Mount Fuji (Japanese: Mount Fuji /ふじさん [41] ; Mount Fuji is located in Japan Honshu South central, east distance Tokyo About 80 kilometers, [1] locate 35°21 '39 "N, 138°43' 39" E [41] , 3776 meters above sea level (Jianfeng [41] ), [34] Across Japan Shizuoka with Yamanashi , [6] Covering an area of about 1200 square kilometers, [2] It has a volume of about 500 cubic kilometers. [11] Mount Fuji is the highest peak in Japan and one of the largest active volcanoes in the world. [38] Mount Fuji belongs to Fuji Volcanic belt This ring of fire is mainly from The Mariana Islands Rise and pass Izu Islands , Izu Peninsula reach Honshu Northern one Volcanic chain It is a long-term observation volcano by the Japan Meteorological Agency [41] . [6]
Mount Fuji is Japan One of the classic symbols of spirit and culture, [3] In the heart of the Japanese people is a natural charm, beautiful, solemn sacred mountain. Since ancient times, it has been the theme of Japanese literature, but also the sacred place of Japanese reverence, is a part of Japanese folk religion. [4] Mount Fuji is a conical mountain with perennial snow on its summit. Around the foothills of Mount Fuji, there are five Fresh water lake Collectively" Fuji Five Lakes ". [1]
Mount Fuji is rated as one of the three spirit mountains in Japan and one of the top 100 mountains in Japan. [5] It is called "Furong Peak" or "Fu Yue" and "the best high mountain". [6] In February 1936, it was designated Fuji Hakone Izu National Park . On June 22, 2013, Mount Fuji was inscribed on the World Heritage List by the 37th session of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, making it the 17th site in Japan World heritage site . The registered name of Mount Fuji at the time of its inclusion on the Heritage List was determined to be "Mount Fuji - an object of faith and a source of art." [7]
On February 1, 2024, according to Japan's Kyodo News agency, the Yamanashi Prefecture government plans to levy 2,000 yen (about 98 yuan) on the Yoshida Route, a hiking trail on the Yamanashi side, from the beginning of this summer's Fuji climbing season. The toll. [42]

Formation and evolution

broadcast
EDITOR
Mount Fuji was formed about 10,000 years ago, is a very typical stratovolcano, in terms of shape, belongs to the standard cone volcano. The basement is Tertiary strata. At the beginning of the Quaternary period, the volcanic lava broke through the Tertiary strata, and the mountain was formed after the eruption and accumulation, and later, after several eruptions, the volcanic eruptions piled up layer by layer, and became a cone stratovolcano. So far, the formation process of Mount Fuji can be roughly divided into the following four stages, which are the first small Amatake , Ogonake, Ancient Fuji, New Fuji. Among them, the oldest volcano is the Senogonake, which was formed hundreds of thousands of years ago during the Pleistocene. In April 2004 Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo Go by Investigation and research It was found that an older mountain was found under the small imperial mountain, and the fourth mountain was named "first small imperial Mountain". The ancient Fuji erupted continuously from about 80,000 years ago until about 15,000 years ago tephra Formed after the material settlement, its height is close to the elevation of 3000 meters. According to speculation, the summit should have been located 1 km to 2 km north of the present Baoyong crater. [6]
Structure map of Mount Fuji
About 11,000 years ago, the western side of the summit of Ancient Fuji suddenly erupted in large quantities of lava. This lava formed the main body of the existing Mount Fuji known as Shinfuji. From then on, the peaks of ancient Fuji and New Fuji began to be side by side. About 2,500 to 2,800 years ago, some parts of the ancient Fuji Peak caused a large-scale landslide due to weathering, so now only the top of the new Fuji mountain is still standing between heaven and earth. [6] Between 8000-4500 BP, small explosive eruptions dominated the activity, and between 4500-3000 BP, another major lava flow appeared. This was followed by intermittent large eruptions with secondary lava flows and small pyroclastic flows. Summit eruptions dominate between 3,000 and 2,000 BP, after which the vents on either side are active. Extensive basaltic lava flows from the summit, and some of the more than 100 lateral cones and vents block drainage channels leading to the Misaka Mountains on the volcano's north side, creating Fuji Five Lakes, a popular tourist destination. [37] Boyeongsan It is the most prominent parasitic volcano around Mount Fuji, located in the southeast slope of Mount Fuji, it was formed in Japan four years, 2693 meters high, and on the west side of Mount Baonaga, there is also a huge Volcano crater . And all the rain and snow that falls on Mt. Fuji will form underground water veins under the surface and then rush out. There are four main attractions, namely Shino Hachikai White line waterfall, persimmon River, Yong jade pool. [6]

