Hengshan Mountain, also known as Nanyue, Shouyue and Nanshan, is one of the "Five Mountains" in China. It is located in the southeast of central Hunan Province, China, between Hengyang and Xiangtan Basin, and its main part is located in Nanyue District of Hengshan County and the east of Hengyang County.
The name of Mount Hengshan, according to the Warring States Period "Shi Gan Jing", is named because it is located on the wing of the evening star in the constellation of 28 nights, and looks like a weighing instrument, which can be called heaven and earth.
Civilized Olympic area
Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue is called "Civilized Olympic Zone" because it has an ancient and long-standing civilization and is one of the important cradles of Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization is based on farming civilization. Legend has it that Zhu Rong, who lives here, first discovered the method of preserving and using fire, which made people here take the lead in bidding farewell to primitive life. Cooked food and lighting promoted the primitive civilization of Hengshan Mountain.
As a "fire official", Zhu Rong's greatest responsibility is to observe the astronomical phenomena in order to benefit the farming season. In ancient times, South Vietnam was the center of China's calendar system. Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Yao and Shun all made calendars in South Vietnam and then entered the Central Plains. Yu Xia's Li Xia is also in Nanyue. Many scholars speculate that the Yu tablet on Nanyue Mountain is a record of Dayu's use of astronomy and meteorology to guide farming and water conservancy construction.
