Which province does Zhangjiajie belong to?
Answer: It belongs to Hunan Province.
Zhangjiajie was originally named Dayong and was the location of the ancient Yong State. As early as the late primitive society, the ancestors had already begun to multiply and live on both banks of the Lishui River. By the time of Yao and Shun, “Shun exiled Huandou to Chongshan to transform the southern barbarians,” and thus in Chinese history there came the term “southern barbarians.” In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang established commanderies and counties; the Zhangjiajie area belonged to Cigu County of Qianzhong Commandery, with the county seat at Guanta Ping in Cili County (now Taiping Village, Jiangjiaping Township). In the sixth year of Yong'an of Emperor Jing of Wu in the Three Kingdoms period (264 AD), Songliang County was named Tianmen Mountain, and Tianmen Commandery was established. Through the Western and Eastern Jin and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it all belonged to Louzhong and Linli Counties of Tianmen Commandery. In 1369, the Ming Dynasty established Dayong County, and in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1735 AD), Yongding County was established.
Which province does Zhangjiajie belong to? What are the terrain features of Zhangjiajie?
After liberation in 1949 until 1988, Cili County belonged to Changde Prefecture, and by the end of 1988, Dayong and Sangzhi were under the jurisdiction of the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. In May 1988, with the approval of the State Council, the provincial-level prefecture-level city of Dayong was established. In April 1994, the prefecture-level city of Dayong was renamed Zhangjiajie City. Zhangjiajie City is named because Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is famous at home and abroad.
Zhangjiajie City is located in the northwest of Hunan Province, at the junction of the uplifted Guizhou Plateau and the subsidence area of Dongting Lake, between longitude 109°40′ to 111°20′ east and latitude 28°52′ to 29°48′ north. It borders Shimen and Taoyuan Counties to the east, Yuanling County to the south, and Hefeng and Xuan'en Counties of Hubei Province to the north. The city boundary is at most 167 kilometers from east to west and 96 kilometers from north to south. The total area of the city is 9,653 square kilometers, accounting for 4.5% of the province's area.
The geomorphological structure of Zhangjiajie City is complex, mainly including mountains, karst, hills, downlands, and plains. Mountainous area accounts for 76% of the total area, among which the most distinctive is the quartz sandstone peak forest landform, which is rare in the world. The city's terrain is high in the northwest and slopes toward the southeast along the Lishui River. The Wuling Mountains branch from Yunwu Mountain in Guizhou; after entering Zhangjiajie City, they divide into three mountain systems running through the entire city. Within Zhangjiajie City, mountains overlap and the surface rises and falls greatly. The highest point is 1,890.4 meters above sea level, and the lowest point is 75 meters above sea level.
The city's landforms are mainly mountainous, with the terrain high in the northwest and sloping along the Lishui River. The central part along both banks of the Lishui River is gently low in a northeast direction, while the southern mountains descend gradually toward the Yuanshui River. The Wuling Mountains branch from Yunwu Mountain in Guizhou into Zhangjiajie City and divide into three branches. The northern branch enters Sangzhi County under the city's jurisdiction from Laifeng and Longshan in Hubei, passing Lishan, Guiying Mountain, and Qinglong Mountain; the central branch along the north of the Lishui River includes Tianxing Mountain, Hongxi Mountain, Chaotian Mountain, Qingyan Mountain, and Maohua Jie. The southern branch runs between the Lishui and Yuanshui Rivers, including Qixing Mountain, Chong Mountain, Tianmen Mountain, and extends into Dalong Mountain and Tianhe Mountain in Cili County. All three branches disappear when they reach the alluvial plain of Dongting Lake in the east.
Climate resources:
Zhangjiajie's climate is moderate. Located at the middle northern latitude, it has a mid-subtropical mountain-type monsoon humid climate. Therefore, rainfall is abundant (average annual precipitation over the years is 1,400 millimeters), sunshine is plentiful, the frost-free period is long, and the severe cold period is short. The average annual temperature is about 16°C. The hottest summer month has a temperature of 27°C, and the coldest winter month has an average temperature of 4.3°C (January is the coldest, with extreme temperatures around zero to 4°C). Such a climate is not only suitable for animal reproduction and plant growth, but even more suitable for sightseeing and tourism.