geology

Mount Fuji is in a special location Plate motion 's" Triple junction "( Amur plate , The Okhotsk Plate and Philippine sea plate ), [13] It is also located in northeast Japan Island arc , southwest Island arc and Izu - Ogasawara The arc junction. On one hand due to Pacific plate On the other hand, due to the tension between the Philippine Sea plate and the surrounding area of Mount Fuji, the geological activity is active, resulting in basalt repeated Fissure eruption To form Mount Fuji. [11]
Mount Fuji is One of the largest active volcanoes in the world, [38] It consists of basalt, picrite basalt. [37]

landform

  • Altitude
Mount Fuji is 3,776 meters above sea level. [34]
  • Mountain slope
Mount Fuji is high in the clouds, the top of the mountain is white with snow, like a hanging upside down fan, so it also has" Jade fan "Said. [6] Fujisan Slope Angle Increases as the terrain rises, according to the average Angle of inclination It can be divided into three areas. The maximum inclination Angle is 31 to 35° from the summit to 1.5 to 2 km from the crater rim. This is with dry gravel Angle of repose Correspondingly, the gravity fall of particles dominates the geomorphic formation process. The gravity fall of particles is still a major factor in the formation of the landform in the 0.5 to 1 km slope length immediately adjacent to this region, but the surface sediment contains more chalky As a result, the material rest Angle decreases, and the slope Angle decreases to about 27°. The effect of water flow is more pronounced in the lower terrain, where the slope gradually decreases from 23° in the middle to less than 10° in the foothills. In general, the slope on the east side is smaller than the slope on the west side because westerlies Bringing more ash to the eastern side of the mountain. Although the slope differences are relatively small, they directly affect the presence of pyroclastic flow deposits, as they generally cannot exist on slopes with gradients greater than 33°. [11]
  • Volcano crater
The surface of the crater on the summit of Fuji is approximately 500 meters in diameter and about 250 meters deep. Around the edges of the jagged crater are the "eight peaks of Fuji", namely Kenfeng, Hakushan Mountain, Kusu Shishima Mountain, Ohinichi Mountain, Izu Mountain, Akieko Mountain, Komagake He SAN Yue. [6]
  • piedmont
The foothills of Mount Fuji are located Suruga Bay To the big trench area between the fish river [1] It has a circumference of about 125 km (together with the piedmont lava flows) and a base diameter of about 40-50 km. [6]
  • Lava flow
Lava tree
Due to the lower viscosity of basaltic lava, some of it flows from Mount Fuji Lava flow Moving distance up to 20 kilometers. Lava is often associated with two types microrelief To tie together: Lava pipe / Tunnels and lava trees. More than 70 have been found Lava tunnel In many of these tunnels, the temperature is low, and even in the summer, the tunnel walls and residual ice on the ground will still have a cooling effect. Therefore, it is often necessary to explore these tunnels Spiked shoes . There are also small ground depressions in some tunnels due to tunnel roof collapse. Lava trees form when lava flows through a forest. Standing or fallen trees are covered Volcanic lava It swallows, burns and disappears, leaving a void shaped like a well or a small cave. Mount Fuji is home to the largest number of lava trees in the world.
  • Scoria cone
There are more than 100 small eruptions on the side of Mount Fuji Scoria cone . Scoria cones are mainly concentrated in the two lines running through the summit from northwest to southeast and from northeast to southwest, with the former being more numerous.
  • Valleys and landslides
Although the overall shape of Mount Fuji is conical, there are some valleys and gullies, especially in the steep summit area. The two most obvious valleys are the Yoshida-Osawa Valley on the northeast side and the Osawa-Kuzure Valley on the west side, near the top of the volcano, at the upper end of the valley, there are large landslide . The Osawa-Kuzure Valley is larger, with a maximum depth of about 200 meters and an annual average Sediment production About 1.6 x 10 5 Cubic meter. Under OSAwa-Kuzure Alluvial fan deposit Dating shows that large landslides in this valley began to form about 1,000 years ago.

