How did the name of the seventy-two peaks in Nanyue come from? According to ancient and modern exploration and analysis, it is roughly as follows:
First of all, they are named after historical sites-Zhurongfeng and Chi Di Peak to commemorate Zhu Rong Stone, a "fire official" who ruled the country by virtue. Lei Zufeng is because the tomb of Lei Zu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, is here. Baima and Jin Jianfeng came here because of Dayu's flood control. They once killed Baima and worshipped heaven and earth, asking for books made of gold.
Second, it is named after the legend-the legend of Qin Lingfeng is where Tang Xueyin lived. One day, suddenly a flock of birds flew over the sky, with red and green feathers, singing beautifully like a piano, and finally perched on the peak, hence the name. Manjusri Peak is a legend that Prince Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty longed for Taoism. When he arrived at Hengshan Mountain, he saw a monk in the colorful sunshine on the summit. He thought it was manjusri, hence the name. The legend of Huiri Peak was named after the first emperor of the Chen Dynasty gave a monk and Taoist the name Huiri. Cai Xiafeng was named after a hermit who didn't eat grains in Hengshan Mountain, Qi State.
Third, it is named after the terrain-Tianzhu Peak looks like Tianzhu to support the blue sky. Furong peak is like a beautiful hibiscus. Stone peaks are shaped like reservoirs. Lotus peak is shaped like a lotus. The incense burner peak and bowl-throwing peak look like incense burners and steaming bowls. Gao Feng looks like an old man.
Fourthly, it is famous for its scenery-Biyun Peak looks like a blue cloud because it often rises on it. Spitting fog peak because it often has wisps of fog rising from the valley, like spitting fog. Feng Xiaoxia is surrounded by Xia Hong in the early morning.
Fifthly, Zhu Mingfeng and Bai Yunfeng were named after place names, which originated from Zhu Mingdong and Baiyun Cave. Driving the crane peak is because there is a legend that Yin Zhenren drives the crane to become immortal, so he takes the name of driving the crane.
Sixth, named after the region-the Western Peak is because it greeted the sun at the earliest under the sun of Zhurong Peak. Yuelu Peak is because it is at the foot of Nanyue Mountain. Yan Hui Peak is because the wild geese in the north flew south, and no longer flew south.
Seventh, it is famous for its products-Baishifeng is famous for its white stones. Ganoderma lucidum peak (that is, Zigai peak) produces Ganoderma lucidum. Zifeng has a purple azalea, which looks like a girl's headscarf from a distance.
Eight is named after homophonic-Lion Peak looks like a persimmon, and the villagers call it persimmon peak, hence the name Lion Peak. Purple Yunfeng is like a pier, and the mountain clouds no longer travel eastward, so it is named Yunfeng instead of Ziyun Peak. Gouloufeng is commonly known as Goutou Peak.
A brief description of the mountain peak.
In the poem "Looking at Yue", Du Fu wrote at the beginning, "Nanyue is matched with Zhu Bird, and the rank ceremony is subordinate to a hundred kings. Zhu Rong has five peaks with low peaks. " . It vividly shows the mountain country of Nanyue, just like "Zhu birds spread their wings".
Seen from the bank of Xiangjiang River in Hengshan County, Zhurong Peak, which stands in the south sky, looks like a bird pecking its head. The mountain peaks in the east, such as Tuwu, Zhongzi, Baima, Cai Xia, Sunset Red and Phoenix, are shaped like horse crowns. With Zhu Rongfeng as the axial peak, the sixteen peaks such as the hibiscus in front are close to each other, just like the strong body of the Zhu bird; The thirteen peaks behind are like Qingling Mountain, like a long bird's tail; From Shiyan in the south to Hengyang, there are 20 peaks, from Zigui in the north to Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, just like Zhu birds spreading their wings for hundreds of miles. In the Qing Dynasty, Wei Yuan wrote "Only Nanyue flies alone", and the word "flying" brought the seventy-two peaks to life, and vividly compared Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue to a big bird spreading its wings and flying. The bird's head is Zhurong Peak, and the sixteen peaks such as Furong in the south are close to each other like a huge bird, while the twenty-two peaks from Ziguai Peak to Yuelu Mountain in the north are like a colorful Ji opened by a big bird. Looking from a distance, it is still like Dapeng spreading its wings and flying, showing its majestic momentum. The mountains are rainy and often foggy. Seen from the distance of Xiangjiang River, it really looks like a big bird flying in the clouds. Its majestic posture and style are truly famous mountains and southern mountainous areas.

Hengshan not only has a macro heroic posture, but also shows the beauty of China and the softness of China. Granite mountain joints are sparse and vertical joints are not well developed, so the weathering of Hengshan granite is mostly horizontal layered denudation, forming a circular peak, covered with a thick weathered layer. The peaks are soft and plump in outline, and the rounded stone scenes are stacked like clouds. Located in the south of subtropical zone, it has abundant rainfall, mild climate and deep soil layer on the mountain, which is conducive to plant growth. Hengshan Mountain has a high vegetation coverage and many kinds of plants, ranking among the best in the five mountains, with obvious seasonal characteristics and picturesque scenery in each season. The mountain is filled with smoke all year round, and there are streams and pools everywhere, giving Nanyue Fairy Mountain a halo. There are only twenty-four spring eyes and flying spring streams, which add interest to the water features of Hengshan Mountain. Such as the "water curtain cave" under the Zigai Peak, covering the valley and facing the precipice. The mountain spring in the valley pours down from the mouth of the valley, forming a waterfall and pouring into the stone pool. The pool water overflows and pours down, becoming a water curtain. The curtain is divided into two sections because of the stone, flowing in the stone gap, jumping jade and spraying beads, and the snow splashing thunder.
Nanyue Mountain is divided into three distinctive landscape areas from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, namely, the foothill landscape area centered on Nanyue Temple, the valley landscape area centered on Mojingtai and the Ding Yue landscape area above Nantianmen.
