origin

The name of nine peaks is derived from nine peaks. According to the annals of Pengxian County, Jiaqing, Qing Dynasty: "in the northwest of China, there are nine peaks standing on the sky, which is actually the crown of all the mountains in Pengyi, so it is named." What is the shape of Jiufeng? According to the records of Jiaqing, the nine peaks are white dragon, rosefinch, flame and Tianya in the northeast, backlight in China and Japan, and Xianren, Huanglong, Yuanwu and Baihu peaks in the southwest

History of development

The nine peaks are surrounded by clouds and mist, and high into the sky. When the ancient Shu people did not know the relationship between the sun and the earth, they thought that the high and straight nine peaks blocked the way of the sun and the moon. They called the canyon between the nine peaks as "Menggu" (the place where the sun sleeps). Some people who study the classic of mountains and seas say that Jiufeng Mountain is the "Lingshan" in the western classic of great waste. Wupeng, Wuwei, Wuji, Wugu, Wuzhen, Wuli, Wudi, Wuxie, Wuluo and so on, went to the world from here. All kinds of drugs are growing here. When they go to the world, they should also) collect some to treat people. Therefore, the mountain is also known as "ladder", "fairy road" and "fairyland on earth". It is said that this mountain is a mountain where "climbing is the spirit", "climbing is God", "climbing can not die", "climbing can make wind and rain", "producing immortal medicine".

In history, many monks and sages stopped here. Since the song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the story of the founder of Jiufeng has been spreading. In the past, Jiufeng Mountain awed the officials and the people. It seemed that they sincerely sought things from the mountain, but they defended the people to eliminate disasters, prayed for rain and prayed for children. The temple materials are also different. The temples in the mountains used too much iron tile and huge wood, which became an ideal raw material for legislation and steelmaking during the Great Leap Forward period.

Since 1985, the mountain has been developed into a provincial-level natural scenic spot. Religious circles are actively restoring temples and adding infinite luster to Jiufeng Mountain.
