How the highly quantum mechanical phase diagrams at small spin is connected with the classical (infinite spin) phase diagrams is interesting for many models. We focus on a particular problem, the ground state phase diagram of the quantum spin-2 XXZ chain in the presence of on- site anisotropy. We use a state of the art infinite system density-matrix-renormalization- group (iDMRG) algorithm and show how many challenging phases and phase transitions in quantum spin systems can be accurately detected. Different types of on-site anisotropies are considered, allowing us to establish the validity of the following statements: One, the spin-2 model can be tuned into a phase which is equivalent to the "topologically nontrivial" spin-1 Haldane phase. Two, the spin-2 Haldane phase at the isotropic Heisenberg point is adiabatically connected to the "trivial" large-D phase, with a continuous change of the Hamiltonian parameters. Furthermore, we study the spin-3 XXZ chain to help explain the development of the classical phase diagram.
