This article discusses and defines the general scope of Longshan in detail, and conducts a preliminary exploration of the formation of Longshan through tracing the evolution of its geological history. At the same time, six types of areas are divided according to the types and characteristics of the Longshan landforms: namely, eroded stony mid-mountainous areas, mid-low mountainous hilly areas, loess Liangmao gully areas, loess plateau remnant plateau gully areas, loess hilly gully areas and river valleys.
