Huashan Mountain is one of the famous Five Mountains in my country, with an altitude of 2154.9 meters. It is located in Huayin City, Weinan City, a historical and cultural place 120 kilometers east of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. It is bordered by the broad Weihe Plain and the roaring Yellow River to the north. Adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the south, it is a granite mountain on the north side of the watershed ridge of the branch of the Qinling Mountains. With the ever-changing costumes of nature, Huashan Mountain’s various features are vividly outlined. It is the origin of the name of the national scenic spot
There are many theories about the origin of the name of Huashan Mountain. Generally speaking, the peaks of Huashan Mountain are the same as those of Huashan Mountain. Lotuses are inseparable. In ancient times, "hua" and "hua" were used interchangeably. As the "Shui Jing Zhu" said: "Looking from a distance, it looks like a flower", hence the name. She faces Tongguan in the east, Chang'an in the west, and Chang'an in the south. It is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains and Huangwei Mountain in the north. It was called Taihua Mountain in ancient times, also known as Huashan Mountain in Xiyue. The main peak is shaped like a gold ingot, and the surrounding hills look like lotuses from a distance. In front of the Cuiyun Palace on the west peak, there is an inverted lotus petal stone, which is called "Huashan". Because it is close to the Yellow River, it is the birthplace of China, and the people's accents, etc. Because of this, it is called "Huashan". The whole mountain is a granite block, with the highest peak at an altitude of 2154.9 meters. The steep peaks and cliffs overlook the Weihe River Plain, and it has been a tourist attraction since ancient times. Rock joints are concentrated to form gullies. Huge rock blocks accumulate in the gullies. The famous "Fish Rock" was formed by the debris flow that occurred during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1662-1722). The large fault on the northern slope of Huashan is still active recently, and the Huaxian earthquake occurred in 1556. Reaching Rui's Level 8
Edit the overview of the main peak in this section
The scenery of Huashan on the East Peak
With an altitude of 2096.2 meters, it is one of the main peaks of Huashan and is located in the east. It got its name. There is a platform on the top of the peak, which is high up and has a wide view. It is a famous place for watching the sunrise. It is called Chaoyang Peak. Therefore, Dongfeng is also called Chaoyang Peak. It consists of one master, three servants and four peaks. The top of the mountain is composed of three peaks. The peak where Chaorang is located is the highest, Yunv Peak is in the west, Shilou Peak is in the east, and Botai is in the south. The guests and hosts are in order, each with its own merit. The ancients called the three peaks of Huashan Mountain, which refers to the three peaks in the east, west and south, while Yunv Peak is in the south. It is an integral part of Dongfeng. Today, Yunu Peak is called Zhongfeng, which makes it stand alone as the main peak of Huashan Mountain. In ancient times, it was said that the road to climb Dongfeng was difficult and dangerous. The "Sancai Tuhui" records that the hills are like cut outs. One side of the slope is dozens of feet high. There are only a few foot holes carved on it, and there are no branches or vines to climb on either side. People who climb the peak can only reach the top by climbing on the rocks and using their hands and feet. Nowadays, several climbing routes have been opened and widened. Visitors can reach it safely through the steps. The top of the East Peak is covered with giant junipers and pine trees, and the sun is blocked. The environment is very quiet. Visitors can walk through the pine forest, surrounded by green shades like umbrellas and pine waves. It feels like chanting, and I suddenly feel refreshed and transcendent. Wang Lu, a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, talked about his experience in "Dongfeng Ji": The tall juniper pines shade the peak, the stone path under the trees is refreshing and quiet, and the wind blows through the forest, and the pine waves are blowing. The surge adds a musical charm, and its rhythm rises and falls, like blowing silk bamboo and striking gold and stone. How wonderful! There are more than dozens of landscapes on the East Peak. There are natural stone patterns on the cliffs on the side of the East Stone Tower. Like a giant palm print, this is the Huayue Celestial Palm, which is listed as the first of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong. The story of the giant spirit god opening mountains and guiding rivers originated from this; there is Yanggong Pagoda in the north of the Chaoyang balcony, facing the Yanggong Pagoda on the west peak in the distance. Built by General Yang Hucheng, the tower has the four characters "Wanxiang Senluo" written by General Yang Hucheng himself. In addition, there are Qinglong Pond, Ganlu Pond, Sanji Cave, Qingxu Cave, Bajing Palace, Tai Chi Dongyuan Gate, etc. on the east peak. Unfortunately, some landscapes were abandoned due to age or natural and man-made disasters, and only ruins remain. After the 1980s, part of the Dongfeng landscape was gradually restored. The dangerous paths were renovated and reinforced, and the pavilions were rebuilt. On the site of the Bajing Palace, which was destroyed by fire in 1953, a two-story wooden and stone pavilion has been re-erected as the Dongfeng Hotel. Nanfeng Nanfeng is 2154.9 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak of Huashan Mountain and the highest peak of the Five Mountains. The ancients respectfully called it the "Head of Huashan Mountain". When you reach the top of the South Peak, you feel that the sky is so close and you can pick the stars. Looking around, you can see the undulating mountains, the vast expanse, the Yellow River and the Wei River, and the desert plains like silk and cotton. The panoramic view allows people to truly appreciate the majestic and majestic Huashan Mountains, and enjoy it as if they are in the heaven, as if they are walking on floating clouds. of magical interest. On the south side of the peak is a thousand-foot cliff, upright as if cut, with a fault and deep ravine below, which is isolated from Sangong Mountain and Sanfeng Mountain. Nanfeng is composed of one peak and two tops, one on the east side is called Songhui Peak and one on the west side is called Luoyan Peak. It is also said that Nanfeng is composed of three tops, including Xiaozi Peak to the west of Luoyan Peak.
