The school that carries the district's founding legend.
Longquan Elementary School was founded in 1920 under Japanese colonial rule as "Longmujing Public School" — literally "Dragon-Eye Well Public School." The name is a direct namesake of the local legend of a "dragon-eye well" from which Longjing District itself is said to take its name, making Longquan's original name one of the most direct living links to the district's own identity.
龍泉國小創校於1920年（日治時期），原名「龍目井公學校」——字面意義即「龍之眼井公學校」。此校名直接源自「龍目井」的地方傳說，而龍井區之名據傳即由此而來，使龍泉國小的原始校名成為連結地區自身身分認同最直接的活歷史見證之一。

The dragon-eye well legend.
Longjing District is said to take its name from a local legend of a "dragon-eye well" (龍目井), and Longquan Elementary's original name preserves that story most directly among all the district's "dragon"-named schools. See the Taichung county page for more on the region.
