What is a tiger running spring water?

Hupao Spring is located in the side yard of Xiahui Temple (commonly known as Hupao Temple) in Baihefeng, Dacishan, southwest of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, about 5 kilometers away from the urban area. There is also an interesting myth and legend about the origin of this Tiger Running Spring. According to legend, in the 14th year of Tang Yuanhe (8 19), a monk named Huan Zhong (also known as Hangkong) came here and liked the beautiful scenery here, so he settled down. We'll talk about it later. Because there is no water nearby, he is going to move elsewhere. One night, I suddenly dreamed that the man of God told him, "There is a boy spring in Nanyue. We should send two tigers to move it here. " The next day, he really saw two tigers running (planing) to make a crypt, and the clear spring water immediately gushed out, so he named it Tiger Running Spring. Zhang Yining's Spring Festival couplets also cast a religious and mysterious color on Hu Baoquan.

It turns out that this Tiger Running Spring oozes from the steep sandstone and quartz sand behind the Dacishan fault, and the measured flow is 43.2-86.4 cubic meters per day. The spring water is clear and sweet, ranking first among all springs in the West Lake, and is known as the "third spring in the world" together with Longjing Spring.

Tiger Running Spring used to have three wells, but later it merged into two pools. On the stone bed in the stone niche near the main pool spring, the forearm man with his head resting on his right hand is lying sideways in the atlas, with a quiet and charitable expression. Doing nothing without knowing the transcendental realm of spring is quite like couplets:

The fifth is more dreamy, how many minutes can't be broken?

Wandering in the three treasures, the clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, two lifelike tigers are coming to the sleeping monk from the right side of the stone niche, and their images are also very vivid. This group of "Dream Tiger Map" reliefs contains the code name of the fairy dreaming in the album, and the fairy boy was sent to be transformed into two tigers and moved to Nanyue Qingquan. "The tiger moved the spring to the boy in Nanyue; I have robbed this true source for millions of years. " -This fairy tale is also written by this couplet of the tiger running to the temple, but it has more Buddhist meaning.

"Longjing Tea Tiger Running Water" is called the West Lake. Throughout the ages, people who come to Hangzhou are always happy to taste the West Lake Longjing tea brewed with the water of Tiger Run and Ganquan. Poets of past dynasties have left many poems praising the tiger running in spring water. For example, Su Dongpo said, "Taoist priests don't hesitate to take advantage of heaven to respect themselves before stepping on water." Huang Jingren (1749- 1783), a poet in Qing dynasty, said in his poem "Tiger Running Spring": "Where does the water come from? Nanyue is thousands of miles away. The dragon is like a post, and heaven and man are happy. " According to legend, the poet said that the water of Tiger Running Spring came from Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, where a fairy boy became a tiger. A clear spring suddenly gushed out of the water-deficient Daci Mountain, and people in the sky cheered and praised. He also praised the monk for opening mountains and painting springs for the benefit of the people.

In recent years, with the rapid development of reform and opening up, tourism is in the ascendant, which also promotes the vigorous development of tea culture in Hangzhou. In order to carry forward the outstanding heritage of China tea culture with a long history, popularize the scientific knowledge of tea and promote the exchange of tea culture between China and foreign countries, a large-scale tea museum has been built in Hangzhou. Nowadays, a number of tea rooms have been restored or built in Hupao, Longjing, Yuquan and Wu Shan in the West Lake Scenic Area. Chinese and foreign tea drinkers come here, often packed. Many tea lovers in Hangzhou go to famous springs such as Tiger Run by car or bike every morning to collect spring water, or make tea for guests, or entertain themselves. In view of more and more spring tasters, the press in Hangzhou once called for proper control of daily intake to protect Gu Quan's natural water quantity and its famous refreshing sweetness. "Tiger Run" is also the burial place of the well-known legend "Jigong", where "Jigong Hall" and "Jigong Tower" are located. Li Shutong, a master of modern art, became a monk here, and the memorial room of Master Hongyi also attracted people's attention.

Su Shi's poem "Tiger Running Spring";

On the east peak of the pavilion stone couch, the old man came to worship God.

Tigers move their eyes and feet, and dragons make waves and clap their hands.

So far, tourists have stopped drinking and listened to empty footsteps.

So, I know this is an old spring, so don't think about it on earth.

Yuan Hongdao's poem "Tiger Running Spring";

The bamboo forest is clean, and the monk should know that the temple is also poor.

Hungry birds * * * divide incense and accumulate rice, and dead branches often reward people.

The inscription on the head of the monument tells us that at the beginning of the mountain, the ash in the furnace is cold and protects the dharma god.

Draw three or four clear springs, and the bud tea is cooked and tasted new.
