As early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, Chenzhou, Hunan Province recorded that hot springs irrigated farmland, and people used hot spring resources to grow rice. The ancients also used hot springs to irrigate vegetables and fruits and raise animals. Hot springs were also used in handicraft production in ancient times, because they contain minerals and the temperature is higher than that of ordinary spring water.
Extended data:
The Ming and Qing Dynasties were also a great time for the development of hot springs in China, and the hot spring culture basically spread to all parts of the country. Then, the Qing Dynasty rose, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and Xiaotangshan Hot Spring built Tangquan Palace. Chengde Jehol Hot Spring has also been developed.
Among them, Beijing Xiaotangshan Hot Spring is recorded in Yuan Dynasty's Da Tong Yuan Zhi: "The hot spring is at the foot of Tangshan, southeast of Changping 15 km". Xiaotangshan in Ming and Qing Dynasties has become a major town in northern Beijing.
It became a forbidden place for feudal emperors. Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Xiaotangshan many times. Kangxi also wrote a poem, "Hot spring water boils, immortal source gives birth to cinnabar, melts at the beginning of the month, and microwave waves flow". The ruins of "Jiuhua Xixiu" and "Bathroom" of Empress Dowager Cixi are still there.
