The Han Horse Subduing Bo Well

There is a miraculous well in Hainan, where the water is cool in summer and warm in winter. Guo Moruo personally investigated it and praised it highly, and it is known as the "Han Horse Subduing Bo Well". This well not only has a history of a thousand years but also carries a legendary story. It is said that the well was originally square and later expanded into a round shape, built with bricks. Near the well, there used to be a Subduing Bo Temple, but it has been destroyed. A stone tablet is embedded in the wall, inscribed with "The Well of Han Horse Subduing Bo", dated "Qianlong Xinsi". In 1961, Guo Moruo inspected this well in Hainan and confirmed that it was indeed built by General Ma Yuan of the Han Dynasty during his passage through Hainan, which dates back more than 1950 years. After tasting the well water, he praised it endlessly and composed a poem in its honor. In this poem, Guo Moruo not only praises the clear and sweet well water but also expresses his admiration for General Ma Yuan. Moreover, this well has another magical feature: the water is cool in summer and warm in winter. Hundreds of families in the village rely on this well for their livelihood, and even in times of drought, the well never dries up. If you have the chance to visit Hainan, be sure to taste the water of this "Number One Spring in Southern Heaven" and experience its magical charm!
