The origin of the split mountain

There is a local myth about the cause of the split mountain cracks, that is, "Erlang Shen chased the sun with his back on the mountain". Yang Erlang made a bet with the immortal that he could catch up with the sun with two mountains on his shoulders. As soon as the oath came out, Jiro provoked two mountains in the East China Sea to chase the sun. When I arrived in Qingzhou, a mountain behind me was picked and lost, so I had to leave it in two mountains in the south of Qingzhou. One is Yunmen Mountain, where the "Cloud Gate Cave" penetrated by the pole is still there, and the other is this split mountain that was picked and lost.

There is also a legend that Qin Shihuang cut down a mountain. According to legend, the mountain was originally a celebrity face mountain, and the navel-grinding mountain in the east was originally Yin Bao Mountain, and the Shamao Mountain in Yunmen Mountain. Qin Shihuang visited Qingzhou and came to Yunmen Mountain, where he found that it was a place where hidden dragons crouched tigers. The Mountain with a Face looks like a sleeping face. Its eyes, nose and mouth are clear and lifelike, serene and cultured. The gauze cap is placed on its left, the towering cloud top is a black gauze cap crown, and the east and west wind pavilions on both sides are black gauze wings. And its official seal is placed between the gauze cap and itself, with a round print head and a high print handle, which is nothing like it. After Qin Shihuang finished reading it, he couldn't help being surprised. The geomantic omen here is unbreakable, and China is not strong. So he sent someone to pick out the nasal tendons in Mianshan, calling them "beam-breaking knives" and renaming them "splitting mountains". The "splitting mountain ditch" still has gouges. Knock down the handle of Yin Bao Mountain and rename it "Moqi Mountain"; Carved a hole in their heads and renamed it Konglong Mountain, and that hole is the "Cloud Gate Cave".
