Abstract

This paper focuses on the research of the protection of great mountains in history. Chinese great mountains have a long history of development, and most of them are still serving as national scenic areas and some of them were even added to the World Heritage List. It is worth studying the cognition and protection in history to find out the reason why these precious natural and cultural heritages can be preserved so well for such a long time. To research the historical protection of Chinese great mountains, the Five Sacred Mountains is the best example and their nature is representative of great mountains in different areas. The research on materials from Pre-Qin Dynasty to Qing Dynasty indicates that the cognition of nature in ancient times is the precondition of the development and protection of the Five Sacred Mountains. This cognition contains ecological consciousness and has developed from the original nature worship to the mixture of natural culture and landscape culture. Each cognition development stage has its own feature on the natural utilization and mountain protection. In this precondition, the specific protection measures are regular national rituals, legal protection of sacred decrees, integrated management system, service base construction based on the "feed mountain by country" principle, and the maintenance and restoration from the government to individuals. Some of the protection measures can only be taken in China such as the "feed mountain by country" principle, and some of the protection measures are only situable for the Five Sacred Mountains such as the regular national rituals. These historical protection measures not only have value for the research of evolution and protection history of Chinese great mountains but also have a good enlightenment on the protection of scenic areas and heritage sites nowadays.
