Geology and geomorphology

Yangshan mountain is located on a branch of Wugong mountain range, about 40 kilometers away from Yichun city. It is named for its "towering mountains, which can be raised but not ascended". There are many mountains, lush trees, streams and waterfalls. In spring, rhododendrons are in full bloom and red clouds cover the mountains, which is magnificent; in summer, the flowing springs are flowing down and the peaks are dense, which is like a fairyland; in autumn, the forests are dyed and the mountains and fields are colorful, which makes people feel intoxicated. As soon as winter comes, a little overcast is snow. Whenever snow and fog open, the snow in Jiyun peak, 1034 meters above sea level, is crystal clear and lasts for a long time, forming a beautiful snow top on the green field, which is pleasing to the eye. People call this scenic spot "Yangshan snow".

The magical beauty of Yangshan has attracted a lot of writers and scholars from all ages. Han Yu, one of the eight great masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, wrote a memorial to the God of Yangshan, expressing his reverence for Yangshan. Li Deyu, the famous Prime Minister of the middle Tang Dynasty, wrote the magnificent chapter of "Ode to Mountain Phoenix" for it, which reposes his yearning for the towering mountain. Huiji, a famous monk, regarded the clouds and fog of Yangshan mountain as a gift from heaven. Under Jiyun peak, he chose a spacious valley with beautiful peaks and lotus like shape to build Taiping Xingguo temple, and founded Taiyang sect, which was later known as one of the five schools of Chinese Zen.

In the Song Dynasty, poets and poets visited one after another. Huang Tingjian, the great calligrapher and the originator of Jiangxi poetry school, wrote the poem "to master Yangshan Jane" after visiting the temple of Yangshan: "master Jianshi flies to the land of tin, and the clouds gather outside the sky. Take the stone pine root thin. The bamboo shadow in the window is thick. " Pour out his heartfelt sigh to Yangshan Qiwei. Fan Chengda, one of the "four great poets of Zhongxing" in the Southern Song Dynasty. Regardless of the cold weather, rugged roads, and climbing in the rain, he stood on the upper floor of the Taiping Xingguo temple, looking from afar, "layer upon layer up to the top" of the Yangshan terraces, green and beautiful, with a panoramic view of the Yangshan snow peak, could not help sighing, "who can open the Yangshan cloud, this is beyond my power. The sun is rising, and the mountain peaks are rising. " A cavity of passion gushes out. Zhu Xi, a neo Confucianist of the Southern Song Dynasty, after touring Yangshan's famous sites, could not give up its cultural prosperity. He simply set up a seat in Siteng Pavilion of Taiping Xingguo temple to give lectures, which made Yangshan a gathering place for scholars.

Yangshan in Beijing

Yangshan Village

Now, on the north extension of Beijing's central axis, a new landmark has been erected. This is Yangshan, located in Beijing's Olympic Forest Park. Its main peak, Tianjing, is 86.5 meters above sea level, the highest point in the north of Beijing. The bird's nest, water cube, Olympic Avenue, and Yanshan mountain range are a beautiful new landscape in Beijing.

In fact, there are two places in Beijing that are called "Yangshan". One is located in the northwest of Chaoyang District, which is the east of today's Olympic Forest Park, called Yangshan village; the other is located in the east of Mentougou District, called Yangshan, which has a very long history.

Yangshan village in the northwest of Chaoyang District is named for its harmonious terrain. One is that this village is located in the eastern edge of Wali basin. The terrain is high in the East and low in the West. It looks upward. It was once called "yangshanwa". Standing here, you can look up to the green mountains in the northwest, so it is called "Yangshan". In fact, the name "Yangshan" here means to look up at the distant mountains, not that there is a high mountain called "Yangshan". On the one hand, Yangshan village was once called "Yangshan village" and later homonymous as "Yangshan". "Cultivating goodness" means cultivating virtue and talent. It comes from many kinds of historical books, and Mencius says, "I know what I say, and I am good at cultivating my noble spirit." In 1982, the village was merged with lujiafen village in the north to form a natural village, which is collectively known as "Yangshan village". Three years ago, the Olympic Forest Park was built on the west side of Yangshan village, so when naming the main peak of the park, it was named "Yangshan", which echoed the name of "Jingshan", which implied the verse of "high mountains, high mountains, high mountains and high mountains" in the book of songs, and combined to form the word "Jingyang", which also preserved the local traditional place name of "Yangshan village" .

Yangshan in the east of Mentougou District

Yangshan mountain in the east of Mentougou District is a famous mountain in Miaofengshan town. The local people compare it to a blooming lotus flower. Its name is derived from the fact that the mountain is "towering, but not climbing". Because the top of Yangshan mountain is like a lotus, and there are five peaks around it, so there are other names in Guangxu shuntianfu annals: Jiji peak, Jinxiu peak, Bijia peak, Duxiu Peak and Lianhua peak. Grade peak in the north, to describe its high; Jinxiu peak in the west, to describe its gorgeous; Bijia peak in the south, to describe its peak shape; Duxiu Peak in the East; Lianhua peak in the West. The name is different, but the peak is still the same. Yangshan has many historic sites. At the top of the peak, there is Qiyin temple, which was built during the reign of Jin Dading. It was once a favorite place of Jin Zhangzong. It is said that Jin Zhangzong visited here many times, and inscribed "the golden world in the bag rate king, blue lotus flower in the palace of the Vatican king.". The crane is startled by the clear dew in the third watch of the moon, whistling emptily and sparing the forest. In the Qing Dynasty, there were eight pavilions with different architectural styles on Yangshan, such as Huigong Pavilion, hair reception Pavilion, and facial washing Pavilion. To this day, there are still several ancient pagodas that are still well preserved and towering in the mountain forest. It can be inferred that Buddhism flourished hundreds of years ago. Because of its elegant environment and its original style, it has become a good place for people to go for outings in recent years.