In this way, Luoyan Peak is the highest in the middle, Songhui Peak is in the east, and Xiaozi Peak is in the west. The overall image is an armchair, and the three peaks are like a giant sitting facing north. Yuan Hongdao, a man from the Ming Dynasty, described the image of Nanfeng in his book "Huashan Ji": "It's like a person sitting in danger with his knees drawn up." Wild geese often land here to rest. The highest point of the peak is the top of Huashan Mountain, and climbers are proud to be able to climb to the top. Literati of the past dynasties often expressed their passion and wrote poems here, so they left many poems and records to later generations. The inscriptions on the cliffs at the top of the peak are even more dazzling and can be seen everywhere. Feng Zhi recorded in his "Yunxian Miscellaneous Notes" that Tang poet Li Bai climbed to the south peak and sighed: "This mountain is the highest, and the breath I breathe is like reaching the throne of the Emperor of Heaven. I wish I could bring up Xie Tiao's amazing sentence to ask the blue sky." Kou Zhun, a famous prime minister in the Song Dynasty, wrote a popular poem: "Only the sky is above, and there are no mountains to align with it. The sun is approaching when you raise your head, and the white clouds are low when you lower your head." There are many landscapes around Luoyan Peak, including Yangtian Lake and Black Dragon Pond at the highest point, and Anyu's shrine on the southwest cliff. Songhui Peak is slightly lower than Luoyan Peak, but the area is larger than Luoyan Peak. The tall pines and giant cypress trees on the top of the peak block out the sun, so it is called Pine and cypress Peak. Wang Hong, a famous scholar in Huayin, wrote that Song Huifeng is the master of the south peak. There is the Baidi Temple, also known as Jintian Palace, built on the peak, which is the main temple of Jintian Shaohao, the god of Huashan Mountain. Because the roof of the main hall in the temple is covered with iron tiles, it is also called the Iron Tile Hall. There are many landscapes around Songhui Peak, including Bagua Pond, Nantianmen, Chaoyuan Cave, Changkong Plank Road, Quanzhen Rock, Bizhao Rock, Eagle Wing Stone, Yanggong Pavilion, etc. There are many poems and essays written about the south peak of Mount Huashan in the past dynasties. Wang Lu, a painter in the Ming Dynasty, wrote the poem "The Top of the South Peak": "I heard and asked about the blue sky, I once left Li and banished him to immortality." Immediately return to the greedy and quiet guest, fly to the highest peak. The anger is exhaled outside Hongmeng, and the spirit surpasses Tai Chi. How can Mao Long borrow it until he reaches the edge of Wucheng? South Peak, also known as Luoyan Peak, is the highest peak in Huashan Mountain, with an altitude of 2160 meters. Coming here is like visiting a fairyland. As the ancient poem goes, "Only the sky is above, and there are no mountains to align with it. When you look up, the red sun is approaching, and when you look down, the white clouds are low." Here is surrounded by pine forests, mixed with junipers and cypresses, meandering for several miles and densely shaded. What we see now
The Long Sky Plank Road (3 photos) is the most dangerous point, which is the fourth dangerous level "Long Sky Plank Fatigue". The long sky plank road hangs half in the air and faces the abyss. It is one of the most dangerous places in Huashan Mountain. No one dares to travel without extraordinary courage and firm will. There is "Tai Shang Spring" on the top of the peak. The water is green and clear all year round. It is commonly known as "Yangtian Pool". There are many carvings on the cliffs of the pool, mostly written by poets from the Ming, Qing and modern times. The "Huashan Sword Discussing" described in the martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" probably also took place at Nanfeng. There is Jintian Palace built on it, which is dedicated to Baidi. Baidi is Shaowu, named Jintianshi, and is the god who specializes in the west. There is also Yang Gong Pavilion on the mountain, which was built by General Yang Hucheng in 1931. The West Peak is 2082.6 meters above sea level and is one of the main peaks of Huashan Mountain. It is named because of its location in the west. And because there is a huge stone on the top of the peak that looks like lotus petals, ancient literati often called it Lotus Peak or Furong Peak. Yuan Hongdao recorded in his "Huashan Yong": "The stone leaves are overlaid and cracked horizontally"; Xu Xiake also recorded in his "Diary of a Tour to Taihua Mountain": "The rocks on the peak rise, and there are stone flakes covering them, like lotus flowers. "There is a sentence in Li Bai's poem "The stone makes the lotus and the clouds