Liuquan is located at the bottom of the Donggou of Pujiazhuang Village, formerly known as a well full of wells, which often overflow. Also because of the planting of willows around, there are willows and springs, also known as willow springs. At that time, it was the main road between Qingzhou Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, with bustling passers-by. Legend has it that Pu Songling used to set up tea and smoke in Maoting Pavilion near the spring. Every time passers-by passed by, he was invited to rest. He was asked to talk about foxes and ghosts so as to collect materials and create Strange Tales from Liaozhai. Pu Songling liked Liuquan very much. He named himself "Liuquan Jushi" and carved a Liuquan seal. In his inscription "Preface to the Raising and Building of the Dragon King's Temple", he called the spring "water is clear, sweet and fragrant, wine is brewed, and incense is added, and it is not easy to give Penglai". Today's Willow Spring, although there is no spring that springs out of the day, but the Maoting Pavilion is just like, weeping willows Yiyi, still vaguely visible in that year's scenic spot. A new "Liuquan" stele, written by Mr. Shen Yanbing, has been erected beside the spring. It has become the main scenic spot in the garden, and visitors are bound to visit it.
