geographical environment

As for the name of Erlong mountain, the original name of Erlong mountain in Taiyuan is cracked rock mountain. Cracked rock mountain was originally a stone mountain with layered blocks and sparse vegetation. In the early years, people from Lan village circled sheep on the mountain, also known as sheep pen mountain. Later, in the period of the Republic of China, it was said that two brothers surnamed Zhang decided to plant trees on the mountain to change the lack of shelter in the village. Every day they went up to the mountain to dig a pit for watering, planted pines and cypresses, and the trees gradually became shady. People boast that the brothers are two dragons. In memory of their contribution to greening, they changed their name to Erlong mountain.

When they came to the top of the mountain and Yan Xishan asked what the name of the mountain was, Zhang Weiqing was afraid that the name of Yangquan mountain was not elegant. In order to please his superiors, he immediately called it "Erlong mountain", implying that Yan Xishan and kerosene King were two dragons Since then, the name of "Erlong mountain" has naturally been handed down.