hydrology

Osawa-Kuzure Valley
The near-surface sediments of New Mt. Fuji are mainly porous lava and volcanic ash, while the sediments of ancient Mt. Fuji are less porous and contain more argillaceous components. As a result, runoff from the slopes of Mount Fuji tends to seep in and be confined within new Mount Fuji. In the foothills, underground water flows form ponds, streams, and even some large lakes in many places. Underground water Isotopic composition It shows that the rainfall on both sides of the intermediate volcanic zone in the height range of 1100 meters to 2700 meters is Mount Fuji Groundwater recharge The main source. Ponds and lakes at the base of Mount Fuji formed in part because lava flowed into valleys, blocking rivers, or separating existing bodies of water. Fuji Five Lakes It is a group of large lakes located at the northern foot, about 1000 meters above sea level. In 864, lava from Parasitic cone Flowing to the northern foot, it divided an already existing large lake into Jingjin Lake and West Lake, and lava also entered Jingjin Lake at that time. The water level of the two lakes is almost the same because the groundwater passes through the pores Magmatic rock Make the flow. from Estuary lake , Yamanaka Lake and Benqi lake Sediments extracted from the bottom of the lake indicate that these lakes or their precursors existed before the Holocene.

vegetation

The vertical distribution of Mount Fuji is very obvious, the subtropical evergreen forest below 500 meters above sea level, the temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest between 500 and 2000 meters, the cold temperate coniferous forest between 2000 and 2600 meters, and the alpine and dwarf forest belt above 2600 meters. [6] The vegetation distribution of Mt. Fuji mainly reflects the temperature gradient with height. The areas above 1500 m above sea level are not densely vegetated and are considered volcanic deserts, while the lower elevations are mainly Primary forest . [11]

The crater at the top of Mount Fuji has erupted 18 times, with the most recent eruption occurring in 1707. Although it is currently in dormancy But there will be a jet at any time. [3]
On the record History of Japan Up, Mount Fuji Volcanic activity The most active period is Heian period Early 9th century. The historical book "The Japanese Chronicle" says:" A surname In June of nineteen years (800), Suruga Kuni From the fourteenth of March last year to the eighteenth of April last year, the mountain of Fuji has burned itself, the smoke has darkened in the day, the fire has illuminated the sky at night, its sound is like thunder, the ash is like rain, and the water below the mountain is red."
For twenty-one years (802), the "Japan Chronicle" said: "Suruga phase touch the country, Suruga country Mount Fuji, day and night constant meteor, gravel such as fog scattered, seeking the Bu Wu, occupy the day, thousands of diseases, it is appropriate to make the two countries add town thanks, and read the Sutras to fight against the plague ( syncopation May (medium slightly) methyl pente, waste phase touch National football team Handle the road, open the Luho road, with Fuji burnt gravel plug road also." This is the famous "Yanli Great Spitfire" in Japanese history.

