1.~Cultural common sense~ The Five Mountains are the product of the ancient worship of mountain gods, the concept of the Five Elements, and the emperor's hunting and enshrining Zen. They were later inherited by Taoism and are regarded as famous Taoist mountains. They are: Dongyue Mount Tai (1532.7 meters), located in Shandong

Tai'an City.

Huashan Mountain (2154.9 meters) is located in Huayin City, Shaanxi Province.

Beiyue Hengshan (2016.1 meters) is located in Hunyuan County, Shanxi.

Zhongyue Songshan (1491.7 meters) is located in Dengfeng City, Henan Province.

Dongyue Mount Tai is truly the first of the Five Mountains. 72 emperors in Chinese history have visited Mount Tai to enshrine themselves.

The majesty of Mount Tai in the east, the danger of Mount Hua in the west, the tranquility of Mount Heng in the north, the steepness of Mount Song in the middle, and the beauty of Mount Heng in the south have long been famous around the world.

People often say that when returning from the Five Mountains, one does not look at the mountains. There is also a saying that "Hengshan Mountain is like walking, Taishan Mountain is like sitting, Huashan Mountain is like standing up, Songshan Mountain is like lying down, and only Nanyue Mountain is like flying".

Jiuzhou has different versions of its state names in different eras. They are generally Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou in "Yu Gong".

Later, there were twelve states, namely Bingzhou was separated from Jizhou, Yingzhou was separated from Qingzhou, and Liangzhou was separated from Yongzhou.

Generally speaking, "Jiuzhou" refers to China.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was often used to refer to the Central Plains region.

For example, Mencius' "The Matter of Qi Huan and Jin Wen": "Come to China to appease the barbarians." Sima Guang's "Battle of Red Cliff": "If you can compete with China with the people of Wu and Yue, it is better to defeat them early." "Drive China away."

Scholars traveled far and wide between rivers and lakes. "In ancient China, the Chinese people lived in the Yellow River Basin in the four directions, so it was called "Zhonghua" and was later often used to refer to the Central Plains area.

For example, "Three Kingdoms": "It is connected to China in the east and the Western Regions in the west." It has now become another name for China.

In the legend of Kyushu, my country was divided into nine administrative regions in ancient times. The state names are: Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yong.

Later it became another name for China.

Lu You's poem says: "I know everything is in vain after I die, but I am sad that all nine states are not the same." "On the Passage of Qin" "Prefaces the eight states and dynasties are in the same row." Qin lived in Yongzhou, and the eight states were added to the nine states.

The Central Plains is also called Zhongtu and Zhongzhou.

The Central Plains in a narrow sense refers to the area around present-day Henan Province, and the Central Plains in a broad sense refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River or the entire Yellow River Basin.

For example, "Departure Watch": "When the prize is awarded, lead the three armies to the north and set the Central Plains." Lu You's poem "Shi'er" reads: "On the day when the king's army sets the north to the Central Plains, family sacrifices will be made without forgetting." Refers to the entire Yellow River Basin.

"The Battle of Chibi": "Then Jingzhou was defeated and the world was shocked." "Ode to Afang Palace": "After the six kings, the four seas -." "The Tombstone of Five People": "The four seas are so big, how many people are there?" Liuhe

Up, down, and four directions generally refer to the world.

For example, "After passing the Qin Dynasty, Lun Kuang acted as the supreme and controlled Liuhe", "Then he made Liuhe his home and Dihan his palace." Li Bai's poem "Ancient Style" said: "The king of Qin swept Liuhe, how powerful he is!

"The faraway places in all directions of the Eight Wastelands are still called "the world". "On the Passage of Qin": "It encompasses the meaning of the four seas and swallows up the heart of the Eight Wastelands.

"Liang Qichao's "Young China Theory": "Throughout the ages, there will be eight shortages.

"Rivers" refers specifically to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in many ancient articles. For example, "Hongmen Banquet": "Generals fight in Henan, and ministers fight in Hebei."

""On the Passage of Qin": "Then practice Huahua City, because the river is a pond.
