Has anyone been to Huashan? Can you introduce it? Want to know.

The English name of Huashan Mountain in Xiyue: Hua Mountain

The pinyin of "huashan" is flat and falling.

Lu Youren's "Yanbei Magazine" volume says: "Zhang said "Huashan Monument" says: Taihua Mountain, when Shaoyin is used, all things bloom, so it is not called Huashan." According to Volume 19 of "Shui Jing Zhu": "Looking from a distance, it looks like a flower." , hence the name Huashan" can be proved by Lu. The "Hua" in "Huashan" in Du Xunhe's poems is pronounced in plain tone; for example, "Fei Zhengjun's Tomb" says: "I don't know how high the curtain is three feet high, but Jiuhua Mountain", and "Send to Li Mingfu" says: "We will write six pieces of silk. Get Jiuhua Mountain. "However, there are very few people who dare to use it as a calm voice. According to Lu's quotation, the preface to the "Inscription on the Jiuhua Mountain Stele in Xiyue" is actually the words of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Yangong only made the inscription.

——Quoted from Qian Zhongshu's "Tan Yi Lu" "Second Note on the Chinese Characters of Huashan"

Ban Gu's "White Tiger Tongyi" of the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "Huashan Mountain is Huashan Mountain." "Hua" means "hua". It means that all things are born with flowers, so it is called Huashan. "Hua" seems to have a missing sound, so let's prepare an explanation.

To the west of Huashan Mountain is Zhongnan Mountain. Happy Valley, Zhong Kui’s hometown, is the hometown of Zhong Kui, the saint who blessed the house in the Tang Dynasty. [Edit this paragraph] Introduction Huashan Mountain is one of the famous Five Mountains in my country. It ranks first among the Five Mountains with an altitude of 2154.9 meters. It is located in Huayin County, Weinan City, a historical and cultural place 120 kilometers east of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. It is bordered by the broad Weihe River Plain and the roaring mountains in the north. The Yellow River, adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the south, is a granite mountain on the north side of the watershed ridge of the branch of the Qinling Mountains. With the changing costumes of nature, Huashan's various features are vividly outlined. It is a national-level scenic spot.

Huashan Mountain is not only majestic and dangerous, but also steep, with thousands of walls standing tall and tall peaks. It is famous for its steepness. Since ancient times, it has been known as "Huashan Mountain is the most dangerous mountain in the world" and "the most dangerous mountain in the world". It is said that because of this, Huashan has attracted countless brave people over the years. Strange dangers can inspire people's courage and wisdom, and the spirit of climbing without fear of obstacles, allowing people to experience the majesty of the motherland's mountains and rivers immersively.

There have long been records about Huashan in ancient Chinese books. The earliest ancient book mentioning Mount Huashan is said to be the chapter of "Shang Shu·Yugong", but at first Mount Huashan was called "Dunwu Mountain". Mount Huashan was also called Xiyue and Dongyue Mount Tai. It was first seen in the book "Erya·Shishan" . It is said that the name Xiyue came from the fact that King Ping of Zhou Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, and Mount Hua was located to the west of the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so it was called "Xiyue". Later, the Qin Dynasty established its capital in Xianyang, and the Western Han Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an, both of which were located to the west of Mount Huashan, so Mount Huashan was no longer called "Xiyue". It was not until Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, established the Eastern Han Dynasty in Luoyang that Huashan Mountain regained its name as "Xiyue" and it has been used to this day.

Because Huashan Mountain is too dangerous, few people visited it before the Tang Dynasty. Kings in the past dynasties held ceremonies in the Xiyue Temple at the foot of the mountain when they offered sacrifices to Xiyue. According to "Shangshu", Huashan is "the place where Emperor Xuanyuan gathered all the immortals". "Historical Records" records that both Huangdi and Yushun visited Huashan Mountain for hunting. According to records, King Zhao of Qin ordered craftsmen to use hooks and ladders to climb Mount Huashan. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was no road leading to the top of Mount Huashan. Until the Tang Dynasty, with the prosperity of Taoism, Taoists began to live in the mountains and build temples, and gradually dug a dangerous road along the valley on the north slope, forming "a road in Huashan since ancient times".

Huashan Mountain attracts countless visitors with its steepness. The temples, courtyards, pavilions, and pavilions on the mountain are all built according to the mountain. The mountains are flying like castles in the air, and they are matched by ancient pines, which is even more unique. The peaks are beautiful and have different images, such as Han Xiangzi driving cattle, golden toad playing with turtle, white snake suffering... The gurgling water of the valley road and the water curtain waterfall in the mountain stream are even more interesting. Moreover, Huashan Mountain stands tall and tall in the Weihe Plain. The east, south and west peaks rise from the ground like a knife cutting them in one go. Zhang Qiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem: "Who will cut the Yitian Peak with the Yitian Sword." This is all about the tall and straight peaks of Mount Huashan. The Weihe Plain at the foot of Mount Huashan is only 330-400 meters above sea level, while Mount Huashan is 2,154.9 meters above sea level, with a height difference of more than 1,700 meters. The mountain is majestic, making it even more straight. [Edit this paragraph] Origin of the name There are many theories about the origin of the name Huashan. Generally speaking, it is inseparable from the fact that the peak of Huashan resembles a lotus. In ancient times, "hua" and "flower" were used interchangeably, as stated in "Shui Jing Zhu" "It looks like a flower when viewed from a distance", hence the name. One of the Five Mountains in China, a famous mountain in Shaanxi Province. Located in Huayin County, it belongs to the eastern section of Qinling Mountains. It borders Tongguan in the east, Chang'an in the west, Qinling Mountains in the south, and Huangwei Mountain in the north. It was called in ancient times Taihua Mountain, also known as Xiyue Huashan.

