Jiecheng mountain is a famous mountain in Chinese history

Located in the southwest of Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, it covers an area of 20 square kilometers, forming a typical karst landform 2.5 million years ago. The main peak is shengwangping, 1889.5 meters above sea level, facing the famous shunwangping in Zhongtiao Mountain from east to west, so it is also called Dongping. The main peak is like a city on all sides, and the depression in the middle is like a basin. There are East, West, South and north gates for analysis, so it is called analytical city.

According to Yu Gong, the earliest famous geographical work in China, daohukou and leishou are as follows: Taiyue; Baizhu and Jiecheng are as follows: Wangwu; Taihang and Hengshan are as follows: Jieshi. It can be seen that the name of Jiecheng mountain is very ancient, almost accompanied by the history of Chinese civilization.

The surface area of Jiecheng mountain is 8.516 square kilometers of subalpine meadow. There are a large number of karst caves and underground rivers underground. It is the best preserved closed karst depression with certain scientific research value in North China. It is a very precious and non renewable geological natural heritage.

Wang Guowei, a great master of Chinese culture in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, also wrote in the book of Chronicles: in the twenty-four years of Shang and Tang Dynasties, when there was a great drought, Wang prayed in the mulberry forest and rain. "Where is sang Lin? Shanxi Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty said: "Sanglin water is the east foot of Jiecheng. "Yangcheng County was called Hongze in ancient times, and it is said that Jiecheng mountain was the place where King Tang prayed for rain. For thousands of years, the official worship and people's Prayer between Jin and Henan have been burning.

Historical records

Jiecheng mountain is also known as Jiejin mountain, shengwangping and Dongping. Located 30 kilometers southwest of Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, with an area of 20 square kilometers, the main peak is 1888 meters above sea level, forming a typical karst landform 2.5 million years ago. The surrounding cliffs are like a city, and the depression in the middle is like a basin. There are East, West, South and north gates for analysis, so it is called analytical city. Old records: the top of the mountain is flat, and its surrounding is like a city. There are four gates in the East, West, North and south, so it is named.

The surface area of Jiecheng mountain is 8.516 square kilometers of subalpine meadow. There are a large number of karst caves and underground rivers underground. It is the best preserved closed karst depression with certain scientific research value in North China. It is a very precious and non renewable geological natural heritage.

Jiecheng is an ancient famous mountain in China. Yugong, the earliest geographical classic in China, records that when Dayu was harnessing water, he guided mountains and rivers from west to east along the mountains, passed through the pillars, analyzed the city, as for Wangwu, Taihang, Hengshan, and Jieshi. It can be seen that the name of Jiecheng mountain is very ancient, almost accompanied by the history of Chinese civilization.

Analysis of the three gates of the Yellow River in the west, the mainstay, East Wangwu Taihang, pull up from the Central Plains, across the North Bank of the river, overlooking the Central Plains. Ancient Chinese cities: the capital of Xia, the capital of Shang, the capital of Xihao, and the capital of Zhou, the capital of Luoyi. Standing on the Bank of the Yellow River, looking up to the king's house and analyzing the city, you can see that under the blue sky and among the peaks, it is the village of yunwo and Wuxiang, the source of Jishui, the palace of King Tang, and the junction of heaven and earth.

Wang Guowei, a great master of Chinese culture in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, wrote in his book the chronicles of this book: "in the twenty-four years of Shangtang, there was a great drought. Wang prayed in the mulberry forest and the rain." Where is sang Lin? Shanxi Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty said: "Sanglin water is the east foot of Daoyuan Jiecheng." Yangcheng County was called Hongze in ancient times, and it is said that Jiecheng mountain was the place where King Tang prayed for rain. For thousands of years, the official worship and people's Prayer between Jin and Henan have been burning.

As a famous mountain in Chinese history, Jiecheng mountain is also the place where Shangtang prays for rain. It is recorded in many ancient books, such as Yugong, Hanshu, qingshigao, zezhoufuzhi, etc.

Geomorphological features

Jiecheng mountain is a typical karst geological landform, with large and small limestone karst funnels all over the plateau. There are 72 Dulong nests, 124 ghost mills and 360 small iron pots among the people. There are many caves on the hillside. The largest cave, the old cave, can hold more than ten thousand people. Every time there is rainfall, except Niangniang pool, the rest of the rainwater seeps into the ground along the "funnel". Authoritative geological experts speculate that pingxia may be a big fish farm. In the autumn of 1977, after several days of continuous rain, the spring water of Shuitou spring at the root of Jiecheng mountain rose more than 2 meters, and hundreds of blind fish jumped out of the spring. The whole body of the blind fish was transparent, the big one was more than feet, and the small one was about inches. This spectacle lasted for more than one day.

