The Moon Emerges from Jue Mountain

　　　　Jue Mountain, also known as Jiao Mountain, features two towering peaks standing opposite each other, majestic and lush, resembling a pair of jade stones inlaid in the Taihang Mountains. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival every August, if you stand in the Kuanyue Pavilion within the Qinglian Temple at the mountain’s base and look up, you’ll see a huge full moon suddenly emerging between the twin peaks of Jue Mountain, its silvery glow spilling over the surrounding mountains, forests, waters, and rocks like liquid silver. The twin peaks of Jue Mountain are enveloped in a veil-like moonlight, outlining their breathtaking silhouette in a hazy, dreamlike scene that seems to touch the heavens. This is the famous scenic wonder of Jincheng celebrated through the ages — “The Moon Emerges from Jue Mountain,” also known as “Twin Peaks Holding the Moon.”
