The origin of the name of Qinling Mountain

Taibai Mountain National Forest Park is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, located in Meixian County on the northern slope of Taibai Mountain, the main peak of Qinling Mountains, and named after Taibai Mountain. Taibai Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain, is a famous Taoist mountain with an altitude of 3767.4 meters. It is named after the snow on the top of the mountain is often white in winter and summer. 199 1 year, the state forestry department approved the establishment of a national forest park, which was officially opened to the public on July 22nd. 1992. Taibai Mountain National Forest Park enjoys an excellent geographical position and convenient transportation. Xi110km to the east and 90km to Baoji to the west. Xibao Expressway has a second-class tourist special line, and 3 10 National Road and Longhai Railway pass through Meixian County, connecting with Famen Temple, ancient Joo Won?, Zhougong Temple, Diaoyutai and other tourist attractions.

Taibai Mountain National Forest Park covers a total area of 2,949 hectares, with 10 scenic spots and 186 scenic spots with an altitude of 620-3,767 meters. Taibai Mountain National Forest Park takes Cangshan Qifeng as the skeleton, forest landscape as the main body, Qingxi Bitan as the vein, and cultural relics and historic sites are dotted in it, forming a vivid picture of the harmony between static landscape and dynamic landscape, and the integration of natural landscape and human landscape. Taibai Mountain is the main peak of Qinling Mountains, the dividing line between the north and south climate in China, and the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Because of its special geographical location, Taibai Mountain has formed a rich and colorful natural landscape and abundant animal and plant resources, and is known as a green pearl in western China.

The Qinling Mountains, known as Huashan in ancient times, starts from Gansu and Qinghai provinces in the west and reaches central Henan in the east, with a total length of 1.500 km and a width of 1.500 km from north to south. Qinling Mountain is a fold-mixed mountain system in the warm temperate zone of China, especially at its northern foot. Qinling Mountain is located in the southern margin of China's warm temperate zone, the northern boundary of subtropical zone, the humid plain in the east and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west. Taibai Mountain National Forest Park is located in the mountainous area with an altitude of 620-3767 meters, where there are climatic zones, flora and fauna that are unique to thousands of kilometers on the earth. From bottom to top, we can feel the changes of five climatic zones, namely warm temperate zone-temperate zone-cold temperate zone-sub-frigid zone. It's hot in summer at the foot of the mountain, and it's breezy halfway up the mountain, but it's chilly at the top of the mountain, which can be described as "four seasons in a calendar, ten miles in different days". Liu Yu, a contemporary poet, wrote, "Say goodbye to the summer heat, stay up late in winter and sleep in snow, pave the way with spring flowers and autumn leaves, and the four seasons are fleeting." Due to the cold climate at the top of Taibai Mountain, the snow does not melt all the year round, and it is flat from Guanzhong in midsummer, covered with snow and white. "Sweating, looking at the snow", so "Taibai Snow Day in June" ranks first among the "Eight Scenes in Guanzhong".

Due to the three-dimensional difference of climate, the distribution of plants has also formed a corresponding vertical band spectrum, from bottom to top: pine oak, birch, fir, larch, alpine meadow, with clear boundaries and distinct colors. With its unique climate and geological conditions, Taibai Mountain is rich in animal and plant resources and has a wide variety. There are more than 300 species of animals, 230 species of birds and 1900 species of plants in the scenic spot alone, which is known as "China Natural Zoo" and "Asian Natural Botanical Garden".

Above 3000 meters above sea level, the Quaternary glacial landforms are completely and clearly preserved, mainly including ice bucket, tinder, blade ridge, trough valley and finally waterlogged dike. Known as "natural geological museum". It is not only that material basi for studying climate change and for glaciers, but also a valuable tourist resource.

After the park was completed, Li Ruihuan, Qiao Shi, Wang Bingqian, Chen Jinhua, Zhou Tienong, Zhou, Yang Rudai, Ma, Zhang Siqing and other party and state leaders visited the park in person. 1991mid-June, * * * Comrade The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) Li Ruihuan pointed out after his inspection that "in the north of the Yangtze River, it is rare that the momentum is so great, the scenery is so beautiful, the scientific research value is so high, and it is so close to the natural landscape of big cities." With the cordial care and strong support of leaders at all levels, Taibai Mountain National Forest Park has been rated as "National Civilized Forest Park", and now it has rapidly developed into a tourist attraction integrating sightseeing, tourism, leisure, vacation, scientific research and teaching, recuperation and health care in western China.

