The legend of the origin of this name

There have been many legends about mountains since ancient times, and Alishan is no exception. Its legend is equally vivid and charming.

One day long, long ago, a Gaoshan leader named Abari came to a mountain he had never been to in order to chase a white deer. Just when he was in a hurry, suddenly the white deer disappeared, but in front of him was a big mountain forest filled with mist and flowers. He was attracted by the charming scenery, and the rich products here fascinated him even more. He thinks the family has a good place to live. So, he called the people of the tribe and opened this mountain forest into a new hunting ground.

However, just as they were intoxicated with the harvest brought by the new hunting ground, they angered the two dragons here. The dragon's ability is great. As soon as they snored, the wind suddenly roared and scared away the birds and animals. As soon as the dragon spurted out, it was filled with fog, which made people confused the southeast and northwest. This has brought disaster to the Gaoshan people who want to live a stable life.

Abari see in the eye in the heart, he is determined to fight the dragon. So, he led a group of young people in the tribe to dance knives and practice arrows in the mountains every day, and learned a good martial arts.

One night, a group of young people who vowed to fight the dragon to the end came down to the top of the mountain under the leadership of Abari, waiting for the arrival of the dragon. The next morning, the morning star had just risen from the east, and only the sky was whirring. In a blink of an eye, two dragons were walking in clouds and roaring in tandem. Abari saw the dragon only a hundred paces away from them. Suddenly, he pulled up the bowstring and saw a golden light pointing straight at the evil dragonfly ahead. Then, the boys' sharp arrows also shot at the dragon together. The injured dragon turned his head and ran away. Before the dragon behind could react, its long and big tail was caught in the dense trees. At that moment, Abari pulled out his broadsword like lightning, and rushed forward one step, only to hear a "click" sound, and the beaten end was cut off. The two dragons never dared to go up the mountain to do evil again. In order to show respect for their brave leader, Gaoshan compatriots named this mountain Alishan.

There is another legend:

Once upon a time, there were no flowers, trees, birds and animals on Ali Mountain, which was called Bald Mountain. There lived a young hunter named Ali on the bald mountain. One day, he went hunting in Beishan and rescued two girls and a peacock from the tiger's mouth. These two girls are heavenly fairies. They sneaked here with peacocks to see the scenery, only to meet a tiger. Thanks to Ali, they were saved. But escaped the tiger's bullet, but failed to fool Wang Di. Because of the private surrender, the five emperors sent the old birthday star to arrest him and returned to the heavenly palace to plead guilty. In order to save two girls, Ali did not hesitate to offend the well-connected jade emperor, took the leading crutch of the old birthday girl and drove him away.

The Jade Emperor was really angry and ordered Thor to burn the creatures in the Tushan area with thunder. The two fairies advised Ali to run away quickly, but Ali ignored the two fairies and climbed to the top of the bald mountain. At this time, Thor just came to the sky on the bald mountain. Ali shouted to Thor: "Thor, I beat the old birthday girl away, and I spared the two little fairies. It's my fault, not someone else's! " Your thunder will burn on me! "Without further ado, Raytheon raised his thunder drill and lightning, and shot earth-shattering thunder at Ali. Ali was beaten to pieces, and the surrounding mountains were ablaze. Because the mountain was bare, Lei Ren went out before he got halfway up the mountain.

Although Ali was killed by a thunder man, flowers and trees have grown everywhere on this bare mountain since then. People say: these flowers, plants and trees were all bought by Ali's flesh and blood. The Shenmu tree on Ali Mountain was bought with the crutches of the old birthday girl. The two fairies were moved by Ali's feat of sacrificing himself for others. Despite the persuasion of the five emperors, they resolutely stayed with Ali and became the green sister pool of the two rivers, always accompanying Ali. And that peacock became a stream flowing around Ali.

A few young people who are brave in dedication have left beautiful scenery for the world. In memory of Ali, people renamed this green hill Ali Mountain.

Other legends

Originally, at the foot of Mount Ali in central Taiwan Province, there lived an old man named Dong. One day, he walked to the stream and saw a round egg in the green grass. There were nine colorful patterns on the eggshell. He thought: This egg may be a phoenix egg. As the saying goes, there is a phoenix at home, and the hall is full of happiness. So he went home with an egg in his hand, and it happened that the goose at home was "holding the egg" in its nest, so Dong put the egg under the goose's stomach.