Geography

Jiecheng mountain is a famous mountain in China

The mountain trend is north-south. The main peak is 1888 meters above sea level. "The mountain peak is surrounded by four gates, East, West, South and North, so it's called Jiecheng" (Mingyang Chengzhi). The mountain surface of Jiecheng is a subalpine meadow, with a total area of 8.516 square kilometers and a total area of 12710 mu. The soil cover thickness is generally about 20cm.

The Ordovician karst landscape in Jiecheng mountain was formed by many strong orogenic movements in the long geological history of the earth. As early as 480 million years ago, this area was still a vast ocean, and a set of soluble carbonate rocks with a thickness of about 450 m were deposited. Later, affected by Caledonian orogeny, the area rose as a whole to form high mountains, and then suffered weathering, denudation and dissolution for a long time. Due to the influence of Yanshan movement, folds and faults occurred in the region. With the uplift of the ancient Taihang Mountains, the mountains such as the Jiecheng mountain in the south of the county were uplifted again. By the Himalayan orogeny in the Tertiary period, the mountains such as Jiecheng mountain continued to rise again, forming the present karst landscape under the condition of long-term hot and humid climate and abundant rainfall.

This paper analyzes the karst landscape of Chengshan mountain after it was uplifted by orogeny (another view is the formation of glaciation). At present, it is a well preserved Alpine karst depression with certain scientific research value in North China. It is the only karst geological relic and karst landform landscape in northern China. It not only has the scientific research value of karst geology, but also has high aesthetic value.

As a whole, the scenic spot is a typical karst landscape with various types and peculiar shapes. Jiecheng mountain in Jincheng is a rare natural museum of karst landform in North China. There are many kinds of karst landscapes in Jiecheng mountain of Jincheng, such as many natural stone tables and rock sheds formed by karst hills in Highland limestone. E the types are karst depression, solitary peak and residual hill, karst lake, underground river, funnel, skylight, sinkhole, Tianshengqiao, karst cave, stone bud, karst ditch, etc. The soil and vegetation types of Jiecheng mountain in Jincheng are quite different due to the great natural differences between the inside and outside of shengwangping. The soil type in Shengwang Ping of Chengshan mountain belongs to mountain meadow soil; the soil outside Shengwang Ping is mainly mountain leaching cinnamon soil and mountain cinnamon soil.

Heilong cave is the largest limestone cave at the top of the mountain. There should be more large-scale karst caves under Chengshan, which need to be developed. There are 72 "small iron pots", 124 "ghost mills" and 360 "dragon nests" on the mountain. Heilongdong is close to the Yellow River and its source is like the East China Sea. Niangniangchi is the only high mountain lake in Xicheng mountain, with a surface area of 7600 square meters.

There are more than 350 kinds of woody plants in the mountain. Because the climate belongs to the transition zone between subtropical zone and warm temperate zone, there are both subtropical plant species and most warm temperate plant species in the vegetation around Jiecheng mountain, which makes the plant spectrum here extremely rich. And then created conditions for the survival of a large number of plants, and became the area with the largest number of animal species in Shanxi Province. The reasonable development of the city can not only give full play to its tourism value, but also provide convenience for geological research.

History and culture

Jiecheng mountain is one of the most ancient historical and cultural mountains in China, which has a very strong historical and cultural accumulation. It is recorded in classic documents such as Shangshu Yugong, Hanshu, shuijingzhu, and Jinshu. Geographer written by Fang Xuanling in Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, the heyday of Jiecheng mountain should be in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Analytical City mountain: "the mountain peak is surrounded by four gates, East, West, South and North, so it is called analytical city". The forest vegetation coverage rate is more than 90%, and the mountain and water are beautiful, so it has the reputation of "northern Zhangjiajie". "Bamboo forest Chronicle" records: "Shangtang 24 years drought, Wang pray in Sanglin (analysis City mountain)", so it is also known as shengwangping. At an altitude of 1889.5 meters, it is one of the few subalpine meadows in Shanxi Province.

The popularity of Chengshan in history depends more on the legend of Shangtang praying for rain. This is described and deduced in detail in various documents. For example, Wang Guowei's "this Bamboo Annals Shuzheng" records: "twenty four years, drought. The king prayed for the mulberry forest and the rain. Twenty five years ago, he made the music of "Da Zhe." Where is sang Lin. "Shanxi Tongzhi" in Qing Dynasty said: "Sanglin water is the east foot of Daoyuan Jiecheng." It can be proved.

The ruins of the mountain temple

They are located in the East, West and South Gate of the city.

Four gates of Kunlun

(Warring States period) Qu Yuan's "songs of Chu Tian Wen" said: "where is Kunlun Xuanpu? Zengcheng jiuzhong, how high is it? Who is the gate of the four directions? How can the northwest open up? "
