synonymTaihang Mountains(an important mountain range and geographical boundary in eastern China) generally refers to the Taihang Mountains
Taihang Mountains [31] Also known as Wuxing Mountain, Wangmu Mountain and Nuwa Mountain, it is an important mountain range and geographical dividing line in eastern China [14] . The Taihang Mountains as a whole lie in the middle of the North China Plate, with a geographical location of 34°35 '-40 °19' north latitude and 110°15 '-116 °27' east longitude [14] , extending in a north-northeast - south-southwest direction until Shanxi (Province) Lingchuan county The south turns east-west, with a total length of about 500 kilometers and a width of about 40-50 kilometers. [7] [14]
The Taihang Mountains are generally 1000-1500 meters above sea level, and the highest mountain section is the northern section and the middle section, which is more than 2000 meters. The relative height difference is 200-1500 meters [7] . The main peak of Taihang Mountains is Xiao Wutai Mountain It is 2,882 meters above sea level [28] , the highest peak is Mount Wutai It is 3,061.1 meters above sea level [17] [29] . The highest peak in the north is Xiao Wutai Mountain, with an elevation of 2,882 meters; The southern peak is hilly Bulzesan , Itayama The altitude is 1745 meters and 1791 meters respectively. [9]
Taihang Mountain was once used as a strategic base to open up Shanxi-chahar-hebei region , Jin, Hebei, Lu and Henan And other base areas. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of Taihang Mountain resisted the attack of the Japanese army, built the political, economic and cultural base areas, and made indelible contributions to national independence and people's liberation.

Formation and evolution

EDITOR
As early as The Northern Song Dynasty (960-907) During the years, some people put forward the analysis of the formation history of Taihang Mountain, that is, scientists Shen Kuo . At that time, he was in the Taihang Mountains, and saw that between the cliffs of Taihang Mountain, there were "shells and stones like bird eggs, and the stone walls were like belts", so he began to conduct in-depth analysis of this, and after research, he pointed out that "This is the seaside in the past, and now the east is nearly thousands of miles from the sea." In modern times, thousands of years later, geological research has confirmed his assertion. Research shows that Taihang Mountain began to gestate 100 million years ago, and began to rise and gradually form 2.4 million years ago.
As early as 2.8 billion years ago, the Taihang Mountain area was flooded by sea water and deposited huge thick clastic rocks, iron-bearing siliceous rocks and carbonate strata Wutai movement and Luliang movement The old strata in the area are generally subjected to folding and metamorphism, accompanied by fractures and quartz dike intrusion. Up to 1.8 billion years ago, the crystalline basement of migmatitization was formed.
Since the Luliang Movement 1.8 billion years ago, this area Earth's crust It entered the stage of differential elevation and elevation, which led to the back and forth of sea water, forming the mesoproterozoic platform sedimentary cover and the overlying layer respectively Paleozoic erathem Cambrian, Ordovician, Carboniferous and Permian strata. The Carboniferous to Permian strata are coal-bearing strata. [30]
It happened in the Mesozoic era Yanshan movement The neo-Cathaysian fold belt in Taihang Mountain gradually formed and developed the Taihang Mountain front deep fault belt.
Happen to Cenozoic the Himalayan movement So that Taihang Mountain strong uplift, and the front of the mountain North China Plain The relative subsidence, after millions of years of tempering, Taihang Mountain finally emerged. [1]

Location boundary

The Taihang Mountains are located in the middle of the North China Plate as a whole, with a geographical location of 34°35 '-40 °19' north latitude and 110°15 '-116 °27' east longitude. [14] Predecessors to the Zhanghe, Hutuo River as the boundary, Taihang Mountain divided into south, middle and north three sections; The western boundary of the southern section is Jincheng - Changzhi, the northern boundary is Zhanghe, the eastern boundary is Handan - Anyang - Xinxiang, the southern boundary is Jiyuan - Jiaozuo, and the southwest boundary is Wangwu Mountain. [10] The Taihang Mountains extend in the direction of NE-SW, until the south of Lingchuan County, Shanxi Province, turns east-west, slightly forming an "S" shape. It is about 500 kilometers long and 40-50 kilometers wide. The ridge extends along the boundary of the three provinces, which is the natural boundary mountain of the three provinces of Jin, Hebei and Henan, and also the dividing line between the Loess Plateau and the North China Plain.

