In Taoist mythology, "blessed land and cave in heaven" is the title of famous mountain where immortals and real people live. Although the ancients thought that immortals could ascend to heaven, most of them still lived in famous mountains on the ground. As early as the end of the Warring States Period, the alchemist of Yan Qi claimed that there were three sacred mountains in the East China Sea, Penglai, Yingzhou and Fanghu, and there were two immortals in the West, Kunlun and Langya, where Dong and the Queen Mother of the West lived respectively.

The Journey to the West wrote at the beginning:

At this time, I felt that Pangu opened heaven, Huang San ruled the world, and the five emperors set ethics. The world is divided into four continents: Shenzhou in the East, Hezhou in the West, Buzhou in the South and Luzhou in the North.

In Dongsheng, Shenzhou, there is a country called Ole. This country is close to the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea called Guo Huashan.

In the original book, Huaguoshan is the birthplace of the Monkey King, the king and king of Huaguoshan, and became brothers with the demon world monster. Niu Wangmo, the eldest brother is called Pingtian Great Sage, the second brother is called Fuhai Great Sage Dumpling Devil, the third brother is mixed with Tian Tian Peng Sheng Devil, the fourth brother moves the mountain lion camel king, the fifth brother ventilates the Monkey King, and the sixth brother drives away the great sage Zhou Yuwang.
