The "Yue" in the Five Mountains means lofty mountain. In ancient China, high mountains were regarded as "the highest in the sky", and five high mountains located in the east, south, west, north and middle of the Central Plains were designated as "Five Mountains". During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism began to build Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in wuyue for religious activities, and each "Yue" honored a "Yue God" (or "Emperor" or "God King") as the highest god in charge of Yue. The natural scenery of these mountains has also been gradually developed for worshippers to visit. As a result, Wuyue Mountain has become a scenic spot in China with the beauty of natural landscape of mountains and rivers and the victory of Buddhist and Taoist cultural landscape. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, the five mountains were generally Buddhism and Taoism, and temples and views coexisted. After the Song Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism competed with each other according to their respective political backgrounds and social forces. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Nanyue, Beiyue and Zhongyue still maintained the status of respecting Buddha and Taoism, while Dongyue and Xiyue were dominated by Taoist forces and became the centers of Taoism in China.
People in China say that the scenery must have three mountains and five mountains. "Three Mountains" and "Immortals" live in the same place. The Historical Records of the First Qin Emperor contains: "Xu, Qi and others wrote that there are three sacred mountains in the sea, named Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou", which is the "immortal trace" of Su Dongpo's "the sky in the east shines all the time"; And "Five Mountains" is the general name of the five famous mountains in China. Namely Mount Taishan in Dongyue, Huashan in Xiyue, Hengshan in Beiyue, Songshan in Zhongyue and Hengshan in Nanyue. They are places where feudal emperors worship Zen and set up businesses, and they are also symbols of feudal emperors' orders from heaven and their determination to the Central Plains. The five mountains split the ground and skyscraper, standing proudly. From this, we can also see the position of the five mountains in the eyes of the ancients.
Wuyue Mountain deserves to be a famous mountain in the world. On the landscape, the five mountains have their own characteristics: Mount Tai Xiong, Mount Heng Xiu, Huashan Insurance, Mount Heng Qifeng and Mount Song Ao. Mount Tai in Dongyue is majestic and steep. Confucius, a scholar in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, once lamented that "he who climbs Mount Tai is a small place in the world", while Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the heroic words of "he who climbs to the top can go to the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". . Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue is adjacent to the waterfront of Hunan, with lush trees and beautiful scenery, enjoying the reputation of "the exclusive respect of five mountains". Huashan Mountain in Xiyue ranks first among the five mountains. "Huashan has been a Taoist since ancient times", and climbing a mountain is more difficult than climbing to heaven. If you don't eat the courage of a leopard, you can only look at the peak and sigh. Mount Hengshan in Beiyue is steep and the valley is deep. The traffic is inconvenient and it is hidden in the mountains, so the "Hanging Temple" is hidden in it. There are some risks and oddities in Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue, which seems to be highlighted by the word "Austria": Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue has a profound world history and culture, covering economy, culture, art, religion and science and technology. The three religions "Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism" converge, and "heaven and earth people" compete for each other. The "Mountain and Temple" Five Mountains are known as the "Five Wonders" of China, and they are the most distinguished five mountains in China.
