Historical evolution

Qingcheng Mountain has a long history. It is said that the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan had Ning Fengzi, who lived in Qingcheng Mountain and practiced Taoism. He once taught the Yellow Emperor the skill of "dragon climbing". The yellow emperor built the altar and worshiped it as "five mountains zhangren", so later generations also called Qingcheng mountain zhangren mountain, and Jianguan (zhangren view) was built to commemorate it. In ancient times, it was called five immortal mountains together with Wudang Mountain in Hubei, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, Qiyun mountain in Anhui and Jingfu mountain in Shaanxi. They are dedicated to Zhenwu dangmo emperor, Ningfeng Zhenjun, the father-in-law of the five mountains, Haotian Jade Emperor God, the God of subduing demons and protecting Taoism, and Guangyuan Pudu God.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, one of the Eight Immortals in Shu, went to Qingcheng Mountain to practice Taoism. But it was Zhang Daoling who really established Qingcheng Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain.

In the early years of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he went to Heming mountain (now in Dayi County of Chengdu City) to practice Taoism and founded wudoumi Taoism, also known as Tianshi Taoism. Both Mt. Heming and Mt. Qingcheng belong to the ancient Minshan mountains. Zhang Daoling first came from Mt. Heming to Mount Qingcheng to preach and emerged in the mountains.

In the second year of Han'an (143) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, two years after writing 24 Taoist books, Zhang Daoling arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, where he joined Mao to preach and founded China's local religion Taoism, making Qingcheng Mountain the first of the four famous Taoist mountains in China.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Qingcheng Wushu absorbed foreign martial arts skills, and at the same time, it blended with Dan Dao, nature, Yi Xue and medicine to form a unique and complete system, becoming one of the four major schools of Chinese martial arts.

The rulers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties gave support to Taoism, which made Qingcheng Mountain in this period "the house of the fairies". During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Taoism flourished, with Qingchengshan temples all over the country and high Taoism emerged in large numbers.

After the Tianbao rebellion, the Central Plains was restless, and Emperor Xuanzong and Emperor Fuzong of Tang Dynasty took refuge in Shu successively.

Emperor Fu Zong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the luotian grand ceremony in Qingcheng Mountain, with 2400 positions.

At the end of Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, some famous people of daomen also went to and from Shu. For example, Peng Xiao and Chen Tuan once visited Qingcheng Mountain, while Du Guangting and Tan Qiao all grew up in Qingcheng Mountain. Among them, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, lived in seclusion in baiyunxi of Qingcheng Mountain for a long time, sorting out and writing a large number of Taoist books. Later generations built a "Du Guangting reading platform" on the Bank of Baiyun river for people to pay attention to.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist, came to Qingcheng Mountain. Shangqing Taoism claims that if one practices Tao, he can be promoted to "Shangqing heaven", which is higher than the ideal "Taiqing realm" of the old Tianshi Taoism.

Zhang Jixian, the master of heaven in the Northern Song Dynasty, once came here to worship, and then revived the relationship between the master of heaven and Taoism in Changdao temple.

In 1174, the first year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You came here and wrote a poem: "there is still a reading platform in the mountains. The wind sweeps away the haze and the painting obstacles open. Huayue curling is still here. When will Qinglian come At the same time as Du Guangting, Zhang Suqing, a Taoist of Qingcheng Mountain Taoist temple, was a painter in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.

In the Ming Dynasty, Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain belonged to the Dragon sect of Quanzhen Taoism.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were constant wars and Taoists fled.

In 1669, Chen qingjue, a Taoist of Longmen sect of Quanzhen Taoism in Wudang Mountain, came to Qingcheng Mountain to preside over the educational affairs, which changed the situation again. The present Qingcheng Mountain Taoism belongs to the dantaibidong sect of the Longmen sect of Quanzhen Taoism.

In 1982, Qingcheng Mountain, as an important part of Qingcheng Mountain Dujiangyan scenic spot in Sichuan Province, was approved by the State Council as one of the first batch of national scenic spots.

In 2000, Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan were included in the world heritage list as a world cultural heritage.
