Wudang Mountain, also known as Taihe Mountain and Shenshan Mountain, is located in Shiyan City, Hubei Province. According to legend, Emperor Zhenwu practiced Taoism here, so there is a saying that "it is not enough for Zhenwu", hence the name Wudang. Stretching for more than 800 miles, the natural scenery is mainly male, with multiple characteristics such as danger, strangeness, seclusion and beauty. Known as "unparalleled scenery since ancient times, the first fairy mountain in the world." Wudang Mountain is famous for its magnificent architectural scale. Its ancient buildings were built in the Tang Dynasty, and were built in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, reaching its peak in the Ming Dynasty.
* * * 33 buildings with an area of 1 10,000 square meters; After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, it still has nearly 50,000 square meters. The whole building follows the story of Taoism's "cultivating immortals through true martial arts", adopts the royal architectural style and has a unified design and layout. Its size and spacing are just right, standing by the mountain, and its layout is ingenious. It is either built on the top of a dangerous peak or hidden in the precipice and deep in the jungle, which embodies the high harmony between architecture and nature and reaches the artistic conception of "Fairy Hill and Qiongge", and is known as "China Ancient Architecture Achievement Exhibition". 1994 Wudang Mountain Ancient Architecture Complex is listed in the World Cultural Heritage List.
Hubei Bureau of Surveying and Mapping started the project of "Elevation Measurement of Main Peak of Wudang Mountain" on July 2 1 2006, and organized experts to review the surveying and mapping results of the project on August 24. This observation was carried out by the First Surveying and Mapping Institute of Hubei Province, using a dual-frequency GPS receiver and a single-point observation mode based on GPS continuous operation stations. Precisely calculated by the Geodetic Data Processing Center of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the elevation (elevation) of the main peak of Wudang Mountain is 16 12. 105m, and the data accuracy is 0.026m.
At the beginning of the survey, the staff determined that Tianzhu Peak was the highest peak of Jinding in Wudang Mountain, which was the best place to bury survey marks. It has the Golden Hall of Wudang Mountain, which is the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. It was built in the 14th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 14 16). Its depth is three rooms, with a height of 5.54m, a length of 4.4m and a width of 3.15m, all of which are gold-plated with copper, making it a rare fine copper building in the world.
In this way, how to set up measuring points without destroying the natural and human landscape has become the primary problem-in operation, we should not only consider respecting Taoist laws and regulations, but also meet the accuracy requirements of measurement. After repeated consideration and negotiation, the survey team finally set a survey mark on the slate between Jin Dian and his parents' temple on Jinding, the main peak of Wudang Mountain, as the highest point of Wudang Mountain.
Due to the steep and narrow mountain road leading to the main peak and Taoist habits, there is no drinking water facility or even a toilet on Jinding. The nearest residence is two miles away from Jinding, and the height difference between the two places is nearly 200 meters. This environment is a test for the physical strength and endurance of engineers and technicians.
In order to meet the calculation of observation mode based on tracking station, surveyors observed the elevation point of the main peak of Wudang Mountain for 8 hours on August 6, 2006. Because the GPS observation of the height of the main peak of Wudang Mountain is greatly influenced by the Golden Temple (metal surface), an antenna pole with a length of 2-3 meters is used in GPS observation to make the antenna reach more than 4 meters, which effectively reduces the influence of the Golden Temple on GPS observation.
