readx;? The modern geographical definition of Taibai Mountain includes the main peak Ba Xiantai (the ancients called Taibai Mountain, only referring to Ba Xiantai), Ao Mountain, and the West Paoma Liang connecting the two. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBaxiantai confronts the east and west of Aoshan, and is also known as Taibai Mountain.

"Shangshu Yu Gong" is called "Contradictory Mountain", and "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" cloud: "Those who are scared are also rich in things." It can be seen that the ancients have already discovered its unique products, and the famous mountain is known as "the thing", and it can also be seen that the economic development at that time was closely related to this mountain.

The main body of Taibai Mountain is located in Baojimei County and Taibai County in Shaanxi Province, and Taibai Mountain in a broad sense is connected with Zhouzhi County in Xi'an. It is the main peak of the Qinling Mountains and the highest peak east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Chinese mainland. Taibai Mountain is the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. It has low mountain, middle mountain, high mountain and other landform types, with clear boundaries and different characteristics, especially the various landforms carved by Quaternary glacial activities are intact and clearly identifiable.

The climate of Taibai Mountain is very different, and with the increase of altitude, the climate types are distributed in a continuous belt according to a certain law. The three-dimensional difference of climate makes the distribution of plants and animals also form a corresponding vertical spectrum. Taibai Mountain is very rich in animal and plant resources, the mountain is lush with forests, Chinese herbal medicine is everywhere, especially the world's only remaining relict plant - one-leaved grass is unique in Taibai Mountain. The abundant plant resources provide sufficient food for wild animals, such as pheasants, blood pheasants, red-bellied horned pheasants, giant pandas, golden monkeys, takins and other rare birds and animals that thrive in Taibai Mountain.

Baxiantai is located in the eastern part of Taibai County, with an altitude of 3,767 meters, and is the highest peak in China outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" is called "Taiyi Mountain", which is said to be the place where Taiyi people practice. The name of "Taibai Mountain" was first seen in the Book of Wei and Geography, and has been used since the Sui and Tang dynasties. "Record of Differences" contains: "The essence of Venus, falling in the west of the Guifeng in the south of the end, its refinement of the white stone is like a beautiful jade, and there is a purple gas from time to time, hence the name." "Probably it is called "Taibai Mountain" by the meaning of Taibai Star. "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books", "Guanzhong Victory Map Chronicle", "Yixian Chronicle" and so on are recorded.

"Notes on the Book of Water" contains: Taibai Mountain "is the most beautiful in the mountains, with snow in winter and summer, and it is bright to see." "Taibai Mountain (Baxiantai) is covered with snow all year round, which is peculiar and magnificent, and has always been praised by literati and artists. In the past, people took the Taibai Mountain as imposing, wind and rain, only in the middle of the summer in June, the beginning of the passage of people, commonly called "open the mountain". Outside of June, fog and snow jam the road, inaccessible, commonly known as "closed mountain". So much so that the "Notes on the Book of Water" has an almost mythical saying that "when the army marches down the mountain, there are no drums and horns, and the drums and horns will be stormy". Today's people are no longer restricted by "opening the mountain" and "closing the mountain", and they can climb the mountain at any time. The sayings "no drums" and "storms and rains" can only show that the climate on the mountain is unpredictable.

Ao Mountain (the peak in Taibai County, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province) belongs to the main vein of the Qinling Mountains. In ancient times, it was called the Hanging Mountain, the Wugong Mountain, and the middle of the running horse beam and the east and west of Baxiantai looked at each other in the distance, and it was also called the West Taibai. With an altitude of 3,476 meters, it is the second highest peak in Shaanxi. Aoshan is located 25 kilometers southeast of Taibai County, Baoji, Shaanxi, and is the birthplace of the Shihe River, a first-class tributary of the Wei River, and the Hongyan River (Yuchuan River), a second-class tributary of the Han River.

