The first mountain

Maoershan is the first mountain in Shanhaijing, Zhaoyao mountain is the first mountain recorded in Shanhaijing, and Zhaoyao mountain is Maoershan in Xing'an County, Guangxi.

In December 1983, China's first National Symposium on Shanhaijing was held in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. The Institute of history of Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences published the academic research achievement on the geographical location of Zhaoyao mountain, which proved that Zhaoyao mountain is Maoer Mountain in Xing'an County, Guangxi Province.

Development history

Maoershan was folded into a mountain in Cambrian, and then uplifted again in Caledonian movement after denudation and leveling. It was uplifted in both Yanshan movement and Himalayan movement. It is an ancient mountain in Guangxi. The strata are mainly composed of late Caledonian granites and Paleozoic metamorphic rocks, followed by Sinian metamorphic rocks and Yanshanian granites.

The sunrise of Maoer Mountain Maoer Mountain is the birthplace of Lijiang River and Zijiang River. Four seasons tourism has its own characteristics. Enjoying flowers in spring, summer, climbing in autumn and enjoying snow in winter are good places for sightseeing, novelty hunting and summer vacation. In 1993, the former Guilin Regional Tourism Bureau and Xing'an County Tourism Bureau jointly developed Maoer Mountain, with an initial investment of 1.16 million yuan. Six small scenic spots, including Shanmen, Dujuan garden, Tieshan Park, Laoshanjie, Gaoshan Park and Shili gorge, and 26 scenic spots were built. In 1997, Xing'an County Cultural Tourism Bureau, the former Guilin Forestry Bureau and Xing'an County Power Supply Bureau jointly invested 7 million yuan in the construction of Maoershan summer resort with a construction area of 4200 square meters and an investment of 30 million yuan to build a 160kW Maoershan power station.

On October 2, 1996, two farmers in Huajiang township of Xing'an County found a wreckage of a plane while collecting medicine in the primitive forest of the mountain. After expert identification, it was confirmed that it was the remains of a bomber belonging to the 375TH US Bomber Squadron during the Second World War, which attracted the world's attention. Xing'an County organized relevant departments and personnel to clean up the wreckage of the aircraft on the spot for many times, and assisted relevant departments at a higher level to complete the handover of the remains of the aircraft. The U.S. government sent expert teams and relevant Chinese departments to further search for the remains. This matter was commended by the autonomous regional government and praised by the US expert group.

geographical environment

Maoer Mountain in Guilin: the largest mountain in Wuling, the highest peak of Yuechengling mountain, shenmaoding, is the highest peak in South China. The peak is a granite boulder, which looks like a sleeping cat, so it is called Maoershan. Maoer Mountain is located at the junction of Zhongfeng Township and Huajiang Yao Township in Xing'an County. It is NE-SW trending.

It is 55 kilometers away from Xing'an County and 81 kilometers away from Guilin city. It spans two counties of Xing'an and Ziyuan, covering an area of 53000 hectares. It is the main peak of Yuechengling, one of the five mountains, with the highest altitude of 2142 meters. It is not only the first peak in Guangxi, but also the first peak in South China. It's named for the cool shape of a crouching cat at the top of the mountain. In 1990, Lu Dingyi inscribed a monument in Laoshanjie, praising Mao'er Mountain as "the grandeur of Mount Tai, the danger of Mount Hua, the seclusion of Mount Lu and the beauty of Emei".

Difference: shenmaoding, the main peak of Maoer Mountain, must be small, while the scope of related scenic spots and reserves can be up to 20 to 30 Li according to reasonable planning.

Analysis: some people think that the north of Maoer Mountain is separated by the fault zone from Zhongfeng Township in Ziyuan County to Huajiang Yao Township in Xing'an County (the southeast border of Liangshui Miao township is this gully). Maoer mountain should be divided from Yuechengling mountain. In fact, many mountains have gullies or even big gullies or even multiple branches. Maoer mountain range is in the middle branch of Yuecheng mountain range, and it has a boundary with the East Branch (the trunk of Yuecheng mountain range) and the West Branch.
