Extended data:

The theory of the Five Mountains began in Li Zhouguan's book, which was written at the end of the Warring States Period. It was a fusion of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Yin and Yang. Therefore, we think that wuyue Thought is a mountain worship formed by the blending of the four gods since Xia and Shang Dynasties and the five elements concept in the early Warring States period.

In feudal times, the Five Mountains were sealed by the emperor. "Biography of Historical Records" contains: "The sky is too high, so a meditation ceremony is set on Mount Tai to worship it, which is close to the gods." In order to "report the merits of heaven", emperors often regard the majestic and steep peaks as auspicious places, set up altars at the summit and hold amenorrhea ceremonies.

The theoretical estimate of closing Zen originated from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The first person to hold a large-scale meditation ceremony was Qin Shihuang. The only place where Qin Shihuang personally offered sacrifices was Mount Tai. During the Tang Dynasty and the reign of Wu Zhou, meditation activities were held in Songshan Mountain, Zhongyue, Central Plains. After the history of feudal emperors' meditation, the status of the five mountains was higher.
