Tianzhu Mountain, Anqing City, Anhui Province buried hill The mountainous area in the west of the city is also known as Qianshan, Wanshan, Wangong Mountain (the abbreviation of Anhui Province is "Wan"), Wansui Mountain, Wanshan, etc. by Dabie Mountain A component part (or residual vein) of the eastward extension of the mountain range. Generally, it refers to the mountain area centered on its main peak, Tianzhu Peak, in Qianshan City. Sometimes, it also refers to its main peak, Tianzhu Peak (geographic coordinates 116 ° 27 ′ E, 30 ° 43 ′ N). According to the aerial survey in 1980, the elevation of the main peak was 1488.4 meters, [1] In 2008, the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping re measured 1489.8 meters. [2]
Tianzhu Mountain presents strange peaks, strange rocks, secluded caves, canyons and other natural landscapes, and is famous for its majesty, strangeness, spirituality and beauty. The vegetation in Tianzhu Mountain is luxuriant, and the forest coverage rate is as high as 97%. The negative oxygen ion, which enjoys the reputation of "air vitamin", is three times the national highest level I standard. Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, praised in his poem titled Tianzhu Peak: "The Tianzhu Peak holds the sun and the moon, and the cave door locks the clouds and thunder.
Tianzhu Mountain has the only ultra-high pressure metamorphic belt in China, the largest exposed area and the deepest exposure in the world. Especially, it is praised by geologists as the most beautiful granite landform in the world and also known as the "leaker of the earth" for its collapse heap landform. Writers describe it as "mountain jungle" and "stone palace". In September 2011, it was officially approved by UNESCO as the World Geopark.
Tianzhu Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in Anhui Province due to its unique natural landscape( Mount Huangshan Jiuhua Mountain Tianzhu Mountain). As early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was named "Nanyue", and there were humanistic activities in all dynasties. After the founding of the People's Republic of China Anqing Tianzhu Mountain Scenic Area It has successively won the titles of National Key Scenic Area, National Natural and Cultural Heritage Site, National Forest Park, National AAAAA Tourist Attraction, etc. [3]

In ancient times, because the pillar of heaven was hidden in a cluster of mountains, one peak was towering, and thousands of rocks and ravines were large and small, all around the arch worship. So in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the mountain was called "Huoshan". [4] The main peak of Tianzhu Mountain is 1489.8 meters above sea level. It is towering and towering, towering into the sky, like a pillar of the sky, so it has the name of Tianzhu, and because it is hidden in the mountains (also: Qian, the ancient hairpin, the shape of "sharp" also, meaning that Tianzhu Mountain is mostly pointed, so the mountain is also called buried hill, and has the synonym of single tip, bamboo shoot tip). [4] ), also known as buried hill and Wanshan. [5] The name of Wanshan also said that because the Han Dynasty granted Nanyue, it was also called Wansui Mountain. "The county is named after the mountain, and the mountain is named after the hidden mountain" (the old "Qianshan Annals"). In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Zhou Dynasty set up the State of Anhui here, and granted the official of Wanbo to govern Anhui. Tianzhu Mountain belongs to Wanbo fiefdom, so it is also called Wanshan. Wangong Mountain is also called Wangong Mountain in order to celebrate the good governance of Wanbo doctors and the good governance of Anhui. As a result, Anhui became the abbreviation of Anhui Province. [4]

Tianzhu Peak, referred to as the main peak. In 2008, the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping re measured 1489.8 meters. [2] According to the aerial survey in 1980, the elevation of the main peak was 1488.4 meters, [1] In 2008, the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping re measured 1489.8 meters. [2] In the deep mountains about 30 kilometers west of Qianshan City. Redords of the Grand History of China 》、《 The History of the Han Dynasty 》It is recorded. It seems to be separated from the surrounding hills but connected with each other. It has been pulled up for more than 500 meters like a bamboo shoot. Zhongfeng is extremely sharp, with a waist circumference of about 1.5km. The whole body is made of stone bones, such as steel cones, stone pillars, green lotus flowers, jade hibiscus, heaven piercing sword, and giant arms. The south wall of the peak is inscribed with eight large characters of about two square meters, namely, Li Yunlin, the Qing Dynasty's Xianfeng Dutong, "isolate the sky" and Zhang Gan, the Kuomintang's deputy commander of the Fifth Anti Japanese War Zone, "a pillar in the middle of the sky"; On the southwest wall of the peak waist is inscribed Zhang Yichun, the commander of the 21st Army Group of the Kuomintang in the 29th year of the Republic of China, with four characters of "standing tall and upright" covering nearly 1 square meter. These inscriptions are wonderful descriptions of the peculiar shape of the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain. In Daoshu, Tianzhu Peak is the birthplace of Siming Zhenjun, which is called "Siming Peak". When the sun rises, the rays of the sun first shine on the top of Tianzhu Peak, which is called "Chaoyang Peak". In ancient times, the buried hill was the dependency of Wanbo, and this peak was a mountain town, which was called "Wanbo Peak" in ancient times. Other names, such as the candle tip, the bamboo shoot tip, and the single tip, are based on the meaning of the lone peak rising. According to the old chronicle, "There are cranes and clouds traveling on it. In ancient times, Huxu was buried here".
Huafeng, in the main peak area, is close to the southwest side of Tianzhu Peak, with an altitude of 1380 meters. There are strange stones overlapping and cracking on the peak, such as chrysanthemum petals, so it is named. After gazing at it for a long time, all the "petals" seemed to be fluttering in the breeze, and their shape was very strange. Adjacent to the Tianzhu Peak, the two sides of the cliff are like sharp swords. The cracks are deep and even, and the bottom faces a steep ravine. This seam is called "Little Tianmen". The whole shape of Huafeng is similar to that of the main peak, which is very steep. It is also called "small sky pillar".
Tianchi Peak, in the main peak area, is about 500 meters south of Tianzhu Peak, with an altitude of 1426 meters. The top of the peak is a huge ochre rock, with two deep cracks that cannot be seen from the bottom. The width of the crack is about one meter. The predecessors built only two pieces of stones as a bridge, like a stone beam on the roof. They called it the Bridge to Cross the Immortals or the Bridge to Test the Heart. Because the cold air rushed up on a windless day in the deep depression, it was named for its meaning of "no immortal can cross" and "no one without privacy can cross". The predecessors once wrote a poem and said, "Don't say it's hard to test your heart. Please cross this bridge. But if you can learn from the white water, you can face the blue sky.". The Shunzhi Annals said that "there is Dan Weng Rock on the Tianchi Peak, which is sandwiched by two phases, and the middle is like an urn", also referring to this place. It is only a foot between the two bridges and can be crossed in three steps, commonly known as the three step two lane bridge. The plane of the rock top at the north of the bridge is about 10 square meters, and there are two natural depressions. The depth is not more than ten feet, and the water is clear and never dried up all the year round. It is called the Tianchi Lake; The name of the peak originated here. When the wind blows slightly, the water drops splash, like spray beads scattering jade. The cliff on the north of the peak is absolutely ravine, and people dare not look down, so it is called Heart Testing Cliff. This peak is opposite to the main peak of Tianzhu across the ravine. In sunny weather, you can count the wood and stone of the main peak, which is the best place to enjoy the majesty of Tianzhu. In the ravine, the clouds are flourishing, the purple fog is clear, and sometimes there is "Buddha light".
Tianchi Peak
Mount Everest is located in the main peak area, about 600 meters south of the Tianzhu Peak. It flies from the right and connects with the Tianchi Lake on the left, with an altitude of 1413 meters.

