Introduction to mountain

As early as 2.8 billion years ago, Taihang mountain area was inundated by sea water and deposited thick clastic rocks, iron bearing siliceous rocks and carbonate strata. Affected by the Wutai movement and Luliang movement, the ancient strata in the area were generally folded and metamorphosed, accompanied by the invasion of faults and quartz dikes.

In the East Taihang scenic area, 1.8 billion years ago, migmatized crystalline basement rocks were formed. Six hundred million years ago, Taihang mountain area was still a vast ocean. Later, through frequent crustal activities, Taihang Mountain gradually uplifted. Later, it broke with the North China Plain in the East and West, forming a steep landform in the east of Taihang and a gentle landform in the West. East Taihang is named for its location at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountains. The slopes on the East and west sides are relatively gentle and steep from north to south. The ridge rises from south to North according to the situation. The peak of Seng mountain on the north side is 1428.2 meters above sea level. The streams on the East and west sides are surrounded by mountains and converge to Jingniang Lake area.

Cultural heritage

Taihang stretches thousands of miles across Hebei Province. It begins with Huai and ends with you. It is the backbone of the world. East Taihang belongs to Taihang Mountains, steep and rugged. It is the mainstay of China's historical development, and is an important cultural landmark of the emotional belonging of the Chinese nation.

Taihang Mountain

The situation is precipitous and has always been regarded as an important place for soldiers. From the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were endless wars for more than 2000 years. In 650 BC, Qi conquered Jin, entered mengmen and ascended Taihang. The Duke of Qi once suspended his chariot to tie his horse to Taihang. In 263 B.C., the state of Qin attacked Korea and conquered Han Xingyang in one fell swoop. In 204 B.C., Liu Bang was trapped between Xingyang and Chenggao. He adopted Li Shiqi's suggestion, strangling Feihu in the north and guarding Baima in the South (now northeast Huaxian County, Henan Province). Finally, he saved his life. In the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (114 A.D.), Emperor Han'an ordered to garrison troops in 36 strategic positions at the southern end of Taihang in order to prevent foreign enemies from invading Luoyang. When Cao Cao surrounded Linzhang, Yuan Shang easily led his army out of Taihang, but he was defeated by Cao. In the 19th year of the Jin Dynasty (394 A.D.), later Yan murongchui entered to cut down the Western Yan, and the troops were stationed in the southwest of Linzhang. Murong Yongling of Xiyan ordered all the troops to block the Taihang pass. Murong Chui led his troops into the pass and destroyed Xiyan. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin and Dou Jiande fought. Li Shimin entered the tiger prison, so that Dou could not cross Taihang. Li took the opportunity to occupy Shangdang and take over Hedong. In the 18th year of Yuan Dynasty (1281 AD), Liu Futong led the uprising army to cross Taihang and set fire to the party. In Yuan Dynasty, chahanniemur was stationed in Jingxing and Du Taihang to prevent the uprising army from developing northward.

During the Anti Japanese War, the 129th division of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei and Shanxi, under the leadership and command of Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, established Taihang district (Shanxi Hebei Henan border region). Starting from the Taihang Mountains, the guerrilla warfare rapidly developed into a vast area with Tongbo and Fenhe rivers in the west, Bohai Sea in the East, Yellow River in the South and Zhengtai and Cangshi roads in the north, forming many important strategic areas.
