Yushan historical records

Yushan Mountain is a sacred mountain shared by Bunun and Zou in Taiwan Province Province, and Bunun is called Pattonkan. In addition, Zou, another aborigine who lives at the foot of Yushan Mountain, calls it Pangu Nora Casso, which means "timely mountain", because the snow on the top of the mountain reflects light in winter and looks like timely glass. In the Records of Taiwan Province Province, which was compiled during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded: "Yushan is in Fengshan County. The mountains are so high that they are all covered by clouds. When the weather is fine, there are white stones in the distance, which is named Yushan. " It can be seen that Yushan, as a Chinese name, has begun to spread.

1895 After Japan occupied Taiwan Province, it attached great importance to the mountains and aborigines in Taiwan Province Province, and Yushan in Taiwan Province Province, which is higher than Mount Fuji, the highest peak in Japan, was the focus of its attention. Therefore, people continue to climb and explore, and take measures to change the name of the mountain, build shrines and set up national parks. Yushan has been given a new status symbol with the name of a new mountain.

1896, army infantry captain Yoshihiro Nagano entered the mountain on September 16, and went east along the ancient road of Qing Dynasty, and boarded Yushan on September 28, which may be the record of the first Japanese landing in Yushan.

1September, 896, the Japanese measured the height of Mount Yushan at 39,500m, which was higher than Mount Fuji (3,776m) in Japan. 1On June 28th, 897, Emperor Meiji ordered that Yushan be renamed as New Mountain.

Torii Ryuzo, an anthropologist, and Morinosuke, an academic explorer, boarded the Yushan Mountain on April 1900/1and put up a wooden sign on the top of the mountain, saying: Our Japanese anthropological research has reached a new peak in Taiwan Province Province, and we look forward to the future research field of by going up one flight of stairs. After Mori Yoshiro, he climbed Yushan more than five times, probably the most for the Japanese.

In the process of Japanese renaming Yushan and climbing exploration, it is of great significance for Governor Hideki Ishizuka to climb new peaks. Tsunezo Ishizuka was the third Japanese governor of Taiwan Province (term1929.7.30 ~1931.16). 1930 On August 4th, he climbed the main peak of the new mountain. During the Japanese rule of Taiwan Province, there were 19 governors, among whom Ishizuka was the only one who climbed the new mountain. The Governor-General is the highest authority in Taiwan Province Province, and his power comes from the authorization of the Japanese central government. The Governor's ascent to the highest peak in Taiwan Province symbolizes the Japanese Empire's possession and acquisition of Taiwan Province Province, which is of great conquest significance.

In the 1990s, the Japanese government planned to establish a national park in Yushan. 1933 The National Parks Association of Taiwan Province Province was established. 1937 The Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province selected Niigata, Alishan, Secao, Taroko and Datun to keep them. However, due to Japan's Pacific War, turning south and military expansion, this construction could not be promoted. However, through the investigation and planning in Japan, we can already see Japan's concept and attempt of sustainable management of the highest peak of the empire and its surrounding areas.

After World War II, the National Government announced in 1947 12 1 that this mountain was named Yushan.

At the end of last century, the authorities of Taiwan Province Province designated Yushan as a national park reserve according to the "Comprehensive Regional Development Plan of Taiwan Province Province". Entrusted by the administrative department of Taiwan Province Province, Academia Sinica conducted an investigation, and invited experts and scholars to conduct on-the-spot investigations to determine the regional scope of Yushan National Park. After comprehensive analysis and research, the internal affairs department of the authorities began to investigate the ecological and human resources in this area, and entrusted the Taiwan Province Provincial University and the National Park Planning Committee of the internal affairs department of the authorities to consider the geographical terrain, animals and plants, recreation and human and historical resources respectively, and actively carried out the resource and land use planning in this area.

For the west, the earliest record of Yushan in the literature occurred in 1857. When an American merchant ship USS Alexander left the port from Anping, the captain W.Morrison recorded it in the log book after seeing the majestic Yushan Mountain, so it was called Mt. Morrison, which is widely used in western countries.
