Cultural origin

Kongtong Phoenix Ridge is known as a splendid natural landscape on the Loess Plateau in Longdong, with mountainous peaks, abrupt cliffs, criss-crossing valleys, numerous culverts, rugged rocks and lush mountains. It is also said that it is a place where immortals practice Taoism. Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of humanity, once asked Guangchengzi to be in this mountain, and was honored as "the first Taoist mountain in the world" by Taoism. In recent years, a constant stream of tourists from home and abroad has made it more and more famous.

Most of the existing materials have three explanations: first, it is an empty place where people lived with clans in ancient times; Second, Kongtong Mountain is a Taoist resort, which means that Taoism is empty and natural. Third, there are many caves in Kongtong Mountain, and there is nothing. The three statements are not unreasonable.

To say the origin of the name of Kongtong Mountain, we must first say the origin of the word Kongtong and the word "Kongtong". When you look it up in the dictionary, it's usually annotated "The name of the mountain is in Gansu". The book Erya, which was first seen in the Spring and Autumn Period, contains: "The Northern Dynasties fought extremely hard". Pingliang Kongtong Mountain is just below the Beidou constellation, which is what it refers to. According to Zhou Shu in Jizhong, Kongtong is the leader of twelve clans, including Daxia, shache, Guti, Danlue, Hu Mao, Qi You, Rongzhai, Xiongnu, Loulan, Yueshi, Xiehu and Beiqiu. So Kongtong is the name of a powerful clan tribe in the Zhou Dynasty. Records of the Historical Records of Zhao and Examination of Surnames are also recorded. The descendants of the ancestor contract in Shang Dynasty were divided into Kongtong (also written as Kongtong, but actually Kongtong is a different name), so the country was taken as the surname. Kongtong Mountain is a famous local mountain, so it takes the famous mountain as its surname.
