Where is Hengshan? Introduction to Hengshan Mountain

1 Hengshan, located in the southeast of central Hunan Province, China, between Hengyang Basin and Xiangtan Basin, the main part is located in Nanyue District, Hengshan County, Hengyang City and the east of Hengyang County. The name of Mount Hengshan, according to the Records of Shigan Star Classic in the Warring States Period, is one of the "Five Mountains" in China, because it is located on the wing of the sunset star in the constellation Erbasu and looks like a weighing instrument.

2. Mount Hengshan is a famous Taoist and Buddhist shrine in China. There are over 200 temples, temples and temples around the mountain. Mount Hengshan was the place where ancient emperors Tang Yao and Yu Shun toured Xinjiang for hunting and offering sacrifices to the country. Yu Xia sacrificed horses to heaven for flood control. Zhu Rong, the God of Hengshan Mountain, is a folk Vulcan. By the orders of the Yellow Emperor, he guarded Mount Hengshan, taught the people fire and educated everything. After his death, he was buried in Mount Chi Di, and was honored as the holy emperor of Nanyue by the local people. Taoism has "thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed places", four of which are located in Hengshan Mountain, and two real Buddha Sakyamuni relics are hidden in the Jingang Buddha Pagoda of Nantai Temple in Hengshan Mountain.

3. The main peaks of Hengshan Mountain are Yan Hui Peak, Zhurong Peak, Zigai Peak and Yuelu Mountain. The highest peak, Zhurong Peak, is1300.2m above sea level. The main part of Hengshan Mountain is between 27 4 ′-27 20 ′ north latitude, and between112 34 ′-12 44 ′ east longitude, with a northeast-southwest trend, starting from Futian Pu Township in Hengshan County in the north and reaching Hengyang County in the south.

4. 1982, Hengshan Scenic Area was included in the list of the first batch of national key scenic spots; In February 2006, Hengshan was selected as the first batch of national natural and cultural heritage list; In May, 2007, Hengshan Scenic Area was awarded the first batch of national 5A-level tourist attractions. In August 2007, Hengshan Mountain was listed as a national nature reserve.

Mount Hengshan is built on a huge granite. Due to the erosion and strong erosion of surface sediments, granite is exposed in a large area. Pegmatite granite is interspersed in Shi Ying vein, and its width varies greatly, reaching 40 cm, which can accelerate the weathering of granite. The laterite overlying the bedrock contains a lot of timely sand, which proves that it is formed by weathering granite. The rocks around granite can be divided into three types: Silurian purple shale and gravel quartzite, Devonian sandstone and shale, Tertiary red sandstone and shale. In terms of nature, gravelly quartzite is the hardest and purple shale is the softest, showing different topography on rocks in the same period. Due to the weather and climate, the weathering and erosion of running water, wind and heat have formed the unique landscape of modern Hengshan Mountain.

6. The northeastern part of Hengshan rock mass is porphyritic adamellite invaded for the first time, and the southwestern part of the rock mass is Baishifeng mica granite invaded for the second time. The former is distributed on the east side of the line from Nanyue Town to Zhurongfeng, with an exposed area of 2 17 km2 and isotopic ages of12,3187000 years, belonging to the early Yanshanian intrusive body. According to its lithology, rock structure and exposed position, it can be divided into two lithologic zones, namely gneiss porphyritic adamellite and porphyritic amphibole biotite adamellite in Zhurongfeng area, and a small amount of porphyritic biotite granite. The latter is distributed in the west of Wangfeng-Baishifeng, with an exposed area of 233 square kilometers and isotopic age of 80 12 10000, belonging to the second intrusion in the early Yanshan period. The eastern side of the rock mass is in intrusive contact with porphyritic adamellite, with clear contact surface and dip angle of 25-80. The southern and western parts of the rock mass contact with Lengjiaxi Group, forming a mixed rock zone. The rock mass can be divided into two parts, the main part is mica granite, and the marginal part is dark gray, gray and grayish white mixed rock with flaky and gneiss structure, producing potash feldspar, albite and kaolin.