Ao Mountain is the most primitive area in the Qinling Mountains, with very rich species of animals and plants, and the remains of the stone sea are all over the slopes, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist. According to legend, Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, lived in Baiao Mountain in the West Tai for many years, studied medicine, and wrote books.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Nuwa refined five-colored stones to make up for the sky, and the broken ao was enough to stand the four poles. At that time, the floods on the land of China were rampant, rushing against each other, disasters were repeated, the earth was shaking, the earth was unstable, the ninth son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea Shenao, offered four legs to stand the four poles, but from then on could not swim and crawl, Nuwa read the work of Shenao breaking his feet, and punished the center of Shenao Xiongxiong Town, diverting the north and south, since then the wind and rain in the world are smooth, the water flows eastward, and the earth is stable. Since then, Ao Mountain has become a majestic dragon's back, lying across the land of China.

From this, it can be seen that the status of the first peak outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China makes Taibai Mountain considered by the ancients to be the main peak of Kunlun Mountain, which is understandable, and the legendary Yuxu Palace may also refer to here, and the legendary place where Jiang Ziya learned the Tao may be here. This place is not far from Zongzhou, so people are also familiar with it, if it is really in the Kunlun Mountain now called, it is a barbarian land.

The accompanying Hezong Bai Yao said: The membrane was sealed on the north bank of Chishui, and the Yin (Shang) people sacrificed for it, and they were the ancient sages.

On the twenty-second day of March (Ding Si Day), King Mu went to the southwest to find the place where the Yin people presided over the sacrifice of the membrane day, and it was also the former residence of the membrane day. It has been abandoned for a long time, full of large trees and grasses, infested with wild beasts, and can be hunted.

On the twenty-third day of March (Wuwu Day), the leaders of the Chishui area were worried and offered a hundred fine wines to King Mu. King Mu continued to travel west after drinking, and stayed in Kunlun Zhi'a and Chishui Zhiyang (the north bank of the Hongshui River in Zhouzhi County, Xi'an, Shaanxi). There is a mountain of birds nearby, there are many birds and beasts, and King Mu rests for three days in the mountain of birds. Wait for the auspicious day and climb the Kunlun Hill (Taibai Mountain, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains). King Mu asked people to divinate the auspicious day for Xinyou Day.

On the twenty-sixth day of March (Xinyou Day), King Mu ascended the Kunlun Hill to watch the palace ruins of the Yellow Emperor [the Yellow Emperor traveled all over the world and climbed the Kunlun Mountain to raise the palace on it. See "Xinyu"], the cemetery of the Yellow Emperor was ceremoniously rebuilt [this may be the cemetery left by the Yellow Emperor's vassals to commemorate him, and there is more than one such cemetery. It is not necessarily the real burial place of the Yellow Emperor] to edict future generations.

On the twenty-eighth day of March (Guihai Day), King Mu prepared a complete sacrifice to sacrifice to the hill of Kunlun [sacrifice to the mountain god, which is equivalent to the sacrifice to the river god, the river god is the god of the Yellow River, and the mountain god is the god of Kunlun Mountain).

From the previous information, we know that the climate on Ao Mountain is pleasant, the animals are complete, and the snow in Ba Xiantai is covered all the year round, not June, even the mountain can not enter, from King Mu into the mountain in March, it can be inferred that the specific location of Kunlun Hill is the West Taibai Mountain in the Taibai Mountain, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains.

On the twenty-ninth day of the third month (Jiazi Day), King Mu marched westward, resting on the shore of Zhuze and fishing on Zhuze. The reeds beside Zhuze are thirty miles in circumference. There are a variety of wild vegetables inside. The chiefs of the tribes in the Zhuze area (Kunwu clan) offered to King Mu four white jades, one rhino horn, three soaphorns and other kinds of soaphorns that could be used for bathing, local delicacies, ten kinds of wine, nine kinds of mushrooms, and 300 edible horses, 3,000 cattle and sheep. King Mu ascended the hill of Kunlun (Ao Mountain), ordered the Kunwu clan to guard the palace of the Yellow Emperor, and its guard south to Chishui (Zhouzhi County, Xi'an, Shaanxi), north to Chung Shan (Ba Xiantai, Taibai County, Baoji, Shaanxi), in fact, it was a prince, Kunwu presented a great gift, and King Mu of Zhou appointed him as a prince, which was a good deal.