The General Guanzhai is at the foot of this peak.
Feilai Peak, in the main peak area, is more than 700 meters south of Mount Everest, 1424 meters above sea level, and more than 400 meters in relative height. On the top of the peak, there are big stones lying horizontally, such as hats, covers, cows and tigers. According to the legend of the local people, this peak kept growing. When the immortal family passed by, a huge stone was photographed to suppress its growth. Monk Mingdaguan once said that it was absurd to chant a poem, saying, "Flying is not flying, it is all guesswork and random guesswork. Since flying is flying, why does it stand on Cangtai forever?" The name of the stone is flying, and it is also famous for flying. The three sides of the peak are cliffed, but the north side is accessible by hanging rope. According to the farmers, there are Leigong Cave and Wulong Well on the peak waist. Among the hanging walls in the southwest, the stone scales are mottled like dragon scales, commonly known as yellow dragon beetles. The distribution of scale spots is very similar to the figure of Anhui Province today, which is indeed a great spectacle.

On the other hand, the "big finger" in the "five fingers" is dozens of times thicker than the other "four fingers". It stands tall and independent, forming its own peak. Looking from the Xiguan Stronghold, it is like a large seal placed high in the sky, so it is also called Shiyin Peak.
There are two Danxia peaks named Danxia: one is in the south of Tianzhu Peak, and the other is in the north of Wuzhi Peak. According to the old records, "there is a magic pill on the top, or it looks like a cloud"; First, in the east of Liangyao Ping, near the Roast Medicine Rock, the mountain peak is often shrouded in haze under the reflection of "Danzao Cangyan". Song Sun only wrote a poem, "The rosy clouds give birth to ten thousand peonies", or this is what he meant.

Mountain composition

Tianzhu Mountain Dabie Mountain An integral part of the east extension. The mountain is mainly composed of Wanshan (commonly known as Tianzhu Mountain in geological circles) rock mass, located in Anhui Province Yuexi County Qianshan City borders the land boundary. It spreads in NNW direction, cuts Gongjiejian anticline, and is sandwiched by Changpu Xiangchang and Shuihouling Chenlingtou fire faults. The exposed area of surface layer irregular batholith is 120 square kilometers, and most of the contact zones with surrounding rocks are covered. The grain size of the rock surface near the contact zone becomes fine, and the wall rock is silicified. The so-called "marginal migmatite" formed by feldspar metasomatism can be clearly seen along the contact zone on the east, west and south sides of the rock mass, and its width varies from tens to hundreds of meters. The rock mass contains a small amount of fine-grained plagioclase hornblende gneiss residues, and baking phenomenon can be seen at the edge. The residual composition of wall rock can be seen in the Baimatan area to the west of the rock mass. The feldspar porphyry and quartz syenite porphyry veins of the rock body are developed, and they are mainly arranged in a NE oblique array. Secondly, diorite porphyry and fine vein are also seen.
Rock composition characteristics of Tianzhu Mountain
The Wanshan rock body facies belt is developed asymmetrically, and the internal facies is composed of medium - and fine-grained texture mixed granite and mixed monzonitic granite, accounting for more than 90% of the rock body. The rock with fine grain structure on the edge is often short of tip, which is generally several meters to tens of meters wide. It is wide on both sides of White Horse Pond and Sipojian. [6]

