A brief introduction to the five major freshwater lakes or five mountains in China

Among the five mountains, "Yue" means a lofty mountain. In ancient China, it was believed that the high mountains were "extremely steep in the sky", and the five high mountains located in the east, south, west, north and ** of the Central Plains were designated as the "five mountains".

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism began to build Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Wuyue, and carried out religious activities, and each "Yue" worshiped a "Yue God" (or "Great Emperor", "Shenjun", etc.) as the supreme god in charge of the Yue. The natural scenery of these mountains has also been gradually developed for mountain pilgrims to visit. As a result, Wuyue has become a scenic spot in China with the beauty of the natural landscape of the mountains and the victory of both Buddhist and Taoist cultural landscapes.

Before the Tang and Song dynasties, the five mountains were probably Buddha and Taoism, and temples and temples coexisted. After the Song Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism each relied on their political background and social power to compete with each other. By the Ming and Qing dynasties, Nanyue, Beiyue and Zhongyue still maintained the situation of Buddhism and Taoism, while Dongyue and Xiyue were dominated by Taoist forces and became the center of Taoism in China.

Wuyue is the product of the combination of ancient mountain god worship, the concept of the five elements and the emperor's patrol and sealing Zen, and was later inherited by Taoism and regarded as a famous mountain of Taoism

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