Development history

Tiantai Mountain has a profound historical and cultural heritage. The ancient name of Tiantai Mountain in Bashu is Dongmeng mountain. As early as in ancient times, Tiantai Mountain was the place where the ancient "Qiong" people lived and multiplied. During the flood and famine period in ancient times, Dayu chose this mountain as a platform when he crossed the kingdom of Shu by water, so he got the good name of "Tiantai".

During the period of Ba Shu's enlightenment, bieling, the king of ancient Shu, ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices. At the end of Han Dynasty, Taoists dug holes in Xiangshan Mountain and built altars to offer sacrifices to gods. It was officially renamed "Tiantai Mountain", which added religious and cultural content to Tiantai Mountain. At the beginning of the Shu and Han Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang visited Linqiong to observe the cultivation of "Jiatun" and the excavation of "Huojing". He took a "wooden chair car" to look up the mountain and left the place names of "tianchepo" and "wangjunding". During the northern and Southern Dynasties, pudasheye, a monk on a journey to the west, traveled here and founded the Tiantai Buddhist temple. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, religion spread. In the early Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang, the magistrate of Huojing County, worshipped Taoism, so the influence of Taoism was dominant in Tiantai mountain. In the Five Dynasties, Tiantai Mountain also built a large scale Town God's Temple. In the two Song Dynasty, the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism coexisted with each other, and three fought for mountains and forests. Each camp garden, Taoist temple and Buddhist temple, more than a hundred official offices, religious power was rampant and all kinds of contradictions were widespread. At that time, Wentong (painter of the Northern Song Dynasty) and Lu You (patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty) led the management of religious affairs in Tiantai Mountain. At the end of Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, Tiantai Mountain declined gradually, so there was the event that "Fuchen opened the mountain" in Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty (the third year of Dashun), Zhang Xianzhong's army and horse were defeated when they passed through Jiamen pass in Qiongzhou. Three thousand monks of Tiantai Mountain intercepted them. Zhang's army then went up from the back of Tiantai Mountain around qingcaopo and attacked the religious group. As a result, the temples and nunneries of Tiantai Mountain were destroyed. In the Qing Dynasty, Taoism and Buddhism tried to recover the famous religious mountains, but the scale was far less than in the past. During the period of the Republic of China, soldiers and bandits were rampant in the area of Tiantai Mountain, the society was unstable, and the Chaoshan incident was almost extinct. Tiantai Mountain is also the only place where the red army fought and worked during the long march in Chengdu, and the only red tourist area in Chengdu. The Qionglai Memorial Hall of the Red Army's long march in the scenic spot is the "patriotic education base in Sichuan Province" and "patriotic education base in Chengdu City". During the cultural revolution, the religious culture of Tiantai Mountain was greatly damaged.