Mountain evolution

The historical process of the formation and evolution of Tianzhu Mountain can be traced back to 2.6 billion years ago Archaean Period. At that time, the Tianzhu Mountain area, like the whole Dabie Mountain area, was the period of the development of oceanic geosyncline in the late Archean. In the process of geosyncline decline, the predecessor of the Dabie Mountains Group of huge thick flysch formation (with ultrabasic and basic rocks in the early stage and intermediate acid volcanic rocks in the late stage) was accumulated in this area.
The Dabie movement at the end of the late Archean, 2 billion years ago, caused the marine geosyncline in this area to generally have fold and uplift, forming Ding You Ridge and inclined mountains. Due to the regional metamorphism of geosyncline sediments and the orogenic deformation of their associated granitic magma intrusion, the Dabie Mountains Group underwent moderate to deep regional metamorphism and the formation of migmatization and continental crust reworked migmatite, forming an island like metamorphic terrain in this area, namely, the Huaiyang uplift, including this area. The Wutai Luliang Crustal Movement (Dabie Movement) formed a tight, linear compound fold. After the Yanshan Movement which took place 140 million years ago in the later period, NE, NNE and NS trending faulting activities were generally developed, which made the fold complex due to interference and destruction, and has been in the process of uplift and weathering erosion to varying degrees for a long time. Until the late Quaternary period (Himalayan period), which is 2 million years ago, namely the early Pleistocene, the area rose sharply, reaching more than 1000 meters. The river erosion landform is formed in the rising area, especially in the mountainous area with rapid rise. Due to long-term weathering and erosion, today's Tianzhu Mountain is a magnificent and unique natural landscape. [6]

Zhongshan. It is located in the hinterland of Tianzhu Mountain. It is composed of mixed granite, with multi canyon division and dangerous cliff environment. They are more than 1000 meters above sea level and more than 600 meters above sea level, with Tianzhu Peak as the highest, at an altitude of 1489.8 meters.
Tianzhu Peak, the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain [7]
The migmatitic granites that make up Zhongshan are particularly developed in horizontal, vertical and oblique joints, and their groups and density are variable. At the summit and mountainside, the temperature hovers around 0 ℃ for the longest time all the year round. The liquid and solid state of water frequently change in the joint crevices, so that the rock mass continues to break up and disintegrate, forming a variety of strange and unique stone distribution. Two levels of vertical joints, 105 ° - 285 ° and 155 ° - 335 °, are particularly developed. In addition, the external force strongly cuts along the vertical joints, making the Tianzhu Peak stand alone and as steep as a tower. The lotus peak is vertically concentrated near the summit and carved by external force to form a budding lotus peak. The Xiangu Peak is formed by vertical joint cutting and spherical weathering. The Gubang Stone, which forms an interesting contrast with the Xiangu Peak, is a marvelous work developed along two groups of vertical joints, 85 ° - 265 ° and 175 ° - 355 °. The rock at the top is cut by horizontal joints, and the giant stones stand in three peaks, forming three peaks. On the other hand, the klippe is the top boulder that is cut from the edge to the inside by horizontal joints, making it look like a stone flying from afar and crowning the peak. The lifelike scorpion stone at the waist of Xiangu Peak is an excellent work with two groups of vertical joints, 160 ° - 340 ° and 2~3m apart, 70 ° - 250 °. There are also Flying Tiger, Celestial Lion, Linjiao, Five Fingers, Fairy Fist, Pomegranate, Tianchi... All the peaks are named after the stone elephants at the peak.
On the southeast side of Feilai Peak and on both sides of Shiyin Peak is a deep and narrow box shaped valley. The rocks on the top of the mountain are cut by each group of joints. Under the strong physical weathering, rocks and giant rocks of different sizes and shapes have been formed. Under the action of gravity, they frequently collapse and fall into the valley, which forms a mysterious valley.
The southwest hillside of Tianshi Peak is located at the edge of middle mountain. Here, the catchment area is large, and the downcutting of water is strong. The valleys formed along the joints continue to expand, and the ridge width continues to decrease. Then along the ridge where joints are concentrated, water cutting and double edge collapse occur, forming an arch like rainbow across the cliff, which is the unique "Queqiao" on Tianzhu Mountain. The cause of the "dinosaur fetching water" is similar to that of the "magpie bridge", but it is just a vertical cliff crossing.
The cause of formation of "Tianzhu Qingxue" is directly related to the composition of Qingxue Ridge and its landform. It is composed of migmatite with relatively reduced content of feldspar and quartz. Located in the central area, the rock is wet, which is conducive to the action of water on the rock. In addition, the strong solar radiation and large temperature difference between day and night make the rock surface layer by layer split and gradually loose into sand layers. The top slope of Qingxue Ridge is not large, and the sand layer is not easy to slide down, so it accumulates into hills. [8]
Low mountains. The altitude ranges from 500 meters to 1000 meters, and the altitude ranges from 400 meters to 600 meters. The low mountain adjacent to the middle mountain is composed of migmatite. The low mountains connected with the hills in Hejiafan and Wudang areas in the south are composed of monzonitic gneiss. The peaks of Shilong, Tianshu, Jiangdan and Tianfrog are the same shape as those of Zhongshan, and they are steep peak forests. Stone elephants are also distributed in this area. Zhutou Stone, Hunyuan Thunderbolt, Flying Goose Stone, Kylin Stone, Wooden Fish Stone, Boat Stone, etc.
Yujing Mountain, Jiawu Mountain, etc. are winding mountains, mainly composed of monzogneiss and biotite plagioclase gneiss. The mountain terrain is relatively gentle, and the specific height is also small. Generally, the ridge is wide, and the slope is less than 15 °. The hillside is not as steep as the low mountain mentioned above. Most of them are below 20 °. There are few vivid stones. The two kinds of low mountains form a sharp contrast. [8]
Hills. The elevation is less than 500m and the specific height is less than 200m. It is mainly composed of monzogneiss and biotite plagioclase gneiss. It is distributed at the edge of Tianzhu Mountain, such as Yerenzhai and Baishuiwan. It extends in north-south and north-east stripes. The cutting depth and density of the ground are weaker than those in middle and low mountain areas. The terrain is gentle and the degree of superelevation is not large. [8]
Basin Valley. It is also called basin. The basins and valleys scattered in the whole Tianzhu Mountain are small in scale. The Longtan River Valley is an erosion structure, which is distributed intermittently along the Longtan River. The widest part is only about 500 meters, and is composed of gravel and sand layers. The basins in Zhongshan are roughly distributed at the heights of 400-500m, 800m and 900-1000m. Because Tianzhu Mountain had several obvious pauses in the process of rising, the water action changed from downward cutting to side erosion. Especially in the areas where faults pass or joints are concentrated, the riverside erosion is strong, which shapes intermountain basins, such as Chazhuang Basin (400~500 meters). Mazu'an Basin (750-800m), Serpentine Basin (900-1000m). [8]
Streams. Tianzhu Mountain is a long-term uplift area, and the whole stream is characterized by radiation. Rivers all come from the hollows between the peaks of Tianzhu Peak, Feilai Peak, Yingzhen Peak, Tianshi Peak, Guopen Peak, Sipojian Peak, Tongluojian Peak, Xiangu Peak, etc. in the center of the uplift, and pour around and flow into each other diving Wanhe River The streams in Tianzhu Mountain belong to the primary and secondary tributaries of diving and Wanhe River. Its development is strictly controlled by fault structure and vertical joints. For example, the Longtan River section in the upper reaches of Wanshui River in the northeast of the mountain body is developed along NW-SE trending faults; In the south of the mountain, the source of Jiujing River, Feilai Stream and Qinglong Stream, are developed along the north-south vertical joints; The other branch, Muyang River, is mainly developed along NE-SW trending faults. The streams in the southwest of the mountain flow southwest at the upstream and nearly south-north at the downstream, which are the result of adapting to the changes of vertical joint groups. The river in the north of the mountain is controlled by the calamus Huangbai fault and flows in the northeast direction. Its tributaries, restricted by vertical joints, mostly flow south-north.
In addition, the streams flowing out of the Tianzhu Mountain area are affected by differential uplift and different lithology, and the longitudinal profile of the river valley is stepped. For example, the longitudinal profile of Jiujinghe River can be divided into five distinct layers. For others, such as Heihujian and Linjiahe, the longitudinal profile also shows obvious 3~4 folds. Tianzhu Mountain is full of flowing springs, waterfalls and Longtan. Every spring tide and summer flood, silver dance everywhere, and the Milky Way hangs upside down. The cross section of the river valley is characterized by deep canyons and valleys in the valley. The strange peaks on both sides of the river are sandwiched and the ancient pines are set off, which makes it even more exquisite and dangerous. [8]