Regional scope

Guo Yuansheng of the Jin Dynasty said in the "Record of the Conquest" : "The head of Taihang Mountain begins Hanoi (capital of Vietnam) , north to You Zhou " This is perhaps the earliest historical definition of the extent of the Taihang Mountains, although this definition is somewhat uncertain. Hanoi, Nai Xinxiang The alluvial plain in front of the southern Taihang Mountains to the west, north of the Yellow River and east of the Wangwu Mountains, including present-day Henan Jiyuan , Qinyang , caritas , martial arts, Huixian County , Win praise , Wuzhi And other plain areas. The river, the Yellow River also; The inside is also relative to the outside. This alluvial plain is sandwiched between the southern Taihang Mountains and the southern bank of the Yellow River Mangshan Mountain (in Henan Province) , Songshan Mountain Between, it can be said that this section of the Yellow River is still in the mountain "inside", there are large tributaries on both sides of the Yellow River into the Yellow River, and when the Yellow River leaves this section, completely into the vast plain "outside" of the mountain, due to sedimentation, the bed is high, the Yellow River not only no longer absorb tributaries, but become Haihe river system with Huaihe river system the watershed . "Taihang Mountain begins in Hanoi", that is, the beginning of Taihang Mountain in Jiyuan, Qinyang, Xiuwu area of the south Taihang, the meaning of this sequence is worth wondering. "North to Youzhou", the Western Jin Youzhou included the west Qi Ling Hill, Yangyuan East to Laoting, Qinhuangdao, north to Zhangjiakou, Kuancheng Therefore, there seems to be no problem that the Taihang Mountains mentioned by Guo Yuansheng include the west Mountain of Beijing and the Jundu Mountain.
The father of modern geology in China Ding Wenjiang In 1913, he visited Taihang Mountain in the second year of the Republic of China. In the article "Travel in Taihang Mountain", he discussed the scope of Taihang Mountain from the question of Taihang Baxing. He pointed out that if the Taihang Baxing said, then from the north bank of the Yellow River, all the way to Changping in Hebei province (today Peking Both are Taihang Mountains. But Ding Wenjiang believes: "The scope of the Taihang mountains seems not to be so vast, because from Jiyuan and Qinyang in Henan to Fuping in Hebei, the mountains run north-south, which is the so-called real Taihang Mountains." From Fuping, the mountains turn to the northeast, so that they go around to the north of Beiping, and then to the east to Yuguan, this section of geological structure is extremely complex, unlike Taihang itself. Weng Yongni called it Yanshan. If so, the Junduxing mountain, Feihuxing Mountain and Puyin Mountain pass in the eight mountains are located in Yanshan Mountain, not Taihang."
The Mountain Scout Club, a folk outdoor sports group, put forward a much broader concept of the Taihang Mountains in a map of the Taihang Mountains compiled in November 2008, that includes Zhongtiao Mountain , Wangwu Mountain , Taeaksan , Tie to Zhoushan , Mount Wutai , Hengshan Mountain , West mountain of Beijing , Jundu Mountain Within the Taihang Mountain system.
According to the difference of mountain trend and geological structure, Ding Wenjiang and Weng Wenhao think that the north of Fuping is not Taihang Mountain, but Yanshan Mountain, which seems to be slightly biased. First of all, the trend of the same mountain range is not always the same, affected by geological structure, it often changes in different areas. Even in the Jiyuan and Qinyang of Henan mentioned by Mr. Ding, the Taihang Mountains do not run north-south, but near east-west; If the northeast mountain range north of Fuping is divided into Yanshan Mountain, then it is not consistent with Yanshan Mountain east of Jundu Mountain, which runs nearly east-west. Second, the geological structure of the same mountain range, although generally the same, will also show differences in different sections. This is because the strata and rock composition of the mountains may span a very old geological age, for example, the oldest rock age of Taihang Mountain can reach more than 2 billion years, but the Taihang Mountains now see, its formation age is very young compared to the rock formation of the mountains, it is mainly the result of the neotectonic movement for one or two million years.
In accordance with Fan Xiao Taihang Mountain system should have two concepts, narrow and broad.
In the narrow sense of Taihang Mountain, according to the natural extension of its main vein, the southern section should include Wangwu Mountain and even Zhongtiao Mountain. If you look at it more radically, the Xiaoshan and Xionger Mountains should also be included, and the northern section should include the West Beijing Mountains and Jundu Mountains. The first pass pass of Taihang Baxing Mountain is passed through the valley of the cross-cutting mountain range of Wangwu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain. The ancients put it in Taihang Baxing, at least Wangwu Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain were classified into Taihang Mountain. Of course, if according to Mr. Ding Wenjiang's view, not only the Jundu mountain, Feihu Mountain and Puyin mountain are not in Taihang, but also the terminal Pass mountain naturally should not be in Taihang.
The broad Taihang Mountain system should include Taiyue Mountain, Tie to Zhoushan Wutai Mountain, but should not include Hengshan (there are references including Hengshan). Because Taiyue Mountain, Zhoushan Mountain, Wutai Mountain and Taihang Mountain in the narrow sense, there are no parallel main mountain rivers between them, although there are basins, but they are scattered basins with poor connectivity. The true western boundary of Taihang Mountain system should be Fenhe Basin or Fenhe Graben in central Shanxi, which runs north-south. The terrain of Shanxi is habitually called "Taihang with left hand and Luliang with right hand", which is reasonable. Between Mount Hengshan and Mount Wutai, there is a wide basin in the upper reaches of Hutuo River. This basin, which includes the important towns of Xinzhou, Dingxiang, Yuanping, Daixian, Fanzhi, etc., is actually the northern extension of the Yanle type fault basin belt in central Shanxi. The Taihang mountain system in general is supposed to be on the east side of this basin belt, and Mount Hengshan is already a mountain range on the west side of this basin belt. It also borders the Luliang Mountains to the southwest. [11-12]

