“I visited Hua Shan in the summer of 1935. It was an easy place to reach because the train to Sian stopped conveniently at a little place called Hua Yin, which means ‘under the shadow of Hua Shan’. The Hua Shan massif did indeed dominate Hua Yin.”

“HUAYIN IS THE TOWN at the base of the holy mountain of Huashan.”

“The place where Huashan’s Taoist caretaker gave Yao this advice is known as Huafeng. It’s about three kilometers east of the present county seat of Huayin. Unfortunately, the last artifacts of the former sacrificial center were destroyed in 1958 during Mao’s Great Leap Forward, and the site is now better known for the neolithic remains discovered there since then. Two other shrines have also disappeared. One built at the beginning of the Chou dynasty south of Huayin has become Huashan High School.”

“But, the 4 billion yuan project was a failure and instead intensified flooding in Huayin, a county-level city under Weinan, where the Wei River - a tributary of the Yellow River - flowed backwards because its river bed was raised by more than 5 metres. In the 1960s, the central government scaled back the project.”

“Police in Huayin in the northwestern province of Shaanxi made the “criminal detentions” earlier this month, suspecting the three of “inciting to subvert state power”, Ruan Xiuqin, wife of Chen Sizhong, one of the farmers, told Reuters by telephone.”
