The ice erosion surface and ice erosion planation surface formed by glacier erosion of mountains have distinct characteristics and are easy to identify. In addition, glacial periods have temporal attributes and periodicity, which is of great significance for the study of mountain landform staging. Based on the study of ice erosion landforms, the coupling relationship has been established between ice erosion landforms and mountain uplift. Based on this, geomorphological stages of the main mountains in north China has been established. It can be divided into Oligocene Dongping Ice Erosion Planum (M0), arly Miocene Taihang Ice Erosion Planum (M1), Mid Miocene Zifang Ice Erosion Surface (M2), Late Miocene Longshan Ice Erosion Surface (M3), and Quaternary Ice Erosion Surface (M4). On this basis, the uplift amplitude and rate of Taihang Mountain, Yanshan Mountain, Mount Taishan Mountain, Mengshan Mountain, Dabie Mountain, Lushan Mountain, Songshan Mountain and other mountains have been estimated. Comparing with the uplift process obtained from apatite fission track dating, the two reflect a high consistency. It is found that since 30 Ma, the uplift rate curves of the northern Taihang Mountains (Mount Wutai), Yanshan Mountains, Mount Taishan Mountains, Mengshan Mountains, Dabie Mountains and other mountains have shown a "∨" shape. The uplift rate curves of mountains, such as Lushan, Songshan, and the southern section of Taihang Mountains (Yuntai Mountain) show a "∧" shape. The uplift process of the middle section of Taihang Mountains is in an "N" shape, which is consistent with the uplift process of the southern section of Taihang Mountains in the early stage and the uplift process of the northern section of Taihang Mountains in the later stage. It is suggested that the previously confirmed partial planation surfaces are essentially ice eroded planation surfaces, not caused by weathered water flow. Mountain waterfalls are the result of the combined action of mountain uplift and glacier erosion, and are not related to flowing water. The essence of the formation of Daigu landform and Zhangshiyan landform is the ice erosion landform
