Have you ever heard of this reason? Then this issue of urban culture will give you a detailed analysis of the origin of the name of Wuquan Mountain in Lanzhou.

Wuquan Mountain is located at the northern foot of Gaolan Mountain on the south side of Lanzhou City. It is a famous scenic spot on the Dragon with a history of more than 2,000 years. "The trees are lush, the flowers and plants are fragrant, and the waterfalls sing and carve beams and paint buildings." The scenic spots in the park are mainly five-eye famous springs and ancient Buddhist buildings, with an altitude of 1600 meters and an area of 267,000 square meters. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been more than 10 buildings and 1000 buildings, with a building area of 10000 square meters. The "King Kong Hall" in the earliest existing building "Chongqing Temple" was built in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1372), which has been more than 600 years since.

Legend has it that in the Western Han Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, an ancient general named Huo Qubing led a hundred thousand troops to the Huns. After many days of marching, the army came to a bare mountain at dusk one day. The army was exhausted, hungry and thirsty.

So Huo Qubing ordered the three armies to camp at the foot of the mountain, cook in a pot, rest for one night, and move on tomorrow. Suddenly a soldier came to report: "There is no water for cooking." Huo Qubing ordered people to look for water everywhere, but there was no result. Huo Qubing and several generals stood on the hillside, and by the faint moonlight, they saw the soldiers turning over drafts on the ground to chew and quench their thirst, and the horses licked the stones that had cooled down with their tongues ...

Huo Qubing loves his soldiers very much, and he is very sad to see his soldiers so hungry. So he took the horse and went out to find water by himself. How can there be water in a place where grass can't grow? The soldiers quickly dissuaded them. Huo Qubing, a fierce man, drew his sword and stabbed the stone wall around him. I saw a cold light and some sparks. The sword is deeply embedded in the stone wall, and the hilt is left outside. Huo Qubing drew his sword. Suddenly, a clean stream came out with a sword, and the men were very surprised.

Seeing more people and less water, Huo Qubing stabbed four swords in succession on the hill, and clear springs flowed everywhere. Since Huo Qubing left, the five springs have been flowing, hence the name Wuquan Mountain.
