简介
Meili Snow Mountain is a huge north-south snow mountain group located in the east of Chayu County, Tibet and the west of Yunling Township, Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, with a total length of 150 kilometers. It is called Kawagebo Snow Mountain in Tibetan areas, and the word "Meili" is translated into Chinese by Deqin Tibetan Mainri, which means Yaoshan. It is named [1-2] because it is rich in various rare medicinal materials. At the same time, it is also a holy place of Yongzhong Bonism, and is called the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism together with Gangrenboqi in Tibet, Animaqing Mountain in Qinghai and Gaduojuewo in Qinghai.
The highest peak, Kawagebo Peak, is 6,740 meters above sea level and is the highest mountain in Yunnan Province. It is located 10 kilometers southwest of Deqin County and 184 kilometers away from Zhongdian County. It is about 30 kilometers long, of which the highest peak in pyramid shape is Kavagebo Peak, with an altitude of 6,740 meters. It is an extremely high mountain that protrudes from the top of the surrounding mountains for nearly 1,000 meters and is the highest peak in Yunnan Province. Meili Snow Mountain has strong fault activity and high terrain, with 13 peaks above 6000 meters above sea level surrounded by Kawagebo Peak, which is the highest mountain on the southeast edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Kawagbo, the main peak of Prince Snow Mountain, means "White Snow Mountain" in Tibetan, commonly known as "God of Snow Mountain". Legend has it that it was originally a ferocious evil spirit with nine heads and eighteen arms. After being educated by Master Padmasambhava, he was abstained from being a lay person and converted to Buddhism. He became the son of a thousand Buddhas and was a member of the divine general under Gesar, the great master of Baozhu, who made the enemy. From then on, he led the border land and blessed the snow area. The statue of Cabagbo is often enshrined on the altar. He rides a white horse and holds a sword. He is majestic and looks like a patron saint.
Although Kawagbo and its surrounding peaks are called "thirteen peaks", the meaning is to take the auspicious number of "thirteen" in Tibetan. In fact, it is not the exact thirteen snowy peaks, but the general designation of more peaks. Among the peaks, the more famous ones are Mianzim Peak, Jiwa Ren'an Peak, Bujiong Songjie Wuxue Peak, Mabing Zarawangdui Peak, Kugui Raqqa Peak, and Lazan Peak. Among them, the graceful Mianzim Peak, which means the goddess of the sea, is located on the south side of Kavagebo Peak. Legend has it that this peak is the wife of Kavagebo Peak. Kavagbo went on an expedition with King Gelsall to the evil Luohai country. The evil Luohai country wanted to deceive them and betrothed Mianzim to Kavagbo. Unexpectedly, Kavagbo and Mianzim fell in love with each other and never separated. It is also said that Mianzim is the daughter of Yulong Snow Mountain. Although she is the wife of Kavagebo, she is mindful of her hometown and faces her hometown. Xuefeng is always shrouded in clouds and mist. People call it the veil covered by Zim's shame. Jiwa Ren'an Peak, which means "the crown of the five Buddhas", is five flat and sharp peaks standing side by side, located on the north side of Mianzim Peak, with an altitude of 5770.5 meters. The Bujiong Songjie Wuxue Peak, which is said to be the son of Kavagebo and Mianzim, is located between the Five Buddha Crown Peak and Kavagebo Peak. The patron saint in the northeast of Cabagbo refers to the Mabing Zarawangdui Peak, also known as the "Invincible God of War" (General Peak). Coarse return to Raqqa means the peak above the round lake, which is located above the ice bucket of Scha Glacier.
