天门山简介

天门山古称嵩梁山(又称云梦山、方壶山),以其山势高绝如梁山嵩岳而得名。在三国吴永安六年(公元263年),嵩梁山忽然峭壁洞开,玄朗如门,形成迄今罕见的世界奇观——天门洞。吴帝孙休认为这是吉祥的征兆,于是将嵩梁山改名天门山,山下置天门郡,也就是今天的湖南省张家界市。天门山最高海拔1518.6米,为张家界最高峰,因其临空独尊的气势,被尊称为张家界之魂。天门山文化博大精深,天文化、仙山文化、隐逸文化和佛教文化四大文化并盛。此外,天门洞开、鬼谷显影、天门翻水、野拂藏宝、独角瑞兽、天门转向等天门六谜及诸多闻名遐迩的民间神闻传说,给天门山蒙上了一层神秘的面纱,使其更享有“湘西第一神山”的美誉。

Originally called SongliangMountain for its immense height, it had its name altered to Tianmen (Heaven’s Gate) after a cave miraculously opened up and became the inexplicable Tianmen Gate. Believing it a sign of propitiousness, the then Emperor changed its name and established TianmenCounty at its foot, which became ZhangjiajieCity today. At 1,518.6 meters in elevation, it’s the highest peak in Zhangjiajie and known as the city’s soul. On the mountain 4 cultures co-exist, namely heaven, celestial mountain, seclusion and Buddhism. Adding to its sense of otherworldly fairyland, there are numerous myths and legends surrounding this place, including the opening of the cave, its turning of direction, hidden treasures and rumored sacred beasts.