make the platform", which should also refer to this stone. Xifeng Xifeng, with an altitude of 2082 meters, is one of the main peaks of Huashan Mountain. It is named because of its location in the west. And because there is a huge stone on the top of the peak that looks like lotus petals, ancient literati often called it Lotus Peak or Furong Peak. Yuan Hongdao recorded in his "Huashan Yong": "The stone leaves are overlaid and cracked horizontally"; Xu Xiake also recorded in his "Diary of a Tour to Taihua Mountain": "The rocks on the peak rise, and there are stone flakes covering them, like lotus flowers. "There is a sentence in Li Bai's poem "The stone makes the lotus and the clouds make the platform", which should also refer to this stone. The west peak is a complete boulder, completely made by nature. The cliffs in the northwest are thousands of feet long, like a saw cut with a knife. Its steep, majestic, masculine and straight shape is the representative of the mountain shape of Huashan Mountain. Therefore, the ancients often called Huashan Mountain Lotus Mountain.
Huashan Mountain Landscape (2) (13 photos) There is a ridge on the south cliff of the West Peak connected to the South Peak. The ridge is more than 300 meters long. The stone color is gray and the shape is like a shrinking dragon. People call it Quling. Also known as Xiaocanglong Ridge, it is one of the famous dangerous roads in Huashan Mountain. There are many landscapes on the west peak, such as Cuiyun Palace, Lotus Cave, Giant Spirit Feet, Ax Split Stone, Sacrifice Cliff, etc., accompanied by many beautiful myths and legends, among which the story of Agarwood splitting the mountain to save her mother is the most widely circulated. The cliffs on the peak are covered with inscriptions, cursive and seal scripts, and they are a dazzling array of things. The peak in the north is called West Stone Tower Peak. The Yanggong Pagoda on the peak was built by General Yang Hucheng. There is an inscription written by General Yang Hucheng on the tower. There is an inscription on the rock under the tower, "Pillow breaks the Hongmeng", which is the handwriting of the calligrapher Wang Duo.
Especially the Lotus Cave, also called Lotus Stone or Taiyi Lotus Terrace, this stone is like lotus petals covering the stone, and the pine tree on the top looks like the lotus pod before the weather station chopped off half of it, which is very interesting. One of the wonders of Xifeng! North Peak North Peak is 1614.9 meters above sea level. It is one of the main peaks of Huashan Mountain and the West Peak of Huashan Mountain. It is named because of its location in the north. The North Peak is suspended on all sides, with a crown of scenic clouds on top and a ground connection below. It is majestic and unique, like a cloud platform, so it is also called Yuntai Peak. Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty once wrote in the poem "Song of Yuntai in Xiyue as a Farewell to Dan Qiuzi": "The three peaks stand as if they are about to be destroyed, and the green cliffs of Dan Valley are as high as palms. The white emperor's gold essence transports vitality, and the stone is like a lotus and the clouds are like a platform." The peak is north of the mountain. Baiyun Peak, close to Liangzhang Mountain in the east, connects to the three peaks in the east, west and south, and connects to the dangerous road of Gouzhuangxia at the bottom. The top of the peak is spliced ??by several groups of huge rocks, which is completely natural. There is a platform at the top of the mountain. The original Yiyun Pavilion was built and its ruins are now left. It is a good place to look south at the three peaks of Huashan Mountain. The trees on the waist of the peak are lush and graceful, making it an ideal resting place on the way to the top of Mount Huashan. The mountaineering cable car opened in 1996 reaches the station on the east wall of the peak. There are many landscapes on the peak, including the influential ones such as Zhenwu Hall, Jiao Gong Stone Chamber, Changchun Stone Chamber, Jade Girl Window, Xianyou Gong, Shentu Cliff, Yiyun Pavilion, Laojun Hanging Plow Place, Tienniu Terrace, Baiyun Wonderland Stone Archway, etc. , and each scenic spot is accompanied by beautiful myths and legends. The Changchun Stone Chamber was the secluded place where Taoist priest Du Beiqian lived during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that Du Beiqian practiced hard to cut off grains and grains, and he liked to play the flute. He often asked his apprentices to buy back many bamboo flutes. After playing a piece, he would throw the flutes under the cliff. . Because he could live in a cliff cave for months and months, he called himself Mr. Changchun. Zhenwu Hall was built to worship Emperor Zhenwu, the god of the north who guarded Kyushu. Jiao Gong Stone Chamber, Xian You Gong and Shen Tu Cliff are all named after the legend of Jiao Dao Guang. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Taoist priest Jiao Kuang, also known as Dao Guang, lived alone on Yuntai Peak, eating clouds of clouds and drinking dew, avoiding valleys without grains, and looking at Huashan Mountain 180 degrees beside him
