Where is Liuzhou Taihe Daoguan?

Taoism is an inherent religion of the Han nationality in China. It is very different from Buddhism, Christianity and Islam introduced into China, and it is the only national religion rooted in China and originated from ancient national culture. It originated from ancient witchcraft. After a long gestation process, it was initiated by Zhang Daoling in Heming Mountain in Chaqing, Sichuan Province in the first year of Han 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 142), which was the beginning of Taoist stereotypes. After its birth, it became a large-scale religion with Confucianism and Buddhism.

Liuzhou, the mountain city of Qier, was a land of hundreds of leaps and bounds in ancient times. Tanzhong County was founded in the sixth year of Han Yuanding (111 BC), which was the earliest county government in Liuzhou. Around this time, there was a custom of "chicken bones occupying the year to worship the water god". It highlights the prevalence of witchcraft culture in primitive clan society. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, metaphysics, salt and Taoism were immersed in the social life of local ancestors. In the Western Jin Dynasty, Tanzhong County was governed by Guilin County. In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (AD 621), it was governed by Nankun Prefecture. And moved to the downtown area. Thirteen years later, Nankun was renamed Liuzhou. When Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, she used Buddhism to create a coup, advocating Buddhism and restraining Taoism. After the death of Wu Zetian, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong, took measures to promote Taoism and suppress Buddhism to eliminate the pernicious influence of Wu, and ordered that "there is no need to create a Buddhist temple", and made the five mountains set up their own Taoist laojunmiao. Later, it was promulgated that the temples of Emperor Xuanyuan (Laozi, the founder of Taoism) were set up in various states, which advocated metaphysics and made students learn Laozi and Zhuangzi. Based on this, it is speculated that Taoism in Liuzhou was also in full swing. However, except for the Leitang Temple built before the Tang Dynasty, the remains of the temple are beyond examination.

In Song Dynasty, emperors were obsessed with Taoism, so there were many Taoist temples and temples in Liuzhou and its surrounding counties. For example, in Rongzhou, besides the Laozishan Dojo and Xiangshan Temple, a large-scale Sanqing Hall was built in Laojun Cave. Song Taizu personally awarded the "Imperial Book Monument" in the 12-axis trunk cave, and named Laojun Cave as the "true fairy rock", becoming one of the "36 caves" in the national Taoist holy land. Liuzhou, known as "the flourishing of humanity, is in harmony with Zhongzhou", which is only recorded from the cliff of Song Chun in the existing rock in the eastern suburb of the city for seven years. It is 31 statues of the Taoist God, the Jade Emperor and the gods with the names of five elements and twenty-eight lodges in the rock in the year, and there is a stone archway inscribed with "the first fairy district" in front of the rock. Road flyovers practice here, and state officials often come to pilgrimage. It can be seen that the architecture and incense of the temple pavilion in the city are at its peak. After more than ten years, Kublai Khan, a Mongolian aristocrat, attacked Ezhou (now Wuchang), and another Mongolian general, Uriyangqatai, after attacking Dali (now Yunnan), took advantage of his victory and marched into the Song Dynasty in Guangxi. Everywhere he went, he burned and killed, and Liuzhou was razed to the ground, and all the temples were destroyed. Since then, the Yuan Dynasty ruled Guangxi for more than 9 years, and Liuzhou Road was located in Liucheng County, which was abandoned in Yuanzhou City, the downtown area today.

in the Ming dynasty, Liuzhou prefecture was set up in the former Liuzhou city, with 1 counties and 2 states under its jurisdiction, thus regaining its status as a central city in central Guangxi. Taoism, which was popular in the court and among the people from generation to generation, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When the saddle and the fish peak are two mountains, it can be called a fairyland full of mysterious atmosphere. There is Zitong Rock on the west foot of Ma 'anshan Mountain, which is located between the clouds caves in Zhulin, which is a wonder of mountains and rivers. It is named because Zitong Emperor is enshrined in the cave. Yan Xingbang, the magistrate of Kangxi County in Qing Dynasty, was rebuilt, and the words Kaihua and Longmen were engraved. According to historical data, it has always been the activity center of Taoism, and it has been enduring for a long time. Xu Xiake's visit in Ming Dynasty is recorded in Travel Notes. Yufeng Mountain, which is separated from it by a pool, is in and out of the bustling caves of Buddhism, Taoism and witchcraft, especially Taoism. In Sanqing Cave, there are statues of the highest Taoist gods, such as Jade Qing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Taishang Daojun and Qing Taishang Laojun. There are a mountain temple and a land temple on the mountain. Zhou Li said that these two Taoist temples were honored as kings in the Tang Dynasty and were promoted to the title of "Holy Emperor" in the Song Dynasty. In addition, there are Doumu Pavilion, Chunyang Pavilion, Zhuyi Cave for worshipping literary judges, Sanxing Cave for blessing, fortune and longevity, and Jiesi Rock where Taoism and witchcraft are integrated, and so on. Mo Yan in Song and Ming Dynasties and Xu Xiake's Travels are recorded in the existing mountains.
