There are two Songshan Mountains in China: 1. Songshan Mountain in Henan Province 2. Songshan Mountain in Fujian Province 1. Songshan Mountain is located in the west of Henan Province, northwest of Dengfeng City, Henan Province. It is the middle mountain among the five mountains. In 1982, Songshan was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national scenic spots in the name of Henan Songshan Scenic Area. On February 13, 2004, it was selected as a "World Geopark" by the Department of Geosciences of UNESCO. On May 8, 2007, the Songshan Shaolin Scenic Area in Dengfeng City was officially approved by the National Tourism Administration as a national 5A-level tourist attraction. , with a total area of ??450 square kilometers, borders the provincial capital Zhengzhou to the east, the ancient capital Luoyang to the west, the Yellow River to the north, and Yingshui River to the south. It is composed of Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain, with the highest peak (Junji Peak) at 1,491.7 meters. It stretches about 60 kilometers from east to west. In ancient times, it was called Waifang, Songgao, and Gaozi. After the Five Dynasties, it was called Zhongyue Songshan, and together with Mount Tai, Mount Huashan, Mount Heng, and Mount Heng, it was known as the Five Mountains. 2. There is also Songshan Mountain in the suburbs of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. There is a Shaolin Village at the foot of the mountain, which may be the site of the Southern Shaolin Site after research. The ruins of Shaolin Temple are located at the southern foot of Maitreya Peak of Jiulian Mountain in the Songshan Scenic Area, a branch of Songshan Mountain in Shaolin Natural Village. The Wulao Peak to the east of the temple is very similar to the Wuru Peak in Henan Songshan Mountain, and the flow of Shaolin Creek is the same as that of Shaoyang Creek next to the North Shaolin Temple. Follow-up question: Go to Songshan Mountain in Henan Province. Answer: Zhongyue Songshan Mountain has tall and straight peaks, majestic momentum and countless scenes. The "Eight Scenes" and "Twelve Scenes" are composed of natural scenery such as peaks, valleys, streams, waterfalls, springs, and forests. The eight sceneries are: Waiting for the moon at Songmen, going to Xuanyuan in the morning, spring plowing in Yingshui, avoiding the summer heat in Jiyin, drinking with Shi Cong, fishing in Yuxi, clear snow in Shaoshi, and Luya Waterfall. During the Guangqi period of the Tang Dynasty (885-887), when Jinshi Zheng Gu visited Zhongyue, he wrote poems in praise of the eight scenic spots in Dengfeng: The moon is full at Songmen in the middle of autumn, and Xuanyuan travels early in the fog. Spring plowing in Yingshui is accompanied by field songs. In summer, the danger of skipping is avoided and the harvest is harvested in the summer heat. You can have a drink by the Shicong River and fish hooks on the platform of Yuxi. After Yu Shao, I watched the clear snow in my room, and the ink flowed in front of the waterfall and cliff. In addition to the "Eight Scenic Spots", there are also "Twelve Scenic Spots" in Songshan Mountain, namely: Long Pond runs through the Zhuqiongjiang River, and Songyang Cave has a secluded sky. The sunset in the young room hangs money, and the sun sets in the imperial village at the entrance of the valley. On the bank of the towering "Yun Cliff" of the stone pool, the stone monk Yingshi stood on the top of the mountain. The stalagmites are making noise in the forest, and the waves are rolling, and the flying waterfalls are roaring in the mountains. At the peak, the tiger is perched on the cloud and the sky is roaring, while the monkey is looking at the sky hoping to solve the curse. The snow-covered Xiong Mountain is a wonder, and it is so high that you can see the heaven and earth in the distance. These natural landscapes may be majestic, graceful and attractive, or may be full of waterfalls, cascading mountains, and colorful. The lush forests of Songshan Mountain welcome wind, snow, rain and frost all year round, making it full of vitality. The pine forest on the Junji Peak is green, and the mountain wind blows, whistling, as light as the gurgling water, as