On this day, we will visit Huashan Mountain, which is known as "stone
forlotus and cloud for platform". Huashan, also known as Taihua mountain,
islocated in the south of Huayin City, 120 kilometers east of Xi'an city.
Huashan Mountain, known as Xiyue in ancient times, is one of the
fivemountains in China. It is named Huashan Mountain because its peaks are
naturallyarranged like flowers. In December 1992, Huishan was rated as one of
the top 40scenic spots in China. Even friends who have never been to Huashan
will learnabout the situation of Huashan from some funny myths and anecdotes,
such as "aroad to Huashan since ancient times", "fairy palm of Huayue", "aloes
splittingmountain to save mother", "Huashan discussing sword", and modern
wisdom tocapture Huashan. These Beautiful myths and stories reflect people's
yearning andworship for Huashan since ancient times.
South China mountain overlooks the Yellow River in the north and
QinlingMountains in the south. It is known as "Huashan ruli". The whole
mountain hassimple lines, such as knife cutting and axe splitting. The unique
peaks areabrupt and majestic. It is known as "the most dangerous mountain in
theworld".
When it comes to strangeness, it is made up of a huge and complete piece
ofgranite. The ancients said, "it's not strange that there are no stones in
themountain, it's not strange that there are no pure stones." "Huashan is cut
intofour directions, its width is ten li, its height is five thousand Ren, one
stoneis also called" Daqi ". Huashan has five main peaks, among which the
East, Westand South peaks are the highest, and the three peaks stand in
opposition,"flying out of the clouds and falling into the Yellow River", known
as "threepeaks outside the sky". When it comes to danger, the "Changkong plank
road"erected in the air, the "Quanzhen rock" engraved on the overhanging rock,
the"Yaozi turning over" with three sides of the air, the "Yaozi turning over"
withconvex top and concave bottom, and the "qianchitong", "baichixia",
"Laojunfurrow", "chaerya" and "canglongling" dug on the overhanging rock of
the cliffare all extremely dangerous. "Huashan has been a road since ancient
times.".There is only a north-south line of roads in the mountains, about 10
kilometerslong, winding and rugged. In many places, it can be said that "one
man is incharge of the pass, ten thousand men are not allowed to open.".
Huashan not only has magnificent natural landscape, but also has
richhistorical and cultural accumulation, and cultural landscape is
everywhere.Along the way up and down the mountain and along the Valley Road,
inscriptions,poems and stone carvings will make people linger.
My friends, what we are here now is yuquanyuan. It is said that because
thespring water there is connected with the jade well on the top of the
mountain,the water quality is pure and sweet, so it is called "yuquanyuan". It
is theonly way to climb Mount Hua. It is said that it was built by Chen Tuan,