The cliffs between Feilai Peak and Wuzhi Peak are steep and towering, more than 1400 meters long and thousands of meters long. The rocks are rugged and magnificent. In the old records, there were two cliffs, dragon singing and tiger whistling, one in front of the buried hill and the other on the side of the buried hill. In fact, they are on the same ravine and connected by cliffs. When the mountain wind blows, the pines sing like dragons and the valleys roar like tigers
Heart Testing Cliff, the cliff on the north side of Tianchi Peak, faces Tianzhu Peak across the ravine. It is steep and steep, and dazzling when looking down. Many tourists dare not approach its edge. When the rain is over and the clouds are thin, it is the best place to watch the "Buddha Light" of Tianzhu.

The trees under the cliff are numerous and luxuriant, which is called Jicui Valley.
Taoist Cliff, the north wall of the Covered Basin Peak, and the southwest of the Qianzhang Cliff. The stone pattern is like a feather holding a wat. Zhu Zhang of the Yuan Dynasty wrote a poem about this: "The immortal hall is deep in the lonely shore, and thousands of cliffs are thick, green, wet, and dust-free... The fish in the pond listen to the harp in the daytime, and the birds in the flowers are drunk in the spring. The mountain birds do not know the real world of Tibet, and stay with the clouds to learn from Taoists."
The medicine baking cliff, southeast of Tianzhu Peak and north of Liangyao Ping, is said to be the place where Zuoci baked medicine and made pills in the late Han Dynasty. According to the old annals, "You can hide on the left side of the peak, and the rock path is deep. It is called" alchemy ". In the past, Zuoci used to burn medicine here. So far, it is sunny and sunny, with smoke rising from the thin forest, green and bright, and the intensity is not constant. There is a fire pool on the top, and it will not rain for a long time; the pool will not dry up after a long drought. Shi Daolin (Shi Kefa) of the pavilion tried to climb here, and sighed as a wonder". At the edge of the medicine baking cliff, there is a platform among the rocks. Today, it is called the medicine baking platform. There is a pool of water on it, which is not full or dry all the year round. When the weather changes, the clouds and mist will rise from here, sometimes curl up, sometimes spread on the spot, or thick or thin, or broken or continued, like the smoke when a stove fire is born or suddenly extinguished. "Danzao Cangyan" in the "Ten Hidden Sun Sceneries" refers to this scene here. As the ancients wrote in their poems, "The immortals have made pills by refining medicine. How can they return after racing? The fire is cold and the furnace is still smoldering. The immortal remains in the empty mountain." The cliff here is high and powerful, like a unicorn, also known as the Qilin Cliff. There are stone patterns on the right side of the cliff, like the heaven gate, and stone patterns on the left side, like a fairy floating in a skirt, which are collectively called "fairy guarding the heaven gate".
Qinglong Cliff, about 4 kilometers southeast of Tianzhu Peak. It is about 2km long from the Xianfeng Peak in the north to the Furong Peak in the south. Qinglong Stream flows into Jishui along its west side.
There is a narrow valley between the Tianshi Peak and the Covered Basin Peak at the Great Tianmen Gate. It is Lingxiaohan on the top and the abyss on the bottom, commonly known as "scissors fork". The cliff is precipitous and dangerous. Walking on the clouds, people are afraid at the sight. From here, you can go north along the thousand stone steps to Jicui Valley, Qianzhang Cliff and Dongguan peaks; From here, you can go down the stairs to the south to Queqiao, Yougu and Muyang River; From here, you can climb eastward to the top of Tianshi Peak. This is a newly developed scenic spot in 1985. [1]