geology

Tectonically, the Taihang Mountains belong to the Taihang fold belt of the third uplift system of the Cathaysian and Neocathaysian systems, which is a multi-anticlinal structural step fault uplift. The two wings of a mountain range are asymmetrical. The eastern flank descends sharply to the North China Plain with great faults, and cliffs can be seen everywhere. The slope of the west wing is slow, mostly Zhongshan, low mountains and hills. The strata of the Taihang Mountains can be divided into three sections: the northern axis of the north part of the Hutuo River is mainly composed of the deep gneiss series of Archaean mesolitic metamorphism and the shallow phyllite, SLATE, schist and conglomerate of the Proterozoic metamorphism, and the Cambrian and Ordovician limestones of the Paleozoic are distributed in the two flanks. The middle part is from south of Hutuo River to north of Zhuozhang River, and the axis is mostly the deep gneiss series of the Paleozoic migmatitization, which is characterized by magnetite quartzite. The Proterozoic is a shallow sedimentary metamorphic rock, and there are a lot of metamorphic neutral and basic volcanic rocks. The Sinian subsphere is mainly a set of extremely thick clastic rocks. The two wings are mostly Cambrian, Ordovician limestone and carboniferous, Permian sand, shale and coal-bearing series. The southern section from Zhuozhang River to Wangwushan is mostly Cambrian and Ordovician limestone and carboniferous, Permian sand, shale and coal-bearing rock series. [7]

