Introduction to Yuquan: About one kilometer east of Changlian Village, there is a cave on the roadside where cold water gushes out, called "Yuquan". Passers-by take a rest here, take a sip of the clear spring, and feel refreshed and clear-eyed.
Legend has it that a long time ago, a god passed by this place and was thirsty. He raised his umbrella and poked the rock wall. A hole was poked in the rock wall, and water immediately gushes out of the hole. From then on, no matter how dry the weather was, the water flow was endless, and the weather was warm in winter and cool in summer. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a pavilion called "Jade Spring Pavilion". There was a patio inside the pavilion, and the spring water flowed into the stream through the patio. There were railings, benches, and seats outside the pavilion for passers-by to rest. There is a tall wooden red-lacquered Sizhou Hall screen on the inside of the pavilion. The stone pier is paved with a white stone slab. On the stone slab is a purple-red incense burner. The incense burner is made of gold and is worshiped regularly. The famous riddle is "Seven feet of paint on the inside, seven feet of paint on the outside, paint plus paint on the outside". This riddle was understood by the person who stole the gold furnace as "seven feet inside, seven feet outside, seven feet plus seven feet". Finally, a young shopkeeper discovered it and the gold incense burner was stolen. The thief replaced it with a stone incense burner.
