Tianzhu Mountain National Forest Park in Shanyang, Shaanxi Province

Scenery Tianzhu Mountain is famous for its steep and dangerous scenery. Luo Gongyuan of the Tang Dynasty and Shao Yong, an acting scholar of the Song Dynasty, both lived in seclusion in this mountain. The lowest altitude of the mountain peak is 1255 meters, and the highest altitude is 2074.4 meters. The mountain has seven peaks facing each other. The main peaks are Dadingshan in the north, Tiezhongping in the east, Hongchiliang in the south, and Songshudang in the west. The gaps between the peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The ancient pine trees and branches are green, and the strange rocks are abrupt and varied. They complement each other with the majestic ancient buildings and create a perfect atmosphere. Visitors here feel like they are in a fairyland. The most spectacular thing is the "Sea of ??Tianzhu Clouds". After the rain and the sky clear, white clouds gather on the mountainside and spread out, forming a rolling ocean in an instant. Tianzhu Mountain

It is like "water overflowing the golden mountain". The east and west side walls stand thousands of feet tall, and the paths on the walls are all hewn manually. Known as "King of Hell". There are iron cables on the west side and a single-plank bridge at the dangerous gorge; there is the famous Qili Gorge near the Arrow River. The two walls are facing each other, looking up at the line of blue sky, with vines intersecting, green shades of the sky, and a stream rushing south, with the sound of water like thunder. If one person blocks the way, ten thousand people can't get out of it. Mr. Chen Luzhai's poem "Climbing Tianzhu Mountain" says: "It's like being in the sky, with thousands of miles of plains in the sky. My breath can reach the throne of the emperor. I am so strong that I want to ask God. The cliffs are steep and giant spirits are chopping them. The earth supports the pillars. The autumn colors are in the west." The wind and sunshine are beautiful, and the scenery below is lush and lush." ??This is a true portrayal of the majesty of Tianzhu Mountain. Tianzhu Mountain is rich in natural resources and has charming scenery. The park is colorful and has different seasons. In spring, the mountain flowers are blooming and colorful; in midsummer, the slopes are covered with greenery, and it is cool and pleasant; in golden autumn, the red leaves are like fire and the wild fruits are fragrant; in the severe winter, the snow is covered with snow, and the green pines reflect the snow.

It is said to have been built by Tieban Taoist. There are three in total. It is round in shape, vivid and vivid, and has unique craftsmanship. Shuangfeng Temple is the place where our party leader Li Xiannian led his troops from Hubei to Shangluo during the war to rest and recuperate; Yungai Temple was built when Song Shaoyong lived in seclusion here. The Buddhist Scripture Cave was dug by Zen Master Chaogu, a monk from Shu in the Qing Dynasty, for the Buddhist scriptures. Shangtiantang, built in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, is the earliest palace site. Yaowang Temple, two thousand meters up the mountainside of the main peak, has the words "Yaowang Temple" engraved on it in plain stone and is still intact. In addition, there are 24 caves at the foot of the mountain, including Heilong Cave, Chaoyang Cave, and Chuanxin Cave, 12 peaks such as Xiunu Peak, Diecui Peak, Sanxing Peak, and Feishen Peak, and 12 stones such as Moon Stone and Calabash Stone.

Before the Republic of China, many monks and nuns came to the mountain. In 1960, more than 20 people came down the mountain to return to secular life. In recent years, more monks and nuns have come to the mountain. The incense is very popular and there are many tourists. More than 100,000 people visit each year.

