Changbai Mountain falls

Changbai Mountain falls

There is a big gap between Tianhuo peak and Longmen peak on the north side of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. This gap is the outlet of Tianchi. The water of Tianchi rushes out from the gap. The river has been scouring and eroding along the fault zone for a long time, making the riverbed continuously cut and expand, forming a long-lasting river. This river is called "Chengcha River", which also connects with Tianhe.

The ice cold river first took a leisurely walk in a gentle terrain of about 600 meters. Then the terrain suddenly inclines to the north, and the gentle river immediately becomes impulsive, irritable, galloping, and roaring. It jumps all the way. It is about 1250 meters away from the Tianchi Lake. After being cut by funiushi Boulder, the river changes into two streams, one big and one small, and jumps up from the cliff. From the cliff, it flies down 68 meters, with the natural barrier of jade and gold It's like two jade dragons falling from the sky. In the process of flying down, the two jade dragons mix together, and the water is more ferocious. They open their mouths and devour the protruding stone beach bravely. They rush to the deep bottom of the pool, splashing several feet high waves and more than ten feet of water mist, forming a magnificent Changbai waterfall.

Through the rugged gorge, it is surging and surging, flying thousands of miles, torrents and falling water. The great land passes through the sky, clouds turning and rain falling, bells and drums thundering, like a dragon falling into the sea, and momentum like ten thousand horses galloping. Thousands of years later, the waterfall was turned into a pool about 20 meters deep. The pool water splashes out like a flower in the sky, and converges into Erdaobai River, which is the main source of Songhua River.

In the summer of 1983, Comrade Deng Xiaoping climbed to the top of Changbai Mountain, inscribed the banners of "Changbai Mountain" and "Tianchi Lake", and exclaimed: "it's a great pity that you can't go to Changbai Mountain in life!"

Changbai Mountain

Changbai Mountain is a famous mountain in Northeast China. It has been China's sacred territory since ancient times and the birthplace of Songhua River, Tumen River and Yalu River. Its main peaks are mostly white pumice and snow, so it is the boundary mountain between China and Korea.

In order to better protect and develop the Changbai Mountain, the people's Government of Jilin Province designated the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve as early as 1960 and established the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve Administration Bureau, covering an area of 196465 hectares. In 1961, a 215000 hectare Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve was established, which was developed cautiously.

In September 1963, at Kim Il Sung's plea to "establish the holy land of the Korean revolution", the Chinese government signed a non-public treaty with the Korean government. The Chinese border line retreated 30 kilometers in the Tianchi area, where Changbai Mountain became the boundary mountain between China and Korea from the exclusive property of China, and Tianchi lake became the boundary lake.

This is a close witness to the friendship between China and North Korea under the historical circumstances at that time.

On the map of China in 1957, we can clearly see that the Changbai Mountain and the Tianchi Lake in the Changbai Mountain section are completely within the territory of China.

It is the best preserved nature reserve with the most abundant species and the most complete ecosystem in the same latitude area of the earth.

There are not only original forest, but also tundra, meadow, lake, river and swamp in the region, which is a typical representative of mountainous ecosystem in the northern half of Eurasia.

In 1980, it was classified into the "man and biosphere" protection network by UNESCO and became one of the biosphere reserves in the world.

In 1986, it was approved as a national nature reserve by the State Council. In 2006, it was promoted to AAAAA level by the first batch of national tourist attractions.

Changbai Mountain is one of the top ten famous mountains in China. It is the birthplace of Manchu, the rejuvenation of Kanto nationality and the settlement of Korean people. It is famous for its holy mountain and holy water and is known as "the first mountain in Kanto".

The origin of the name of Changbai Mountain

There are three reasons for the name of Changbai Mountain

First, as far as the top of Changbai Mountain, it is towering and white for a long time in a year;

Second, Changbai Mountain is formed by volcanic eruption. After eruption, the volcanic ash becomes gray or light yellow. The ancient traffic is blocked, so it is difficult to get close to it. Even after the short melting of ice and snow in summer, the distant peaks are still white;

Thirdly, in the book of mountains and seas, Changbai Mountain is called the brackish mountain. According to the oral romance, it is because the white volcanic pumice there is similar to Glauber's salt or salt. It should be salty, but it is not salty, but it is always white.

Accurate concept of Changbai Mountain

Changbai Mountain is one of the mountains in East Asia, which is mainly composed of Tianchi platform surrounded by 16 peaks, such as Baitou peak, which is 2760 meters above sea level. Changbai mountain can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense, which generally refers to the narrow sense of Changbai Mountain, that is, the main peak area of Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain in narrow sense

In a narrow sense, Changbai Mountain only refers to the main peak of Changbai Mountain (127 ° 40 '- 128 ° 16'e, 41 ° 35' - 42 ° 25'n).