It is composed of five peaks: middle (Jade Girl), east (Chaoyang), west (Lotus), south (Luoyan), and north (Five Clouds). The main peak looks like a gold ingot from a distance, and the surrounding hills look like lotuses from a distance. There is also an inverted lotus petal stone in front of the Cuiyun Palace on the west peak, which is called "Huashan". Because it is close to the Yellow River, it is the birthplace of China, and people's accents, etc. Therefore, it is called "Huashan". The whole mountain is a granite fault block mountain, with the highest peak at an altitude of 2157.9M. The precipitous cliffs overlooking the Weihe River Plain are as tall as a thousand feet and have been a tourist attraction since ancient times. Huashan Mountain has a local mountainous terrain and climate, and the mountains and rivers are concentrated on the rock joints, forming gullies. There are huge rocks accumulated in the ravine. The famous "Fish Rock" was formed by a mudslide during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1662? 6? 51722). The large fault on the northern slope of Huashan Mountain is still active recently, and the Huaxian earthquake in 1556 reached magnitude 8 on the Richter scale. [Edit this paragraph] East Peak: With an altitude of 2096.2 meters, it is one of the main peaks of Huashan Mountain. It is named because of its location in the east. There is a platform on the top of the peak. It is high up and has a wide view. It is a famous place to watch the sunrise. It is called Chaoyang Peak. Therefore, the East Peak is also called Chaoyang Peak.

Dongfeng is composed of four peaks, one master and three servants. The peak where Chao Balcony is located is the highest, Yunu 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 in their own way. Qianqiu. The ancients called the three peaks of Huashan Mountain, referring to the three peaks of east, west and south. Yunv Peak is an integral part of the East Peak. Today, people refer to Yunv Peak as the Zhongfeng, so that it also exists alone as the main peak of Huashan Mountain.

In ancient times, the road to climb the East Peak was said to be difficult and dangerous. "Sancai Tuhui" records that: the hill is like a cut out slope, dozens of feet high, with only a few foot holes cut on it, and there are no holes on both sides. The branches and vines can be climbed, and climbers can only reach the top by climbing on the rocks and using their hands and feet. Nowadays, several steps to climb the peak have been opened and widened, allowing tourists to reach it safely.

The top of the East Peak is covered with giant cypress trees and pine trees, which block out the sun with thick shade, making the environment very quiet. Visitors walking through the pine forest are surrounded by green shades, like umbrellas and canopies, and the pine waves are chanting in their ears. They suddenly feel relaxed and happy, transcendent and transcendent. Wang Lu, a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, talked about his experience in "Dongfeng Ji": Tall juniper pines shade the peak, the stone path under the trees is refreshing and quiet, the wind blows through the forest, and the surging pines add a musical charm. Rhythms, one after another, like blowing silk bamboo, tapping gold and stone, how wonderful

There are more than dozens of landscapes on the East Peak. There are natural stone patterns on the cliff beside the East Stone Tower Peak, 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 Chaoyang balcony, facing the Yanggong Pagoda in the west peak. It was built by General Yang Hucheng. On the tower are 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. [Edit this paragraph] Nanfeng Nanfeng is 2154.9 meters above sea level. It is the highest main 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.

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 of the Ming Dynasty described the image of Nanfeng in his book "Huashan Ji": "It is like a person sitting in danger with his knees drawn up."

The origin of the name of Luoyan Peak is that it is said to be due to the return of wild geese. Drop down and rest here. 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 Pond and Black Dragon Pond at the highest point, and Anyu Zhenren’s shrine and welcoming pine on the southwest cliff.

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.

Many poems and essays have been written about the southern 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 asked about the blue sky, and I once left Li and banished him to immortality.

I suddenly returned to the peaceful guest and flew to the highest peak.

The anger is exhaled outside Hongmeng, and the spirit surpasses Tai Chi first.

How can Mao Long borrow it until he reaches the edge of Wucheng. [Edit this paragraph] Xifeng Xifeng is 2082.6 meters above sea level. It is one of the main peaks of Huashan Mountain and 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.

Xifeng is a complete boulder, completely made of 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.

The surrounding mountains are undulating, clouds are draped all around, the surrounding fields are open, and the Yellow River and the Wei River are flowing. When you are in it, you feel like you have entered a fairyland and a divine palace, and all kinds of common thoughts are swept away.
