Mt. Huangshan, Huangshan
Huangshan in China was originally called Yi Shan before the Tang Dynasty. Yi means black, because the mountain rocks take the color of black, so the ancients named it from this. According to the legendary, ancestors of the Chinese people Yellow Emperor, in his completion of the unification of the Central Plains and creation of civilization of China, he arrived here to pick herbals and make pills for immortality. He bathed in hot springs, and thus got enlightened and rise to the level of God. The famous Tang Dynasty Emperor Li Longji strongly believed this legendary and issued an idect to announce that the mount. will be renamed Huangshan, after the name of Yellow Emperor, meaning that the mountain is the Yellow Emperor's Hill. Since then, the name of Huangshan appeared.
