With climate change, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events (e.g. floods, droughts, typhoons, etc.) are likely to increase in the Qingcheng Mountain region. These extreme events have serious impacts on the natural environment and human activities in the mountains, such as landslides, mudslides and other disasters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Qingcheng Mountain has a long history. It is said that during the reign of Emperor Xuan Yuan, there was Ning Feng Zi who lived in Qingcheng Mountain and taught the Emperor the art of “dragon among the winds and clouds”, and the Emperor built an altar to worship him as the “five mountain masters”. In ancient times, Qingcheng Mountain, together with Wudang Mountain in Hubei, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, Qi Yun Mountain in Anhui and Jingfu Mountain in Shaanxi, were known as the Five Great Immortal Mountains and were dedicated to the Five Great Mountains, namely Ning Feng Zhen Jun, Zhen Wu Dang Mo Da Di, Haotian Yu Huang God, the Heavenly Sovereign of Demonic Protection and Guang Yuan Pu Du Heavenly Sovereign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Global warming has led to an increase in temperature in the Qingcheng Mountain region year on year. This may affect the ecological balance of the mountains, leading to changes in the distribution of plants and animals, which in turn affect the entire ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Changing precipitation patterns: Climate change may alter precipitation patterns in the Dujiangyan area, causing changes in the amount and distribution of precipitation. This may cause the water supply to Dujiangyan to become unstable and affect its normal operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
