Shennongjia forest area was still a part of Wang Yang in ancient times. After the Yanshan and Himalayan movements, it gradually became a multi-level land, forming strata with distinctive local characteristics such as Shennongjia Group and Macaoyuan Group. Shennongjia is located on the eastern edge of the second step of China's topography. The remaining veins of Daba Mountain extend eastward, forming a middle-high mountain landform. The mountains in this area are very high and gradually decrease from southwest to northeast. The average elevation of Shennongjia1700m. Most of the peaks are above 1500m, including 6 peaks above 3000m and more than 20 peaks above 2500m. Shennongding, the highest peak, is 3105.4m above sea level, making it the first peak in Central China. Therefore, Shennongjia is known as the "Roof of Central China". Shizhu River in the southwest is only 398 meters above sea level, the lowest point in China, with a relative height difference of 2706.4 meters.
Shennongjia is located in the mid-latitude north subtropical monsoon region, controlled by atmospheric circulation, with cool and rainy temperature. With the increase of altitude, three climatic zones are formed: low mountain, middle mountain and subalpine mountain. The annual precipitation from low to high is 76 1.4 mm to 2500 mm, and the three-dimensional climate is very obvious. "Spring peak at the foot of the mountain in midsummer, ice peak at the foot of the mountain in autumn, red, orange, yellow and green are not enough, and it is the most difficult to distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter" is a true portrayal of the forest climate. Shennongjia, because of its unique geographical environment and three-dimensional microclimate, has become a transitional area of plant species in the north and south of China and a meeting area of many animals. It has the only well-preserved subtropical forest ecosystem in the mid-latitude inland area of the northern hemisphere. The forest coverage rate in China is 88%, and the protected area is 96%. There are many precious ancient relict plant such as Davidia involucrata, Liriodendron chinense and lotus fragrance. Shennongjia has become a green treasure in the same latitude area of the world, which is of global significance to the study of forest ecology.
Shennong has many magical geological wonders. In Honghua Township, there is a tidal river. The river rises three times a day, once in the morning, once at noon and once at night, each lasting for half an hour. At high tide, the color of water changes with the seasons. In dry season, the water color is turbid, and in rainy season, the water color is clear.
The spring waterfall at the source of Xiangxi in Shennongjia
There is a water cave in Luosong village. As long as the natural temperature outside the cave is above 28℃, the cave will start to freeze. The water in the mountain crevice seeps out along the cave wall, forming a glittering and translucent ice curtain, which extends downward 10 meters. Dripping water at the bottom of the cave forms icicles of various shapes, and the top is generally mushroom-shaped and hollow. In late autumn, the ice begins to melt, and in winter, the temperature in the cave will be higher than that outside.
Shennongjia, because of its unique geographical environment and three-dimensional microclimate, has become a transitional area of plant species in the north and south of China and a meeting area of many animals. There are more than 3,700 species of plants in Shennongjia (730 fungi, 0/90 lichens, 290 ferns, 30 gymnosperms, 2,430 angiosperms and 4,000 bryophytes), among which 40 are under state protection.

The mystery of Shennongjia savage
Shennongjia is fantastic, mysterious and charming because it may have a legendary animal-"savage" (called "snowman" or "Bigfoot"). Since 1950s, there have been reports of "savage" in Shennongjia from time to time.
1In May, 976, China Academy of Sciences organized an "exotic animal expedition team in northwest Hubei" to go deep into the original forest area of Shennongjia to explore the footprints of "savage". Collect the dry feces, hair and other things of "savage" and measure the footprints of "savage". After preliminary identification, "savage" is a kind of advanced primate close to human beings. In recent years, many explorers and tourists have witnessed the existence of "savage". But no living savage has been caught so far, so the savage in Shennongjia is still a mystery. From 1977 to 1980, the relevant departments organized two large-scale field trips, collected hundreds of savage hairs, found hundreds of savage footprints, a lot of feces, and found the bamboo house where the savage lived.
