无影山，顾名思义，因为坡度和缓，太阳底下看不出影子，被叫做无影山。山名首次出现在1928年《历城县乡土调查录》中，说无影山“在县西北八里黄家屯之西北”。大体就是现在无影山路一带。
Wuying Mountain, as the name suggests, has no shadow can be seen under the sun due to its gentle slope. The name first appeared in Local Record of Licheng County in 1928, which recorded that Wuying Mountain was located"in the northwest of Huangjiatun, four kilometers northwest of the county". It is approximately the area around Wuyingshan Road now.
相传无影山曾叫巨影山，山势高大，遮挡阳光、阻断道路，附近村民生活极为不便。一户崔姓人家带领子孙劈山开路，立志铲平巨山，造福乡里。二郎神被这家人的毅力感动，帮他们挑走了大山。济南版的“愚公移山”，把巨影山变成了无影山。
Legend has it that the mountain was once called Juying Mountain, which was so huge that it blocked the sunlight and roads, bringing great inconvenience to the lives of nearby villagers. A Cui family led their descendants to cut a way through the mountain, and determined to level it to benefit the village. Erlang God was moved by the family's perseverance and helped them carry away the mountain. The Jinan's version of"The Foolish Old Man Who Moved the Mountains" has turned Juying Mountain into Wuying Mountain.
另外，还有“金鸡岭”的叫法，传说在山上挖出过金鸡。真的假的不知道，但1969年，无影山北麓确实出土了一组彩绘乐舞杂技陶俑，填补了西汉时期杂技立体形象的实物空白。同时还出土了西汉彩绘陶负鼎鸠，或许是金鸡的来源。这些都是国宝级文物。
It is also called"Jinjiling" because of the legend that a Golden Rooster (Jinji) was dug up on the mountain. Whether the legend is true or not, a collection of painted pottery figurines of musicians, dancers and acrobats were indeed unearthed at the northern foot of Wuying Mountain in 1969, which filled the blank of the three-dimensional image of acrobatics in the Western Han Dynasty. At the same time, the Painted Pottery Turtledove Bearing with Pots of the Western Han Dynasty was also unearthed, which may be the origin of the Golden Rooster. These are all national treasures.
“山不在高，有仙则名。水不在深，有龙则灵。”无影山曾经盛产黑砂石，山中涌出泉水汇流成潭，人们称之为“无影潭”。潭中水质清澈，终年不涸，游鱼嬉戏、荷花盛开。潭底怪石嶙峋，暗影绰绰，似灵龟缓动、潜龙伏底。潭边芦苇丛生、青石砌岸，藤萝翠蔓、绿树如茵。是闹中取静、休闲娱乐的好去处。2004年，无影潭被列入“济南新七十二名泉”。（来源：济南天桥融媒）
"Renowned is a mountain not for its height but for the immortal who lives in it. Ensouled is a sea not for its depth but for the dragon that inhabits it." Wuying Mountain was once rich in black sandstone, with springs gushing out to form a pool called"Wuying Pool". The water in the pool is clear and never dries up all year round, with fish playing and lotus flowers blooming. The bottom of the pool are rugged and shadowy, like a tortoise moving slowly or a dragon lurking beneath. The pool is surrounded by reeds, bluestones, green vines and lush trees. It is a good place for enjoying the quietness and entertainment in the bustling city. In 2004, Wuying Pool was listed as one of the"New Seventy-two Famous Springs of Jinan".
