Introduction to Fusu Spring: In the fourth year of Shaosheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1097), when Su Dongpo came to Qiong, he stayed at Jinsu Temple (in today's Wugong Temple). During this time, he taught the local people how to dig wells, and personally "teached and drilled double wells". "Spring" One spring is called Golden Millet, and the other spring is called Floating Millet. Because the spring water has a sweet taste and a strong water source, small bubbles often appear and float on the water surface, much like corn, so "those who drink from it are always full." In the early Republic of China, Jinsu Spring was destroyed, leaving Fusu Spring. In the 58th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1793), Ye Rulan, the prefect of Qiongzhou, drank from the spring and felt that the water quality was very good, so he wrote a plaque for the spring, which means: strong water source and abundant grain. The famous epigrapher Wang Gu of the Qing Dynasty wrote a couplet for the spring: "Thinking of millet flying and algae flying, clouds scattered clearing the lapels", which was inlaid on the side. Later, someone added the word "Shenlong" under the plaque at "Fusu Spring". The plaque was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
