Dong Fangshuo, a writer in the Western Han Dynasty, believed that Mount Tai was the first of all mountains, swallowing West China, suppressing South Heng, and driving Middle Song and North Heng. The actual elevation of Mount Tai is not too high, second only to Mount Hengshan among the five mountains, and Huashan only takes the third place. It lags far behind the mountainous areas of this country. But why did it become "the length of the five mountains" and "the only clan of the five mountains"? This must start with the geographical environment and primitive religion of Mount Tai.
Mount Tai rises in the ancient Qilu Kingdom on the east side of North China Plain, bordering the vast sea in the east, the Yellow River with a long history in the west and the water of Wensihuai in the south. Looking at the geographical situation of the eastern coastal areas, Mount Tai occupies a high position and becomes the "pillar of the East" on the Yuan Ye in Wan Li. "China has Daiyue" means that Mount Tai is in the middle and the center of the world. The warm and fertile climate here has become the activity center of ancient human beings and the important birthplace of ancient culture. For thousands of years, it has been the political, economic and cultural center of the East. In early summer, it was divided into Kyushu, including Hebei, Henan, Qinghai, Yanzhou and Xu. During the Warring States period, there were six capitals here. Mount Tai has become the representative of oriental civilization and a great and solemn symbol. & lt "New Tang Book Han Yu Chuan Zan >"; : "The less you say, the more scholars are like Mount Tai and the Big Dipper Cloud." From then on, a great man or a person who is prestigious in some way has been compared to "Taishan Beidou".
According to Ren Fang's "Yi Shu Ji" in the Six Dynasties, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was said that after Pangu's death, his head was Dongyue, his abdomen was Zhongyue, his left arm was Nanyue, and his right arm was Beiyue, which was the foot of Xiyue. Pangu's corpse turned east and turned into Dongshan Mountain. Of course, Mount Tai became the first of the five mountains. This is obviously a fairy story based on the theory of five elements and five virtues, which reflects the historical background of Mount Tai's exclusive respect for five mountains.
The east is the place where the sun rises. The ancients thought it was the place where everything alternated and early spring happened. According to the "five elements", the east belongs to the wood, the "five permanent members" are regarded as benevolence, and the "four seasons" are regarded as spring. In the < < Zhouyi > > gossip is an earthquake, and the black dragon is in the "twenty-eight stars". : This word "East" is a cognitive word. This word comes from wood, and the sun is in it. The word "wood" is shared with the word "mulberry" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, so it is said that the sunrise will help the mulberry. "Benevolence" is a great virtue of heaven and earth, "spring" is the rebirth of all things, and "earthquake" and "black dragon" are the soaring places where emperors were born. As a result, Mount Tai has become the auspicious mountain, the home of the gods, the source of purple gas, and the place of everything. Even the grass, trees and stones can shine. The proverb "Mount Tai eats Ganoderma lucidum, rejuvenates the young" has been circulated in Qilu. When the pre-Qin emperor sealed Mount Tai, he was afraid of hurting the stone and offending the gods, so he wrapped the driving wheel up the mountain with a pu. Since ancient times, there are still some absurd customs. After climbing Mount Tai to Daiding, many peasant women put stones on the branches, deliberately suppressing the "soul" of their children and grandchildren in the name of "pressing the child", so that they can live forever. Some chisel pebbles and take them home, pound them into powder, and use them as medicine primers to suppress evil spirits and turn diseases into diseases. When Cao Weizhi was depressed because he was jealous of his younger brother Xelloss, he once pinned his spirit on the gods of Mount Tai. Therefore, "Flying Dragon" "morning tour of Mount Tai, misty and graceful, suddenly met two children, the color is fresh and good. Ride on a white deer and hold the grass in your hand. I know real people, the dragon knelt down and asked. Ding Deng Yu Jin Tang Lou auxiliary road Give me an elixir made by the Jade Emperor. Teach me to feed my brain. Life is like a stone, but it is hard to grow old forever.
In the old days, monuments were often erected at the urban and rural street corners around Mount Tai, at the crossroads at the village head or on the walls of houses, with square bricks embedded and "Mount Tai Shi Gandang" carved to ward off evil spirits. According to Mo Zhuang Man Lu, this custom has existed since the Tang Dynasty. Dare is invincible. It is said that Shi Gandang is a warrior on Mount Tai. At the foot of the mountain, Zhang's wife's daughter was entangled in a devil and became seriously ill. There is a notice posted outside, who wants to cure my daughter's illness will be betrothed to whom. Seeing that it was getting dark, Shi Gandang unveiled the notice: Let the Zhang family prepare a gong, a basin of sesame oil and a cauldron. Then he twisted ten thick lamps with cotton, put them in an oil basin, lit them, buckled them on the cauldron, and picked the edge of the cauldron with his feet. Shortly after dark, the demon wind blew from the southeast. Shi Gandang immediately knocked over the pot and rang the gong. As soon as the demon saw the lights and heard the gong, he ran away. From then on, the devil never came again. The girl got well, but the devil went elsewhere to do evil. Shi Gandang is invited to catch demons every day. Later, the demon fled when he heard his name, so people carved the town demon "Taishan Shi Gandang" on the stones or bricks of Mount Tai. It is conceivable that a small stone tablet has such power, towering Mount Tai. Therefore, it is called "the first famous mountain in the world".
Huashan Mountain in Xiyue-Huashan Mountain in Du Xian, located in Huayin County, is the Xiyue Mountain among the five mountains. The danger of Huashan ranks first among the five mountains, and there is a saying that Huashan has been the Tao since ancient times.
It is 2200 meters above sea level. It is named after the Yellow River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south. Because it faces Shaohua Mountain in the west, it is also called Taihua Mountain. Huashan Mountain has been a road since ancient times, from north to south, running through Beifeng, Zhongfeng, Dongfeng, Nanfeng and Xifeng for about 20 kilometers. All the way to thousands of feet Tower, Bai Chi Gorge, Laojunli, Shangtian Ladder, Heilongling and other dangerous roads, you can appreciate the risks of Huashan Mountain. In addition, there are dangerous scenes such as aerial plank roads and kites turning over on the mountain, which are unheard of by most people. If you visit its territory in person, its strange peaks and rocks, dangerous paths and fantastic craftsmanship will definitely amaze tourists. There are also many ancient buildings on the mountain. Whenever the clouds are around, temples and pavilions are dotted with peaks and valleys, making tourists feel like they are in a fairyland.
Huashan has five peaks: East, West, South, North and Middle.
Dongfeng is one of the wonders of Huashan Mountain. It is also called Chaoyang Peak, because there is a platform on the top of the mountain where you can watch the sunrise and beautiful scenery.
North Peak, also known as Yuntai Mountain, is towering and steep on three sides, and there is only one mountain road leading to Nanshan. The movie "Huashan Going Outward" is based on this west peak called Lotus Peak, on which there is an "axe chopping stones". It is said that the fairy tale "Lotus Lantern" in which the agarwood splits the mountain to save the mother happened here.
The south peak of Yanfeng is the main peak of Huashan Mountain, with an altitude of 2083 meters, and it is also the most dangerous peak in Huashan Mountain. On the summit, pines, cypresses and trees are lush, and a long plank road flies in the air to the east of the summit.
Zhongfeng, also known as Yunv Mountain, is attached to the west wall of Dongfeng, which is the throat leading to the east, west and south peaks.