There were always three blue birds reporting to him the future. . Emperor Wu Yuwenyong heard about his name, so he went to the mountain court to inquire about it in person, and ordered a palace to be built in front of Jiao Gong's stone chamber for him to live in. When the palace was being built, there was no soil on the peak and there was no lamp oil. Jiao Daoguang prayed silently, and there was an endless stream of soil pouring out from under the cliff. The oil in the oil tank is also filled overnight and is inexhaustible. Later, people called the place where the soil poured out Shentu Cliff, and the place where the oil tank was placed was called Xianyougong. Huashan, Xiyue
On the eve of the liberation of Huayin in 1949, Han Zipei, commissioner of the Eighth Administrative Inspection District of Shaanxi Province and commander of the Sixth Shaanxi Security Brigade of the Kuomintang, led more than a hundred of his remnants to escape to Huashan, trying to make the final struggle by relying on the natural dangers and stubborn resistance. . With the help of the people in Huayin, the Chinese People's Liberation Army broke the legend that "Huashan Mountain has been a single road since ancient times", climbed up from Huangfu Valley to the North Peak, attacked the remaining bandits by surprise, and created a miracle of magic soldiers leaping over the natural chasm and heroes outsmarting Huashan Mountain. A hundred meters in front of the present Zhenwu Hall is a Huashan granite round stone pavilion with hexagonal roofs, cornices and brackets. In the middle of the pavilion is a monument to the liberation of Huashan. Since then, Beifeng has become a site and classroom for providing patriotism education and revolutionary tradition education to young people. Middle Peak: The Middle Peak is 2037.8 meters tall. It is located in the center of the East, West and South Peaks. It is a small peak attached to the west side of the East Peak. In ancient times, it was counted as part of the East Peak. Today, it is listed as one of the main peaks of Huashan Mountain. The trees on the peak are verdant, the environment is quiet, and there are many unknown flowers and plants. Visitors walking through it are filled with fragrance. There is a Taoist temple named Jade Girl Temple at the top of the peak. Legend has it that it was the place where Duke Mu of Qin used jade to cultivate herself during the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, the peak is also called Jade Girl Peak. According to historical records, Duke Mu of the Qin Dynasty had an extraordinary beauty and was proficient in music. One night, she and the Huashan hermit Xiao Shi sang in harmony with each other in a dream. Most of the landscapes at Zhongfeng are related to the story of Xiao Shi Nongyu. Such as the Star Jade Girl Cliff, Jade Girl Cave, Jade Girl Stone Horse, Jade Girl Washing Plate, etc. The Jade Girl Temple was built on the top of the mountain. Legend has it that Duke Mu of Qin came to Huashan after searching for his daughter, but found nothing. He was so desperate that he had to build a temple to commemorate her. The temple originally contained a stone statue of the Jade Girl, a dragon bed, a phoenix crown, a harem and other objects, but they were all destroyed by natural and man-made disasters. This temple was rebuilt by future generations, and the statue of Jade Girl was remodeled in 1983. Its appearance is dignified, beautiful, simple and rigorous. There are also landscapes such as stone tortoises, rootless trees, and sacrificial trees on the peak. The rumors related to them are full of interesting stories, which enrich the connotation of Zhongfeng from different angles and add to the magic and beauty of Zhongfeng. The ancients wrote many poems about Jade Girl and Jade Girl Peak. In his poem "Looking at the Mountains", Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty has the sentence "The nine-sectioned staff of the immortal is used to reach the jade girl washing her hair"; Wang Han of the Tang Dynasty has the poem "The star and the jade girl are sent to the altar of the honest policeman Huayin"; Gu Xianzheng of the Ming Dynasty "Deng Deng" In the poem "Huashan", there are lines such as "The golden god and the Dharma image are in three thousand realms, and the jade girl is brightly makeup on the twelfth floor" and so on.