landform

The Taihang Mountains belong to the transition area of the second and third steps in China in terms of terrain, the elevation is generally 1000-1500 meters, and the highest mountain segment is the north section and the middle section, more than 2000 meters. The relative height difference is 200-1500 meters. [7] The eastern side of Mount Taihang rises from the North China Plain, the foot of the mountain is only about 100 meters above sea level, rising sharply from east to west, the main peaks are more than 2,000 meters above sea level; The western part of the Taihang Mountains has a relatively slow terrain, many loess hills, its elevation is generally 1100-1400 meters, and the valleys and basins in the middle are relatively low, most of them are about 1000 meters above sea level. [14]
The eastern part of the anticline of Taihang Mountain is a short and steep fault with steep mountain potential, thin soil layer, rocky outcrops and cliffs. The west is a plateau, long and slow, with different depths of loess deposited everywhere, and many places form loess hill landforms. Taihang Mountains in Shanxi Province, there is a large synclinal structure between Taihang Mountain anticline and Huoshan (Taiyue Mountain) anticline, is the Changzhi Basin. In addition, there are some small intermountain basins, such as Jiayuan basin, Lingqiu basin, Hengqu basin and so on. Linzhou Basin was formed in Henan Province. As can be seen from the above situation: Taihang Mountain is a Mountainous region Mainly, with loess hills, Intermontane basin Distributed complex mountain landforms. [14]
Most of the peaks are jagged and rounded, such as Taibai Mountain in the northern section, which is not only steep and steep, but also has beautiful scenery; In the middle area of Zuoquan and Licheng, a set of clastic rock formation dominated by quartz-like sandstone formed by the Sinian subrealm constitutes "Danxia" landform with unique landscape; In the southern section, there are karst depressions, valleys, karst caves and karst springs, which are rare in northern China karstification Mountains. [7]

Climatic characteristics

Taihang Grand Canyon
The southeast part of the Taihang Mountains is affected by the warm and wet air of the Pacific Ocean, with high temperature and high precipitation, so the southern part of the Taihang Mountains belongs to the warm temperate semi-humid climate zone, but the northwest part is affected by the dry and cold air of the northwest, and the continental climate is obvious, so the northern part of the Taihang Mountains has a cool climate and less precipitation, and belongs to the warm temperate semi-dry early climate zone. The northern part of Hengshan is a temperate semi-arid climate area. From the south to the north, the average annual temperature in Pinglu County near the Yellow River is 13.7℃, and drops to 4-6 ℃ in Hengshan area, with a variation of nearly 10℃. The extreme minimum temperature is -21℃ in the northern mountains of Henan Province, and drops to -37.3℃ in Hunyuan in the north. The lowest temperature is -44.8℃ in the top of Wutai Mountain, and the extreme maximum temperature is 42.4℃ in Ruicheng in the south of Henan Province. The accumulated temperature of ≥10℃ in the whole region is generally 2500 (north) to 4500℃ (south). Frost-free period is generally 120-200 days. The average annual precipitation in the south is generally 550-650 mm, while in the north is 400-500 mm, and the annual and monthly variations of precipitation are great, for example, the annual precipitation in northern Henan is as low as 200 mm and as high as 1000 mm. The annual precipitation in Taihang Mountain area is mainly concentrated in July-September, which can reach 60-70% of the whole year, and there are many heavy rains, which cause serious soil erosion. [14]

Drainage condition

Taihang Grand Canyon
There are many rivers in the southern part of Taihang Mountain, belonging to the Yellow River system or the Haihe river system. The larger rivers in the region are Zhanghe, Dan River and Qin River, all originating in Shanxi Province, flowing from west to east through the Taihang Mountains to the North China Plain, and the eastern mountains have Zifang River, Yu River, Qi River and other rivers. [10] Taihang Mountain is the water source area of Beijing and Tianjin and the North China Plain, and plays an important role in the water supply of these areas. [14]