The sun watching platform, north of Cuihua Peak, has a cliff with a flat boulder on the cliff top, covering more than 10 square meters. Most tourists watch the sunrise here, so it is called the sun watching platform. If you shout in front of the Cuihua and Linjiao peaks, one call echoes the other. The peak wall echoes, also known as the Echo Desk. Due to the uneven distance between the southeast peaks, the echo has an obvious time difference, forming a unique "singing three echoes" strange image.
Tianle Terrace, Tianchi Peak and Stone Platform are the best places to watch sunset and sunset. It is called "Sunset Platform". To the north is Heart Testing Cliff. It is recorded in the old annals that "Liu Ruoshi of the Ming Dynasty crossed the stone ridge and sat on the Tianchi Drum Qin. When he heard the heavenly music playing in the air, there were thousands of birds flying from the pillar of the sky, and the sound was the same as that of the Sheng chime". Therefore, it is called Tianle Platform. [1]

Heterocave

Mazu Cave, on the left side of the Foguang Temple, is a cave made of large stones. It is said that it is the meditation place of Zen Master Mazu Daoyi of the Tang Dynasty. The portal is narrow and small, and the interior is spacious and flat enough to accommodate dozens of people. The big stone at the back of the cave cracked. Every noontime, a sky light shot through the crack. It was clear from top to bottom, and called Mazu's line of sky. During the reign of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, when the Foguang Temple was sealed, the imperial party ceremony inscribed "Yishan is immortal" on the big stone at the top of the cave. Lang Huaining and Ruan Zihua, the Ministry of Household, were called "Jiaping Pavilion". The secluded stream springs come out through the hole, murmuring noisily. From here, you can go to the "South Sky Pillar".
Lotus Cave, Lotus Peak, and large rocks overlap to form a hole. There are holes like windows on the side of the ravine. Viewed from the "window", visitors can see the boundless blue sky, the misty white clouds, the competing peaks and the uncontaminated bustle, as if they were in the heaven. People call it the "Lotus World" because it is named after the peak and the cave and the scenery outside the "window".
Immortal Cave, under the Baiyue Terrace, is composed of three huge stone shelves, which are divided into two layers, like an attic. Li Kanzhi, the Imperial Servant of the Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, stayed here and engraved words to remember it. It is also known as the "Cave of Cambodia". Wu Yifeng once donated money to repair it with six literary friends, and changed its name to Seven Man Cave. He chanted a poem and said: "Both of us are mountain lovers in the Jianghu. We linger at every pillar of the sky. The clouds open across thousands of valleys and peaks, and the cave is near the Jiangque of Qingdu..."
Siyuan (Xuan) Cave, in the south of Tianchi Peak, is a strange valley. From the lower entrance of the Dragon Singing and Tiger Roaring Cliff, it passes through the Five Finger Peak, next to the Feilai Peak, around the Mount Everest, and reaches Duxian Bridge, with a total length of more than 400 meters. The valley is spanned by huge rocks, which are towering and towering, forming countless caves like giant rockery bonsai. They are deep, subtle, circuitous, bright, dark and mysterious. It is called "Mystery Valley". In the valley, there are holes in the holes, or the holes are connected or separated from each other. Three large caves are called Dragon Palace, Maze and Leisure Palace. Taoism regards this place as a blessed place, and Taoist books call it the 14th Cave. According to the old records, this cave "can hold more than ten thousand martial arts. There is crystal rock under it, leading directly to the sea. Later, it was called the General Officer Cave."
Guanyin Cave is in the northeast of Tianzhu Peak and between the stone walls on the north of Qinglongbei. There are two holes up and down. The lower cave is spacious and can accommodate dozens of people. Local mountain people burn charcoal and often live in the cave. The entrance of the cave is covered by thorns, which makes it difficult for tourists to find it. On the cliff beside the cave, there are foot nests left by predecessors. Along the way, another hole is embedded in the cliff. The wall of the cave is smooth, and the cave can only accommodate several people. It was once said that this cave was hidden and difficult to climb, and it was difficult for non Guanyin warriors to stop and live, so it was called "Guanyin Cave". [1]

