Shennong Mountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shennong Mountain (simplified Chinese: 神农山; traditional Chinese: 神農山; pinyin: Shénnóng shān) lies in the northwest of Qinyang, Henan, China. Its main peak is called "Zijin Ding" (simplified Chinese: 紫金顶; traditional Chinese: 紫金頂; lit. 'Purple and Gold Peak'), which is also known as the "North Peak" (北顶), with an altitude of 1028 meters.[1]
It is said that Shennong (lit. 'Divine Farmer'), who taught the ancient Chinese the practices of agriculture, was once there to teach farmers recognize different species of plants.
