Ticket prices for various scenic spots in Hengshan Mountain


The naming of Hengshan Mountain has various explanations. The Zhou Li states: "To the north of Bingzhou, its mountain is called Hengshan Mountain"; Baihu Tong says: "North represents the end of Yin and the beginning of Yang, its way is enduring, therefore it is called Changshan"; Fengsu Tong says: "Eternal and constant, all things submit to the North, it is constant". Another explanation is that Hengshan Mountain's shape is horizontal, and "heng" (横) and "heng" (恒) are similar in pronunciation. Another explanation is that it is named after the Hun River, anciently called Hengshui. The Shudian calls it the Northern Mount. The Yugong calls it Taihang Hengshan Mountain. The Zhenzhong Mishu calls it Tai Hengshan Mountain, Hengzongmingyue. The Shui Jing Zhu calls it Yuan Yue, Zi Yue, and also "Damao Mountain", "Shenjian Mountain", etc. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, it was renamed Changshan due to the avoidance of the name Liu Heng; during the Yuanhe years of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Zhenyue; during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, it was renamed Changshan again due to the avoidance of the name Zhao Heng. Despite many other names, the basic names are "Hengshan Mountain" and "Changshan". Guanzi says: "Heng (恒) represents the constant way of Heaven." Therefore, "heng" (恒) and "chang" (常) both imply "enduring". Tracing back the origin of the Northern Mount, as early as the time of Yao, he appointed the four sons of Xi He to govern the four sacred mountains, Xi Zhong as the governor of the Eastern Mount, Xi Shu as the governor of the Southern Mount, He Zhong as the governor of the Western Mount, and He Shu as the governor of the Northern Mount. During the reign of Emperor Shun, he spent a year inspecting the four sacred mountains, going east to Mount Tai in February, south to Mount Heng in May, west to Mount Hua in August, and north to Hengshan Mountain in November. According to the Shangshu, Emperor Shun went north to inspect Hengshan Mountain in November of winter, and when he arrived at Quyang in Jizhou, a heavy snow blocked the mountain, preventing him from proceeding. He then paid homage to the mountain, and a huge stone flew from Hengding and landed before him. Emperor Shun enshrined this stone as the "An Wang Stone", and later generations built the "Feishi Dian" in Quyang. Since then, Hengshan Mountain has also left behind the "Feishi Remains". Although this is just a legend, the Shudian and Yugong were both written during the Qin and Han dynasties. At that time, there were "twelve famous mountains in the world, and two of them were Hengshan Mountain", showing that as early as two thousand years ago, Hengshan Mountain was known as the second mountain in the world. And Erya says: "Hengshan Mountain is the Northern Mount". In other words, as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, Hengshan Mountain was already called the Northern Mount.