The goose has been hatched for a month, and all five goslings have broken their shells. They are yellow, furry and very cute. Nine days later, the eggs also broke. The old man looked forward to the phoenix with all his heart, but it was a small snake that hatched. Adong's old man is soft-hearted He believes that snakes are small creatures and should be kept. He keeps the snake in a earthen pot and feeds it with tadpoles and aphids every day. The little snake grows too fast to hold the pottery bowl soon. So the old man took it into a big water tank again. A few days later, the snake grew two horns on its head, many beards on its mouth and colorful scales on its body. Ah! So this is a dragon! Xiaolong dances in the water tank, which is very cute. Old Dong is happier.

The dragon grows up day by day, and the water tank can't hold it. The old man took it to the pond behind the house. When the dragon came to the pond, it became more active It stirs the body and always wants to jump out of the water. In order to make it eat well, the old man bought it pig blood to feed. The dragon's appetite was so great that he drank all the pig's blood in a few bites. He raised his upper body and nodded to the old man, meaning: Thank you, Grandpa! The old man shook his beard and smiled.

The dragon is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no room in the pond. The old man Adong said to Dalong, "Dalong, you can live in the cave under Alishan. I buy you pig blood every day. " The dragon nodded, climbed out of the pond and slipped into the cave at the foot of the mountain to live. There is a blind grandmother in the village next door, with only a little granddaughter beside her. One day, when the little girl wore a red dress and passed by the entrance of the cave where Long lived, Long mistakenly thought that it was pig blood sent by Dong Laotou, stuck his head out of the cave and swallowed the little girl in one gulp.

Adong's old man was very angry when he found out. He picked up a kitchen knife and rushed into the hole. He shouted, "You ungrateful dragon, you have committed a great crime. You ate blind grandma's little granddaughter. How will the blind grandmother live in the future? " You stick out your tail, and I'll cut off your tail to punish you! "The dragon knew that he had done something wrong and had to stretch out his tail. Old Dong cut off the dragon's tail with one knife. Long Wei jumped and jumped to the East China Sea with blood.

Reluctantly, the dragon continued to listen to the old man's exhortation: "If you ate someone, I would have hacked you to death. I will give my life back." However, no one takes care of your grandmother. In the future, you should take good care of grandma and let the old people live a good old age. You must not be lazy! "The dragon whose tail was cut off became a bald-tailed dragon, but it could talk instead. It climbed to the blind grandmother's door and kowtowed again and again, saying, "Grandma, I will be your son from now on, and I will call you Mom. "Damn, I was wrong! Your little granddaughter walked past my cave entrance in a red dress. I mistakenly thought it was pig blood sent by Dong's father, so I swallowed it in one gulp. Old Dong has punished me; He cut off my tail and I became a bald-tailed dragon. Mom, I will take care of you all my life.

I don't think I can steal other people's chicken and duck food for you, nor can I send you flowers with other people's gold and silver. I'm going to get some gold and silver from the seaside and put them in a big and deep cave behind my house. You go to the cave to get gold and silver, let the villagers buy rice for you to eat, and buy cloth for others to make clothes for you. If you need me, just knock on the copper basin with a wooden stick. Mom, I know you can still see something in your eyes. You raise your crutch and take out the gold and silver from the hole. You raised your crutch and asked the villagers to help you. They will help you. Mom, you must never tell anyone about the gold and silver in the cave behind the house, in case the bad guys steal it. Mom, you can enjoy your old age! "

Blind grandma heard that her little granddaughter was eaten by a dragon, and she was heartbroken and wanted to kill the dragon. Her tears flowed out, and she shed three pots. Listening to the dragon's confession, it is another cry of left mother and right mother. Her heart softened again. The old man punished Dong with a hand. The little granddaughter died and could not be resurrected. The dragon is willing to be a son to take care of himself, so the grandmother stopped crying. She wiped her tears and said, "Let's live a good life, son."

In this way, the bald-tailed dragon got into the bottom of the sea every day, fished up gold and silver, came to the foot of Alishan and hid in the cave behind grandma's house. There is a kind little girl in the village who volunteered to take care of her grandmother. She knows nothing about gold and silver. So grandma lived comfortably in her later years.

