Zhuoying Spring
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Coordinates".
The Zhuoying Spring (Template:Zh, literally "washing out the tassel spring") is a culturally significant artesian karst spring located in historical center of the city of Jinan, Shandong Province, China. It is listed among the 72 famous springs (Template:Zh) of Jinan (as number 19.).[1] The spring forms a large spring pool, the Palace Pool (Template:Zh), that is used as a public outdoor swimming pool.
The name "Zhuoying Spring" comes from a poem from Mencius, "Li Lou Shang" (Template:Zh), that contains the phrase "wash out the tassel" (Template:Zh).[1]
When the army of the Jin dynasty invaded Jinan moving southward into the territory of the Southern Song dynasty, the local garrison commander, Guan Sheng (Template:Zh), refused to surrender. A bloody battle ensued and the soldiers washed the textile decorations of their lancets in the Palace Pool.[1]
The name "Palace Pool" dates back to the time of the Ming dynasty, when the De Wang Palace (Template:Zh) was constructed at the site and the spring pool was included into its grounds.[1] Today, the pool lies in a historical residential neighborhood with private residences on the water edge.
