Huangshan Mountain has a long history. As far back as six or seven thousand years ago, that is, in the 5th/kloc-0th century BC, in the later period of China matriarchal society, human beings have been working and living in this beautiful and rich mountain area. During the Shang Dynasty three or four thousand years ago, an ancestor named Shan Yue lived here. Shanyue is one of the best. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place first belonged to Wu, and Wu returned to Yue, and Yue returned to Chu. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he implemented the county system, which is the territory of Huiji County. Xin 'an County was established in the Southern Dynasties, and the county moved its capital, never leaving the upper reaches of Xin 'an River. Huizhou was called Xin 'an in ancient times, and its origin was based on this. In the Song Dynasty, on May 24th (A.D. 1 12 1), the imperial edict changed her name to Huizhou. About the origin of Huizhou's name, it is said that Huizhou has Hui Ling, Huishui and Dahui Village, so the state is named after the place name; On the other hand, it is said that Zhao Song took the meaning of "emblem, beauty and goodness" to show off his recovery of this area. These two theories have coexisted for more than 800 years, and the names of counties have been used throughout the ages. When the province was established in the sixth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1667), the initials of Anqing and Huizhou were used as the provincial names.
Huangshan Mountain experienced a long orogeny and crustal uplift, as well as glacier and natural weathering, before forming its unique peak forest structure. There are many peaks in Huangshan Mountain. Seventy-two peaks are called "thirty-six peaks, thirty-six small peaks". The elevation of Lotus Peak, the main peak, is as high as1864m. It lives in the center of the scenic spot together with Tiandu Peak, the highest peak with bright top and precipitous, and there are 77 peaks over 1,000 meters around it. The peaks and peaks overlap with each other, organically combining into a three-dimensional picture with clear rhythm and great momentum.
Huangshan Mountain is mainly composed of Yanshanian granite, with developed vertical joints, strong erosion and cutting, criss-crossing fractures and long-term water erosion, forming magnificent granite caves and passages, making it a ridge canyon with 30 ridges, 22 rocks, 7 caves and 2 passes everywhere. The joints of Qianshan rock mass are sparse, the rocks are spherical and weathered, and the mountain is magnificent; Houshan rock mass is densely jointed, mostly vertically weathered, and the mountain is steep, forming a geomorphic feature of "majestic front mountain and beautiful back mountain".
The Quaternary glacial remains in Huangshan Mountain are mainly distributed in the southeast of Qian Shan. Typical glacial landforms are as follows: Kuzhu River and Xiaoyao River are "U"-shaped valleys eroded by glacial movement; Eyebrow peak and crucian carp back are two V-shaped valleys and sharp ridges left by planing. The top of Tiandu Peak is tinder left by ice bucket planing on three sides; Baizhang Spring and Herringbone Waterfall are suspended valleys formed by the confluence of glacial valley and glacier branches. Moraine stones accumulated by glaciers are distributed in the riverbed terraces from Xiaoyaoxi to Tangkou, Wuniguan and Huangshi Dang. It is said that the "Dan Jing" and "medicine mortar" used in Xuanyuan Huangdi alchemy are also ice mortars formed by glaciation.
Huangshan Mountain, in the heyday of literature and art in China's history, was widely praised as "the first strange mountain in Sinian". Today, Huangshan Mountain is famous for its magnificent scenery-strange pines growing on granite stones and strange stones appearing in the sea of clouds. For tourists, poets, painters and photographers who come to this scenic spot from all directions, Huangshan has eternal charm.