fierce as the roar of the waves, and has endless charm. The autumn colors of Songshan Mountain and the red leaves in Shaoshi are even more charming. Shaoshi Mountain is steep and precipitous, with strange peaks and strange sights everywhere. Climbing to the top of the mountain and looking around, the mountains are green, the forest is rippling, and the snow and mist are misty like a fairyland. Lingxiao Gorge, Daxian Gorge, Xiangtangou, Hanging Ice Cliff, Water Curtain Cave and Echo Tower are all natural and fascinating scenery. The central part of Songshan Mountain is bounded by the Shaolin River, Taishi Mountain to the east, and Shaoshi Mountain to the west. There are 72 peaks such as Taiyang, Shaoyang, Mingyue, and Yuzhu. Taishi Mountain, located in the north of Dengfeng City, Henan Province, is the east peak of Songshan Mountain, with an altitude of 1,492 meters. It is said that King Yu's first wife, Tushan, was born here. There is Qimu Temple built at the foot of the mountain, so it is called "Taishi" (room: wife.). There are thirty-six peaks in Taishi Mountain. The rocks and curtains are green and green, and the peak walls are surrounded by towering peaks, like hibiscus. The main peak "Junji Peak" is named after "Junji Peak" in "The Book of Songs·Songgao". Later, when Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Songshan Mountain, he wrote a poem and erected a monument here, so it was also called "Yubei Peak". Climb up Junji Peak and look into the distance. There are young people standing in the west, Jishan Mountain in the south, Yingshui rushing in front, and the Yellow River in the north. Looking down from the rocks, you can see the peaks and ravines under your feet, with jagged peaks and peaks, giving you the impression of "seeing all the mountains and small caves at a glance". The misty clouds between the mountain peaks are changing rapidly and are so beautiful. The ancient Lu Shouzeng (named Daisun, born in Xin'an, Henan. Jinshi in Jiachen of Yongzheng, awarded Wanxian County Magistrate, and served as Shanxi Chief Envoy) wrote in a poem: "Thirty-six peaks are like buns in buns. Pedestrians come and go soothingly. White clouds suddenly flutter. Together, they are all in the ethereal world." It expresses the wonder and beauty of Songshan Mountain and the joy and tranquility of visitors' mind. Shaoshi Mountain is about 10 kilometers east of Taishi Mountain. It is said that King Xia Yu's second wife, the sister of the Tushan family, lived here, and people built a temple for her young aunt at the foot of the mountain, so the mountain is called "Shaoshi". Shaoshi Mountain is steep and has thirty-six peaks. The peaks are clustered and undulating, like banners surrounding them, like swords and halberds arranged in rows, which is quite spectacular. The main peak, Yuzhai Mountain, with an altitude of 1,512 meters, is the highest peak of Songshan Mountain. There is the prestigious Shaolin Temple under Wuru Peak in the north of the mountain. The top of Shaoshi is as wide and flat as a village, with two floors, upper and lower, and four gates. According to "Henan Prefecture Chronicles", when Wan Yanlie of Jin Xuanzong fought with Genghis Khan, Taizu of Yuan Dynasty, Xuanzong was forced to leave the capital. He once retreated to Shaoshi Mountain and stationed troops on the top of the mountain, so it was called "Yuzhai Mountain". There is a water tank in Shanxi of Yuzhai, which is known as the "small drinking horse pool". The amount of water can feed ten thousand people. It is said that Li Ji stationed troops here when he encountered an uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain, two high mountains with many mountains, stretch up and down on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Since ancient times, they have aroused the imagination of many poets and attracted the attention of countless tourists. Therefore, poets, poets, monks, Taoist hermits, emperors and generals of all ages have studied the mountains based on their shapes and appearances. Almost every peak has a beautiful name, so there are seventy-two peaks. Surrounded by these peaks and even on the tops of the peaks, countless Brahma Palaces and Taoist monks' rooms were gradually built.
