Legend has it that according to the ".Qing Yi Tongzhi", called Zhongjo Mountain andHuayueThe mountains are connected to the west of Taihang Mountain, which is a little touching, so it is named Zhongtiao.
Expansion: Zhongtiao Mountain is located in the south of Shanxi, running through eight counties and cities, and is a magnificent mountain range running northeast and southwest. From the map, it looks like a circling python winding inCentral PlainsAbove the earth, the momentum is extraordinary. It has a unique shape with a long strip of mountains that stretch for 160 kilometers and are between 10 and 15 kilometers wide.

According to the ancient book ".Qing Yi TongzhiIt is recorded that Nakajo Mountain is withHuayueThere is a bit of contact between the mountains, which gives it the name Nakajo Mountain. Mt. Nakajo is not only located in a thousand milesYellow RiverThe north shore, also adjacent to Alexandria, has a unique geographical location.
There is an ancient salt lake in the northern part of Mt. Nakajo called Jiechi, which has a long history of exploitation. SinceAntiquityIn the beginning, the ancestors crystallized salt in this salt pond through the most primitive method. The ancients fought for the rights and interests of this salt pond, which led to countless wars, and salt became a precious resource for human survival. According to the "Records of the Three Dynasties of Confucius", the Yellow Emperor defeated in ancient timesChiyou, dismembering it and turning its blood into a salt pool. The "Song of the South Wind" during the reign of Emperor Shun describes the scene of the ancestors working by the salt pond. As a necessity of life, salt played an important role in ancient human society. The emperors of ancient times also got closer and closer to the salt pond when they chose the site of the capital, which reflects the presence of the salt pondPrimitive societyThe later period is a symbol of the center of clan life. From the center of clan life to the national salt production town, the historical status of Yuncheng Salt Pond has become more and more prominent. Successive dynasties attached great importance to the production of salt and implemented a monopoly policy on the salt industry, and salt was the pillar of the imperial court's finances. The development and utilization of salt ponds are inseparable from the progress of human society, and also witness the importance of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Expansion: The Jiechi in the northern part of Mt. Nakajo is an ancient salt lake rich in salt. The salt ponds here have been mined for more than 4,600 yearsAntiquityIn the beginning, the ancestors used the most primitive and ancient methods to crystallize salt here. As a necessity of life, salt was of great importance to the ancient people. Because of the competition for salt ponds, there have been years of war between various tribes. The unique properties of salt make it a valuable resource for human survival. Historically, the war caused by the battle for salt ponds was the first war in human historyThe Yellow Emperor fights Chi YouofZhuoluThe battle took place for control, according to the Chronicles of the Three Dynasties of Confucius"The Yellow Emperor killed (ChiyouYu Zhongji,ChiyouDismembered, the body is in a different place, and the blood is turned into brine, which is not only the salt pond of the state. "In ancient times, the lyrics of the "Song of the South Wind" written by Emperor Shun describe the scene of the ancestors producing and working in the salt pond. The importance of the salt pond is reflected in the location of the ancient emperor's capital, and the closer it is to the salt pond, the more it reflects the importance of salt to the economy and politics. Yongji Yaowangtai, the salt monopoly policy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the control of the salt industry by the Tang Dynasty court all show the status of salt ponds as the backbone of the economy. The salt pond of Zhongtiao Mountain is not only an important place for salt production, but also an important source of salt in human history.
The location of Zhongtiao Mountain is very important, it is located at the junction of Shanxi, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, on the margins of Henan, Hebei, Shandong and Shaanxi. To the north of Mt. Nakajo is the great river of the northYellow River, and to the southCentral PlainsEarth, east and ShanxiAkikoIt is closely connected and adjacent to the Guanzhong Plain in the west. This geographical location makes Mt. Nakajo militarily significant. It can act as a natural barrier against incoming enemy forces; At the same time, it is also a strategic point for attacking the enemy. The abundant mineral resources in the area around Nakajo Mountain, especially the copper resources, also made the mountain a treasure trove and armory for ancient armies. According to records, the copper mines in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain are extremely rich, and they were once rich in copper, and there is a folk proverb of "copper head, gold body, and iron tail". 《New Tang Dynasty Booksis recordedPingluThere are 48 copper mines and 12 copper mines in Hejie County, and Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty has 30 coinage furnaces. In the field of ancient copper smelting, the copper ore output in Zhongtiao Mountain ranked first in the country. Archaeological excavations since the 80s of the 20th century have also continued to discover ancient copper smelting sites and fill inCentral PlainsA gap in the early metallurgical history of the region. The geographical location and rich mineral resources of Nakajo Mountain made it play an important role in the military and economy in ancient times.
