In fact, when it comes to fish springs, as the name suggests, they are springs that can gush out fish. However, this spring is not in the wild, but in the home of a farmer in Ningchang Ancient Town, Wuxi.

One day when his son Li Xianhui was digging a hole by himself, water suddenly came out, and many fish emerged from the cracks in the rocks. The father and son were overjoyed. mad. Later, after an on-site inspection by the fishery department, it was believed that the fish springing out of the fish spring were Yunnan panfish.

According to analysis by forestry department personnel, the origin of the fish spring is a coincidence. That is to say, the father and son of the Li family happened to dig a fish channel in the underground river, and redirected the fish in the original underground river to flow out of the fish spring. At the same time, they also brought an unexpected wealth to the family.

According to local elders, fish springs were discovered in Ningchang Ancient Town before liberation, and people used Shao Kei to fish at that time.

According to Mr. Li Changquan, since the fish spring was dug in 2008, a large number of fish have emerged during the flood season from April to September every year. "In the first wave of rising water this year, many fish flocked to the ponds." Li Changquan told upstream news reporters that several ponds have been built at the fish springs below his house, and the fish will disperse every spring and summer flood season. Water gushes out from the cracks in the rocks. On the most recent day, nearly 1,000 kilograms of fish came out. During a surge in the market, a maximum of more than 1,000 kilograms can be harvested in a few days, with the most sold for more than 120,000 yuan.

At the same time, the reporter learned that most of the wild fish emerging in Yuquan are Yunnan panfish of about 2 taels, and the market price is 80 yuan/jin. There are also a small amount of "dumb fish" (schizothorax), selling for 100 yuan/jin.

Li Changquan said that these fish are now sold to nearby villagers or tourists. During the flood season, a large number of tourists come to visit every day. Each person charges 5 yuan for admission. This fish spring can bring 300,000 yuan to his family every year. Income of about 1 yuan.

Nowadays, this "treasure basin" that only catches fish and sells them for money during the flood season has become a magical attraction in Wuxi County. Many tourists who came here said, "It's just to see something strange."

The reporter saw at the scene that Li Changquan installed a monitoring system at home to check the fish situation in the spring in real time. The surrounding environment is also clear at a glance.
