What are the four famous Taoist mountains?

Four famous Taoist mountains in China,

As we all know, Taoism is the indigenous religion in China. It was founded by Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Shi Tian, in Hemingshan, Sichuan during the Shun Di period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has a history of nearly two thousand years. In the long history of development, Taoism has gradually expanded its influence and become one of the three major religions in China, affecting all aspects of people's lives.

Today, I will introduce you to four famous mountains in Taoism. They are Yun Qi in Anhui, Wudang Mountain in Hubei, Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi. Although many people can't remember the four famous Taoist mountains today, it is undeniable that they have a lofty position and far-reaching influence in Taoism.

In addition, the four famous Taoist mountains are not only rich in cultural heritage, but also have many places of interest. They are rated as 4A and 5A tourist attractions by the National Tourism Administration, and they are excellent destinations for holiday travel. Going to play for a day or two will be a bit exaggerated, but it will definitely make you close to nature and relax.

First, Yun Qi.

Yun Qi, located in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, is an important birthplace of Hui culture. It is a Taoist fairy mountain that takes the method of heaven and earth, and is known as the "Peach Blossom Garden Cave". According to legend, as early as the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Taoist priest of Gongqixia lived in seclusion under Tianmen Rock in Yun Qi, which opened the history of Taoism in Yun Qi. In the past 1000 years, the Taoist culture in Mount Yun Qi has experienced ups and downs. There are not many historical sites now, but there are many Taoist temples restored on the old site, such as Yuxu Palace, Luohan Cave and Zhenwutang.

Yun Qi is suitable all year round. It is surrounded by clouds all year round. The weather in the sea of clouds is as high as 260 days every year. Walking on Yuehua Street above the semi-suspended cliff is like dreaming, which makes people forget the passage of time at once. In addition, there are now 30 families living in Yuehua Street, both local residents and Taoist priests who practice and settle here. The distinctive Huizhou folk houses and the quiet and clean Taoist buildings are very attractive.

Second, Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province

Wudang Mountain is located in danjiangkou city, Shiyan City, northwest Hubei Province. In Taoism, it is regarded as a sacred place for the cultivation of mysterious and innocent gods, and enjoys the reputation of "unparalleled scenery in ancient times and the first fairy mountain in the world". Wudang Mountain has a long history and flourished in the Ming Dynasty, because the Yongle emperor Judy was made a prince since childhood and was ordered to station in Beiping to guard the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. He thinks that although he is different from Zhenwu Emperor who guards and blesses the north, his responsibilities are basically the same, and they are all guardians of the north.

After Judy ascended the throne, the temple in Wudang Mountain was overhauled, which not only means seeking the blessing of the gods for the longevity of Daming Mountain, but also shows that he was granted the throne by divine right. Therefore, in addition to all kinds of myths and legends, Wudang Mountain today has a magnificent building scale, and tourists come here in an endless stream every year.

Third, Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan.

Qingcheng Mountain, known as "Qingcheng Mountain is a paradise", is located in the west of Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province. It is one of the important birthplaces of Taoism, and also the fifth largest cave in the ten caves of Taoism, mainly dedicated to moral buddhas. Qingcheng Mountain Palace has a large audience, with Shi Tian Cave as the center, and Fu Jian Palace, Shangqing Palace, Zushi Temple, Yuqing Palace and other temples along the mountain.

Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area is mainly divided into two areas: Qianshan Mountain and Houshan Mountain. Qian Shan is small, and you can see a Taoist temple every few tens of meters. It is very quiet and classical under the shade of Maolin Woods, which is very suitable for mass tourists. Although the area of Houshan Mountain is large, most areas retain the extremely primitive features and are more mysterious, which is favored by mountaineering enthusiasts.

Fourth, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.

Longhu Mountain, located in Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, is the "ancestral court" of Taoist orthodoxy, which mainly worships the Taoist protector. Because of its position and role in the history of Taoism, it has been called "the fairy capital" and "the blessed land on earth" since ancient times.

In addition to profound Taoism, Longhu Mountain is also a world-class geological park, famous for its unique Danxia landform. In the scenic area of 200 square kilometers, there are many famous scenic spots, such as Xianshuiyan, Shangqing Ancient Town and Elephant Trunk Mountain. These are famous places of interest since ancient times and are well worth visiting.
