Monoton"Huashan is known as Xiyue and Dongyue Taishan, and was first seen in the book "Erya Shishan". The name Xiyue is said to be because King Ping of Zhou moved the capital to Luoyang, and Huashan is in the west of the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so it is called"Xiyue"。

Later, the Qin Dynasty built the capital Xianyang, and the Western Han Dynasty built the capital Chang'an, both of which were in the west of Huashan, so Huashan is no longer called"Xiyue"。It was not until Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han regime in Luoyang that Huashan was restored"Xiyue"and has been used to this day.

Huashan was originally considered a sacred mountain by the rulers of the Zhou Dynasty because the capital of the Zhou Dynasty was in Xi'an, near Huashan. Later, during the Han and Tang dynasties, the economy was highly developed, so that many people admired it, leaving a famous cultural heritage for Huashan. At the same time, Huashan is also a natural defense project, during the war, the Guanzhong area is the place where the soldiers must fight, Tongguan and Huazhou are its fortresses, and Huashan is in Huazhou.

Mount Hua was formed in the Ming Dynasty, and the whole is a granite fault block mountain, with the highest peak elevation. The steep cliff overlooks the Weihe Plain, has the tendency of standing thousands of walls, and has been a tourist attraction since ancient times. Huashan has a local mountain topography and climate, and the mountains and rivers are concentrated in rock joints, forming gullies.

Of course, due to the movement of the earth's crust, but because of its topography, there are many legends. Such as agarwood splitting the mountain to save the mother, etc.

The Huashan Mountains are granite boulders of plutonic intrusive rock mass. According to the radioisotope determination of geological scientists, the formation period of Huashan granite is about 121 million years ago, and the crust in the Huashan Mountain Range area is active, and in the process of squeezing, folding and rupturing, magma begins to rise along the fracture to the surface crust and intrude, cooling at a depth of 3-6 kilometers, and condensing into rock.

The name of Huashan Mountain first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Yu Gong", that is, there was the name of "Huashan" in the 3rd century BC. "Water Classic: Weishui Note" contains: "Its height is 5,000 yuan, cut into four directions, looking at it from afar, and like a flower.

The ancient "flower" and "Hua" are universal, so "Huashan" is "Huashan". "White Tiger Tongyi" contains: "The West is Huashan, less yin and things, and all things are blooming, so it is called Huashan."

Huashan is known as Xiyue and Dongyue Taishan, and was first seen in the book "Erya Shishan". The name Xiyue is said to be because King Ping moved eastward, and Huashan was in the west of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, so it was called "Xiyue". The Qin Empire built the capital Xianyang, and the Western Han Empire built the capital Chang'an, both of which are in the west of Huashan, so Huashan is no longer called "Xiyue".

Until the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huashan resumed the name of "Xiyue" and continues to use it today.