Waterfall

There is Qinglong Stream under Qinglong Peak, Feilai Stream under Feilai Peak, Youjian Stream under Tianshu Peak, and Dongguan Stream to the east of Qianzhang Cliff. When it is sunny, the cliff is dripping and trickling; When the sudden rain comes, the mountains and rivers are rushing, roaring, changing and moody. The path leads to the place where the grass grows, the flowers are idle, and the pines sing bamboo rhymes.
Yazi Waterfall, there is a waterfall on the west cliff of Hejiafan, with a drop of more than 50 meters. The water from Qiongyangchuan flows to this place, which is blocked by rocks. It divides into two streams and crosses the cliff head. Then it forms a waterfall that flows down in the shape of "Ya", just like the inverted waterfall of "Ren" on Mount Huangshan.
Heihu Waterfall, located in the west of Heihu Ridge, is 340 meters long, with four falling rocks and a maximum drop of more than 400 meters. It is the longest waterfall in Tianzhu Mountain. It originates from the foot of the Jiangdan Peak, and flows out of Baishuiwan through the black tiger and the water of the mountains. It looks like a silver drill hanging on the mountains; At close sight, it looks like a white jade dragon, leaping into diving. Every time after rain, mountains and streams overflow, rushing and rushing. The sound is like thunder, and the mountains are shocked.
Snow Cliff Waterfall, 1.5km north of the tea house, under the snow cliff, the stone cliff is high and steep, the stone color is pure white, and the waterfall flies down from the cliff, zigzagging with the mountain height in the form of a ladder, which is similar to the ten fold white exercise. The stone color and water color are as clear as snow, so it is called "Snow Cliff Waterfall". The drop is more than 40 meters. When the water is heavy, it is turbulent and thunderous all day long; When the water is small, it is splashing and the rain is falling all day long. Tianzhu Mountain waterfalls, several snow cliff waterfalls are the most wonderful.
Jishui Waterfall is located in Lixu on the snow cliff waterfall. There is a stone cliff beside the waterfall that cracks like lotus petals, called Lotus Cliff. The cliff is steep, and the torrent flows straight down, with a drop of more than 200 meters. Every time after the rain, the hanging waterfall pours from the sky, shaking the mountains and valleys. It can be heard several miles away, so it is commonly known as the "sounding trough". According to Huanyu Ji, Tianzhu Mountain "has water rushing in the east, and it is like a waterfall in winter and summer".
Piaoyun Waterfall, east of Niuma City, is the highest waterfall in Tianzhu Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1100 meters. The Feilai Spring, gathered from the foot of Feilai Peak, turns eastward into Feilai Stream after passing through Niuma City. Here, the cliff is high and steep, the stream is wide and the slope is relatively gentle, and the flowing spring is paved into a gauze, floating down, even in the wet season, it is leisurely and flowing like clouds. [1]

Scenery

seas of clouds On the Tianzhu Mountain, clouds often cover the valley, fog covers the cliffs, and clouds and waves are everywhere. Among them, there are three most magnificent places, namely, Dongguanzhai, Xiguanzhai and Liangyaping.
Sunrise at Tianzhu Mountain
Baoguang, board the Duxian Bridge and look at the Tianzhu Peak. If there are thick fog and clouds in front of you and strong sunlight behind you, the clouds in front of you will appear a colorful aura of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, which are layered and gorgeous. At this time, if you are between the sun and the clouds, the sun will project the figure of a person onto the cloud screen in front of you, and the figure of a person will appear in the halo. It is really wonderful. This wonderful scene is the "Baoguang" of Tianzhu, commonly known as the "Buddha Light".
Sunrise and sunset, the observation platform of Tianzhu Mountain is the best place to watch the sunrise. The best time to watch the sunrise is in mid winter, after snow, and in spring and autumn.
The pillar of the sky is clear and snowy, which is one of the "Ten Hidden Sunshine Sceneries". Wujing Mountain in the east of Tianzhu Temple should be the location of the ancient "Tianzhu Qingxue" scenic spot, that is, the Qingxue Cliff in the east of Tianzhu Temple. It's convenient to go to Yujing Mountain from Hutou Cliff recently. "Clear Snow in Tianzhu Mountain" is a unique spectacle of Tianzhu Mountain. Tourists from ancient and modern times are all intoxicated with it when they visit Qiongyao in Tiangong. There was a poem saying: "There are many strange peaks, which have been heard since ancient times. Today, people believe that the sky is clear and the snow is extraordinary. A thousand years of jade shines on the autumn moon, and a column of frost spreads the summer clouds.". [1]

