Qin Chu Feng News (Shiyan Media Reporter Lyu Wei, Correspondent Shu Tao) On May 20th, the natural wonder of "Reflection of the Golden Hall" was staged on Tianzhu Peak of Wudang Mountain, and the breathtaking scenery left the tourists on the spot a feast for the eyes.

It is understood that the Eight Scenic Spots is a long-standing system of landscape combinations in ancient China. It condenses regional characteristics and shapes cultural business cards through eight iconic scenic spots, and mostly adopts the traditional model of naming based on the eight characters. Wudang Mountain combines profound cultural heritage with beautiful natural landscapes. The eight scenic spots within its territory are divided into two major categories: the Static Eight Scenic Spots and the Dynamic Eight Scenic Spots.

One of the eight quiet scenic spots of Wudang Mountain, "The Reflection of the Golden Hall".

Among them, the Eight Serene Scenes are characterized by their lasting beauty and profound artistic conception. They specifically include the Celestial Pillar at Dawn, the Land and Sea surging Tides, the Ancestral Master Reflecting Light, Thunder on the flat Ground, Thunder and Fire Refining the Hall, the Reflection of the Golden Hall, the Moon Knocking on the Mountain Gate, and the Suspended Pine in the Air. The Eight Dynamic scenic Spots are dynamic and diverse, with landscape carriers covering both natural creatures and cultural statues. They include eight wonders: seahorses spewing out mist, flying ants paying homage, crows catching food, black tigers patrolling the mountains, macaques presenting peaches, sika deer carrying flowers, golden monkeys leaping over the stream, and birds not reaching the top. These unique scenes are mostly formed by relying on real animals such as macaques, crows, and flying ants, as well as related legends and architectural statues.

According to expert analysis, most of the eight quiet scenic spots of Wudang Mountain are formed by meteorological conditions, relying on natural phenomena such as sunrise, sea of clouds, thunder and lightning, sunset glow, and optical refraction. The "Reflection of the Golden Hall" that has appeared this time is based on the principle of natural optical refraction, and its cause and artistic conception are similar to those of the "Ancestral Master's Reflection of Light" among the Eight Quiet scenic spots. This landscape was recorded in writing as early as the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Court painters once specially created the "Picture of Auspiciousness of Wudang Mountain" to meticulously preserve this rare natural wonder.

Experts interpret that the "reflection of the Golden Hall" mostly occurs in spring, summer and autumn, and is concentrated in the weather scenes at dusk or after the rain clears up. At this moment, the air density in the mountains is uneven. Sunlight penetrates the air layers of different densities, causing optical refraction and completely projecting the Golden Hall itself and the surrounding mountain and forest scenery onto the sea of clouds and the vast sky. The projected golden hall has a clear and regular outline, with bright and brilliant colors. The interplay of reality and illusion is dreamlike and illusory, comparable to a mirage, fully demonstrating the wonders of nature's creation.
