Introduction to the historical position of ancient buildings in Qinglong cave;

Qinglong Cave also integrates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, including Taoist temples, temples and Buddhist temples, as well as Confucian academies and imperial examinations. Buildings of different religions are also harmonious. According to legend, Zhang Sanfeng (also known as the untidy immortal) was a Taoist praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, who once practiced in Zhongyuan Cave. There are still immortal beds, bags, umbrellas and blast furnaces (all in the shape of stalactites) where he stayed.

Zhang Sanfeng believes that although the founders of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are different, their theories are all called Taoism, and their purpose is to restrain themselves and benefit others, which is the same. Zhang Ziyang, a Taoist priest in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Wang Zhongyang, a Taoist priest in the Qing Dynasty, both said that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are "three points and one way". It is not surprising to see the old gentleman's temple (that is, the founder of Taoism, Laoyong) and the sage's temple (that is, the founder of Confucianism, Confucius) in Qinglong Cave, as well as the joint construction of the Guanyin Hall and the Jade Emperor Pavilion in Buddhism.

The whole building complex is uneven and criss-crossed, and Qinglong Cave, such as a mirage and Penglai Fairy Island, is seen from a distance. It is a wonderful example of the combination of Han architecture in the south of the Yangtze River and mountain architecture culture of southwest ethnic minorities. Known as the "Southwest Hanging Temple", it is the largest ancient architectural complex in Guizhou Province. 1988 was approved by the State Council and listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
