Source of the Qinhuai River

The Source of the Qinhuai River lies at what is now Donglu Mountain, Yongyang Subdistrict, Lishui District. In the list attached to the district government's notice on the third batch of district-level protected sites (Li Zheng Fa [2017] No. 197) it appears within the list with a dash in the period column, and its location under the name then current, Donglu Mountain, Yongyang Town; Yongyang Town became Yongyang Subdistrict in 2015, and address uses the current name.

The district list gives no period for the place, so era is recorded as undetermined. No period is inferred from the name "source of the Qinhuai River", and the entry is not written up as a natural feature or as a spring or a well. The list does not say whether the point in question is a spring, a pool, or an inscribed marker.

Entry to be expanded. This is a skeleton entry: at present it guarantees only that the fields and sources are complete. Still to be added: the point meant and its form (spring, pool, inscription or marker), the documentary basis for the name, the relation between the claim to be the source of the Qinhuai River and Lishui, its present condition, and the published text of the third batch list. Until then, no unverified description will be entered.