Historical Origin

According to the "Shanyang County Chronicles" published in the first year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous Taoist theorist and alchemist Ge Hong was making steamed buns in this county. He lives in seclusion in the mountains and practices Taoism. Ge Hong, whose courtesy name was Zhichuan and whose nickname was Baopuzi, was from Jurong, Danyang (now in Jiangsu). Before living in seclusion in Luofu Mountain, Guangdong, he traveled to Henan, Jing, Xiang and other places, and Shanyang was not far away from southern Henan and Xiangyang. Far away, so it is possible that he has been to Mantou Mountain. Volume 1 of "Additional Shanyang County Chronicles" published in the 18th year of the Republic of China also writes, "Yangxian Cave is in Mantou Mountain. In the past, people achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven here. It is said that Ge Hongye entered Luofu Mountain. It is also ten miles east of the mouth. There is a deep cave with the inscription "Ge Hong's training place". Luo Gongyuan, a famous Taoist in the Tang Dynasty, once practiced Taoism in Tianzhu Mountain. Volume 1 of "Historical Sites" of Shanyang County Chronicles published in the first year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty records that "Tianzhu Mountain is a place of cultivation." Tianzhu Mountain, Luo Gongyuan of the Tang Dynasty and Shao Kangjie of the Song Dynasty (note by Shao Yongyi) were all hidden here. "[2] Luo Gongyuan, also known as Siyuan; a native of Ezhou (in today's Hubei), one said to be from Jiulong County in Pengzhou (in today's Sichuan), Volume 22 of "Taiping Guangji", Volume 22 of "Yunji Qizhao" One hundred and thirty-five, Volume 35 of "Lishi Zhenxian Ti Dao Tongjian" has his deeds. For example, "Luo Gongyuan" in "Taiping Guangji" records that Gongyuan was good at Taoism since he was a child, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was also very good at it. Good at magic, one time Xuanzong, Zhang Guo, and Ye Fashan each held chess pieces in their hands. They asked Gongyuan to guess what they were holding without letting him see it. Gongyuan told him that there was nothing. When they opened their hands, neither of them had chess pieces. It turned out that The chess pieces are already in Gongyuan's hands; he also wrote that during the Kaiyuan period, he once enjoyed the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gongyuan used a stick as a bridge and invited Xuanzong to go to the Moon Palace with him and listen to the colorful dance music. There are also quite philosophical words in it. For example, Xuanzong asked Gongyuan to teach him the art of immortality. Gongyuan said, "My destiny is mine, not because of him. I must first seek it from within and get it from the outside. If I lose my mind, I will lose my wisdom." Eating wood is beyond the reach of the Supreme Being. "[3] This passage reflects Luo Gongyuan's insights into Taoist health care. He reiterated that Taoism advocates the outlook on life of "my destiny is in me and not in heaven", and pointed out that if you want to live a long life, you should first practice internal training instead of external pursuits, and be pure in heart. Emperors cannot achieve the arduous cultivation of desire, food, clothing, and food. The implication is that if the emperor's life does not change, it is impossible to live forever. Two chapters of "Xian Jing", annotated by Luo Gongyuan and Ye Jingneng. Ye Jingneng was also a Taoist priest during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was favored by Luo Gongyuan and Ye Jingneng for his magic skills such as using talismans to summon gods to conquer ghosts, exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, and induce clouds and rain. Ye Jingneng wrote in the annotation of "The True Dragon and Tiger Nine Immortals Sutra", "The golden elixirs and great medicines are all in the dark heart. If the mind is focused, nothing can be accomplished. If someone teaches you the secrets and you practice them according to the law, you must be careful and clear about the precepts, stay in a quiet room and calm down all things, imagine that there is a god in the trance called Ling Mingye, and refine the Qi of the five internal organs to achieve the great road. Therefore, the "Tao De Jing" says: There is something in the trance, and there is essence in the darkness. "[4] From this passage, we can also see the clues of the transformation of Taoist practice from outer elixir to inner elixir at that time.

