High Mountains in China

In ancient China, the emperors claimed to be the "sons of Heaven." To repay Heaven for kindness, they often took the magnificent and precipitous mountains as the auspicious signs, where they set up altars to offer sacrifices to Heaven. The first feudal emperor in Chinese history holding a large-scale ceremony to confer a feudal title upon a mountain is Emperor Qin Shihuang, First emperor of the Qin Dynasty. To ensure that the country was prosperous and the people lived in peace, the emperor of the successive dynasties frequently held activities to confer feudal titles on mountains. Finally the Five most famous mountains of China emerged, i.e. Mount Tai in the east; Mount Huashan in the west; Mount Hengshan in the North; Mount Songshan in the central; and Mount Hengshan in the south.
