To the east of Mount Tai, there is the Sweet Spring. Its shape is like a well, but its substance is stone. Those who wish to fetch drinking water must purify their minds, kneel reverently, and ladle it; the spring will then emerge like a flowing stream, providing enough for their needs. If anyone behaves arrogantly, the spring contracts and recedes. This is indeed the constant disposition of the spirits.