Zhenguan Sixth year (864), history book" Three Generations of Japanese Chronicles "(May 25, Zhenguan six years), Junhe Kokuyan, Fuji-gun Positive three place Shallow god big mountain fire, its potential is very bright, burning the mountain one or two Xu, light inflammation high twenty Xu zhang, big sound like thunder, earthquake three degrees, more than ten days, the fire is not extinguished, Jiao rock collapse, sandstone To the northwest of the mountains, there was a sea of water, and the rocks they burned flowed into the sea, for a distance of thirty miles, a breadth of three or four miles, and a height of two or three miles, and the flame was the kingdom of Kaffir." In July of the same year, Mount Fuji continued to spew fire. "Three Generations of Japan Record" again recorded: (Zhenguan six July) 17 the year of Xinchou Jia Fei country words, Suruga country Fuji mountain, suddenly there is a violent fire, burning the hills, vegetation coke, soil collapse rock flow, buried Hachiyongun Living and rowing two seas of water, hot as soup, Fish and turtle All die, Civilian dwelling Houses, buried with the sea, or there is no house, its number is difficult to remember, east of the two seas, there is also a sea of water, called the estuary sea, the flame to the estuary sea, the Benqi sea, before burning and burying, the earth earthquake, lightning storm, Rain and fog Dark, the mountains are hard to distinguish, and then there is this disaster. This big fire is also called "Zhenguan big fire" in history. According to the records, this great spout caused a large amount of lava to flow out, and as a result, the sea at the northern foot of Mount Fuji was filled and disappeared, and at the same time, it was born Jingjin Lake And the West Lake. Another consequence of being buried in lava was the birth of the present Aokigahara Kikai . It was only the second month after this great Spout that the Yamato Court issued the "Zhenxie" order. In order to give thanks and offer sacrifices, the necessary documents were indispensable, and Do Liang Xiang was one of the objects who was ordered to draft the documents, leaving behind the "Record of Mount Fuji".
On November 23, 1707, the fourth year of Baonaga, Mount Fuji erupted again, this time in the city of Edo spewing about 700 million cubic meters, and continuous flying down for several weeks, known as the "Baonaga eruption." The emperor at that time Arai Shiraishi Some details of the eruption were recorded in his memoir, "Zexiang Chai". Its sediment covers almost the entire area Namguandong Area. [14]
Adopted in October 2009 GPS observation Confirmed the Fuji Crustal fluctuation . It has been confirmed for the first time since the observation began in April 1996. This crustal shift saw a change of up to two centimeters, Fujiomiya City with Fuji About two centimeters in between. This suggests that lava is building up. [15]
Although no significant changes in volcanic activity have been observed around Mount Fuji, slight movements have been detected in large craters in the area. And according to the study: because the volcano underground magma And hot water is easily damaged, which is why it causes mass earthquakes. [3]

Natural resources

Mount Fuji is a Natural botanical garden There are more than 2,000 kinds of plants on the mountain, and there are two craters of different sizes on the top of the mountain, and there is snow all year round. At the northern foot of the five barrier lakes (Fuji five lakes: Yamanaka, estuary, West, Jin Jin, Benqi), reflecting the snow, lake light mountains, making the scenery of Mount Fuji beautiful, more promote to become a tourist attraction in Japan. But also opened up a variety of parks, science halls, museums and a variety of play places. [6]

