The Economic Development of Shenquan Town

Go west along the cement road of Yuhua Tower, meander south, and then go west, which is the Xigang Wharf. It is said that this is the best place to see a mirage. According to a book, the mirage in Shenquan Town is one of the three major mirages in China, which often appears in the southwest of Shenquan Port in spring and summer.

It is said that one afternoon in March 2005, a large orange colorful cloud appeared in the southwest port, slowly drifting eastward. Suddenly, some colorful clouds turned into sailboats, and they came here in the wind. Those sailboats later competed with each other and became an arch bridge with neon lights and scattered traffic. Since then, great changes have taken place in the mirage, which is extremely beautiful. The south of Xigang Wharf is the harbor, and the corner of the harbor is the south bank. Close contact with the sea, barefoot on the soft beach, the breath of the sea came to my face. It's boring to splash a handful of seawater; Embrace a wisp of sea breeze, full of lofty sentiments.

Due to the economic development, people's aesthetic taste is becoming more and more elegant, and "Moon Watching on the South Bank" has become a new landscape of Shenquan since the reform and opening up. Every Mid-Autumn Festival night, people from Shenquan Town and its surrounding towns, men, women and children, take the ferry and bring fireworks, red candles, fruits and drinks, preserved squid and moon cakes to the South Bank. Some around the sand wall on the beach, lit fireworks and candles, and had a heart-to-heart talk with red wine; Some swim in the sea, pick up shells, enjoy the moon and the sea, and enjoy family happiness. Young men and women are dating here to pray for the "Moon Mother". Mid-Autumn Night has become a "Valentine's Day" for young people in Shenquan and surrounding towns and villages.

Another beautiful view of the sea is the smoke dome in the southwest highland of Shenquan. Boarding here, looking at the sea in the south, don't have a realm. I saw vast smoke waves, seagulls scattered all over the place, and ships undulating with the waves. Fishing boats go out to sea, and Qian Fan competes, such as warships, which are vast; When the fishing boat entered the harbor, it was the time when Malik was rushing, just like a group of soldiers returning home in triumph. The scene is spectacular. Climbing high and overlooking, it broadens people's horizons, makes people relaxed and happy, and extrapolates. This is "looking at the sea through the smoke dome". About 800 years ago, Shenquan, one of the famous ancient towns in Huilai, was still an island surrounded by water, unlike today, when the whole land was connected with its surroundings. However, a spring water was found on the beach by the sea, which was still sweet despite the ebb and flow. It has become a wonder of the Cape, and it will be a fisherman. In A.D. 1553, this place formerly known as "Shen Qian" was officially renamed as "Shenquan", which can be described as "the city is named after the spring".

This spring, which is famous for its sweet water, still shows no signs of drying up. The wall of the spring is paved with stones, and the guardrail surrounds the "Spring of Life" where Hongyi Shenquan Town once lived. The 600-year-old historical relics make it unique. There is a pavilion next to the spring, named Ganquan Pavilion, which was built in the seventeenth year of Qing Qianlong and was destroyed by a typhoon in 1979. The Ganquan Pavilion, now standing by the spring, was built at 1980. On a pavilion column, the reporter found an interesting scene-a pair of one-legged couplets: it is fast to take it, and it is also fast to carry it. The single label of brine soaking and steaming is unremarkable. People in the same trade said that according to legend, this couplet was written by Fu Su, a famous prodigy in Huilai history. Due to the unique mosaic and ingenious combination with the wonders of the divine spring, the emotional realm expressed is also quite high, so it has been hard to find a word for hundreds of years and has become an out-and-out one-legged couplet. Rural rumors, when Guo Moruo came here, deliberately pondered for a long time. Guo Moruo's experience has given this isolated couple a quite authoritative annotation. There is a standing stone in the pavilion, which is an inscription on the pavilion tower of Shenquan, and the well, joint, monument and pavilion are integrated into one. It is recorded that "if you go to Hui, you will go to God; if you go to God, you will see spring; if you are happy, you will be connected".

As for prodigy Fu Su, Li Wensheng told us that he was born in Shenquan Town in the fourth year of Ming Hongwu. In the spring when he was 13 years old, the local counties recommended him to cross the river to visit Zhu Yuanzhang in Nanjing in the name of recruiting talented people. Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was too young to pursue further studies in Beijing, so he gave him money and food to repatriate and told him to make contributions to the imperial court when he grew up. Fu Su set foot on the road home. There are many legends about the experiences of local people on Fu Su Road. The most coherent one is that when Fu Su passed through Zhou Pu, Zhejiang Province, because dysentery and plague broke out in the local area, Fu Su just mastered the method of treating dysentery and stayed in the local area to treat the people, which was very effective. I got sick because of overwork, and my doctor couldn't help himself. Unfortunately, I was killed in another country. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news of Fu Su's death, he was heartbroken and ordered to be reburied. Huilai magistrate built a cenotaph for Fu Su on the mountainside of Huilai Ma Dongshan, and this pile of loess is still there. Immigrants from the Central Plains and Fujian thrive here. Fu Su, a prodigy, was born in this beautiful seaside town in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1372). At the age of eight, a child prodigy wrote the famous Thirty Poems by jathyapple, which was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, and was named a child prodigy, which was passed down as a much-told story.

Shenquan has a long history and splendid culture, especially the dazzling aura of the child prodigy Kirin crayons, which makes this beautiful port city exude the unique charm of ancient culture and modern civilization.

People often say: "Those who go to Hui will go to God, and those who go to God will go to the spring." There is a "Ganquan Corner" in the southeast corner of Shenquan Town, which was very close to the beach in ancient times. In the Song Dynasty, people found a fresh water spring on this beach. Spring water is sweet and inexhaustible, which can dispel summer heat and evil spirits, better than medical stone. It's amazing! In the Ming Dynasty, people built it into a spring well. There is a Ganquan Pavilion next to Houquan Well, and there is a stone tablet in the pavilion. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, Grace Wai Wong, a magistrate of a county in Yi Hui, wrote an inscription, which recorded that Fu Su, a prodigy, led people to draw water here. There is a saying like this: "So, the spring is revealed by people, and the city is a spring." This can probably know the origin of the city name "Shenquan".

On the left side of the stone tablet, there is a unique couplet of prodigy Fu Su: "Take it with you, steam it with salt, and mark it in plain color." Child prodigies' one-legged couplet has attracted scholars, talents and celebrities, and civilian military commanders to write the next couplet. Although there are good couples, because the first couplet was written by a prodigy, no one has carved the second couplet on the pavilion column so far, making the first couplet of a prodigy a unique scenery of the divine spring forever.