Due to the location of Tianzhu Mountain Mid subtropical zone At the north edge, the humid air flow along the river is blocked by the Dabie Mountains and meets the cold air over the mountains, which directly affects the climate change of Tianzhu Mountain. Its average annual rainfall is more than 1900 mm, the annual cloud and fog is 180 days, the frost free period is 235 days, and the annual average temperature is 9.5 ℃ (the average temperature in July is 20 ℃, and the average temperature in January is - 2 ℃). The forest coverage rate is up to 98%, and the content of negative oxygen ions in the air is 20 times of the international standard. It is known as the "green lung in southwest Anhui" in Anhui. Because of the fresh and humid air, abundant rainfall and abundant water, Tianzhu Mountain has lush vegetation, soft lines and rich products. It has been found that most of the mountains are secondary forests. In 1958, Tianzhu Mountain Forest Farm was established, which created a large area of artificial forests. Among them, Beiguanzhai has 8000 mu of bamboo sea, Tongluojian has thousands of mu of fir forest, Liangyaoping and Nanguanzhai have large areas of pines, and the mountains and fields are soaring and lush. There are about 119 families and more than 1000 species of plants in Tianzhu Mountain. Mainly masson pine, Chinese fir, camphor tree, privet, chinaberry, black locust, maple, tung, elm, toon, oak, palm, Chinese tallow; Precious tree species include Huangshan Rhododendron, Huangshan Pine, Euonymus japonicus, Cephalotaxus fortunei, Tiannvhua, purple tree, green willow, fragrant fruit tree, Taxus chinensis, Chinese torreya, and mottled bamboo, bitter bamboo, Phyllostachys pubescens, etc. Dendrobium, Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Coptis chinensis, Rhizoma Polygonati Rhizoma, Paeoniae lactiflora, Lily, Jinkuncao and many other precious medicinal materials are also attached to them. They grow heartily. With the influence of vertical distribution, they form a natural vegetation layer, making the color of Tianzhu Mountain more intense and the image particularly enchanting. Deep in the mountains and dense forests, it is an ideal kingdom for rare birds and animals. There are still tigers, leopards, civet cats, dogs, badgers, porcupines, etc. Birds include long tailed pheasants, black magpies, thrushes, etc. There are also various fish in the water, such as giant salamanders (giant salamanders).
Tianzhu Mountain Area is rich in resources and has long been famous around the world. According to the Records of Qianshan City, "the smell of high mountain tea is naturally fragrant without being smoked." "It is especially rare that there is no self born person on the cliffs and cliffs.". In the season of grain rain, we collect and store tea. Tea is produced in places like Qianhe River Roar. Shuzhou Tianzhu Mountain Tea was famous in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Collection of Ancient and Modern Books · Records of Food and Goods and the Supplement to the History of the Tang Dynasty both recorded that "when envoys of the Tang Dynasty went to the Western Regions, they saw famous tea in the mainland, including Shuzhou tea, which was regarded as a treasure". Yuquanzi said that "Li Deyu, a famous official in Tang Dynasty, loved tea and invited the governor of Shuzhou to send 'Tianzhu Peak Tea'". Shen Kuo《 Mengxi Writing 》"The ancients only talked about tea in Yangxian (Yixing, Jiangsu), Gu Zhu (Changxing, Zhejiang), Tianzhu, Mengding (Ya'an, Sichuan), etc.". The above four places all produce famous tea, only Tianzhu Mountain Tea, which can be called a good tea. The "Tianzhu Sword Hair" developed by Hyundai keeps the sweet and fragrant characteristics of Tianzhu tea, and won the prize at the National Famous Tea Review Exhibition in 1985. In addition, there are stone ear and camphor. According to the Annals of Anqing Prefecture, "Eulaliopsis binata grows from the buried hill and can be used as a mat". Shuzhou bamboo mats, with a long history and exquisite craftsmanship, have long been popular both inside and outside the province and in Southeast Asia. In the second year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty (1910 AD), he won the first prize at the Nanyang Games. [4]
The pine trees with ornamental value include:
Tianzhu and Wangsong are among the cliffs in the southwest of Tianchi Peak. Above the ravine, a lone pine grows between the cracks of the rock. It is not more than ten feet tall. It is surrounded by two sides. Its branches rise in all directions, and the green leaves cover it. The black wind calls it a "thousand year thing". The place where the pines grow is far away from the cliff edge. There are no weeds and shrubs. People can't reach them, and they are sometimes lost by the sea of clouds. When the sun is shining, you can see that it is facing ten thousand feet below and the sky is blue above. You can stand upright. It's really arrogant. "Tianzhu old pine, this is the first", the newly compiled Tianzhu Mountain Annals calls this pine Tianzhu pine.
Jade pot pine, under the southwest cliff of Feilai Peak. Three loose stems: the left stem is arc-shaped, like a spout; The middle trunk is straight and strong, and the branches and leaves are covered, just like a pot body; The right trunk is bent to the middle trunk in a prismatic shape, just like the handle of a pot. It looks like a large jasper teapot as a whole.
Five sister pine, under the southwest cliff of Feilai Peak. The five trunks are as slim and graceful as the five sisters playing with each other.
Nine Dragon Pine, on the huge rock on the top of the Happy Palace in Mysterious Valley. The nine branches of the tree are loose, with their own twists and turns, intertwining and stretching, like nine coiled dragons.
Eagle pine, on the hill to the east of Immortal Cave. The old trunk is broken in the middle, and one branch is unusually lush, just like a phoenix tail. It is also called Fengwei Pine or Eagle Pine.

Kylin pine, green dragon back. It is an ancient pine tree lying on rocks. It is only more than meters high. It sits on the ground with branches and looks like a unicorn head.
Greeting Pine is located in the south of Tianmen Gate. Its trunk is straight and strong, and its branches and leaves are verdant. A thick branch extends to the mountaineering trail, like a giant stretching its arms to welcome tourists. With both shape and spirit, it is comparable to the Huangshan Greeting Pine.
Explore the sea pines, beside the mountainside trail west of Qinglong Stream. The base of the main trunk is circled upward to form a circle, and then extends out of the cliff from the root to the bottom, facing thousands of feet below. Sometimes there is a sea of clouds billowing, which is known as "exploring the sea". [1]

