First, emphasize and highlight the shocking beauty of Baotu Spring with exaggerated methods. As the "No.1 Spring in the World" and one of the symbols and representatives of Jinan, Baotu Spring's momentum, beauty, uniqueness and historical, cultural and social significance have fascinated Guanquan, and naturally there will be a saying that "without it, the scenery of Jinan will be greatly reduced" or even "without Baotu Spring, I will never come to Jinan again". From this perspective, this sentence refers to \.
Jinan is famous for its "lotus flowers on four sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and a half city with lakes". Spring is an important part of setting off lotus flowers, willows, mountains and rivers, and lakes. It is the water source of lakes (Daming Lake), the foundation of the life of Quancheng, and it is also contained in the scenery of Jinan praised by this famous association. If there is no spring, there will be no more lakes and mountains and no more graceful lotus flowers and weeping willows. Baotu Spring, as the representative of 72 Springs, carries such a mission. If spring no longer exists, I am afraid that Jinan will not only lose half of its beauty, but also become an ordinary and nameless northern city. In this sense, the meaning of this sentence is profound.
Thirdly, if you combine another sentence in Mr. Lao She's article, "Standing in a daze for three minutes will naturally make you feel so great that you dare not take a look again", it may be more profound and easier to understand this artistic conception.
4. Spring is the soul of Jinan, and Baotu Spring is the first of 72 springs. If there is no Baotu Spring, what else is there in Jinan?
I hope the beauty of Jinan will stay with us forever, not just in memory.