Tourism resources

  • Fuji Five Lakes
At the northern foot of Mount Fuji are Fuji Five Lakes . From east to west are Yamanaka Lake , estuary lake, West Lake , Jingjin Lake and Benqi lake . The mountain lake is the largest with an area of 6.75 square kilometers. There are many sports facilities near the lake where you can play tennis, Water skiing , fishing, camping and boating. In the southeast of the lake, Shinnomura Village, there are eight ponds such as Chung Pool and Mirror Pool, collectively known as" Shino Hachikai It is connected with the lake in the mountains. Kawaguchi Lake is the earliest developed of the five lakes, Traffic here Very convenient, has become the five lakes sightseeing center. Pelican Island in the lake is the only island in the five lakes. There is a shrine on the island dedicated to giving birth to pregnant women. There is also a 1260-meter-long bridge across the lake. The reflection of Mount Fuji in Kawaguchi Lake is called one of the wonders of Mount Fuji. [6]
West Lake, also known as the West Sea, is the quietest of the five lakes. It is said that West Lake and Jingjin Lake were originally connected, and later divided into two lakes due to the eruption of Mount Fuji, but the bottom of the two lakes is still connected in 2018. There is on the bank Red leaf Terrace , Aokigahara Kikai Mingze ice cave, foot Hotan mountain and other scenic spots. Jingjin Lake is Fuji Five Lakes The smallest of the lakes, but its style is the most unique, the lake shore has many high cliffs, the terrain is complex. The lake is the deepest, with a maximum depth of 126 meters. The lake, ice-free all year round, was a deep blue, imbued with unfathomable mystery. [6]
  • Aokigahara Kikai
At the northwest foot of Mount Fuji, there is a large area of forest called "Aokigahara Tree Sea" beside West Lake. Thousands of years ago there was a very large lake here. In 864, Mt. Fuji was known as the Sadakan Great Spout, and lava filled most of the lake, creating a vast area of about 40 square kilometers today. On this lava, the primeval forest, which began to form in the 9th century, is thick and deep.
Aokigahara tree sea strange terrain, dense trees, mainly to Coniferous tree and Broad-leaved tree Mostly, with Amazon The original forest is similar. But because of the climate, trunk Although not as thick and dense as the primeval forests of the Amazon, there is a strong connection between trees, and even between trees and moss. This scene also makes this sea of trees full of mystery. Because it is a tree that grows on lava, the roots cannot extend deep into the earth, so the surface is intertwined. And the easy toppling of trees is a characteristic of this forest. In the forest, you can still see the formation of more than 100 years ago Lava landform There is a thousand years of moss no one has stepped on.
Perhaps because of the ease of transportation and the high degree of privacy, many Japanese choose to commit suicide here. This has also made Aokigahara a well-known "suicide resort" in Japan, and has left many vivid and supernatural legends. The police had to set up signs deep in the forest to advise people to value life and not to commit suicide Warning board .
Around the forest, there is a sky high beech And leaf Zelkova zelkova , Chinese pine And so on, tangled in the cracked lava crevices. The fallen trees exposed their white skin, and the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves. The bones of some suicides were trampled to pieces by wild animals. Geological data It shows that Aokigahara is rich in iron ore. The compass cannot be used in the forest because of the magnetic field of the volcanic lava. That would explain why someone would get lost in the woods. Maybe these dead people, not all want to kill themselves, most likely because they can't get out of the forest because they are lost. [6]
  • Nanlu area
At the southern foot of Mount Fuji is a vast plateau with green grass and herds of cattle and sheep Natural pasture . The southwest foot of the mountain is famous White waterfall and Sound stop waterfall . The white waterfall has a drop of 26 meters and is divided into more than ten sections from the rock wall trickle Forming a rain curtain more than 130 meters wide. The Yinzhi waterfall is like a giant column crashing down from the height. [6]
in Shizuoka Susano The foothills of Fuji, there Fuji Safari Park It has an area of 740,000 square meters and keeps more than 1,000 kinds of 40 species Wild animal There are more than 30 lions alone. Visitors can drive a car and watch various animals in the park. Located on the summit of the holy temples - Hisushi Shrine and Asama Shrine are Fuji Hakone Izu National Park The main scenic area is also a popular place for tourists. Thousands of domestic and foreign tourists visit the hilltop shrine every summer. In addition, Fuji Mountain also has fantasy travel hall, insects museum Department of Natural Science, Kishi Museum, Fuji Museum, large science Museum, Botanical garden, wild bird park, wild monkey park and various sports and entertainment venues. [6]
The number of visitors to Mount Fuji is increasing, reaching an average of about 300,000 per year. [27]

Historical evolution

To the ancient Japanese, Mount Fuji was an object of worship, viewed from a distance, and the Asama Shrine was built at the foot of Fuji to suppress the eruption of Mount Fuji.
Since the late Heian Period, the eruption activity of Mt. Fuji has been quiet, becoming a mountain belief and relationship from ancient Japan Esoteric Buddhism isomixis Way of cultivation The Ashram evolved from the object of "remote worship" to the mountain of "worship." In the first half of the 12th century, the last master built the Daiichi Temple on the top of the mountain. In addition, to Muromachi period In the latter half of the period, not only practitioners, but also ordinary people began to "climb" Mount Fuji, and Fuji mountaineering gradually became popular.
Since then, Japan Warring States Period Hasegawa Kakuyuki organized the new Mt. Fuji belief into a doctrine, in Edo period In the middle period, it became popular in the Kanto region as "Fujiku", and many people began to Mount Fuji and visit the holy places such as Shiraisinotaki Go on a pilgrimage . to Meiji era Women's mountaintop climbing has also been lifted. [12]

