Viewing

It is most suitable to watch from a distance. When you enter Shaanxi and look at the Qinling Mountains, the first thing you can see is it. On a bright morning, the palmprint is like gilded red gold, standing majestically and magnificently, which makes the viewer marvel. On the way to the mountain, you can have a close look at Xianzhang at Wuling and Wuyun peak, but the effect is not as good as that at a distance.

Myths and legends

There are many myths and legends about the fairy palm of Huayue in the past dynasties. There are two main versions. Yibing was in ancient times. Today, Shouyang mountain in the east of Huanghe River and Shanxi Province is connected with Huashan Mountain, which was originally a mountain. When the Yellow River water came here, it was intercepted and twisted. It was flooded and suffered many disasters for years. The God of the river pitied for the human suffering. He pushed Huashan Mountain and stepped on Shouyang mountain, breaking the axis of the earth and breaking the ridge. A mountain moved into a river, and the river ran eastward between the two mountains. From then on, the fingerprints of the giant spirit tuishan remained at the top of Huashan Mountain and the footprints at the foot of Shouyang mountain.

The Buddhist book Fayuan Zhulin written by Daoshi of Tang Dynasty contains another theory. It is said that in ancient times, the heaven and the earth were chaotic, and the mountains and the sea were connected. In Taihang, Wangwu and Huashan areas, the Bailu river was flooded, which was called the West Sea. In order to control the flood disaster, Qin Honghai, the great spirit, left the Huashan Mountain and right the Zhongtiao with his left hand, which split the mountain and sea and led the river to the ground. So he left his palms and footprints.

It is also said that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to Mount Hua that year, he sighed for the merits of the giant spirit God and built a giant spirit temple at the foot of Mount Hua. According to historical records, in the first year of chuigong (685) of Tang Dynasty, the magistrate of Huayin County wanted to publicize Huayin in the name of Xianzhang because he admired it. He once proposed that Huayin county be named Xianzhang county.

The ancients had many poems and prose about immortal palms, all of which were full of words

In the past, when we heard that heaven and earth were closed, nature gave birth to great spirits.

Step on the right foot and cut it with the left hand.

Heaven and earth suddenly open crack, river note Dongming.

Therefore, it was the west mountain, and the Xiongxiong town was the capital of Qin Dynasty.

Liu Xiang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem on the immortal palm

The pavilions and pavilions of all ages depend on the blue sky. No wonder, no move.

How to take the water from Tianchi and sprinkle it on the earth to save drought seedlings.

It is said that Liu Xiang was later named Dazhen for this poem and was called Liu Xianzhang. In addition, Tang Yu's "Xianzhang Fu" and Guan Tu's "giant Taihua Fu" are all excellent works with one chant and three sighs.

Today, there is a viewing platform at the intersection of Wuyun peak in Huashan Mountain, which is protected by stone railings and iron ropes. It is convenient for visitors to view the palm, and there are more visitors to take photos here.