According to the local chronicles of Shanyang and the oral traditions of the old Taoist priests at that time, Lu Dongbin, a famous Taoist priest in the late Tang and early Song Dynasty, also visited Tianzhu Mountain. "Shanyang County Chronicle" Volume 1 "Historic Sites. "Immortal Niche" records, "It is said that Lu Chunyang and Han Xiangzi rested here, hence the name." [5] The same volume of "Historic Sites. "Tianzhu Mountain" also records, "It is also said that Lu Dongbin visited this mountain many times, including Zhaixingyan, Motianyan, Jingping Peak, and Thunder God Cave." [6] The story of the Eight Immortals made Lu Dongbin and Han Xiangzi almost famous among Chinese people. According to the investigation of relevant historical materials, both Lu Dongbin and Han Xiangzi are well-known figures. However, Han Xiangzi was an official of the Tang Dynasty and the nephew of Han Yu, the great writer of the Tang Dynasty. Han Yu did have a clan nephew who was quite skilled in Taoism. Lu Dongbin was an extremely important figure in the development of inner alchemy in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Dongbin's name is Yan, his courtesy name is Dongbin, his Taoist name is Chunyangzi, and he lives by his courtesy name. The inner elixir cultivation theory developed by him and his teacher Zhong Liquan was called Zhonglu Jindan Dao in the history of Chinese Taoism. "A Comprehensive Guide to the Real Immortal Body and Way of the Past." Lu Yan" wrote, "His own biography says: I am a native of Jingzhao (now Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province). I was repeatedly rejected as a Jinshi in the late Tang Dynasty. Because I traveled to Huashan Mountain, I met Zhong Li, who taught me the art of prolonging life, and I met the real person Ku Zhu who taught me the sun and moon. When I meet Zhongli again, I will get the magic of the golden elixir. "The world said that I sold ink and took people's heads with flying swords. I heard that there are actually three swords: one to cut off worries." , The second is to cut off greed and the third is to cut off lust. If there is a god in the world who can’t teach me my method, how can I do this if I don’t teach my behavior? , Although they join hands to fight, they will not achieve enlightenment in the end."[7] From these accounts, it is not difficult to see his experience, inheritance and alchemy thoughts. Lu Dongbin advocated that the most important thing in cultivating Taoism is the cultivation of body, mind and life, and opposed absurd and false theories. His alchemy theory had a great influence on the inner alchemy practice of Quanzhen Tao, and he was respected as one of the "Five Ancestors" of Quanzhen Tao. There are many records of Lu Dongbin's activities in Shaanxi in historical books, such as "Ya Yan Series". According to "The Biography of Lu Dongbin", he was from the west of Tongguan. In the early years of Xiantong (860-873) in the Tang Dynasty, he was not ranked among the Jinshi. Later, due to the Huangchao uprising, the society was in turmoil, so he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain with his family and studied the methods of Taoist Laozi. "History of the Song Dynasty." "The Biography of Chen Tuan" also writes that when Chen Tuan lived in seclusion in Huashan to practice Taoism, "Li Qi, a hermit in Huayin...; Guanxi (in ancient times, the city west of Hangu Pass or Tongguan was called Guanxi or Guanyou - the author's note) Lu Dongbin, a Yi man, was skilled in swordsmanship. He was more than a hundred years old and had a childlike appearance. He could walk hundreds of miles in an instant. He was regarded as a god by everyone in the world. "[8] According to the analysis of the above historical data, Lu Dongbin was in the world. It is entirely possible to build a road in the Tianzhu Mountain area. During the Yuan Dynasty, Quanzhen Taoism was highly respected and prosperous. Shaanxi is the birthplace of Quanzhen Taoism and an important activity city. The construction of Taoist temples and the worship of Taoism by Taoist priests and believers are very common. The Yuanwei Palace built in Tianzhushan City is a strong proof of the development