Origin of mountain name

fuji, pronounced fuji (ふじ) in Japanese, has its origins in several ways: huchi, meaning volcano, in the Ainu language of Japan; Korean puru, representing the word "fire"; The Malay language represents "excellent" pronunciation of "puji" or "fuji". The pronunciation of the old Japanese word "fuji" that points to the inclined or vertical side.
It's about the Ainu language advocate It was British missionary Baila in Japan since 1877. But this claim was first adopted by Japan more than 70 years ago linguist Kinda a Kyosuke A total denial. He thinks that if the etymology of "huchi" is investigated in the history of Chinese phonology, we will find that those who hold such a statement are missing the test.
From the first recorded Japanese books, Nara period In the compilation of the "Changlu Country", fuji was first written as "Fukui" (fuji). In the collection of poems Manyoushu In the book, he used words such as "endless mountain", "Bushi", and "cloth two". They were both pronounced "ふじ" and later developed the use of "undead." The word "Fuji" first appeared in the Heian period in the "Mount Fuji" Yuniki "Day should be the first year July Six days, Suruga Kuni Talk. It rained ash on Mount Fuji." However, the current meaning of "Fuji" means "a rich mountain for scholars." This is from the earliest days of Bushido Kamakura period The meaning of birth.
According to the statistics of Shintaro Uemura in the Mystery of Mount Fuji, Mount Fuji now has at least 150 or more names. Such as: no self, blessed land, rich kindness, blessed land, descending, Wind poetry The woman is exhausted, etc. These words are all pronounced as "ふじ". Other names besides "ふじ" include Fuyue, Furong, Penglai Mountain, Bayan Mountain, Snow Mountain and so on.
The Japanese have "Mount Fuji" and "Mount Fuji" written in exactly the same way, the only difference being that without the treasure cap, the word "Fujiyama" is an odd number of 11 strokes. The Japanese like odd numbers. And I like odd numbers for the same reason Yin-yang path Is related to the origin. [16]