vegetation

  • Horizontal distribution
Crop communities are mainly distributed in basins, loess hilly areas, hills and plain areas at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, and agricultural land in mountainous areas.
The southern Zhongtiao Mountain region has a mild climate, more precipitation, and lush natural vegetation with many kinds. There are mainly Huashan pine forests, Pinus tabulaeformis forest , poplar forest, Birch forest , Fuzi oak forest, quercus and other broad-leaved forest, White bark pine forest , Platycladus orientalis , and Chaste tree , Wild jujube And shrubs mixed with artemisia and grass. In addition, there are Taxus chinensis , Southern Yew , Quercus spathulata , Collar wood And other rare species.
The central East and west mountains belong to the semi-humid climate area, the altitude is higher, and the distribution of cold and warm vegetation types. There are mainly North China larix larix forest, white pole forest, green pole forest, pine forest, aspen forest, birch forest, Liaotung oak, cork oak mainly oak forest, Carpinus carpinus forest, walnut forest, white bark pine forest, side Berlin and so on Sea buckthorn , lespedeza , Tiger hazelnut , Mountain peach , Prickly lily , A grasshopper's leg , Yellow rose , yellow filter, spiraea Wait for the brush. In addition swallowwort , sedge A community of grasses, such as artemisia, and artemisia, mixed with shrubs, such as chia, caragana, and river. In the higher elevation of the mountain, there are Caragana and golden dew shrub.
North of the inner Great Wall is a temperate grassland area with few natural vegetation. Only in the area of Hengshan, there are North China larix forest, white pole and green pole forest, aspen and birch forest and a few Pinus tabulaeformis forest. There are also some shrubland and shrub communities, mainly Chinese sea buckthorn shrubland, white leymus and thyme shrubland, herb ephedra and Radix astragalus. In the large hilly area of the basin, in addition to farmland, there are sandy and desertification areas of different sizes, and only some xerophytic or saline weeds grow sparsely. After 1949, plantation was made of poplar microphylla forest, Pinus camphor forest, Pinus tabulaeformis forest, Chinese sea buckthorn forest and Caragana caragana. [14]
  • Vertical distribution
The vertical difference of Taihang Mountains is very great, such as the southern slope of Xiaowutai Mountain, below 1000 meters, there are shrubs, mistletree community distribution; Occasional spruce or larch above 1000 m. Below 1600 meters on the north slope is summer green forest, 1600-2500 meters is coniferous forest, and above 2500 meters is subalpine grassland. [9]

Origin of name

" Lieh Tzu "" Shang Shu Yu Gong It's called Taihang Mountain. " Huai Nan Zi It's called the Five Elements Mountain. "Too" is also big, "line" ranks also, Taihang, for a series of tall mountains also, so the name. [7]

Red culture

After the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China named Mount Hengshan, Lvliang Mountain Taihang Mountain and other strategic bases, the Eighth Route Army three divisions scattered deployment, guerrilla warfare. In the Taihang Mountains, opened up the Shanxi-Chaha-Ji, Shanxi-Ji-Lu-Yu and other base areas. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of Taihang Mountain resisted the attack of the Japanese army, built the political, economic and cultural base areas, and made indelible contributions to national independence and people's liberation.

Greening project

The Taihang Mountains in Anyang are tall and steep.
In China Taihang Mountain National Park Construction of afforestation projects of forest species. The Taihang Mountains stretch from the Yellow River in the south to the Yanshan Mountains in the north, to the Fenhe River in Shanxi Province in the west, and to the North China Plain in the east. There are 110 counties in the Taihang Mountains, including Hebei, Shanxi, Henan and Beijing, of which 39 are poor counties, accounting for 28%. The total area is more than 14 million hectares. Taihang mountainous area has steep mountain slopes, bare rocks, scarce vegetation, serious soil and water loss, the local economy is backward, and the people live in poverty.

Scientific value

The significance of Taihang Mountain is not only in itself, but also in the Quaternary period since more than two million years, it is because of the strong uplift of Taihang Mountain, there is the continuous subsidence of the basin east of Taihang Mountain, and the great fault on the eastern edge of Taihang Mountain caused this kind of terrain, which makes the west constantly cut the mountain and remove the soil, and the east constantly reclaimed land. The scientific research on the ancient coastal remains has shown that the North China coastline was still located at the Taihang foothills along the Baoding -- Shijiazhuang -- Handan -- Anyang line in 7400 years ago. At this time, if the ancients climbed Taihang Mountain to overlook the east, it should be the scene of the sea facing the wind and the boundless ocean. At about the same time or later, the Yangshao cultural site was still between South Taihang and Funiu Mountain, where the Yellow River just left Sanmenxia in the east. With the advance of the plain in front of the Taihang Mountains to the east, the propagation of civilization also expanded to the east. At the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains in Anyang, Henan Province, the Yin ruins of more than 3,000 years ago appeared ruins . At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty about 1,800 years ago, when Cao Mengde defeated Yuan Shao and swept the North, a large area from Tianjin on the North China Plain to the present Yellow River Delta was still under the sea, so Cao Cao's unified northern China could not be described in the same light as today. Therefore, it is not too much to say that the Taihang Mountains are the mother land of the North China Plain. [11]
