For the local people, it is the wellspring that has nurtured the life of Meinung. Likewise, 60 years ago the valley that it lies in upstream was a peaceful paradise for us light yellow butterflies called "Fabricius" (Catopsilia crocale, of the Pieridae class of butterflies).
對當地人而言，這條溪是孕育農業的生命之源；同時，它的上游溪谷，在六十年前，也曾經是我們淡黃蝶的安樂園。
