Hengyang and Hengshan used to be one in history, regardless of each other. Qin set up a county, Hengshan is named after the mountain, and Hengshan County is here.

During the Three Kingdoms period, in the second year of Wu Taiping (AD 257), Hengyang County was established to govern the north of Hengshan County. Jin changed Hengyang County to Hengshan County, which still belongs to Hengyang County. Sui changed the county into a state, and abolished Hengyang County as Hengshan County to govern Hengzhou.

3. Zhu Rong is the symbol and representative of Mount Heng. Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue stretches for 800 miles, with 72 peaks, 52 of which are in Hengshan County. Who is the symbol or representative? Nature is the main peak of Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong, as the name of the main peak in Heng Yue, has existed since ancient times. However, Zhu Rong's name is even older. During the period of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, he was a fire official in charge of fire and held a hereditary position. After the death of previous fire officers, he was named Vulcan, and later generations took Zhu Rong as their surname. This is a deep-rooted concept of the Chinese nation and a common belief of Chinese at home and abroad. Zhu Rong's Vulcan identity is a part of the history of Chinese civilization, which is equal to the concept of descendants of the Chinese people.
4. Vulcan worship has a fundamental influence on the emergence and development of Hengyang culture. The worship of Vulcan in Hengyang has a long history and distinctive features, which profoundly affects people's living habits and cultural psychology. The ritual and music system derived from offering sacrifices to Vulcan Zhu Rong has evolved into a paradigm of festivals, weddings, funerals and weddings in Hengyang, and part of its heritage has been preserved to this day, which has become a unique custom different from other places. For example, on the fifteenth day of the first month in Nanyue ancient town, the dragon hand lion stands out, tied into a dragon shape with straw and inserted with lit incense. Everyone stands in a long queue with a bamboo pole, which is very spectacular. The people in the counties and districts around Hengshan Mountain all offered sacrifices to the Kitchen God known as the "Master of Siming". There used to be "Tian Deng". After spring, every household holds a row of lanterns, mixed with fire dragons, and goes door to door. The two ancient towns of jiepai and Gaotang have kept the Lantern Festival and the Fire Dragon Festival respectively, and the fire in ZhaJiang Chun has always been "striking iron flowers"; Hengyang people's move to a new house is called "moving fire", and the separation of brothers and fathers is called "dividing fire". Red and white weddings and funerals are especially fond of setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and "hot work" is an auspicious day. When sending fire to meet fire, people should burn incense and paper to pray for blessings, and pay special attention to keeping the flame bright. It is forbidden to trample on burnt paper ashes. This shows the status of fire in Hengyang Customs.
