The Yin Mountains, also known by several other names, are a mountain range stretching across about 1,000 kilometers (620 mi) of northern China. They form the southeastern border of the Gobi Desert and cross the Chinese provinces of Inner Mongolia and Hebei. Among other things, the range is notable for its petroglyphs.

Names

The Yin Mountains are also known by their Chinese name as the Yinshan, which associates them with the great feminine principle of traditional Chinese philosophy. They are also known as the Jehol Mountains from the former name of nearby Chengde and its eponymous river and as the Daqing Mountains or Daqingshan. In Mongolian, they are known as the Dalan Qara, Dalan Terigün, Dalan Khar, Moni Agula, or Moni Uul.^{[citation needed]} It was known as Čuγay quzï (Old Turkic: 𐰲𐰆𐰍𐰖𐰴𐰔𐰃) in Old Turkic texts.[1]

Geography

The range stretches for about 1,000 kilometers (620 mi). It begins in the southwest as the Lang Mountains at the northern loop of the Yellow River. It then rises to about 2,300 meters (7,500 ft) above Linhe District, falls to a more modest 1,500 m (4,900 ft) north of Baynnur, and widens to a broad highland north of Baotou. Its eastern end is reckoned as about the area of Chengde.

History

Chinese historians record that the range was a stronghold of the Xiongnu ruler Modu Chanyu around 200 BCE. The Yan, Qin, and Han border walls follow its southern ridges.

The Tang poet Bai Juyi (772–846) composed the "Yinshan Roads" about its paths.

[it] Monti Yin

I monti Yin (cinese: 阴山; pinyin e romanizzazione Wade-Giles: Yin Shan) sono una serie di catene montuose nella Regione Autonoma della Mongolia Interna, in Cina settentrionale. Da ovest a est, essi comprendono i monti Lang, Sheyten, Hara-narin, Wula, Daqing e Damaqun. I monti Yin, una barriera che costituisce la linea spartiacque tra bacini interni ed esterni della Cina settentrionale, raggiungono per lo più un'altitudine di circa 2000 m. Le vette più alte, nella parte sud-occidentale dei monti Daqing, raggiungono i 2187 m. Le varie sottocatene corrono all'incirca da est a ovest lungo l'ansa settentrionale dello Huang He (fiume Giallo) a nord dell'altopiano dell'Ordos. Esse hanno una pendenza molto accentuata, presentando un versante meridionale impervio e ripido e un versante settentrionale dolce che sfuma nell'elevato altopiano del deserto del Gobi a nord. I fiumi che scendono dal versante meridionale apportano acque allo Huang He o ai suoi affluenti, il Dahei a est e il Wujia a ovest. Quelli che scendono dal versante settentrionale, invece, si spingono verso nord, nel deserto; due tra i più lunghi sono i fiumi Xar Moron (in mongolo Shira Muren) e Aibugai (Aibag).
