Analysis:

Taihang Mountain is located at the junction of Hebei Province and Shanxi Province, and extends southward to the junction of Henan Province and Shanxi Province. It starts from the Xishan Mountain in Beijing in the north and reaches the King of Wu near the Yellow River in the south, running northeast-southwest for hundreds of kilometers. It is the eastern edge of the second step of China's topography and the eastern boundary of the Loess Plateau. The geological basement of Taihang Mountain is a composite monoclinal fold. The east side is a fault structure with a relative height difference of1500 ~ 2000m. Typical alluvial fans and alluvial plains are developed in front of the mountain. From north to south, there are Xiaowutai Mountain (2882 meters above sea level), Taibai Mountain, Baishi Mountain, Langya Mountain, Nantuo Mountain, Yangqu Mountain and Wuwang Mountain. Most rivers in the eastern part of Shanxi Plateau pass through Taihang Mountain and enter Hebei Plain, where they join the water system. Only the Qinhe River system in the southwest flows southward into the Yellow River. Taihang Mountain is an important geographical dividing line in eastern China. The North China Plain in the east is a deciduous broad-leaved forest belt, and the Loess Plateau in the west is a forest grassland belt and an arid grassland belt. There are also obvious differences in the characteristics of vegetation and soil vertical zones on both sides. There are many east-west valleys in Taihang Mountain range, which have been traffic arteries and business travel arteries since ancient times. In ancient times, there were the famous Eight Dragonflies in Taihang Mountain. King Wu is located at the southern end of Taihang Mountain, Jiyuan City in the northwest of Henan Province, which is the boundary mountain between Henan Province and Shanxi Province. The name "the king's house" first appeared in Yugong, because the mountain has three floors and looks like the king's car cover, so it was named. The King of Wu mentioned in the famous fable Liezi Yugong Mountain refers to this mountain. As one of the Eight Dragons of Taihang Mountain, passing through here is a passage from the ancient Fenhe River Basin to the Central Plains. The prince of Wu faces Zhongtiao Mountain in the west and Xicheng Mountain in the east. The average elevation in mountainous areas is above 1000 meters, and the main peak is Tiantan Mountain, with an elevation of 17 1 1 meter. There is a short river in the south of Shanxi, which flows directly south into the Yellow River. Looking across the Yellow River, there are Mangshan Mountain and Songshan Mountain, which together constitute the last mountain in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The forest in Wuwangshan is well preserved, and there are small virgin forests in the central mountainous area. The mountain area is rich in wildlife resources, including precious plant species such as Acer truncatum and Pteroceltis tatarinowii, as well as rare animals such as macaques, leopards and musk deer. At present, the comprehensive management project of soil and water conservation has been completed in King Wu, and animal and plant resources have been effectively protected. King Wu is a famous Taoist activity center in the Central Plains since the Tang Dynasty, with undulating peaks, dense vegetation, mountains like swords and rivers like dragons. Many people from all over the world came to train their apprentices, and scholars also went to the mountains to explore their victories and praise. The king of Wu has many Taoist temples. Balcony Palace is located in the southwest of Jiyuan City and at the south foot of Tiantan Mountain. It is the largest existing Ming Dynasty temple in Henan Province. The 20 stone pillars of Jade Emperor Pavilion in Liuli are carved with landscapes, figures, Yunlong and other patterns, with vivid images. Jidu Temple, located in the northwest of Jiyuan City, an ancient water source, was built in the Sui Dynasty and supplemented in the Song and Ming Dynasties. It is also a famous historical site. There are also ancient scenic spots in Wuwang Mountain area, such as Yingen Palace, Qingxu Palace, Tiantan Peak, Wuwang Cave, Fengxian Temple and daming temple. 1994 the State Council announced Wuwang-Yuntai Mountain as a national key scenic spot.
