Jinan". Taking a photo with this rock means longevity and auspiciousness.Jade Rinsing Spring: Go ahead and we see a clear rectangular pool enclosed by white marble railings. This is the Jade Rinsing Spring. Overflowing from a flat rock like a water curtain, when meeing a riprap, the spring splashes all over, pouring into the pool with cheers and laughters lingering in your ears. It is said that Li Qingzhao, a famous poetess in the Northern Song Dynasty, often dressed and made up herself at the spring when she lived here.The three Chinese characters "漱玉泉" were written by Mr. Guan Yousheng, once a famous painter and calligrapher in Jinan.There are different stories about the name of the spring. Someone belives that the spring is so named because it sounds like rinsing jade. Someone thinks that in ancient times, women's tooth was called "jade", and the poetess Li Qingzhao often dressed and made up at the spring, hence its name. Others believe that the spring derives its name from Li Qingzhao's famous poem collection Jade Rinsing Collection.Visitors often put coins into the pool. If your coin can float on the water surface, it suggests that you have a good luck. In fact, this is purely a natural phenomenon caused by water tensility. Day by day, numerous coins have deposited on the pool bottom.Memorial Hal1 to Li Qingzhao: Located behind the Jade Rinsing Spring, the Memorial Hall covers an area of 362 square meters.The Memorial Hall was built in national style and features according to historial record about Li Qingzhao's former residence by the Jade Rinsing Spring. Consisting of pavilions, corridors and the main gate, shaded by green bamboo, the courtyard looks plain and quiet. Mr. Guo Moruo, an eminent writer of modern China, left a lot of inscriptions here. On the two colums in the front of the Hall is inscribed an antithetical couplet written by Mr. Guo, which reads:"The Former Residence of Li Qingzhao was shaded by weeping willows, not far from the Daming Lake and the Baotu Spring; from her works we can find the greatness of her writing style."The first line describes the environment of her former residence and the second line gives a high praiseof her works. The twenty stone inscriptions inlaid in the east wall of the courtyard were left by some famous calligraphers such as Qi Gong and Jiang Huaisong. In the main hall there is a statue of Li Qingzhao produced by a famous sculptural artist Wang Zhaoshan, an introduction to all her life, her portrait and her masterpieces.Li Qingzhao(1084-1151): a well known poetess of the Song Dynasty, born in Mingshui town of Zhangqiu, Jinan. She came from an official family, where her father was a civilian and a famous learned historian, and her mother was also well educated. Edification and enlightenment from her parents together with her endowed intelligence and own diligence made her become an outstanding writer and a great poetess. Miss Li was versed in poetry, lyric and prose, famous in the literary world for her lyrics in particular. In addition, she was also good at calligraphy, painting and music.At the age of 18, Li Qingzhao married Zhao Mingcheng, son of the prime minister and a famous epigrapher of the Song DynastY. They had a happy life and helped each other write poems or study epigraphy and calligraphy. Li Qingzhao showed great respect and support for her husband, who in return admired her literary talent. They lived a thrifty life and saved a lot of money for buying ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and precious cultural relics.At the age of 30 (AD1127) when the Jin Dynasty invaded, the Song Dynasty retreated to the south. Li Qingzhao and her husband were forced to move to the South of the Yangtze River. Shortly her husband died of illness. Her life changed dramatically: from a wealthy and easy life to a homeless and miserable life. After suffering a lot on the way southward, Miss Li wrote many patriotic poems expressing her worries and concerns about the future of the country and the people.At the age of 40, Li Qingzhao remarried. However, in the third month after her wedding, she found her husband was an official who always took bribes and abused the law. Then she informed against her husband and divorced him. In her later years, she lived a poor, unstable, miserable and lonely life until she died.Li Qingzhao was a versatile writer with outstanding literary talent. In lyric writing, her wording was appealing and easily understandable. In lyric criticizing, she advocated making a clear distinction between poem and lyric. The greatest contribution Li Qingzhao made to lyric creation was her development of Wanyue School Lyric. As a result she was reputed as the orthodox creator of this school.Li Qingzhao's works before and after moving to the south differ greatly in content and style. Before moving to the south, her works focused on praising nature and love. Because her husband often traveled on business, she wrote a lot of poems and lyrics expressing her gloomy mood and loneliness. After moving to the south, her works focused on missing her native land and regretting for the national calamity and the family disruption. Her famous lyric Slow, Slow Tune is a recognized representative piece all through the ages.Former Residence ofLi Qingzhao: Attached to the Memorial Hall is the Former Residence of Li Qingzhao, consisting of halls, corridors and bridges. In the Jingzhi Hall and the Youzhu Hall there is Ling Qingzhao's waxwork, and calligraphy and paintings of different dynasties. Behind the former residence is the Zhouying Spring, where the stream flows under a small bridge, surrounded by weeping willows, presenting a charming scene.The Baotu SpringLocated in the west part of the park, also called "Luo Spring" in ancient times, the Baotu Spring has a long history of more than 3,500 years. According to historical records, Huangong, King of the Lu State, met with King of the Qi State at Luo in 694 BC. In the Northern Wei Dyansty, it was called Eying Spring because of the Eying Temple by the spring. