衡山

衡山为五岳之南岳，祝融峰为极顶。秀在林木与烟云，也在佛道宫观并立的山中制度——香火书写的是长辈安康与季节往还。

Hengshan is the Southern Peak of the Five; Zhurong is its crown. Beauty sits in woods and mist—and in halls where Buddhist and Daoist institutions share a mountain. Incense here marks elder care and seasonal return.

南岳以「寿岳」入民俗记忆，更是佛道共处的宗教地理。读它，是读南方礼仪空间如何容纳祈愿与登临。

Folk memory calls it a longevity peak; more precisely it is shared sacred geography. Read how southern ritual space holds both prayer and ascent.