Bald-tailed dragons go to the sea to get gold and silver every day. The big and deep cave behind the blind grandmother's house is filled with tens of thousands of gold and silver. Every time, the old woman quietly helped herself with the gold and silver, keeping it from the little girl for fear that she would tell the bad guys. The blind grandmother is getting older and older. The bald-tailed dragon said, "Mom, Mazu in heaven asked me to go to heaven to guard the gate of the Heavenly Palace for her. Sit on my back and go to the heavenly palace. When I arrived in Tiangong, I was bright and healthy. " The blind grandmother said,' The little girl takes good care of me, and I can't bear to leave her. "The bald-tailed dragon said," Take her to the Heavenly Palace, too. "

As soon as the bald tail of the bald-tailed dragon swept to Ali Mountain, the deep hole behind the blind grandmother's house was covered with stones and mud. The blind grandmother rode a little girl on the waist of the bald-tailed dragon, flew into the sky, crossed the white clouds and entered the Heavenly Palace. The gold and silver in the deep hole behind the blind grandmother's house was taken from the bottom of the sea by the bald-tailed dragon, so it was stained with a lot of dragon saliva. Gold and silver gradually expanded, and the originally low Alishan was arched high, becoming a long, big and high mountain in the center of Taiwan Province Province. There is also a folk song circulating here: there is a bubble in Longshan with a bald tail, and there is a lot of gold in Alishan. Dig the hillside with a hoe, and the small hoe is nothing!

Alishan is listed as one of the scenic spots in Taiwan Province Province, and its beautiful scenery has long been praised. Therefore, there is a saying that "if you don't reach Alishan, you don't know its beauty, its wealth and its greatness". Due to the mild climate in mountainous areas, it is still refreshing and pleasant in midsummer, with lush trees, making it the most ideal summer resort in Taiwan Province Province. The spatial distance of Alishan Mountain is only 15 km, but the railway circling from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is 72 km long, connecting branches of various forest areas, with a total length exceeding 1000 km. There are 82 tunnels along the way, the longest of which is1300m. The train passes through forest areas with different hot, sub-hot, warm and cold zones.

The railway in Alishan can be called "Five Wonders" together with the "Four Scenes of Ali" (sunrise, sea of clouds, sunset glow and forest). The total length of the railway is 72 kilometers, but it rises from 30 meters above sea level to 2450 meters, and the world of slope is rare. The train climbed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and seemed to spiral up along the "spiral staircase", drilling a tunnel around the mountain and crossing the valley. Birds flew under the train wheels. On the way up the mountain, from tall and straight tropical ancient trees such as eucalyptus, coconut and betel nut, to subtropical broad-leaved trees such as camphor tree, Phoebe bournei and Zelkova schneideriana, and then to dense temperate conifers such as Sabina vulgaris, Sabina vulgaris, Subpolar and Song Ji, the frigid forest is dominated by cold poles when it reaches more than 3000 meters. These strange trees converge into a green ocean on Mount Ali. When the mountain wind blows strongly, the mountain forest is like stormy waves, thunder and lightning, forming the famous Lin Tao of Alishan.

After the opening of Xinzhongheng Highway 199 1, Alishan Forest Recreation Area and Yushan National Park are connected in series, becoming a new tourist route.

What is produced here is rare high-grade building wood in the world, such as Taiwania flousiana, hemlock, red lacquer, Platycladus orientalis and Song Ji, which is called "ebony" as a specialty of Alishan. In the spring of March, Alishan turned into a gorgeous cherry orchard. The cherry blossoms here are well-known at home and abroad, and they are listed as the flower season from February to April every year, and tourists who climb mountains and enjoy cherry blossoms are in an endless stream. There is an alpine museum on the hill, displaying all kinds of exotic trees. There are hundreds of tropical, temperate and frigid plants in the Alpine Botanical Garden.

On a sunny dawn, it is really a pleasure to climb the Tashan of Alishan to see the sea of clouds. Tourists only see the vast sea of clouds, which is changing rapidly. Sometimes it rises from the valley like an undulating ice peak, and sometimes it falls from the sky like a rough sea. No wonder the sea of clouds in Alishan is one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan. The place to watch the sunrise is Zhushan. Zhushan is second only to Tashan, with an altitude of 2480 meters. The night gradually receded and the sky was as white as a fish's belly. After crossing Zhushan, there are traces of Xia Hong, which gradually become an arc, a semicircle and a big semicircle, becoming more and more red and brighter. A red sun first rises from the cloud beach and then emerges from the top of the mountain. It is radiant and a landscape.

Alishan is listed as one of the scenic spots in Taiwan Province Province, and its beautiful scenery has long been praised.

Most forest recreation areas belong to mountainous terrain. If you look down from Datashan Mountain, you can find a gentle slope on the west side, and steep cliffs on the east side of Zhushan Mountain and Duigouyue Ridge, with steep terrain, separated by Shexi and Tataga. Xiaotashan is also a cliff terrain. Alishan River flows into Qingshui River in the northwest and into the upper reaches of Zengwen River in the valley of Alishan Highway in the south. 1996 typhoon "Hebo" caused a single-day rainfall of1095mm, causing debris flow disasters in the lower reaches of three streams. Comparing the meteorological data over the years, it is not an exaggeration to call Alishan "Rain Mountain". Because the alpine environment is located in the temperate climate, the climate of Alishan is similar in four seasons, with an average temperature of 10.8 degrees Celsius, and the coldest day in winter reaches MINUS 3 degrees. It is a famous summer resort.

