What are some interesting stories about fish springs and shrimp springs?

Fish Fountain is located in Yesanpo, a national scenic spot in Laishui County, Hebei Province. There is a "fishbone cave spring" in its central area, which is a permanent one-eyed giant spring. Spring water flows from the mountain grottoes. The fountain mouth is about 30 cm in diameter, the water quality is extremely clear, and the natural flow exceeds 0.3 cubic meters per second.

Every year around the Grain Rain in the lunar calendar, fresh fish will be ejected from the spring with water, and the number is quite large, reaching about 2,000 Jin every year, which is very impressive. This fish, like migratory birds, flows out on time every year. In September, the fish returned to the cave for the winter, which became the wonder of the fish spring in Gyeonggi and one of the "Eight Strange Springs" in Hebei.

It is reported that the "point C fish" flying from the spring is not limited to Laishui County, Hebei Province, but there are many fish spring wonders in Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei. For example, there is a spring cave in Shankou Village, Songxi Township, Wuning County, Jiangxi Province, which is 1.5 meters high and 2 meters wide. People can bend down and go in. 10 meters later, the hole gradually becomes smaller, and a clear spring flows out of the hole, which is inexhaustible in all seasons. Interestingly, every May and June, groups of fish gush out with the spring water, play together after coming out of the hole, swim for a while, and then turn around and go back against the current.

At the foot of Xiashan Mountain in the west of Pingguo County on the north bank of Youjiang River (a tributary of Xijiang River), which is 0/20 km northwest of Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, there is a spring mouth, which is very close to the river. The spring water is crystal clear, flowing downwards and pouring into Youjiang River. Every year in the dead of night in March and April of the lunar calendar, dense shrimps gather in the shallow water pit above the confluence of Youjiang water and spring water, scrambling to go upstream. The man who was washed down by the spring failed once, but charged twice and three times. The spirit of going forward is really amazing. After they rushed to the mouth of the spring, they leisurely entered the depths of the spring with the attitude of winners, and never knew when they would come out of the spring again. This is the famous "shrimp in spring".

The peculiar habit of shrimps here is that they are raised in rivers and springs. Youjiang is their "hometown" and Xia Quan is their villa. According to the ancestral experience of hundreds of years, local village farmers summed up: "Shrimps never leave their nests during the day, and the darker the day, the more shrimps there are. There is no moonlit night in March and April, and two prawns a night. " At night, as long as a shrimp cage is installed at the mouth of the spring, you can catch more than ten kilograms of shrimp by sitting by the spring without "fishing" for two or three hours. In fact, there are shrimps in summer and autumn, because the spring mouth is flooded by the rising river, and the shrimp cage is useless. You can only fish it with a net next to the shrimp spring, or return with a full load. Only in winter, shrimps are few and thin.
