Introduction

Located on the eastern coast of the Asian continent, in the southeastern part of Jilin Province, China, and bordering the Pacific Ocean, Changbai Mountain is the tallest peak in northeast China. The mountain was called Buxian Mountain in the Zhou and Qin periods, Shandan Great Ridge in the Han Dynasty, and Gaima Mountain in the Wei Dynasty. These names have continued for more than two thousand years. During the Tang Dynasty, Changbai Mountain was called Taibai Mountain, and the name Changbai Mountain that began to be used in the Liao and Jin periods was due to its year-round snow accumulation and its formation by volcanic eruption. This causes the grayish-white or light yellow volcanic ash to appear white even after melting with snow and ice. Additionally, when viewed from a distance, one can see white clouds swirling above Changbai Mountain, giving it the name "Changbai Mountain."
