historical origin

According to the remains of Ming Dynasty inscriptions, Xiaoyao temple has been a large-scale and well-known Taoist activity center since at least the late Ming Dynasty, known as "seventy-two temples from upper to lower".

According to Yuzhou annals, "Kongtong mountain is also called Daxian mountain." The Taoist Xiaoyao temple, known as the first Taoist temple in the world, is located on the Qiqie stone wall on the south slope of Kongtong mountain. It has been the gathering place of Taoist Zen since ancient times. "Legend of immortals" records: "at the time of the three emperors, master xuanzhongchi, Emperor quanque, Yu huazi, Laozi Jiuhao, and bu were tired in the immortal mountain." When Emperor Xuanyuan was Emperor Huang, there was guangchengzi who practiced Taoism here. "Zhuangzi" contains: "the Yellow Emperor for the son of heaven 19 years, this trip to the world, heard guangchengzi in Kongtong mountain, see it in the past." "Zhuangzi notes" also said: "guangchengzi learn Tao in Kongtong mountain, the Yellow Emperor asked guangchengzi." Kongtong mountain is located in the Juntian area, which forms the origin of Chinese Taoism and the activity center of ancient Taoism. Tongyang's "Shangguan Xiaguan 72yuan" Taoist Zen Xiaoyao temple remains. Standing on the Xiaoyao lake to the south of the view, looking up to the north, the 72 main hall of Xiaoyao temple is looming in the clouds, and visitors are like flying clouds; looking down at the Bixin lake, the 72 main hall of Xiaoyao temple is reflected in the lake, like Penglai Fairy Island. It can be said that it's a beautiful picture, and its feeling is like being in a fairyland.

Xiaoyao temple was founded five thousand years ago. At that time, the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan "was trapped in the hill with a bear and lived in Xuanyuan". He defeated Chiyou and became famous. He should be respected as the son of heaven by the princes of all countries. When he saw Kongtong mountain in the West of the city with beautiful mountains and rivers and unique caves, he learned from guangchengzi and built a temple here. As a result, many beautiful legends and stories about the activities of the Yellow Emperor have been left here, becoming a holy land for Chinese people to seek their roots and pay homage to their ancestors. Xiaoyao temple is built by the mountain and water, and sits by the gorge. It is in a precipitous situation and has a spectacular scenery. Since the reform and opening up, the municipal and township governments have made joint efforts to develop, and have successively restored and built the Guangzi Notre Dame hall, laozumu hall, Pangu hall, Cangjie hall, Xuanwu hall, jujiangtai and other landscapes. This hall, together with the original Xuanyuan Huangdi hall and Sanhuang hall, forms a magnificent building complex of Shangguan Xiaguan 72 hall.

The West Cliff of the Yellow Emperor's Daoan temple is steep and dangerous. During the rainy season, the waterfall falls several feet and the sound spreads for tens of miles. The scenery is very spectacular. At the root of Dongya, there is a spring gushing out, which is the source of Xiaoyao. Running water runs through the green bamboo garden and flies down the cliff. There is guangchengzi temple in the south-west cross the stone bridge, and there is a statue of guangchengzi in the temple. Here is Gu Yanwu's "book on the benefits and diseases of the prefecture and the whole world", which says: "there are waterfalls on the cliff of Kongtong mountain, guangchengzi temple on the top and guangchengzi tomb on the bottom."

It is said that Li Er traveled to Hangu pass to pay homage to the scenery of Songshan Mountain in the middle of the mountain, and paid homage to Daoyu in Kongtong mountain. Li Er collected the great achievements of the ancestors of Taoism in this Taoist nunnery, and finished the first draft of Tao Te Ching. "Wuji" and "Wuwei" all originated from ancient Zongxi, the ancestor of Taoism in Kongtong. That is to say, guangchengzi said to the Yellow Emperor, "it's good to ask, come and I talk about women, to the essence of Tao, to embarrassment, to form and to live forever.". Heaven and earth have palaces, and Yin and Yang have hidden parts. If you guard your body carefully, things will be strong. After Li Er's Tao Te Ching came out, people praised him a lot. Because of his longevity, Li Er was praised as Laozi and became the founder of Chinese Taoism. In the past, Li Er still paid homage to the stone in front of Xiaoyao temple. The first draft of Tao Te Ching written by Cao Jie in Daoan temple has been proved by many scholars. At that time, guangchengzi's Taoxiu Laozi's Jidao temple was a historical demonstration.