The survey results show that there are indeed unknown strange animals in Shennongjia. The long river of history is constantly flowing, and everything on earth is constantly changing. For more than 200 years, there have been many reports and legends about' savage'.
In the vast land of China, the legend of "Savage" has a history of thousands of years. There are many records and descriptions about "Savage" in China ancient books, and there are dozens of nicknames and aliases about "Savage", such as "Shan Gui", "Catman" and "Yi". Ray, baboon, etc. Of course, in numerous folklore and folklore, it is difficult for people to judge which are pure nonsense and which are well-founded facts.
China's record of' savage' probably dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to ancient records, in Zhou Chengwang, a baboon (one of the ancient names for "savage") was taken away by a native country in the southwest and presented to its king. The description of' savage' in ancient books is very similar to that of modern' savage'. The poet Qu Yuan once wrote a poem "Nine Songs of Shan Gui" with animals such as "Savages" as the theme: If someone loves a mountain, Xue Tuoxi uses it as a women's basketball team, which means to laugh when he is embarrassed, and his son should be gentle and graceful.
Qu Yuan's hometown is in Zigui County, south of Shennongjia, Hubei Province. Is it coincidence that Qu Yuan's "Shan Gui" and Shennongjia's "Savage"? Or is it a real record? There are also records of' savage' in Tang and Qing dynasties. Shenzhou culture has a long history. In different historical periods, there are different records and rumors about' savage'. In the west, there has been a description of' savage' since ancient Roman times.
Shennongjia "savage" Shennongjia is a primitive and mysterious place. The unique geographical environment and regional climate have created many natural mysteries of Shennongjia. "Savage", albino animals, rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and plants, strange caves and grottoes all cast a mysterious veil on Shennongjia.
The mystery of "savage" is one of the four unsolved mysteries in the world today. In today's world, many countries and regions have found traces of "savage", and people in different regions have different names for it. For example, North America and Siberia are called "Sasquatch" and "bigfoot" respectively.
Shennongjia wild man
Shennongjia is one of the places where "savage" is found and witnessed the most. According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of the last century, nearly 400 people here have seen nearly 100 "savages" living in different places to varying degrees. There may be a "savage" in Shennongjia for four reasons: First, it is recorded in historical books. Mountain and Sea Classic, Shan Gui by Qu Yuan, Compendium of Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty, and records of Fangxian County and Xingshan County around Shennongjia in Qing Dynasty all have records about "savage".
055-79000 records: "Nankang is called' Mountain Capital' by God. It looks like a human being, with long hair, black, red eyes and yellow hair, and nests in trees in the mountains. It describes the "savage"; Second, there are folklore. The folklore of "savage" has a long history, from ancient times to the present. There are many versions from the legend that Qin Shihuang repaired the Great Wall of Wan Li, and the escaped civilian worker hid in the deep mountains and became a "savage", to the legend that he used his arms and bamboo tubes to enter the deep mountains to stop the "savage" circulating around Shennongjia today. Third, scientific research has found something.
Where do humans come from? Is it a monkey, orangutan or ape? Why can't monkeys stand up and become people now? This topic has always been the concern of anthropologists and geneticists. China Field Investigation Association has organized many scientific expeditions to Shennongjia, and found a large number of footprints, hair and feces of "savage".
The identification results show that there is indeed a primate between apes and humans in Shennongjia. Fourth, there are a large number of witnesses and physical evidence. Many people in Shennongjia and its surrounding areas have seen "savage" at different times and places, especially the recent 1999-2003, 2005 and 2007. Witnesses include civil servants, students, tourists and farmers. Their descriptions of witnesses are basically similar: tall and burly, like people and monkeys, with reddish-brown or gray hair, accustomed to walking on two legs, agile and alert, and some even make various noises. It is strikingly similar to the historical records and descriptions of "savage" in many other parts of the world.
China Academy of Sciences began scientific investigation and research on humanoid animals in Shennongjia from 1977. In the past 30 years, it has also received hundreds of reports of people from all walks of life seeing "savage" and collected a lot of evidence about the activities of humanoid animals. However, in the past 30 years, there has been no direct contact with humanoid animals.