of Quanzhen Taoism in the local area. Yuanwei Palace was built under the leadership of Song Defang, a famous Taoist priest in the Yuan Dynasty. According to "Additional Shanyang County Chronicles", Yuanwei Palace "is located at the foothills of the southwest of the city. Its common name is Nan'an, and the meandering Taoist courtyard is one of the eight scenic spots in the county." [9 "Tan Temple" in Volume 3 of Shanyang County Chronicles records, "One mile west of the county town, there is a famous name called Nan'an. It leans against Bijia Mountain behind and is connected to Ziwei Peak in front. It is surrounded by mountains on the left and water flows around it on the right. It is the best place to build heaven and earth." According to Taoist historical records such as Li Ding's "Inscriptions on Song Tianshi's Ancestral Hall of the Immortal Dao Piyun in Xuandu", Yuan Haowen's "Inscriptions on the Tomb of Tongzhenzi", and Li Zhichang's "Journey to the West of the Immortal Changchun". Defang, Song Dynasty (1183-1247), whose courtesy name was Guangdao and whose name was Piyun, was from Yecheng, Laizhou, Shandong. He successively studied under Liu Chuxuan, Wang Chuyi and Qiu Chuji among the "Seven Trues" of Quanzhen Taoism. When Qiu Chuji went to the Western Regions at the invitation of Genghis Khan, De Fang was one of the eighteen disciples who accompanied him. After returning to Yanjing, he lived with Qiu Chuji in Changchun Palace, and under Qiu's orders, he taught as a disciple. He is conscientious in his work, and his every move is impartial and orderly, and all moral principles and customs are not dissatisfied with his virtue and ability. Defang of the Song Dynasty read a lot of books and was very knowledgeable. He was particularly fond of Confucian and Taoist classics such as "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Changes", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Great Learning", "Zhuangzi", and "Liezi". He studied hard and studied other poems and histories. , the works of hundreds of schools of thought are also involved in many of them. He worked hard to collect, organize and publish Taoist scriptures and build Taoist temples, and achieved great results. Before his death, Qiu Chuji attached great importance to the compilation and publication of the "Tao Zang". He discussed this matter with his disciple Song Defang. He deeply regretted the large number of lost Taoist classics and believed that efforts should be made to complete the restoration and compilation of this matter, which is closely related to the development of Taoism. big event. However, Qiu Chuji also knew that he no longer had the energy to realize this ambition, so he handed the matter over to Song Defang for future handling. Qiu Chuji said to Song Defang, "This matter is very big and I have no time to do it. I will take charge of it someday." After Qiu's death, Yin Zhiping took over as the head teacher and inherited his last wish. He attached great importance to the publication of "Tao Zang" and entrusted Song Defang, the general manager, to organize the matter. Song Defang and his disciple Qin Zhi'an planned in detail, and got 1,500 taels of silver from Prime Minister Hu Tianlu, so they began to compile "Tao Zang" in the ninth year of Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty (1237). Due to the heavy task, 27 economic bureaus were set up to take charge of this matter. They worked tirelessly and traveled tens of thousands of miles to collect the lost Taoist scriptures and supplement the lost ones. Based on the "Treasures of Dajin Xuandu", they proofread and published it. It lasted eight years and was completed by Empress Ma Zhen for three years (1244). It is all completed, also known as "Xuandu Treasures", with more than 7,800 volumes, fulfilling Qiu Chuji's last wish, and is another pioneering work in the history of Quanzhen Taoism. The Quanzhen Taoist temple built by Defang of the Song Dynasty "has been distributed in hundreds of districts since the Yanqi and Qin and Jin Dynasties, and then Han Mian." Yuanwei Palace is one of the more than 100 Taoist temples built under the leadership of Defang of the Song Dynasty.