poesy

The Japanese have worshipped Mount Fuji for thousands of years, literati They competed to eulogize.
Japan's oldest Waka book Manyoushu There are already 11 poems about Mount Fuji. The most famous of these is the 8th century Nara Early court singer Yamabe Akato, his famous words in praise of Mount Fuji: "Out of Taerura, look at Mount Fuji." The snow fell on the mountains." This short song by the Akai is considered by the Japanese to be the oldest song to sing about Mount Fuji. Next came the Takahashi worm Maro , he goes from Kai The side sings Mount Fuji. In the long song, he wrote: "Kai Kai and Suruga, Fuji stand between. The mountains are high, but it is difficult for birds to cross the top. Fire is extinguished by falling snow, and snow is reduced by fire."
Completed in 905, by Daigo Emperor decreed Collections of ancient and modern Waka songs "And described Mount Fuji as a symbol of burning love. As Fujiwara Tadayuki's poem: "Meet with the king, whether it is not clear." Fuji Mountain fire, always burning is my love." There is" Sakura Song People "said of the west, there is a career in the most confident Waka:" Fuji clouds, the wind floating in the sky." I don't know where I'm gone, just like I think." To the west, there are three other Waka songs about Mount Fuji, which belong to a kind of poetry that can be written without looking at the mountain. But this Waka was actually sung after seeing Mount Fuji. He came from Kyoto twice Kanto region .
By the Kamakura period, many Japanese had already seen Mount Fuji. Such as Kamakura Shogunate The pioneer of Minamoto no Yoritomo The song: "Fuji fireworks shade the Clear day", is to see Mount Fuji. But his son Minamoto Minoritomo Lacking a sense of Mount Fuji, there are only two poems, the love song Fuji and the snow Fuji, among many poems.
Pine tail banana "The shower came and went, Clouds and mist wreathed the air . The days without seeing Mount Fuji are also interesting." It captures a conceptual Mount Fuji from a different perspective. Contemporary with plantain, i.e Genroku Contemporary scholar Chichong (1640-1701), he felt the spiritual side of Mount Fuji and wrote more than 100 poems about Fuji alone. Japanese culture The purest thing is embodied through Mount Fuji. So compared with the scenery, Chi Chong Yong is singing the essence of the Japanese spirit. The conscious combination of Mount Fuji and the Japanese spirit in the concept probably began from Chitsu.
In the song and dance prostitute's rhapsodism, there is such a popular line: "There is the Fuji Mountain in the west, and there is the north. Tsukuba Mountain . The two are equal, like IDA Under sleeve "
A haiku in Kyoto With Xie Wu village Recalling his own trip to Edo, he left a vivid sentence through the ages: "In the new green leaves flooded, only Fuji one lone peak."
It was published during the Edo period during the reign of Ernst and Young A form of Chinese poetry called Haiku In the collection, under the title of Fuji overlooking, recorded the following haiku: "Bright moon Suruga, hazy visible Fuji shadow." (Surong Saku) "Snow drifts on the top of Fuji Mountain. This scene belongs to Edo." "Today's New Year's Eve, overlook Fuji, to forget the old year." (by BMW)
Ota do irrigation (1432-1486), Edo Castle The original builder, in response to the emperor's question about his residence, replied to the emperor with a poem: the emperor's secret nunnery, offshore Lian Matsubara . Mount Fuji is majestically visible through the window.
It is known as "Japanese Li Du" Ishikawa Takayama (1583-1672), written Chinese poetry Mount Fuji: "Cyclamen comes to the top of the cloud outside, Shen Ryu Qi old cave in the deep." The snow was like fine white smoke like a handle, and the white fan hung over the East Sea sky." Later generations often say that Mount Fuji "fan hanging East China Sea" is from this poem. Describe the magnificent Mount Fuji as a hand shake Paper fan Here, the play is light and miniature, showing that everything first shrinks into the small National character .
POEMS North plain white autumn (1885-1942) was also fascinated by the beauty of Mt. Fuji after seeing it. Before that, the poet didn't care about Mount Fuji at all. In order to write more and better Fuji poems, he specially moved to the vicinity of Miura Promontory, where he could see Mount Fuji every day. Later, he had an affair with his wife and was murdered by her husband Crime of adultery He denounced, but continued to write Fuji poetry. Finally got cataract Unable to see Mount Fuji, he sang the words of Fuji told by others. His famous poem "Love" is ostensibly about a girl, but in fact it is about Mount Fuji: "The dancing girl you, only you, shining in the gloom."
There is also grass ambition Hei's "Mount Fuji work No. 9" : "The wilderness to swallow breath. Ghost mirror of the month. Clear and vivid." [14]

novel

The earliest Japanese story works are" Takenori Monogatari ". At the end of the book, he wrote about the smoke on the top of Mount Fuji: "The mountain of Mount Fuji in Suruga country burned the smoke of the immortal medicine, which still rises continuously." According to research, this is a description of Fuji's "Sadakan Great Spouting fire".
According to the research of the Japanese Genji scholars, it is found in the whole volume of" The Tale of Genji There are two references to Mount Fuji in the "Wakasaki" volume, and the "Wakasaki" volume. tintinid Volume.
After the Meiji period, Natsume Soseki Write "Sansanlang". In the novel, the protagonist goes to Beijing to take an exam, meets a gentleman with a beard, and starts talking. The very sincere gentleman told the hero something about Mount Fuji.
British Koizumi Hachiumo In the second year after the name was changed, he made a pilgrimage to climb the mountain from the eastern foot of Mount Fuji and wrote a famous essay "Climbing Mount Fuji".

