Surrounded by mountains, there are peach forests. The field area can be one to twenty mu, just like Tao Yuanming's "peach outside the world" It's called "source".

history

The Taoist temple was founded in the period of Tianbao (742-756) of Tang Dynasty. It was the theory of fairy spirits in Wuyishan that attracted a large number of scholars to come here to practice in seclusion. Kongs, Zhuangs and ye (later called sanhuangyuanjun) came to Wuyi to practice together. After that, they all grew up in Taoyuan cave and developed into a secluded paradise with peach trees. Chen Shitang, a Confucianist of the Song Dynasty, and Wu Zhengli, a scholar of the high school, also lived here to cultivate their works, and Bai Yuchan, the fifth ancestor of Southern Taoism, also lived in seclusion in Taoyuan to make alchemy. In the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Wenjian temple and Sanyuan nunnery were expanded, with statues of Sanguan Dadi and Liu Wenjian Gong. In Ming Dynasty, Taoyuan Taoist temple was well-known and one of the main Taoist temples in Wuyishan. At that time, Sanqing hall, sanhuangyuanjun hall, Sanguan hall, Zhenwu hall, Niangniang hall, Gongde temple and other halls were built, covering an area of more than 2000 square meters. Most of the high road practitioners chose to live here. Wu swab's poem "a visit to the Taoist in XiaoTaoYuan cave" in the Ming Dynasty says that " There are ancient villages in the source of poverty, two or three people who avoid the world; people who avoid the world do not avoid the Qin Dynasty, and they live in the heart to cultivate their spirit; people who cultivate and cut their own fields in spring have no need for food and clothing; the wind moves and brown flowers fall, and after rain, they pick medicine seedlings. After the decline of the Qing Dynasty, many temples have collapsed. In 1936, Mr. Hu Wenhu, a famous overseas Chinese, and Mr. SA Zhenbing, commander of the Navy, visited Chaoshan. Seeing that the Taoist temple was in a state of disrepair, Mr. Hu donated 500 Ocean on the spot as funds for the renovation, and inscribed a plaque of "little Taoyuan" on the Mountain Gate. After the destruction of the "Cultural Revolution", the Taoist temple was left with only one empty shell in the middle.
