Water Moon Rock Scenic Area was located in the southeast of Yulin City, Guangxi Province, about 11 kilometers away from Yulin City. The entire rock area was oval in shape, 5 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide, covering an area of 7 square kilometers. Including the surrounding protected areas, the total area was about 15 square kilometers. Water Moon Rock was a limestone karst terrain, with tall peaks and beautiful scenery. In the second year of Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty (1622), Cao Xuequan described the beautiful scenery of Shuiyue Rock in the Records of Famous Places in Guangxi. Xu Xiake also mentioned in Xu Xiake's Travels that Shuiyue Rock had "two caves","four wins","two streams" and "three caves". There were all kinds of stalactites in the Water Moon Rock, which made people marvel. In addition, there was a dark cave in the Water Moon Rock called "Hidden Past". The stone wall of the cave had the words "Water Moon Rock" carved in the Ming Dynasty. The Water Moon Rock was open from 8:00 to 17:00 every day, and the entrance was closed at 16:00. In general, the Water Moon Rock Scenic Area attracted the interest of tourists with its original ecological atmosphere and magnificent scenery.
The story of dripping water piercing a stone came from a fable in Chuang Tzu's Xiaoyao You. The story was about a snail who wanted to climb up the wall but could only climb a little at a time. His companions laughed at him, but he did not give up climbing every day. Finally, it climbed to the top of the wall.
This story tells us that perseverance and perseverance are very important qualities. Even in the face of difficulties and setbacks, we must maintain confidence and perseverance to keep moving forward in order to achieve our goals.

I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels named something like 'the fountain novel'. It could be about a fountain as a central symbol, perhaps related to stories around it, like secrets hidden near it or people's lives connected to the fountain.
I don't know who the author of 'the fountain novel' is as the name is quite general. There could be many novels with such a name written by different authors.
