Yuquan Mountain is a mountain, located in the west of the Summer Palace. This Yuquan Mountain consists of six peaks, winding from north to south, which is a branch of the eastern foot of Xishan Mountain. In Shanyang, the most prominent place is that "the soil is hidden, making black dragon scales, sand marks and stone gaps, and springs are everywhere." Because the spring water here is "clear blue and clean as jade", it is called "Yuquan".
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Ying described it in a poem: "Spring at the foot of the mountain flows like a jade rainbow, and Qingling is different from other springs." This mountain is also called Yuquan Mountain. It was favored by the rulers at the end of 12 century because it was close to the mountains and rivers and not far from the capital. According to legend, Jin Zhangzong once built Yuquan Mountain Palace and Furong Hall here. Since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it has also become a summer resort for emperors. Although Qianlong was named after the outstanding sixteen scenic spots, he thought that Yuquan Mountain also covered the spiritual realm. Although pavilions are dotted, they are sometimes bright; The mountains and rivers are full of breath, and the haze is with the creation. Therefore, there will be a big difference before and after the meeting; One step difference, different direction. I can summarize it in sixteen scenes. Yuquan Mountain is the imperial garden of feudal emperors. Without the special gift of the emperor, even the court ministers could not get in.
