Shenxian mountain

Shenxian mountain

Shenxian mountain, the ancient North Mountain Hengshan, also known as Changshan and Damao mountain, is located in Fuping County, Baoding City, Hebei Province. Its main peak lies at the junction of Fuping County, Laiyuan County and Tang county. It is 30 kilometers away from Fuping County in the southwest. In the first year of shenjue (61 BC), Emperor Xuan of Han Dynasty granted Beiyue the same name as Mount Tai, Huashan, Hengshan and Songshan. In 1661 A.D., Tianfeng mountain in Shanxi Province was renamed Beiyue. Since then, Hengshan Mountain has been called Shenxian mountain by local people.

According to the records in the general annals of Jifu, the name of Shenxian mountain is named after the legend that there are immortals playing chess on the mountain.

overview

Shenxian mountain is a famous historical mountain which integrates natural and cultural landscape and integrates the north and south. Guo Xi, the author of the painting of early spring in the Northern Song Dynasty, has a subtle comment: "Mount Tai is like sitting, Mount Hua is like standing, Mount Heng is like walking, Mount Heng is like flying, Mount Song is like lying.". In song and Liao dynasties, Mt. Damao was in the Song Dynasty, and Mt. Xuanwu in Hunyuan was in the state of Liao. I don't think a scholar would go to the border line of Liao army to see the scenic spot. Besides, there was no dispute about the location of Mt. Hengshan at that time. If there is history, it should also be the characteristics of the ancient North Mountain, not excluding the modern evaluation of Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi Province. Shenxian mountain is an ideal place for botanical garden, zoo, leisure and entertainment, summer recuperation, investigation of animals and plants, and exploration of caves. Here you can feel the infinite vitality of nature and enjoy its intoxicating scenery. The reason why the ancients could choose Shenxian mountain as the north mountain is that Shenxian mountain is in line with the aesthetic standards of the Chinese nation.

Majestic and magnificent

Guheng mountain is the highest mountain in the north of North China Plain and Taihang Mountain. It is 120 kilometers away from Baoding. It is composed of more than 20 peaks. Standing on the top of the cliff, you can see the spectacular scene of connecting peaks, embracing peaks, pressing peaks and competing for the first. There is a folk saying that "Shenxian mountain is 40 Li, the top of the mountain is one meter, rolling one inch a day, rolling to the end in a few years", which describes the height of the mountain. It is steep, towering and straight; the highest point is 1890 meters on Taiyi peak, on which there is granny Temple (namely Sanxiao Notre Dame Temple), with constant incense. Hundreds of mu of open land is called paomaliang. As the name suggests, it is flat and open. Here is a sea of forest and clouds, green peaks, dense trees and abundant grass, and Xiangquan waterfall. With the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests in the south, the wild interest of the grassland in the north, and the misty sea in the Yunshan mountains, it is a cool and cool world that can not be seen. The virgin forest of Mt. Damao is luxuriant and covers the sky, and the winding path at the foot is obscured by the transverse shrubs. The more you climb up, the more dangerous the mountain is. The denser the forest is. The clouds at your feet are like fog. The forest is full of smoke. There is a sense of "linghengshan is as crude as it is, and you can forget your worries by chatting about happiness" (Dongfang Shuo's "seven commandments from sorrow"). There are countless natural landscapes in the mountains, especially caves and caves. There are countless mysterious caves on the four cliffs at the south end. Only the myths and legends include Huanglong cave, Heilong cave, bottomless cave, Laojun cave, Baihu cave, YEMA cave, etc. The water in Huanglong cave is always fresh and cold in midsummer. The cave is deep and bottomless. The outflow water is accompanied by vegetable leaves, roots and other debris. I don't know where the source is. The West foot of the deep Jinlong cave, with a river in the cave and a hole in the river, is a large underground river in North China, with an average depth of more than 10 meters. Inside the cave, the bells and breasts hang upside down in different shapes. There is also a natural hot spring at the bottom of Jinlong cave, with suitable water temperature, which is a good place for bathing.

There are green trees and flowers all over Shenxian mountain. On the broad paomaliang, the grass is luxuriant, the warbler is flying, the grass is growing, and the flowers are blooming, harmoniously integrating the magnificent mountain and the vast grassland. On the narrow valleys and cliffs, there are ancient pines and cypresses and waterfalls flying down. In particular, the running horse beam on the wanzhang cliff increases the openness and serenity of the mountain.

In spring, the sun is shining, countless mountain flowers are competing for beauty, and the fragrance of flowers is circuitous and diffuse in the air. Small waterfalls formed by mountain springs jump down the gully one by one. During the Dragon Boat Festival, there are still popsicles hanging upside down on the mountain. In summer, the small village in the middle of the mountain is shrouded in clouds, which can be called "there are people in baiyunsheng". The sun is burning at the foot of the mountain, the wind is cool on the mountain, and the temperature is uneven in a day. The vegetation on the mountain is dense and green. It is very vigorous and intertwined. Pedestrians have to cut through the thorns before they can walk. Mount paomaliang, go through the pine forest, climb to grandma's point, and take a panoramic view of the continuous mountains, lush forests, scattered villages, Dingzhou tower, DouWang hall, Xidayang reservoir, Wangkuai reservoir, etc. When the sun is about to set, the clouds in the sky are ever-changing and the atmosphere is ever-changing. It's like riding on the clouds. In autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light. If you are interested, you can stay at the top of the mountain for a few days. In the evening, you can see the night scenery of the surrounding counties, the lights of thousands of families, which is extremely beautiful and has the feeling of reaching the peak; in the day, you can see the beautiful mountains and rivers, the mountain ranges, the ups and downs, the craggy rocks, which makes you feel relaxed and happy, and forget to return. In winter, the grotesque shape of the ice falls are presented to meet the mountaineers; roe deer and rabbits run up the mountain to guide the tourists; if the snow is heavy, the mountains are covered with snow, and the mountains are more pleasant.

Fairy mist

Shenxian mountain is the first barrier for the southeast warm and humid air flow across the North China plain to the northwest mountains. Due to the sudden elevation of the altitude, the warm and humid air flow releases heat and rains, and the Taihang Mountain in the northwest surrounds the mountain. The mountains with an altitude of more than 2000 meters form a semi-circular arrangement from Laiyuan to Fuping, forming a natural barrier to block the cold current from the northwest in winter. Therefore, more than one summer has formed around the mountain It is a special mountain climate with wet and cool rain, inversion in winter, stagnant air flow and relatively high temperature. Clouds grow out of thin air in the mountains, and clouds are rain. This is the real reason why people say that paomaliang in Shenxian mountain is the Queen Mother's back garden, watering flowers 72 times a year. The air here is filtered by mist, fresh, moist and free of dust.