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Gong, a famous writer, wrote anarticle entitled Records of Two Halls in Qi Prefecture, in which the spring was formally called the "Baotu Spring". In the Jin Dynasty, a stele was erected by the spring, saying that the Baotu Spdng was First among the 72 famous springs. The Baotu Spring bubbled up day and night from three jets and splashes all over, sounding like a distant roll of thunder, looking like boiling waves and presenting a magnificent sight named "Baotu Gushing into the Sky", one of the eight major scenes of Jinan. Many poems and articles in praising of the Baotu Spring have been left behind by emperors and numerous scholars and men of letters of different dynasties, such as Zeng Gong, Yuan Haowen, Zhang Yanghao, Wang Shouren, Pu Songling, Emperor Kangxi and EmperorQianlong.By the spring there are many inscriptions by celebrities. The two Chinese characters "观澜"(watch billows) on the west wall of the Pavilion were written by Zhang Jinqin, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. The three Chinese characters "趵突泉" (Baotu Spring) inscribed on the stele in the spring water were written by Hu Zanzong, Governor of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty. The other three Chinese characters "第一泉"(First Spring) were written by Wang Zhonglin, a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty.Origin of the Baotu Spring:Surrounded by mountains and hills, the elevation of Jinan city proper is only around 20 meters, where the groundwater is very shallow. The spring water comes from the vast mountainous areas between the city proper and the Jinxiuchuan Reservoir, where the rocks are thick, pure limestones formed 400 million years ago. The limestone terrane tilts at a pitch of 30 degrees from south to north. Numerous subterranean streams flow toward Jinan city proper. The subterranean rocks north of the Darning Lake become much harder, blocking the subterranean water. Then the water is stored up here and becomes more and more. The old Jinan city is very low-lying, where some places are lower than the subterranean water surface. Then the subterranean water vents out through the earth's surface, becoming various springs. Most of the springs are concentrated on the south of the old city from west to east, including four major groups of springs: the Black-Tiger Spring, the Pearl Spring, the Baotu Spring and the Five-Dragon Pool.Varing greatly in size, the springs in Jinan are mostly rising springs, of which the Baotu Spring is the representative. The spring water bubbles up from the ground, rolling like huge wheels, presenting a magnificent scene. The spring pool is surrounded by ancient buildings of different hight strewn at random. Visitors can appreciate the spring from different angles. The water of the Baotu Spring is clear and sweet, good for making tea. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong brough with him water from the Jade Spring Hill in Beijing when he made his inspection tour to the south. When he came to Jinan, he changed to carry the water of the Baotu Spring for drinking. Travel Tips: The Baotu Spring Park is dotted with a lot of spdngs, including 41 famous springs such asthe Golden Thread Spring, the Jade Rinsing Spring, the Horse Spring and the Willow Catkin Spring, forming the best known group of springs in Jinan. The Baotu Spring, First among the Springs in Jinan, has become a unique symbol of Jinan, the City of Springs. If you visit Jinan during the period when there is much rain, you.will be lucky enough to enjoy the "thread" moving in the Golden Thread Spring.Crane Coming Bridge: First built of wood, it was rebuilt of stone in 1956. Lined with carved stone railings, the bridge spans across the spring pool. At the southern end of the bridge there stands a wooden archway. On the two sides of its horizontal tablet are respectively inscribed "蓬莱旧迹" meaning " Former Site of Penglai" and "洞天福地" meaning "Fascinating and Fortunate Place". In ancient times people had once compared the three jets of the Baotu Spring to the three fairyland mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. The Baotu Spring was praised as a fairyland and its water was just like sacred water, hence the saying that you will become immortal if you drink the water of the Baotu Spring.At the southern end of the bridge stands a stone stele, on whose two sides thereare inscriptions of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, the only one of its kind in the country. The front side is Emperor Kangxi's inscription "激湍", bold and lifelike in penmanship. The rear side is an epigraph by Emperor Qianlong, a long paragraph of writing.Travel Tips: At the northern end of the bridge stands the Crane Watching Pavilion, where visitors can drink tea, take a rest, have dinners or buy souvenirs. Immortal Lv's Temple: Located on the north of the Baotu Spring, it was first built by Zeng Gong, a famous writer in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It consists of three main halls standing along ?a central axis: Hall of Three Sages, Eying Temple and Luoyan Hall. On the columns are inscribed famous ?lines in praise of the Baotu Spring:"Vapors and moisture produced by the Baotu Spring float to shroud Mt. Huabuzhu, the sound of the billows can even be heard at the Daming Lake."They were composed by Zhao Mengfu, a famous writer of the Yuan Dynasty. The penmanship is ?vigorous and the lines give a vivid description of the magnificent Baotu Spring. Billow-Watching Pavilion: Located by the west of the spring pool, 7.5 meters high, the pavilion covers an area of 30.8 square meters. It was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dyansty and in 1971. The three Chinese characters "趵突泉"(Baotu Spring) inscribed on the stele in the spring water were written by Hu Zanzong, Governor of Shandong in the Ming Dyansty. The other three Chinese characters "第一泉" were written by Wang Zhonglin, a famous calligraphyer in the Qing Dynasty.In the park you can also see the White Snow Tower, the place where Li Panlong, a famous writer of the Ming Dynasty, studied. It consists of a stage and the main hall, in front of which is the Wuyou Spring.Bamboo Garden: Located in the west part of the Baotu Spring Park, the Bamboo Garden has got its ?name for the bamboo forest inside. The garden is a good combination of the prince's residences in Beijing, ?the courtyards in the south and the traditional residences of Jinan. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty, and rebuilt several times in the Qing Dynasty. By 1917, it had developed into a large complex with high artistic values and a well organized structure.Covering an area of 1.2 hectares, the garden consists of 186 rooms in 13 courtyards, where there are several famous springs, 4 pavilions and 5 bridges.Of high artistic value, the garden arranges its courtyards ingeniously and takes good advantage of the natural conditions such as spring pools and streams: The courtyards are connected to each other, where the rooms, halls, corridors and pavilions are arranged at random.
