Xiashan Mountain was called "Heshan" in ancient times, which was named because it was located between Guishan Mountain and Sheshan Mountain, and it was named after the meaning of "the two mountains are in harmony". During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Guanghao, the head of Dali Temple, built a "Mingnong Mountain House" in Xiashan to live in seclusion. However, when he saw the mountains as green as jade, he carved the word "Jade Gorge" on the stone, so Xiashan was also called "Jade Gorge".
