Meili Snow Mountain, the first of the eight sacred mountains in Tibet

Answer 1

Meili Snow Mountain (Tibetan name: ) was located in Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. It was located on the southeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It was a continuous mountain range between the Lancang River and the Nujiang River that ran north-south. It belonged to the Hengduan Mountains on the eastern slope of the Himalayas and covered an area of 4430.55 square kilometers.

It had 13 peaks with an average altitude of more than 6000 meters, commonly known as the "Prince Thirteen Peaks". The main peak, Kawagbo, was 6740 meters above sea level. It was the highest peak in Yunnan and was still unconquered by the world. It was also the only peak that was forbidden to climb due to cultural protection.

Meili Snow Mountain had a plateau cold temperate-zone mountainous monsoonal climate. It was controlled by the west wind and the Indian monsoons. The climate difference was significant. Coupled with the influence of low latitude and vertical height difference, the climate vertical zone was very obvious. There were dry and hot valleys, forests, mountain grasslands, glaciers, permanent snow and other natural landscapes. Geologically, it was located at the part where the arc turn of the Indosinian fold system in the ancient syncline became narrower due to rapid compression. It was generally a compound synclinal structure with vertical and horizontal fractures and joint fissures, resulting in the development of graben and canyon in the area. Glacial landforms were developed on the snow line. There were four large glaciers, Mingyong Glacier, Sinong Glacier, Niuba Glacier, and Nongsong Glacier. Among them, Mingyong Glacier was the longest and largest glacier. It was a rare modern glacier with low latitude, low temperature (-5 ° C) and low altitude (2700 meters) in the world. It was rich in biological species, including Jade Dragon Fern, Southern Yew and other national first-class protected wild plants, as well as Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, snow leopard, clouded leopard and other national first-class protected wild animals.

In terms of culture, Meili Snow Mountain was the first of the eight sacred mountains in Tibet. Every year, many Tibetan compatriots from Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai, Xizang, and other places came to Meili Snow Mountain to worship, forming a unique cultural area within the small scope of Tibetan Buddhism. There were also legends related to the gods. The clouds and mist in the mountains were regarded as the breath of the gods. Every mountain peak had a guardian god, and the local Tibetans were extremely respectful of them.

There was also the famous "Golden Mountain of Sunshine" here. The sunlight shone on the top of the snowy mountain in the early morning of a few sunny days, forming a beautiful scene. Sometimes, the sun had risen before the moon had set, forming the wonder of "the sun and the moon shining together." In addition, Yubeng Village at the foot of the mountain was known as a paradise. There were beautiful scenery such as Kobe under the glacier and the frozen lake between the mountains.