Tianzhu Mountain was regarded as a treasure land by Taoism and Buddhism in history. Taoists named the famous mountains and caves in the world as thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places, and called Tianzhu Mountain the fourteenth and fifty seventh blessed places. According to Zhuang Mingbi's "Journey to Dalong Mountain", "There are eight Tianzhu mountains in the world, three in China, and one of them is hidden." It can be seen that Tianzhu Mountain has an extremely important position in the eyes of Taoism. Zuoci, the famous Taoist priest in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was here to "refine pills and get the way". Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Taoism has successively built famous Taoist temples in Tianzhu Mountain, such as the Five Mountains Temple, Lingxian Temple (Zhenyuan Palace), Tianzuo Palace, among which Zhenyuan Palace once had more than 3600 Taoist houses. The second, third and fourth ancestors of Buddhism used this mountain as a place to teach. 72 famous Buddhist temples have been built in the mountains, including the Valley Temple (Sanzu Temple), Tianzhu Temple and Foguang Temple. In the prosperous Tang and Song dynasties, there was a saying of "three thousand Taoists and eight hundred monks". Benevolent men and believers from hundreds of miles around came here to pay homage to saints. Lu Xiu, the governor of Song Shuzhou, once recited the poem "blue tiles and red bars embrace the crimson sky, purple clouds are deep around the treasure wind", which depicts the grand occasion when the temples were brilliant and clouds were swirling. After the Song Dynasty, most temples were destroyed by war or abandoned. Although they were repaired, they could not reproduce the prosperity of the previous dynasties. There is still one Sanzu Temple in the mountain, and four Nunneries, namely, Jiyuan, Qiyun, Shangfeng and Huguo. In recent years, Buddhist activities have returned to normal after successive renovation. For thousands of years, many famous Taoist monks have preached here, collected herbs and refined pills, leaving many wonderful legends, adding a layer of magic to the scenery of Tianzhu Mountain. [5]

In the fifth year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (106 BC), Martial Emperor Liu Chehang patrolled hunting in the south, from Xunyang, down the river, through Shengtang Bay (today's Anqing City Shengtang Bay) into Wankou (today's Shankou Town, Huaining County), and up the river. Fajiagukou (today's Zhushan Yeren Stronghold), ascended the Tianzhu, "the name is Nanyue". [4] Until Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty changed Hengshan Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River into Nanyue Mountain. During the 700 years, the so-called Nanyue Mountain was Tianzhu Mountain. After the title of Nanyue moved southward, Tianzhu Mountain was called "Ancient Nanyue". [1]
Because of the unique scenery and unique advantages of Tianzhu Mountain, it was not neglected because of the title moving south. In addition, the city of Qianshan has been an important military town since the Han Dynasty. From the time when Xizhou was built in the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty (589) to the time when Ping'an Qingfu at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty moved eastward, it has been ruled by states, prefectures and prefectures for 627 consecutive years. The famous officials, scholars and bachelors of all ages, such as Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Li Ao, Li Dexiu, Wang Anshi, Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Lu You, Yang Wanli, Li Yuanyang, Hu Zanzong, are all attracted by the scenic spots of Tianzhu Mountain. They either looked into the distance, or boarded, or settled down, built pavilions to read, or recited poems and compositions, or carved stone names, leaving many poems and precious cultural landscapes handed down from generation to generation.
Bai Juyi said in his song, "The Tianzhu Mountain holds the sun and the moon, and the cave door locks the clouds and thunder." Wang Anshi said in his poem, "The water turns unintentionally, the mountains are colored and surrounded, and the poor and deep are endless. Sitting on the rocks, you can forget to return."... These poems and essays praise the majesty of the Tianzhu Mountain. So far, tourists linger to recite and linger to forget to return. [5]
In the seventh year of Tang Tianbao's reign (748 AD), Li Bai crossed the river to the west of Anhui. On the one hand, he expressed his love for mountains and rivers, and on the other hand, he asked for immortals to visit Taoism. He looked far into the sky at Tianzhu Peak and wrote a poem named "Looking at Wangong Mountain on the River": "The strange peaks are full of clouds, and the beautiful trees are full of beauty. Wangong Mountain is full of beautiful cliffs..." The whole poem has 12 lines, which can be said to be pearl in every word, and the writing is full of emotion. In another two years, while visiting Lushan Mountain, Li Bai also visited Tianzhu Mountain, and finally paid back his wish of "going nowhere". [4]

Military history

The geographical position of Tianzhu Mountain is very important, and it has always been a place of war. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yuan, the leader of the righteous soldiers, formed a stronghold in Xiguan, defeated the Yuan army for many times, and fought for 18 years. Young General of Taiping Army Chen Yucheng He led his troops in the Tianzhu Mountain Area and had a stalemate with the Qing army for many years. During the Anti Japanese War and the War of Liberation, the guerrillas led by the Communist Party were active in Tianzhu Mountain. [5]
Liu Yuan, a buried hill man in the first year of Emperor Duzong's reign in Xianchun (1265) of the Southern Song Dynasty, was ordered by the local general to organize a righteous army against the Yuan Dynasty. He set up a mountain stronghold in Tianzhu Mountain, cultivated in spring and trained in winter, and stepped up military training to prepare for the battle. In the first month of the first year of Emperor Gong Deyou (1275), the general and prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty led his troops to attack Sikong Mountain and Buried Hill Wild Man Yuan. When they crossed Anqing Prefecture, Fan Wenhu, the magistrate of the Song Dynasty, surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and the county was ruled by the Yuan Dynasty from then on. In November of the next year, Shu, Huang and Qi three prefectures successively set up troops to recover the Song Dynasty. Liu Yuan, who turned to the underground struggle, gathered more than ten thousand troops and went up to Tianzhu Mountain to raise the flag of resistance against the Yuan Dynasty. For three consecutive years, there were more than 100 battles with the Yuan army and the forces that defected to Mongolia. In the second year of Xiangxing (1279), Liu Yuan, the leader of the righteous army, was defeated by the Yuan general Ang Ji'er and sacrificed at Tianzhu Mountain. [10]
