Four eyes with a well Saviour mouth

"alley" derives from the yuan, to the transliteration dynasty Mongolian "wells".When the yuan dynasty, never for the Centre of the city of wells formed type chessboard layout.People surround the residential pattern in the hutongs, gradually formed.A saying: Beijing has much a hutong were how much Wells.Visible Beijing Wells was beyond statistics.

This situation is Saviour zone Wells.Ma family life in the corridors of alnoides leather, went to the East has two public wells not far, when a hutong Lin in five water wells root went north, currently east east taoyuan armour no.2 building;Another has a water hole in the mouth of hutong taoyuan until the former taoyuan 1st floor is by Wells, this corner also an a small LongWangMiao a metre high?Private wells have greatly, the professional takai avenue Saviour hutongs and senior took his retirement from the characteristics of the hutongs are West wells in hutong wells private paihuli hutong.When someone else for the water of the wealth and practice, in their hospital or residential door dozens private wells Wells.These, some hired still master of the water for the guys to other water users, or gradually appear by eating well and living in the water JuZi send wateralso known as the water water WoZi.Such WoZi South and avenue of Saviour release two, forget not just block in the South, a mouth ZhaoDengYu professional in the West.When the Manchu, royal yuanmingyuan, West of Saviour of the summer palace, etc. YuYuan, is only one road.Emperor loess pad will be ways to travel, street spilled for the purification of the water, therefore, Saviour except public Wells and private Wells outside, occupy a place of seven Royal.Wellhead peacetime all use sealed iron plates, people can not use.Listen to people of inclined wuyuan of Saviour speak, these wells of Saviour tours all also in the East, YiShun are arranged in space with Street North extension hutongs (now HuTongKou), Office of fu jade (now the leather alnoides ChuanTangMen, West Street of powder to canon.trois hills (now HuTongKou)), chapter West yuan chung show (now a new HuTongKou), seven place.Saviour of countless Wells has already disappeared in most of the memory of the people, a single bite located in the constituent Assembly of the skin of hutongs "four eyes far West" (now alnoides Street luce construction materials factory leather door industry Corporation)(, to the East), has always left in the old Saviour district mentioned.

Old man of Beijing knows the qing Emperor Palace come from West of the YuQuanShan water, pull water, water wheel are through Saviour in the city.When dawn, live to Saviour on both sides of the streets of people, you'll hear malah series sound MuLun "kindness" and subsequent ZhiNiu open "" sound, it goes without saying that this is the Palace thin high-arched body out of the citythe wheel in water to draw water.Year after year, day after day, always thus.

One day, it is said, make the transportation of water, while point out Saviour, but after dark the night to close the door to the series, still not back.This can be anxiety bad guard at the door of the poor, they have once more and went out the door to search in all directions, finally distantly hear the wheels "gu long gu long" sound, the poor Gates agent guaranteed trying to prepare ready to close the door to work.Blow of eye to old agents doing their wheel in water pitched along cast carriages entered the city, a poor officer shouted: "and irrigation!" (drink), missed the time is set to you do not see the head. "And then they identified to close a door, returned to the room of the poor.

Now that the servants of the old, performing their series of road of the city after more with plain wheel reduces turbulence, began to feel a little bad, hurry to stop the car, the car looked, water in a cold sweat.The original route turbulence, outlet, returned a busy not half emptied.Former officers thought, really designed weasel bite disease ducks, was his drinking gao, missed time, now the water Miss much, it what to do.If YuQuanShan return, gates were closed, where they were, once again, time is not sufficient.Strong wine over the gallbladder, former officers who force wine was very keen of mind, not far from the door comes silently, when a well without a name before is absent of moab hastily, water wheelhastily and went to the royal palace, wheel of water in the day fear the poor.Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager cixi drank the false YuQuan landscape, not found any anomaly, think and YuQuanShan water is as sweet as former coca.Since the officials later old courage is order more and more large, each time in the city, while the car after a glance at how many, sprinkle with well water much fill.Time grows, rumours of drinking the Empress Dowager cixi walk on water, YiChuanShi ten preach, fangyuan hundreds of people in the came here to fetch water, all personally want taste drink the Empress Dowager cixi is water.

Because people draw water increased to prevent accidents and reduce water circulation, the fate of wait time people come Masons raise funds and original wellhead expand coverage slate four slightly higher that the bucket Cup wellhead slate.Since then, the well was called "four eyes well."

My youth saw this well from the edge of four wells, two times more timid flakes by Groove deep generals, if you can imagine that some people in the controversy surrounding the living scene of water well drilling.Listen to my grandmother said, maximum of my father, home of generations of people drink water wells.Then have two women find a short-sighted jump well, think well water dirty people.With the popularization of the pressure of the water (my home also began to use a generator installed Saviour opening well of sleeves), "four eyes of well pressure gradually have been abandoned."

Some research, the mouth "eyes four wells is initially built the water when Ming Great Wall digging, convenient and visible" four eyes well is really an age there and has seen the legendary.
