Mud spring

Mud spring

Niyuquan (Hindu spring) is located in niyuquan village, 7.5km southwest of Liubu town. In the past, it was silted up by the sediment of mountain torrents for many times. After people dug it, it became a spring again, so it was named. According to the old people in the village, this village has a long history. In the early years, it was called Indian spring village, later called muquan village, and later called niyuquan village. The village is named after the spring, and the name of the spring has been changed many times. After the spring was silted up, it was sealed but not gushed, so it was renamed "sealed spring village"; when the spring was dredged and gushed again, it was also renamed "niyuquan village". Therefore, this spring is called "Indian spring" in the records of 72 springs by Hao Zhigong of Qing Dynasty. Both Chongzhen and Qianlong's "Licheng county annals" and Daoguang's "Jinan Prefecture annals" contain: "the spring of India is in pangjiazhuang, Liyu." County annals also said: "yanjiahe in Liyu, from the Indian spring, into jinyangchuan." Apart from the fact that it is not known why pangjiazhuang is now a village, niyuquan village is just to the east of Liyu, and yanjiahe village is to the north.
