The origin of Huashan's name

Huashan Mountain has long been recorded in China's ancient books. The earliest ancient book about Huashan is said to be Shangshu Gong Yu, but at first Huashan was called Wuji Mountain, and Huashan was called Xiyue Mountain and Dongyue Mount Tai, which was first seen in the book Erya Shishan. Xiyue is called "Xiyue" because Zhou Pingwang moved to Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Huashan is in the west of the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Later, Xianyang, Qin Dou and Chang 'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, were both located to the west of Huashan, so Huashan was no longer called "Xiyue". It was not until Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, established the Eastern Han regime in Luoyang that Huashan regained the title of "Xiyue" and has been in use ever since. Ban Gu's White Tiger Yi Tong in the Eastern Han Dynasty said: "Xiyue is a Huashan person, and Hua also speaks." It is said that everything gives birth to China, hence the name Huashan. "that is," China "and" gain ". In spring, flowers bloom and the scenery is beautiful, so Xiyue is called Huashan Mountain.
