     The place where Huashan’s Taoist caretaker gave Yao this advice is known as Huafeng. It’s about three kilometers east of the present county seat of Huayin. Unfortunately, the last artifacts of the former sacrificial center were destroyed in 1958 during Mao’s Great Leap Forward, and the site is now better known for the neolithic remains discovered there since then. Two other shrines have also disappeared. One built at the beginning of the Chou dynasty south of Huayin has become Huashan High School.