[11] In the twenty-first year of Genghis Khan in Mongolia (1226), the imperial court awarded Song Defang "Master Qingxu"; in the third year of Nai Ma Zhen's title (1244), the imperial court also granted him the title "Xuandu Zhidao Zhenren"; in the seventh year of Yuan Dynasty In 1270, he also posthumously presented "Xuantong Hongjiao Piyun Zhenren", whose works include "The Complete Works of Music". After the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhen Taoism declined in many places in the country. Although Quanzhen Taoism in Shaanxi was not as prosperous as in the Yuan Dynasty, there were some Taoist priests who were very effective in spreading the Taoism and made remarkable achievements. In Baiyun Mountain, Rujia County, the Taoist priest Li Yufeng (also known as Yufeng) came here to live in seclusion in 1605, the 22nd year of Wanli Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty. Xue Zhen, a native of Hancheng, Shaanxi Province, reported to the imperial court, "I was given a collection of Taoist scriptures and was named 'Yufeng Zhenren'" [12]. In Tianzhu Mountain, which belongs to southern Shaanxi City, during the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhen Taoist priest Li Benshan from Sichuan went to Tianzhu Mountain to preach Taoism and accepted Liu Heming and others as disciples. After Li Yu's death, Liu Heming inherited his master's legacy and took charge of Quanzhen Taoist affairs in Tianzhu Mountain City. He vigorously promoted Taoism for more than 50 years, recruited more than 100 disciples, and restored many Taoist temples. Liu Heming came to power in the sixth year of Xuande (1431), and his disciple Yu Jiaomin succeeded Liu Heming and presided over Taoist affairs for more than 30 years, allowing Quanzhen Taoism to continue in Tianzhushan City [13]. During the Hongzhi period of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty (1488-1505), a man named Lei Xian (named Zonglu) who lived in Shanyang went on a trip one day and picked up fragments of glazed tiles at the old site of Nan'an Taoist Temple, with the inscription "Zhi Zhengyuan" engraved on them. He was very moved by the words "The year of Song Dynasty is right and Song Piyun", and he took it as his own duty to inherit Song Piyun (Germany)'s ambition to promote Taoism. Lei Xian donated funds and hired craftsmen. After more than 10 years, Yuanwei Palace was finally rebuilt on the site formerly built by Song Defang of the Yuan Dynasty. Yu Qing wrote in "Nan'an Yuanwei Palace" based on what he saw with his own eyes that "the front and back palaces are soaring, with east and west pillars and couplets, towering magnificently, and decorated with gods, with majestic appearance. The brilliance is splendid and awe-inspiring. As for the surrounding walls, the sky is bright and the sky is shining brightly, and the spectators are standing shoulder to shoulder and expressing their admiration. This all started with Zong Lu’s creation.”[14] We can clearly see the grand Taoist scene in Tianzhushan City back then. After the mid-Ming Dynasty, Quanzhen Taoist activities in the Tianzhu Mountain area gradually declined. In the second year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1737), Quanzhen Taoist priest Li Yongming went from Wuchang, Hubei to Tianzhu Mountain, and successively accepted more than 100 disciples. But later this branch failed to be passed down in Tianzhu Mountain. The current inheritance of the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect in Tianzhu Mountain is a lineage of Taoism that was continued from the Taoist priest Wang Yuanji of Taizipo in Wudang Mountain to Tianzhu Mountain in the middle of the Qing Dynasty to spread the Taoism. Therefore, the Taoist priests of the Longmen sect of Quanzhen Taoism in today's Zhushan respect Wudang Prince Po as the source of their dharma heirs. After Wang Yuanji arrived at Tianzhu Mountain, he and his disciples Wu Minghui, Zhang Mingxiu, Liu Mingyu and others vigorously promoted Taoism, restored Taoist temples, engraved more than 20 kinds of Taoist classics, and had more than 500 disciples. After Wang Yuanji became an ascension, Wu Minghui (Taoist name Dao Yinzi) succeeded his master in taking charge of Taoist affairs in Tianzhu Mountain. He worked diligently and wrote Taoist books "Secret Records of Saviors" and "Cultivation of Alchemy", etc., and converted more than 1,000 disciples. In 1925, Wu Minghui emerged as a disciple. His disciple Zhang Zhizheng (Taoist name An Lianzi) inherited Wu Minghui's legacy, took charge of Taoist affairs in Tianzhu Mountain, and worked hard to promote Quanzhen Taoism. Zhang Zhizheng, together with the Tianzhu Mountain Taoist congregation, after more than 10 years of hard work, restored the Tiewa Temple and the Yungai Temple (also known as Dading) Taoist Temple, and created the Shuangfeng Temple Taoist Temple in Tiezhongping, with 4 main halls and auxiliary halls. 