Introducing Shuangjing Yingyue

The ancient well in Xiaoqi Village was built in the late Tang Dynasty. Its walls were dug and its platform was meticulously designed. The well consists of two wells, one deep and one shallow. The shallow water in the small well is used for washing and buckets, while the deep water in the large well is used for drinking. The small well is used for washing, while the large well's water is clear, cool, and sweet. After thousands of years, it still nourishes over 600 villagers. The well's name derives from Li Bai's poem, "I raise my cup to the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three." On moonlit nights, each well reflects a "jade disk," hence the name "Double Wells Reflecting the Moon."
