On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the emperor Ziwei of the yuan palace was blessed by one of the nine elements. On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the emperor Qingxu of the yuan palace was blessed by two elements and seven elements. On the 15th day of the tenth lunar month, the emperor Fusang of the yuan palace was blessed by three elements and five elements. According to Tao Hongjing's "the great work of Zhenling" in the Qi and Liang dynasties of the Southern Dynasty, "there is the Sanyuan palace of the Yuqing Dynasty, and the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is the main one." So Sanyuan palace became the residence of the highest god of Taoism. Zhou Tai Ye was worshipped on the side of Sanguan Dadi.

On the lower side of the platform of Sanguan emperor, there is a picture of the journey of Changchun to the West. The work is simple and clear.

From near to far, the first thing you can see is Kunyu Mountain in Shandong Province, the birthplace of Quanzhen Taoism. It is said that Magu became an immortal here. In 1167, Wang Chongyang traveled to the East and lived in Yanxia cave. He carried out missionary activities and founded Quanzhen Taoism. In Yanxia cave, he taught the seven sons of Quanzhen, discussed the principles and offered suggestions for social stability. The next step was to teach scriptures at Louguantai in Zhouzhi, Shaanxi Province. Seeing the decline of the Zhou royal family, Laozi decided to go back to Zhou and go to Liusha.
