Daying Shiji — 'Great Military Camp Century' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in China, its name combining a military heritage designation — a great military encampment — with the notion of a century-spanning tradition, suggesting a spring whose use stretches back through a hundred years or more of military, administrative, or community life. China's hot springs have frequently served military and imperial administrative functions throughout history, providing essential warm bathing facilities for garrisons, campaigns, and imperial progresses. The spring provides naturally sulphurous, warm mineral water in a setting charged with the martial and administrative heritage of Chinese history.
