From translated French to English wikipedia text: Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang dynasty, a follower of Taoism, gave in 747 his name to the Mountains. Under the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), Xu Xiake, a geologist, twice climbed to the top of the peaks and wrote on it: 'Who has seen the five sacred mountains has no aspirations to see other peaks, who saw the Huangshan feels no pleasure to look at the other four sacred mountains; Qualified 'natural painting', Mount Huangshan impresses travelers for its landscape and its grandiose scenery; In the tourist area, the mountains overlap with 36 large and 36 smaller peaks, which are dominated by 3 main higher peaks: Lianhua, Guangming and Kaidu, all having an altitude above 1800 meters; There is a total of 77 peaks more than 1000 metres altitude; The historical and cultural wealth is enormous; There are antic temples, kiosks, pavilions, trails and bridges and more than 200 rock carvings; All this has increased the cultural value of the Yellow Mountains and its attractiveness; Rocks with fantastic profiles, shaped by nature, evoke the form of objects, birds or quadrupeds, and their names are poetic dreams: the 'monkey looking at the sea', 'Brush flowery dream','Immortals playing chess', 'Rhinoceros Contemplating the Moon ', 'the Golden Cockerel singing in front of the Heaven 's gate', 'Peacock playing among tlotus flowers' and so forth; The rock 'Brush flowery dream' is one of the most famous sites of Huangshan: this majestic pillar stands in a deep valley; The bottom of this column stone is round and looks much like a brush, and the short and sharp summit looks at the peak of a feather; An old green pine grows at the top of this pillar, like a flower which should flower on a brush; Therefore, this pillar is called 'Brush flowery dream'; According to a legend, Li Bai, the great poet of ancient China dreamed deeply one night while decliming poetries; In his dream, he floated in the wind and arrived in a mountain inhabited by the Immortals; He saw a sea of clouds, of flowers and green trees around him; Li Bai was overhelmed by such beautiful landscapes of Mother Nature; At that time, a brush emerged from the sea of clouds, as a column of jade; Li Bai then thought: 'If I had a so large brush, I could paint the world 's beauty , with the earth as ink stone, seawater as ink, and the blue sky as paper; As it is beautiful! While immersed in his reverie, he heared a piece of enchanting music, and multicolored lights began to sparkle at the peak, top of the brush, and a deep red flower appeared; Then this red flower leaved the brush, moved and floatted on the sea up to him; Seeing that this brush with flowers was approaching increasingly, Li Bai reached out his hand to take it; While he was near to touch the brush, he wakes up suddenly; It was only a beautiful dream! After being awakened, Li Bai recalled several times his dream; But he never found the whereabouts of this place; He decided to visit all the high mountains and broad rivers to find this famous World of immortals; Later, Li Bai erred on an adventure to Mount Huangshan; When he saw this big pillar blooming, he cried with joy: 'The great flowery brush that I saw in my dream is there'! It is said that after finding the dreamed flowery brush, the inspiration of Li Bai began boundless.