These poems and essays are the icing on the cake for Zhongfeng and are rare and valuable information for studying Zhongfeng.
Edit this section of famous dangerous roads
The Sky Plank Road
Outside Nantianmen is the "Changkong Plank Road", the first of the famous dangerous roads in Huashan. The plank road is divided into three sections, from Nantianmen Shifang to the west of Chaoyuan Cave. The road is carved out of the cliff. It is 20 meters long and about two feet wide. On the suspended ladder, visitors must pull ropes to go down step by step, which is called "chicken under the frame". It is the middle section; the lower section turns west. The road builders dug stone holes in the cliff, wedged in stone piles, and set up wooden rafters between the stone piles. Three, visitors come here, face the wall and lean against the belly, and move horizontally with their feet on the wooden rafters. This road was excavated at the waist of the south peak. There are cliffs above and below. Iron cables hang horizontally. The road is made up of strips of stone and fixed by stone pillars. Because the plank road is steep, the locals say, "Be careful and look for corpses in Shangzhou, Luonan." This is just a way to explore, not the only way to climb mountains. Timid tourists can just wait and see. If you are not sure of your physical strength and courage, don't take risks easily. Therefore, there are many warning words on the stone carvings, such as "stop from the cliff" and so on. More than ten meters along the long sky plank road, there is a large stone cave called "Chaoyuan Cave" with a statue in the cave. Go straight down from the entrance of the cave along the plank road and turn west to find the "nine-section rafters", which are six to seven feet long and less than one foot wide. They are made of nine-section wooden rafters. Because the mountains are high and the air is cool and the climate is changeable, even if the rafters have been replaced for a short time, they will look like rotten wood, so it is called "Zhenzhi rafters". The view here is very dense and the climb is very dangerous. Across the rafters, there is a stone village, three or four feet high and about a foot thick, named "centering pile". Past the pile is a stone cave named "Hezu Cave". Halfway up the mountain to the southwest of the cave, there is an overturned cliff with three characters "Quanzhen Cliff" engraved on it. Each character is three meters square. The characters are simple and strong, and the carving is exquisite. This cliff does not touch the sky or the ground. It hangs in the air. Who and how could they carve such big characters on the cliff? There was a saying among the ancients that "who can chisel without being a god", which makes people believe it but also unbelievable. Nowadays, tourists often associate Huashan Mountain with things in Jin Yong's novels. Therefore, the "Hezu Cave" on the cliff is considered to be the secluded place of the Huashan Sword Sect. Of course, this is just a joke caused by tourists' love for Huashan and Jin Yong's novels.
Canglong Ridge
Climb to the north peak of Huashan Mountain, then turn south, pass by Caer Cliff, and go up the ladder to heaven, and you will see a long ridge in front of you. It is vast and green, reaching straight into the sky, like a blue dragon flying into the sky, so it is called "Canglong Ridge". The steps on this ridge are only more than 2 feet wide, and there are deep ravines on both sides, as steep as a knife or an axe. The height difference between the upper and lower ridge is about 500 meters, and the slope is more than 45 degrees. Here you can look at the green pines and white clouds in the distance and hear the roar of the wind, which is frightening and dizzying. Visitors are amazed when they come here. Although Canglong Ridge was originally repaired, it was still very dangerous. After liberation, the original ridge of the dragon's ridge was chiseled down and railings were added. In 1985, another chisel was cut to widen the ridge road. In 1997, in order to solve the congestion caused by the large number of tourists, the Huashan Administration Bureau built a new road on the east side of Canglong Ridge. During the peak tourist season, the two roads went up and down to ensure safety. If you are hiking at night and look at Canglong Ridge from a distance, you will see countless light spots in a straight line in the distance, slanting toward the sky and slowly moving upward. Tourists are climbing on the ridge with flashlights or headlamps, and it looks like they are climbing to the sky.
