Lu Yu's Literary Spring Well

　　Located on the north bank of Guanchi Pool in Luyu Village, Jìnglíng Town, Tianmen City. Also known as Luyu Well, it is commonly called the Three-Eye Well. Built during the Tang Dynasty, it was named after Lu Yu studied tea brewing under the hermit Scholar Zou here, and was later renovated in the Qing Dynasty. The well is covered with a hexagonal bluestone slab, featuring three circular holes each with a diameter of 35 centimeters, arranged in a “品” (character for "quality") formation, and reaching a depth of 2.5 meters. The well walls are built with bricks. In the 22nd year of the Qianlong reign (1782) of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Dawen, the military defense commissioner of Xiangyang and Yunyang, erected a stone stele beside the well. The stele is 1.8 meters high, 0.8 meters wide, and 0.18 meters thick. The front of the stele is inscribed with the three characters “文学泉” (“Literary Spring”), and the back is inscribed with the four characters “品茶真迹” (“True Traces of Tea Tasting”), both written in regular script.
