The geographical location of Dizhu Mountain

Dizhu Mountain is located in the river 40 miles east of Sanmenxia City, Henan Province and 50 miles southeast of Pinglu County, Shanxi Province.

Dizhu Mountain looks like a very tall stone pillar. At the foot of the mountain is a vast sea of ??forests, on the mountainside is clouds and mist, and on the top of the mountain is a clear sky. The middle peak is the highest. The peak is cylindrical and covers an area of ??about 2,000 square meters. There are the Patriarch Temple, Bodhisattva Hall, Qiuzi Hall, Wudang Taoist Temple, etc. built on it.

In ancient times, at the bottom of the Yellow River in Sanmenxia, ??Henan, three rapids were formed due to a high and low rock formation. They were commonly known as the "Human Gate" in the north, the "Shen Gate" in the middle, and the "Shenmen" in the south. It is called the "Ghost Gate", and the "Ghost Gate" is particularly dangerous. This is how the name Sanmenxia came about. Since the Yellow River is the fastest and most dangerous in this area, ships in the past often ran aground on rocks when passing through Sanmenxia.

However, when the rapids of the Yellow River rushing eastward in Sanmenxia, ??Henan Province rushed directly towards Diazhu Mountain, this tall "stone pillar" stood tall and unwavering in the face of the dangerous water. Therefore, the ancients often used "mainstay" to describe the forces and characters that play a huge supporting role in difficult, dangerous and turbulent environments.

The mainstay. . It is a metaphor that a strong and independent person can play a pillar role in a turbulent and difficult environment.