1, Taibai Mountain Gate

Taibai Mountain has been famous since ancient times. It is said that the God of Yus lives here. Xu Xiake swam here and praised him: "So far, it is only refined, and competition is the best place." Su Shi, a writer of the Song Dynasty who is famous for his magic, visited Taibai Mountain in person during his tenure as a judge of Fengxiang House, which is reflected in his poems. The first stone tablet recorded the drought in Shaanxi in 1983. Emperor Qianlong sent Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi Province, to Taibai Mountain for rain, and the Taibai Mountain God appeared and it rained cats and dogs. Emperor Qianlong erected a thank-you monument for Taibai Mountain God.

The second stone tablet records the origin of Taibai Mountain's name as "the story of Taibai Mountain's retreat to Zen". Please see "Taibai Mountain is the main peak of Qinling Mountains, a famous historical mountain in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Taiyi in Han Dynasty, Taibai in Wei and Jin Dynasties ..." The following is the tribute of emperors and generals to Taibai Mountain.

2. Sorcerer's Stone

Across the river from the hiking road, there is a stone on the pedestal, which is a magical stone with a volume of 80 cubic meters and a weight of about 640 tons. Why is it called the philosopher's stone? The secret of it is that if you find the focus, one person can shake it. If you can't find the key point, even dozens of people can't shake it. During the period of worshipping Wu in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhu of Yongshou personally inspected this matter and wrote in his travel notes: "There are huge stones in the south of the hot springs, and it is said that there is" divine power ". When one husband shakes, he moves, and when several husbands shake, he doesn't move. Although I heard it, I didn't believe it. Because of the fruit of the husband's shaking, the name of the magical power is really deserved. " The word "magic" on the stone tablet was inscribed by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

3. Tangyu River

Tangyu River is 43.9 kilometers long, and Taibai Mountain National Forest Park Passenger Dedicated Line spirals along Tangyu River. Tangyu River falls from 620 meters to 2700 meters. The winding river is rich in trace elements such as iron, calcium, manganese, vanadium, strontium, selenium and zinc, which are beneficial to human health. Tangyu River is the melting snow water at the top of the mountain, and it is the fusion of rain water in the sky and mine water in the stratum. Meet the national standard of high-quality natural mineral water. Eating can protect health, bathing can prevent disease. Hot springs under the mountain have existed since ancient times. Surface runoff is under development.

4. Iron wall

Qinling Mountain is a typical fault orogenic mountain system, which is undoubtedly reflected in the "iron wall". At the iron wall of the copper wall, there is a huge granite rock mass, about 100 m high and about 100 m wide. The foot of the mountain is almost 90 degrees vertical, and the middle of the cliff is full of Buddha's belly. Even a small grass tree can hardly drop its seeds, and birds and squirrels can hardly settle down. It seems that agarwood is the mother, not Huashan, but better than Huashan. Even international climbers are deterred from launching an attack. The ancients said: "The iron wall stands tall. If this wall is a city, what will happen if there are heavenly soldiers? " Standing here makes people feel their own smallness and the endless tension of nature.

5. Lotus Peak:

Qinling Mountain was called Huashan Mountain in ancient times. Hua Zhe, Hua Ye. The flower is the lotus, and the lotus heart is the lotus peak on the Tangyu River, also called the Lotus River. From here, people can feel the sibling relationship between Taibai Mountain and Xiyue Huashan Mountain. With the East and West Huashan, each has its own merits. The five peaks of Huashan Mountain are shaped like five petals of lotus, but they are odorless, light and green. The lotus plumule here is hard to see because it can't be seen from the top. But in it, its fragrance and green water, its addition and dancing are not the embodiment of the lotus shape, but it can be seen from a distance and can't be played. The mountain shape around the flower core became the petals of the lotus. The waterfall in front of us is150m high. "I suspect that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." It makes people feel that "it is not Lushan Mountain, but it is better than Lushan Mountain".

