History of development

The name of nine peaks is derived from nine peaks.

"

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 the "Menggu" (the place where the sun sleeps). Some people who study the classic of mountains and seas say that Jiufengshan refers to 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.
