Evaluation of five towns

Five mountains come back without looking at the mountains. Mountain worship is a very old belief tradition in China. According to my speculation, it may be formed when our ancestors returned to Kunlun Mountain for a long time (word of mouth, but it is not today's Kunlun Mountain, but today's Kunlun Mountain was delineated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the west of China). Later, after moving to the Central Plains, apart from the belief in Kunlun, they adapted to the new geographical environment and gradually developed the belief in five mountains and five towns.

However, it is puzzling that in today's China, which regards tourism as an important industry, wuyue's reputation is growing day by day, and it has been well written, while the five towns are always unknown and willing to be lonely. This is really an abnormal phenomenon. Even Shaoxing people, who are famous for their shrewdness and commercial development, seldom mention one of the five famous towns in China in their tourism propaganda, which makes me puzzled.

The so-called "five towns" refer to the five mountains that are second only to the five mountains in national festivals: one mountain in Dongzhen, Huiji Mountain in Nanzhen, five mountains in Xizhen, Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen and Huoshan Mountain in Zhong Zhen. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to wuyue's adjutant. Yishan, Dongzhen, located in Linqu County, Shandong Province, is the first of the "five towns"; South Town Huiji Mountain is located in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province; Zhong Zhen Huoshan is located in huozhou city; Wu Xizhen Mountain is located in chencang district, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province; Beizhen Yiwulu Mountain is located in Beining City, Liaoning Province.
