Qionglai mountains

synonym

Qionglai mountain generally refers to Qionglai mountains

Qionglai mountains, in the west of Sichuan Province. It stretches about 250 kilometers from north to south. It is the watershed of Minjiang River and Dadu River, the geographical and agricultural boundary of Sichuan Basin and Qinghai Tibet Plateau. From north to south, there are Bawang mountain (5551 meters above sea level), balang mountain (5072 meters above sea level), Jiajin mountain (4129 meters above sea level) and Erlang Mountain (3437 meters above sea level).

Geographical significance

Natural aspect

1. Qionglai mountain is located in the easternmost edge of Hengduan Mountains, with an altitude of about 4000 meters. It is roughly north-south, steep in the East and gentle in the West. Therefore, it can be considered that Qionglai mountain is one of the boundaries between the first and second steps of China (the geographical boundary between Sichuan Basin and Qinghai Tibet Plateau). 2. Qionglai mountains block the air flow from the East, so the east slope is rainy and the west slope is dry. 3. Because of the North-South trend of the mountain, it plays an important role in the flow direction of the river and becomes the watershed between the Minjiang River and the Dadu River. 4. Due to its high altitude, low latitude, obvious vertical differentiation of natural zone and complex biodiversity (such as giant panda, golden monkey, etc.).

Humanities

1. Due to its high altitude and large gap, it isolated the traffic between East and West, and thus became an important dividing line between the Han nationality and the minority nationality in ancient times. 2. The east slope is mostly for planting, and the west slope is widely for animal husbandry. 3. Due to the low terrain and easy to develop economy, the Shandong region is economically developed with more population and cities, while the western region is relatively backward with less population and city density.

brief introduction

It is located in the watershed of Minjiang River and Dadu River, the geographical and agricultural boundary between Sichuan Basin and Qinghai Tibet Plateau. From north to south, there are Bawang mountain (5551 meters above sea level), balang mountain (5072 meters above sea level), Jiajin mountain (5338 meters above sea level) and Erlang Mountain (3437 meters above sea level). The mountain is composed of granite, limestone, crystalline limestone, marble, sand slate, etc., which is resistant to weathering and erosion. The mountain has strong folds, steep peaks, and the ridge is more than 5000 meters above sea level. The main peak of Siguniang mountain is 6250 meters above sea level, which is one of the famous peaks in Sichuan. There are modern glaciers and traces of ancient glaciers in the area above 5000 meters above sea level. The mountain range is nearly north-south, steep in the East and gentle in the West. When the river cuts across the ridge, it often forms deep canyons, falls frequently, and is rich in water resources. Yuzixi hydropower station has been built. The main minerals are coal, iron, lead, zinc, copper, sulfur, asbestos and marble. The eastern slope of Qionglai is rich in rain, with an annual precipitation of 2000-2500 mm in the area of 2100-2300 meters above sea level. Because of the heavy rain and dense vegetation, it is the main producing area of border tea in China. The west slope has less cloud and fog, dry climate and sparse vegetation. The eastern part of Qionglai is an agricultural area, while the western part is a semi agricultural and semi pastoral area. Qionglai mountain is an important distribution area of Sichuan Giant Panda, golden monkey, takin and other rare animals and plants. In order to protect the above-mentioned animals and ecological environment, three nature reserves, Wolong (see Wolong Nature Reserve), Baoxing Fengtongzhai and Tianquan Labahe, covering an area of about 200000 hectares, have been set up. Jiajin mountain is the first big snow mountain that the Red Army climbed during the long march. Erlang Mountain in the south is the main road of Sichuan Tibet highway, which is the first dangerous road from Sichuan to Tibet. The highway pass is about 2890 meters above sea level.

Qionglai mountain, in the west of Sichuan Province. It stretches about 250 kilometers from north to south, with an altitude of about 4000 meters. It is the watershed between the Minjiang River and the Dadu River. The mountains are nearly north-south, steep in the East and gentle in the West. The elevation of Siguniang mountain and other peaks is more than 5600 meters. Modern glaciers are developed and distributed radially. The east side is rich in precipitation, known as "West China rain screen". The main minerals are coal, iron, lead, zinc, copper, sulfur, asbestos and marble.

Climatic characteristics

The climate in mountainous area is changeable and the temperature difference between day and night is large. It is a transitional area from the monsoon climate of middle subtropical to the climate of continental plateau. The special geographical location, climatic conditions and significant vertical height difference of Siguniang mountain provide an ideal living environment for all kinds of animals and plants. Animal and plant resources are very rich, in addition to rich in Sequoia, Taxus and other precious species, but also produce Gastrodia elata, Fritillaria, winter wormwood and other precious medicinal materials. There are no less than 60 species of mammals and 2300 species of birds. Wolong Nature Reserve, the famous hometown of giant panda, is the activity place for more than 30 kinds of national protected animals such as giant panda, golden monkey and red panda.

The main peak is Siguniang mountain

Located at the junction of Xiaojin county and Wenchuan County in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Siguniang mountain is the highest peak of Qionglai mountain system on the eastern edge of Hengduan Mountains. Siguniang mountain is composed of four continuous peaks. From north to south, it is lined up within 3.5km, with heights of 6250M, 5664m, 5454m and 5355m respectively. The four peaks are covered with ice and snow all the year round. They are like four pretty girls with white gauze on their heads. They stand on the two Milky Ways of changpinggou and Haizigou in turn. Among the four girls, Yaomei is slim and graceful. People often say "four girls" refers to the highest and most beautiful snow peak. Siguniang mountain is revered as a sacred mountain by local Tibetans. It is said that four beautiful and kind-hearted girls, in order to protect their beloved giant panda, fought bravely with the ferocious leopard, and finally became four tall and beautiful peaks, namely Siguniang mountain.

The surface of Siguniang mountain is mainly composed of Mesozoic and Paleozoic Sandstone, slate, marble, limestone and crystalline limestone. Most of these rocks are resistant to weathering and erosion, and the peaks are sharp and steep, straight into the sky. Around Siguniang mountain, there are more than 20 snow peaks covering four or five kilometers. In the east of Siguniang mountain, there is the rushing Minjiang River, and in the West there is the Dadu River, which is called "natural danger". In the valley, the climate is mild, the rainfall is abundant, the mountain flowers are everywhere, the streams are clear, the hillside is surrounded by glaciers, and the mountain top is steep and snowy.

Siguniang mountain is located in the transition zone from Western Sichuan Plateau to Chengdu Plain. Since Mesozoic, it has experienced many tectonic changes, mainly in the Indosinian movement of Triassic. The area is characterized by strong wrinkling, mountain climbing, strata metamorphism, reactivation of old faults and river undercutting. All these internal and external forces result in the complex terrain features of the great height difference between the mountains and valleys of Siguniang mountain.
