Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mount Hua (Huashan 华山) in Shaanxi (陕西) province is the West Peak (西岳). The five peaks of Mount Hua resemble a five-petaled flower explaining its common name as the “Flowery Mountain”. Mount Hua is considered the cradle of Chinese civilization and the “hua” in its name is also the origin of the Chinese name for China which is zhong hua (中华).

Mount Hua is associated with the Metal (金) Element and the White Tiger (白虎). White describes the snows of Tibet.

The emperor of this peak is the “Holy Emperor Jin Tianyuan of Mount Huashan in Xiyue” (西岳大帝) (西岳华山金天愿圣大帝).