Local customs:
Crying Marriage
Tujia girls welcome their wedding day with crying. The bride begins crying more than half a month before the wedding; some cry for more than a month, at least for three to five days.
Crying Marriage Song
The “Crying Marriage Song” is a customary folk song of the Tujia people. In the month before a girl's marriage, she must sing the “Crying Marriage Song,” using song to tell of the unfortunate fate of Tujia women under the feudal arranged marriage system and their reluctant attachment to their relatives.
Same-Surname Marriage Rules
The Tujia people are very cautious about marriage between people with the same surname. It is limited only to marriage between those with the same surname but different clans or beyond the five degrees of mourning. Marriage within the five degrees of mourning is considered a great transgression. In fact, even now, even same-surname marriages that conform to Tujia marriage rules still cannot be accepted by most Tujia people.
Gan Nian (Rushing the New Year)
The Tujia people have a unique custom for reuniting to celebrate the New Year: if the twelfth lunar month is long, they celebrate on the 29th; if the twelfth lunar month is short, they celebrate on the 28th. The Tujia people call celebrating one day early “Gan Nian.”
Mingzi
Mingzi: commonly known as taking a courtesy name. Men often use a red-lacquered gold-lettered wooden plaque to welcome the bride. On the day before the wedding, relatives and friends beat drums and play music to send the wooden plaque to the groom's home.
Jiuzi Bian
Jiuzi Bian is also called the “Heavenly God Whip.” It is popular among the Han, Bai, and Tujia peoples, and is especially loved by the Bai people. They place their hopes for happiness and good fortune in the gods. To please the gods and seek their blessing, they cut purple bamboo from deep mountains, make an opening at the top of the bamboo, and place nine copper coins inside. The whip is about 1 to 1.5 meters long, sized to fit the holder's grip, decorated with flowered tassels and red silk, purple with red, very eye-catching.
Tujia Sacrifices
The Tujia people sacrifice to the Earth God in order to pray that the Earth God, as the master of the place, will bless them with abundant harvests and thriving livestock, as well as protect the village's peace and ward off evil.
Gaohua Lantern
Gaohua Lantern is a dance with rich ethnic characteristics popular in the Yongding Yuanguping area.
Baishou Dance
Baishou Dance is the most influential large-scale dance of the Tujia people, with strong sacrificial color.

Zhangjiajie's Four Wonders: sound, moon, shadow, and light
Wonder Sound: When traveling in Zhangjiajie's Shentang Bay, you will find that the bay is bottomless and mysterious. Even more surprising is that as soon as a person approaches the edge of the bay, the sound of gongs, drums, people shouting, and horses neighing will faintly ring in your ears, as if thousands of troops and horses are fighting fiercely.
Wonder Moon: Every spring and summer during the middle of the lunar month, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening after a long rain has just cleared, the full moon seen at Yueliang Ya on Tianzi Mountain is red, like the newly risen sun in the morning, blood-red, emitting a red halo and illuminating the Helong Park, Shijiayan, and Shentang Bay area red. This phenomenon can last for more than an hour.
Wonder Shadow: If you tour upstream along Golden Whip Stream, on a crisp autumn day with a clear sky, you will be surprised to find that your shadow changes from one to two, and from two to three. As you move, the shadows follow. Whether you go forward or backward, run left or right, you are always followed by three shadows.
Wonder Light: The vast West Sea is a peculiar stone forest world, with thousands of stone peaks. Between Shentang Bay and Helong Park, there is a stone pillar up to 200 meters high, and between the two stone peaks at the top of the pillar is embedded a small stone. This magical stone and stone peak emit light once a year, shining like electric welding, with sparks flying in all directions, and the light can illuminate the Shentang Bay area.
