In ancient times, those who were not sincere often met with wind, rain and lightning, and could not survive or die.

Development history

The name of the nine peaks is derived from the nine peaks. According to the annals of Peng County written by Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, "in the northwest of China, there are nine peaks standing on the sky, which are actually the crowns of all the mountains in Pengyi, so it is named. "What's the shape of the nine peaks? Jiaqing Zhili said: "the nine peaks are white dragon, rosefinch, flame and Tianya in the northeast, backlit by China and Japan, and Xianren, Huanglong, Yuanwu and Baihu in the southwest. "

geographical environment

The nine peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, rising into the sky. When the ancient Shu people didn't know the relationship between the sun and the earth, they thought that the steep nine peaks blocked the way of the sun and the moon, and called the valley between the nine peaks "Menggu" (the place where the sun sleeps). Some people who study Shanhaijing say that Jiufengshan is the "Lingshan" in dahuangxijing. Wupeng, Wuwei, Wuji, Wugu, Wugu, Wuzhen, Wuli, Wudi, Wuxie, Wuluo and other ten witches come to the world from here. All kinds of medicines grow here. When they go to the world, they also need to collect some by the way to treat people's diseases. Therefore, the mountain is also known as "TIANTI", "Shenxian road" and "fairyland on earth". It is also said that this mountain is a mountain of "climbing is spirit", "climbing is God", "climbing can not die", "climbing can make wind and rain", "producing medicine that can not die". Covering an area of about 180 square kilometers, the scenic spot is composed of flame peak, Baihu peak, Beiguang peak, Yuanwu peak, Xianren peak, Zhuque peak, Changnian peak, Tianya peak and Longfeng.

Post earthquake impact

After the 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake, the mountain collapses were serious. The road from zushidian to Guanyinyan is seriously damaged and needs to pass through 5 large landslides. Each landslide has a guide mark (red cloth belt or plastic bag, etc.) left by a donkey, and the landslides between the road and the road are not long (the first landslide out of zushidian is the longest), so they generally will not get lost. Guanyinyan is still in good condition. There are all kinds of daily necessities in it. There are masters living in summer and autumn. The road from Guanyinyan to leiyinsi is the least damaged, almost the original road, with only two landslides (very short, with road signs). The Leiyin temple in Jinding has collapsed. There is a bed and some quilts under the collapsed eaves to keep out the cold at night.
