Extended data:

1928, Feng Jinglan, a mineral deposit scientist with a master's degree in geology from Columbia University, discovered the Tertiary red glutenite in Danxia Mountain, Renhua County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, China.

In the Danxia Mountain area, the rock layers with a thickness of 300 ~ 500m are weathered by flowing water and wind, forming fortress-like peaks, various strange stones, stone bridges and caves.

Feng Jinglan realized that this is a unique landscape, and named the red gravel stratum that formed Danxia landform as Danxia stratum. The word "Danxia" comes from Cao Pi's Poems on the Lotus Pond, and "Danxia is accompanied by the bright moon and Huaxing is out of the clouds" refers to the rosy clouds in the sky.