6. The Three Kingdoms Ancient Plank Road:

The plank road is a kind of traffic facilities in ancient China, also known as pavilion road and Zhan Zhan pavilion. It is an artificial passage dug on the cliff of a deep mountain canyon in ancient times. It bridges the river, cuts holes in the cliff, inserts wood as a beam, and completes the upper plate, making people walk on the old horse and the road is on the cliff, like a cloud. The plank road in Qinling Mountains, the Great Wall and the Canal are also called the three major projects in China. In ancient times, due to the barrier of Qinling Mountains, the traffic between Sichuan and Shaanxi was very difficult. Li Bai lamented: "The road is difficult to pass, and the sky is difficult to enter." In order to get through the traffic between Sichuan and Shaanxi, there are many plank roads in Qinling. Zhuoshuixi in Yangxian County to Zhouzhi Luoshan is called Luo Luo Lu, Zhong Nanshan to Ankang in Xi City is called Woods Road, Lantian County to Wuguan in Danfeng County is called Wu Lan Road, and the most famous are Chencang Road and Oblique Road. This is the most important "national road" built by Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces in ancient China, and it is the largest and most widely used plank road in the history of China. "Getting on the plank road in the morning, crossing Chen Cang in the dark" has brought the function of a bifurcation to the extreme. This plank road on Tangyu River is called "Three Kingdoms Zhan", which is a branch of Sichuan-Shaanxi plank road. Founded in the Three Kingdoms, at that time, Liu Bei's counselor Fa Zheng (now a native of Balian Village, Jinqu Town, Meixian County) was well versed in history and was familiar with the terrain of the natural moat. In order to surprise him, he went out to attack Wei. He suggested that Liu Bei build a plank road here, leave a road of praise and inclination, and attack the enemy by surprise. So this plank road was built.

The plank road we see now was restored by 1997 Forest Park on the original site of the original plank road. When repairing, the original plank road cave will be drilled in, reinforced with auxiliary beams, and then wooden boards will be set up. Be sure to repair the old as before and reproduce the style of the ancient plank road. In 2002, CCTV's "Military World" program featured "The ancient battlefield of the past, the tourist attraction of today".

The total length of the restored plank road is 1 100 meters, which is beautiful to walk on. Looking up at the cliff, looking down at the canyon. Looking around, it is lush. There is only a glimmer of light overhead, and you can see the rising moon. Compared with today, the ancient water was more turbulent. Standing on the plank road, beauty and danger coexist. It is not easy to think about the ancients starting a business, and it is not easy to think about the victory of the motherland.

7. Open the sky and close it.

Kaitianguan was named after Li Bai climbed Taibai Peak. In his poem, he said, "Taibai Mountain is in the west, and the setting sun is poor. Taibai spoke to me and opened the sky for me. " I would like to ride the cold wind and go straight out of the clouds. I can raise my hand to get close to the moon. If there is no mountain to move forward, I will bid farewell to martial arts. When can I see you again? "Walking out of the 18-mile Nine-Nine Gorge Scenic Area, heaven and earth suddenly became enlightened, and the poet was ambitious. Li Bai came here and ended the "dark life" in the mountains where he had not seen the sun, moon and stars for a long time. Eyes suddenly enlightened, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sky is clear and Wan Li. From the heavy mountain to the bright future, it seems that someone suddenly turned on the switch of yin and yang of heaven and earth, making people ascend to heaven step by step. The poet was so happy that he wanted to pull the wind out of the clouds and raise his hand to pick the moon. This joy is indescribable. The poet's greatest wish is to keep this feeling for a long time. So he suddenly thought, if you go further, you will leave the Qinling Mountains. So when can you have such a peak experience? The poet was very disappointed. Every tourist who comes here to eulogize this poem and watch this scene has this feeling.

Go up to Xiaban Temple, take a cableway from Xiaban Temple to Shangban Temple, and you can watch the sunrise from a distance, overlook the Taibai snow scene and overlook the illusory sea of clouds, which makes people feel like they are in a painting scene. If it rains in summer and autumn, you can also see the colorful halo called "Taibai Baoguang", which adds a bit of mystery to it. Further up, you will enter the undeveloped Taibai Mountain Scenic Area. If you are interested, you can climb up and enjoy the remains left by the fourth season glaciers. But we must be fully prepared, pay attention to safety, and go hand in hand.