Scientific research

The Japan Meteorological Agency has been stationed on the summit of Mount Fuji since 1974 and has conducted weather observations. In 1980, weather radar observations began to monitor typhoons over the Pacific Ocean. Since then, typhoon monitoring from weather satellites has been strengthened, and radar observations from the top of Mount Fuji ceased in 1999. In addition, due to the enhancement of various advanced observation means and the advancement of automatic observation technology, it is now possible to automate the necessary observations without staffing. As a result, after the summer of 2004, staff will no longer be stationed on the summit. Current changes in Mt. Fuji summit observations and status of weather stations: [37]
(1) Set up a central meteorological Observatory at the top of Mount Fuji to begin year-round weather observation. Meteorological telemetering instruments in April 1965 Weather observation report updated in 1974, Fuji radar updated in 1978, Fuji radar digitized in 1984, meteorological telemetering equipment updated to surface meteorological observation equipment at Fuji Meteorological Station in 1985, volcano observation seismometer installed at Fuji Meteorological Station in 1987, In November 1999, the operation of the Fuji Mountain radar ended, and the Nagano and Shizuoka radars began operating simultaneously. A seismometer was installed at Station 8 in 2002. [37]
(2) Mount Fuji Meteorological Station (Fuji Peak) is equipped with 4 resident staff (replaced every 3 weeks), work: ground meteorological observation, observation equipment maintenance inspection, observation items: meteorological observation wind direction, wind speed, temperature, dew point temperature, air pressure, solar radiation, weather, volcano observation, 2 seismometers (one of which is the 8th station). [37]
The year 2020
In April 2020, a task force from the Japanese government's fire department developed measures aimed at dealing with volcanic ash from a possible eruption of Mount Fuji. The task force said that if the wind direction is the same as that of the 1707 eruption of Mount Fuji, the ash could fall in Tokyo metropolitan area , may disturb Road traffic And caused power outages. The task force called on relevant authorities to consider countermeasures. [33]
The year 2021
On September 28, 2021, Mount Fuji, as one of the most well-known active volcanoes in Japan and even in the world, recently, Japanese officials also specially reformulated the evacuation plan for the possible eruption of Mount Fuji. On September 2 local time, a committee composed of the Japanese government and the three prefectures surrounding Mount Fuji held a rare first meeting. The committee revealed at the meeting that they are now working on a new asylum plan. [30]

Stress just contributes Volcanic eruption It is not possible to argue that Mount Fuji "has met all the conditions for an eruption." [31] On June 19 of the same year, the Japanese National Police Agency had begun to make full preparations for a possible eruption of Mount Fuji. [33]
2023
In July 2023, the University of Tokyo, Japan, issued a press release saying that researchers from the university and the Mount Fuji Research Institute in Yamanashi Prefecture found that at least six unreported eruptions occurred at the northeastern foot of Mount Fuji between 5,050 years ago and 3,900 years ago, and this period was previously thought to be a gap in the volcanic activity of Mount Fuji. The researchers used heavy machinery to carry out land excavation surveys at the mountain lake and radiocarbon isotope measurements of core sediments collected over the past 8,000 years. Lake Yamanaka is located at the northeast foot of Mount Fuji, and its lake floor contains the most volcanic ash deposits of Mount Fuji than any of the five lakes in Fuji. 'This is an important new discovery in the field of volcanic disaster prevention,' the communique said. The research paper has been published in the Dutch journal Advances in Quaternary Science. Mount Fuji is an active volcano located on the border of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures and last erupted in 1707. At that time, volcanic ash deposited about 4 centimeters in Edo (formerly known as Tokyo). [40]

Evacuation plan

March 30, 2022, by the central and local governments of Japan Government composition The "Mount Fuji Volcano Disaster Prevention and Countermeasures Committee" announced the volcano eruption evacuation plan Interim report The book proposed a new policy that "ordinary residents should take refuge on foot nearby in principle." According to the Kyodo News On the 30th, the report revised the asylum plan made in 2014, which increased the number of asylum objects by about seven times to 116,000. In addition, in order to prevent people from being unable to take refuge in time due to traffic jams, the report revised the previous policy of recommending transportation, requiring people to take refuge on foot in principle, and the elderly and disabled can give priority to using cars.
