Among the numerous mountains in China, why does Qinling Mountain have a special position?

This is because of its geographical location and precipitousness. This is a very huge mountain range, which took more than 200 million years to form. Qinling Mountain is a huge mountain range across central China. 200 million years ago, the Qinling Mountains were completely isolated from the sea, and its majestic posture basically took shape. Qinling Mountain is the dividing line between the north and south of China in terms of physical geography and climate. North and south, south people and north people all exist because of this mountain range.

Qinling has many nicknames. It was once called Kunlun Mountain and Nanshan Mountain. Li Daoyuan once recorded in "Notes on Water Classics": During the Qin and Han Dynasties, a black dragon came to Weihe River from Qinling to drink water. The place where it passed formed a dragon-shaped earth mountain, and the Longshou Mountain was changed by this dragon. The dragon head is in the present Longshou Village, and the dragon tail is in today's bell tower. Geographically, Kunlun Mountain is the mountainous root of Chinese mainland. Therefore, before Qin Shihuang unified China, Qinling was called Kunlun; Later, because Qinling Mountain is located in the south of the capital of Qin State, it is also called Zhong Nanshan, or Nanshan Mountain.

Shaanxi in the Qinling Mountains is the backbone of the Qinling Mountain System, with steep northern slopes, gentle southern slopes and majestic mountains. General elevation 1500-3000m, higher than Guanzhong basin and Hanzhong basin 1000-3000m. The main vein is distributed in the northern part of the mountain, and there are many peaks above 3000 meters above sea level, which constitute the alpine and Zhongshan topography of Qinling Mountains. Steep in the north and gentle in the south lead to short and steep valleys on the north slope. The waters on the south slope have a long history, and the mountains are cut from east to west, forming numerous canyons, which are rich in hydraulic resources and can be described as high mountains and high waters.

The story of dark Chen Cang in the Han Dynasty was extended from the Qinling Mountains. The story of Han Xin, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, is widely circulated among the people, but like many historical stories, it has never happened. It first appeared in Yuan Zaju, and the true story is much more tortuous, which can be summarized by "obvious meridian, hidden mystery". Hanzhong area is a battleground for military strategists in history. Whoever gets here will take the throat of going north or south.