Changbai Mountain is a giant compound dormant volcano. The surrounding lava plateau area is slightly irregular oval, with a long axis of about 140 km and a short axis of about 120 km, extending in the northeast direction, including the Changbai Mountain volcanic cone, the lava plateau around it and the Northeast southwest mountains, with an altitude of more than 800 meters.

Changbai Mountain in a broad sense

In a broad sense, Changbai Mountain refers to the whole Changbai Mountain region, which is the general name of the eastern mountains in East Asia. From north to north of Wanda mountain, South to Qianshan Mountain, old fellow iron mountain, West to Jilin hada ridge, east to Korean Peninsula.

It is composed of many Northeast southwest parallel fold faults, mountains, basins and valleys. Daheishan in Jilin Province and Daqingshan in Heilongjiang Province are in the West; zhangguangcailing in the north and hadaling in Jilin Province are in the West; weihuling and Longgang in the East extend to Qianshan in the South; Wandashan, Laoyeling and Jingang in the East, covering an area of about 310000 square kilometers.

The main area is between 38 ° 46 ′～ 47 ° 30 ′ N and 121 ° 08 ′～ 134 ° e, about 1300 km long and 400 km wide from east to west.

Changbai mountain basin

All the areas that the Changbai Mountain water system flows through are the Changbai mountain basin. There are three rivers that constitute the main water system of Changbai Mountain. They are Songhua River, Tumen River and Yalu River.

Each water system has its own watershed, which is also the highest backbone of the mountain and the natural boundary between regions. Therefore, in a strict sense, the geographical concept of Changbai Mountain is the whole region covered by Changbai Mountain water system, including peaks, mountains, hills, beaches, rivers and alluvial plains.

Changbai Mountain Culture

Changbai Mountain culture is the civilization produced by human activities in the Changbai mountain valley since ancient times. It includes the results of political struggle, scientific and technological achievements, human thought crystallization and many other elements.

Changbai Mountain culture has a history of more than 4000 years. The ancients lived in the South and chose the valley. The mountains and valleys are important places for human beings to inhabit and reproduce.

Sixteen peaks of Changbai Mountain

In 1908, the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Jianfeng, a scholar of the late Qing Dynasty, was appointed to explore Changbai Mountain. After four months of on-the-spot investigation, in addition to the official reports such as the origin and development of the three rivers in Changbai Mountain, he also wrote a brief chronicle of Jianggang in Changbai Mountain. Liu Jianfeng is both a scholar and a poet. Although the investigation is very arduous and even life-threatening, in the face of the majestic landscape of the motherland, I can't help singing poems and naming the peaks with great interest. Detailed topographic maps are drawn and the positions of the sixteen peaks are marked

Baiyun peak, Zhipan peak, Tianwen peak, Huagai peak; Tianhuo peak, Longmen peak, Zixia peak, Tiebi peak;

Guanri peak, Yuzhu peak, guanmian peak, Tiyun peak; Wohu peak, gufalcon peak, Jinping peak, Baitou peak.

After a long time of wind and rain, the 16 peaks are of various shapes and shapes. Some of them are like swords piercing the sky, some are like maidens dressing up, and some are like eagles holding objects. They are arranged in a big circle, white or yellow, green or green to protect a pool of clear water. Among them, the two main peaks at the outlet of Tianchi Lake are Tianhuo peak and Longmen peak.

Tianhuo peak

It is located on the East Bank of Chengcha River, opposite to Longmen peak, and connected to Tiebi peak in the southeast, with an altitude of 2620 meters. According to the records of Jianggang in Changbai Mountain, it is named Tianhuo because it has two sharp peaks and a line in the middle. Now the gap between the two peaks is more enlarged, and the middle line is also more uneven. "Peak stone is yellow, for light gold, its Yin more purple stone, gorgeous as cinnabar.". Fengdong is connected with Zhinv peak with his arm.

The formation of Tianhuo peak is due to the development of rock joints. After years of weathering, denudation, nitration and collapse, the volcanic rocks forming the Tianhuo peak formed a natural gap. There are many uneven stone peaks in the middle of the gap because the hard rock has not been weathered. At the back of Tianhuo peak, there is a black tuyere. At the bottom of the peak, on the Bank of Tianchi Lake, there are natural sculptures such as swift watching the sky, hump stone and black bear facing the sky.