3 seats. The main halls are named "Tongming Hall", "Doumu Hall", "Wuji Hall", and "Wansheng Tower", and the auxiliary halls are called "Lingguan Hall", "Empress Hall" and "Taibai Hall". There are also bell towers and drum towers. There are more than 100 rooms, living rooms, and wing rooms, and the number of Taoist priests living in the temple reached more than 100 at its peak, making Shuangfeng Temple the largest Taoist temple built in the history of Taoism in Tianzhu Mountain. During the War of Liberation, Li Xiannian's troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army moved to Shangluo City. In the summer and autumn of 1946, Li Xiannian led a troop of about 300 people on a mountain road from Manchuanguan to Shuangfeng Temple in extremely difficult times. They were warmly received by Master Zhang Zhizheng, and the troop hid in the mountains for half a month. When they parted, Zhang Zhizheng specially changed Li into Taoist attire to ensure Li Xiannian's safety. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the religious policies of the party and the state were implemented relatively well in the Tianzhu Mountain Taoist community. According to statistics in 1952, there were 37 Taoist temples and 478 temples in Shanyang County at that time. There are 123 people from Qiandao and 99 from Kundao. Tianzhu Mountain, the center of its activities, has 38 people from Qiandao and 29 from Kundao. In 1956, Taoist Zhang Zhizheng, who was in charge of Taoist affairs in Tianzhu Mountain, was elected as a representative of the Shanyang County People's Congress. In the spring of 1958, he attended the enlarged director meeting of the China Taoist Association in Beijing. Zhang Zhizheng also actively responded to the government's call and organized Taoists to study newspapers and relevant government documents. However, after the late 1950s, due to the interference of "Left" ideas, errors occurred in the implementation of the party and the country's religious policies. Taoist activities in Tianzhushan City suffered an undue impact, and there were heartbreaking incidents. Situation: In 1960, more than 40 Taoist priests headed by Zhang Zhizheng were criticized. In the same year, Zhang Zhizheng was unjustly arrested and many Taoist priests and nuns were dismissed and returned to secular life. During the "Cultural Revolution", the Tianzhu Mountain Taoist Temple was completely destroyed. After the reform and opening up, as the country's situation improved day by day, Taoism in Tianzhu Mountain ushered in a new spring. Unjust, false and wrongful cases were vindicated, and Taoist activities gradually embarked on the track of healthy development.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zhizheng's disciple Zhou Ligui (Taoist name: Tianzhenzi), the Taoists of Tianzhu Mountain dug rocks, opened up wasteland, beat pine seeds, dug medicinal materials, ate and slept in the open, devoted themselves to the Tao, and overcame difficulties unimaginable by ordinary people. After nearly 20 years of hard work and more than 1 million yuan of self-raised funds, four Taoist temples, including Shuangfeng Temple, Yungai Temple, Tiewa Temple and Chaoyang Cave, were built and restored. In 1984, Taoist Master Zhou Ligui and the Taoists established the Tianzhu Mountain Taoist Management Committee, with Zhou Ligui serving as the director of the management committee. In the same year, Taoist priest Zhou was elected as a director of the Shaanxi Provincial Taoist Association, and Zhou Ligui was appointed director of the management committee. In 1989, he received the "Three Altar Ordinances" at Baiyunguan in Beijing. In 1993, he was rated as an advanced individual in the national Taoist circle for patriotism and religion. In 1998, Shanyang County Taoist Association was established, and Taoist Master Zhou was elected as the president. In 2000, Shangluo Taoist Association was established. He was elected as the honorary president on September 20, 2006. On September 9 of the lunar calendar in 1993, a grand consecration ceremony of the statue was held at the Tianzhu Mountain Shuangfeng Temple.
