Huashan Mountain

Huashan Mountain is one of the five famous mountains in China. It is located in the south of Huayin City, Shaanxi Province, with an altitude of 2200 meters. It is at the intersection of the Yellow River Golden Triangle in Qin, Jin and Henan provinces. It is adjacent to Qinling Mountains in the South and overlooks the Yellow River in the north, so it has its name. It is also called Taihua mountain because it is adjacent to Shaohua mountain in the West. Huashan has been a road since ancient times. From north to south, it runs through Beifeng, Zhongfeng, Dongfeng, Nanfeng and Xifeng, with a distance of 20 kilometers. Along the way, you must pass through qianchizhuang, baichixia, laojunligou, Shangtianti, canglongling and other extremely dangerous thoroughfares. In addition, there are long sky plank road, kite turning over and other dangerous scenes unheard of by ordinary people.

history

Xianzhang cliff is located in the East peak of Huashan Mountain, which refers to the East Cliff of Dongshi peak. The wind and rain erosion of nature created a palm shaped stone pattern on the cliff. It is tens of meters high and has five distinct fingers. It is vivid and lifelike. It is called Huayue fairy palm. Because of its magnificent hall, it is listed as the first scene of "eight scenic spots in Guanzhong" in Shaanxi Province.

It is most suitable to watch from a distance. Entering Tongguan, Shaanxi and overlooking Qinling Mountains, you can see it first. On a fine morning, the palmprint stands like a red gold-plated one, and its splendor is magnificent. All the viewers are amazed. On the way to the mountain, you can also have a close-up view of the Andromeda at canglongling and Wuyun peak, but the effect is not as good as that at a distance.

There are many myths and legends about the fairy palm of Huayue in the past dynasties. There are two main versions. It is said that in ancient times, Shouyang mountain in the east of Huanghe River and Shanxi Province has been the same as Huashan Mountain for many years, and the common people of Li people suffered a lot. With compassion for human suffering, he pushed Huashan Mountain and stepped on Shouyang mountain, breaking the axis of the earth and breaking the ridge. One mountain moved into two, and the river ran eastward between the two mountains. From then on, the fingerprints of the giant spirit tuishan remained 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, 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.

It is also said that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to Mount Hua that year, he sighed the merits of the giant spirit God and built the giant spirit cave 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 the name of Yizhang. He once proposed to change Huayin County into Xianzhang county.

The ancients had many poems and prose about immortal palms, which were full of witticism. Wang Wei of Tang Dynasty wrote the poem Huayue

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

Step on the right foot to stop, and push and cut it on the left.

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 later became famous for his poems and was called Liu Xianzhang. Second, Tang Yu? "Xianzhang Fu" by Guan Tu and "Taihua Fu of giant spirit" by Guan Tu 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.

legend

From canglongling of Huashan Mountain to jiangjunshi, visitors can clearly see the five fingers on the cliff of Chaoyang peak, just like the left hand trace of a giant. This cliff is called "Xianzhang cliff", which is the first of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong. There is also a wonderful legend about the origin of "Xianzhang".

It is said that in ancient times, there were 11 mountains on the East Bank of the Yellow River, Shouyang mountain (now Zhongtiao Mountain in Shanxi Province) and Taihua mountain on the West Bank of the Yellow River. At that time, the climate here was warm and moist, the mountains were full of green and white clouds, the fertile fields were endless, the cooking smoke was curling, and people lived a peaceful life. On March 3 of one year, there was a loud noise. The flood soon flooded the fertile fields and villages, and the land suddenly became a water country.

It turned out that this year, the queen mother held a peach party. The old birthday star drank two cups more. When he was not careful, the jade bug in his hand tilted, and the nectar spilled into the heaven, which immediately turned into a disaster in the world. People's resentment rushed to SHAOHAO, the White Emperor who dominated the world for 120000 miles in the West. The White Emperor quickly told the jade emperor about it. The Jade Emperor was so surprised that he sent a decree to the giant spirit immortal, asking him to come down to earth and eliminate this disaster immediately.

The head is like a fence, the eyes are like a bell, and the feet are big. He came down to the cliff of Huashan Mountain. He covered his forehead with one hand and looked eastward. After observing for a moment, he squeezed himself into the mountains. With one punch in his left hand and one kick in his right foot, he tried his best to spread his body. All he heard was a loud noise and the mountain cracked. In an instant, the Yellow wave, a hundred feet high, like an arrow away from the string, shot eastward. Looking up at Huashan, it had been pushed into the Qinling Mountains. Looking back at Shouyang, it was in the north of the waves. At this time, the giant spirit immortal standing in the water looked at the water roaring eastward, sighed and laughed, and drove Caiyun westward. Although the giant spirit immortal has gone, his immortal palm is deeply imprinted on the cliff of the towering East peak of Huashan Mountain, adding a magical and incomparable scenery to Huashan Mountain.

Huashan Mountain in Xiyue is very dangerous, which gives every visitor a deep feeling. Huashan Mountain is tall and straight, and the climbing route is close to the cliff. It is steep and narrow, and it is startling step by step. Because it is too difficult to build roads, there is only one way up the mountain for many years, so there is a saying that there is only one road in Huashan since ancient times. The ropeway was built in 1996, which greatly facilitates the tourists and enables ordinary tourists to enjoy the main scenic spots on the top of the mountain in half a day.

Huashan has five peaks in the East, West, South, North and middle. The south peak is the highest, with an altitude of 2160 meters. Huashan is also a famous Taoist mountain with many Taoist temples. Visitors can stay at the Taoist temple or guest house on the top of the mountain to enjoy the magnificent night scenery and the magnificent sunrise.
