Jia Zengyou, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said, "There are five mountains in heaven and earth, and Heng Yue lives in the north. The rocks are piled up and the ghosts are unpredictable. " This poem.

Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his travels: "There is no comparison between Wuyi and Jiuqu."

Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, traveled to the Hanging Temple and wrote the word "spectacular", and wrote a famous sentence "The dangerous building is high in thousands of feet, and you can make stars with your hands, but you dare not speak loudly, for fear of shocking the world". Mount Heng is close to the water and the terrain is dangerous, which is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty once sent tens of thousands of troops to chop cliffs and cut roads here. As the gateway to the Central Plains, Yang Jiajiang of the Song Dynasty also stationed troops here. The beacon tower built in those days is faintly visible, and the story of Mu attacking Hongzhou is still circulating today.

According to the statistics of Datong experts, thirteen emperors led troops to fight in this area in history, and the stories of many famous military generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Weichi Gong and Xue were widely circulated. Therefore, in a strategic sense, the danger of Mount Hengshan can be "the ridge under the sky". This is the most proud feature of Hengshan Mountain in the Five Mountains.