Alishan, Taiping Mountain and Baxian Mountain are three major forest farms, and together with Yushan Mountain, they are the scheduled locations of Niualishan National Park. The forest, mountaineering railway, sunrise, sea of clouds and sunset glow of Alishan are collectively called the five wonders of Alishan. 1927, Alishan was rated as one of the eight scenic spots in Taiwan by Taiwan Province Daily (12 wins and 2 losses excepted). 1953, Taiwan Province Federation of Literary and Art Circles selected Alishan Sea of Clouds as the eight scenic spots in Taiwan. 1996 Taiwan Province Provincial Tourism Bureau handled the new edition of 12 scenic spots in Taiwan Province Province, and Alishan won the second place (the first place was elected by referendum). In 2006, the Information Bureau of the Executive Yuan held an image poll of Taiwan Province Province (written and online), and Alishan won the second place in the scenery (the first place was Yushan), which shows that Alishan's position has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At present, thousands of plants are planted in the forest recreation area, such as Yoshino Sakura and double-petal cherry blossoms. In addition to cherry blossoms, different plants bloom in all seasons, making Alishan a colorful and dazzling world. Shenmu, known as the spiritual landmark of Alishan, fell on July 1 July/9971day, and a new giant wood group took shape. At present, there is a giant plank road in the second area of the recreation area, and there are more than four green red and cypress trees in the whole Alishan area. In addition to the giant plank road, the Forestry Bureau also rebuilt the Gaoyue Forest Bath Trail, Tashan Mountain Climbing Trail and Hunting Trail from Shuishan Branch of Zizhong-Laos Railway to Tefoye.

Alishan Forest Recreation Area belongs to Chiayi County, about 75 kilometers east of Chiayi City, bordering Yushan and Yushan National Park in the east, Jianan Plain in the west and Nantou County in the north. Alishan consists of eighteen mountains, including Jianlun Mountain, Zhushan Mountain, Duigouyue Mountain, Datashan Mountain and Tashan Mountain, with a total area of 39,650 hectares. Surrounded by mountains and mountains, the situation is magnificent. There are many valleys nearby, including Heshe River in the north, Qingshui River in the northwest and Zengwen River in the southwest.

Because most of the valleys are formed by cliffs everywhere, such as Tashan Mountain and Duigaoyue Mountain, the overlapping terrain of the mountains is steep, the rainfall is abundant, the natural environment is unique, and the trees grow into giant forests.

Mosquito control is the best place for recuperation and summer vacation in Taiwan Province Province. Thousands of plants, such as Yoshino Sakura and double cherry blossoms, were planted in the park, which was named Niigata Alishan National Park during the Japanese occupation.

Purple smoke floats at sunrise, and the girl waits under the window.

Brothers waiting to return from hunting.

Bitan green island, lovesickness is like day.

The moon string is full when it is sent.

People are very thin

Hey, Yushan is as forgetful as snow.

Well, Mingxi is lighter than Peasants East.

Alas, my hands are full of needlework.

Hey, looking forward to the youth in the forest.

The girls in Alishan are as beautiful as water.

Teenagers in Alishan are as strong as mountains.

Ah-

The girls in Alishan are as beautiful as water.

Teenagers in Alishan are as strong as mountains.

The flowers in Alishan have been in bloom for more than half a month.

Girls like water also stopped weaving and embroidering.

Yi is waiting for her brother at the window. cough

A boy in Alishan has a sword hanging around his waist.

Never give it back when you've hunted enough.

Panshan girl told me to stretch like a mountain.

Where is the most delicate flower?

Dedicated to her.

Hey, the grass steps over the colorful clouds.

Hey, there's nobody in the mountains.

Hey, Mrs. Russo is everywhere in the morning.

Hey, she's covered in red flowers.

Gao Shanqing Jianshui Blue

Girls and boys will never be separated.

Clear water grows around the green hills.

Ah-

Girls and boys will never be separated.

Clear water grows around the green hills.

The flowers in Alishan have been in bloom for more than half a month.

Tomorrow, the yellow rice will ripen and the maple leaves will fall.

Looking for the most beautiful flowers, my sister coughed in her hand.

The mountains are evergreen and the water is blue.

The girls in Alishan are as beautiful as water.

Teenagers in Alishan are as strong as mountains.

Ah-

Girls and boys will never be separated.

Clear water grows around the green hills.
