Dalao Palace

It is said that during the spring and Autumn period, Jie Zhitui once saw here the highest Taoist realm of "Dalao fairyland", which is "on the Sanqing Dynasty, there is Yujing mountain, and on the mountain there are seven treasure trees covering all the eight Luotian, which is called" Dalao ". It is also said that the younger sister of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once practiced Taoism in the Dalao palace and was restored in the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After repairing from generation to generation, the Dalao palace has become the largest Taoist palace in China, known as "the first Taoist temple in the world". Later, because of the war, only the remains of the Dalao palace were left. The Dalao palace was rebuilt on the original site. It is an antique building with three bright and three dark stories and four or seven stories built on the mountain. It is more than 110 meters high and is the largest Taoist building complex in China.

The Scripture of Ethics

The inscription of Tao Te Ching is a wonderful book. The book is composed of 9981 chapters and 5000 words. The content is profound and broad. It constructs a grand framework of simple, natural, open-minded and magnanimous world outlook, outlook on life and methodology. It is not only praised by Chinese scholars, but also respected by western scholars. Tao Te Ching is one of the thirty books in the great collection of world literature published in the United States. Mao Zedong has a thorough study and grasp of Chinese traditional culture, which is inseparable from the shining thought of absorbing Tao Te Ching. Mao Zedong's anthology quoted Tao Te Ching many times. Tian Chengping, Secretary of the Shanxi provincial Party committee of the Communist Party of China, visited Mianshan in May 2000 and presented a hundred letters of Daodejing, including the last works of Zhao Puchu, Dong Shouping and other masters. The book, published in 1995, is a woodblock engraving watermark and folding binding in rongbaozhai, Beijing. It's precious to print only 1000 copies.

Lion mountain

Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and taishanglaojun often sat together on Mianshan mountain to discuss Taoism. Some people in the Tang Dynasty saw the two old men sitting on the mountain in white and black, talking with each other. When they approached, they suddenly disappeared, only to see two auspicious clouds, white and black, floating in the sky. During the dialogue between the two immortals, Manjusri's Mount lion squatted on the mountain, so the mountain was like a crouching lion.

Hall of God of wealth

In the middle of the hall are the gods of Wu, Zhao Gongming, Wen, Bigan and Fan Li. On the left and right are Li Shi Xian Guan and Zhao Cai Tong Zi. The God of wealth, Wu, sits on the throne of Yuanbao, holding Yuanbao in his left hand and latte whip in his right hand; the two God of wealth, Wen, one embraces Ruyi, the other holds jewelry.

Tianzun Hall

During the Three Kingdoms period, the heroes fought against each other for years, and primitive ghosts also took the opportunity to haunt the world and harass the people. When Tianzun learned that the ghost was doing mischief, he waved the dust in his hand to disperse the ghost. Bai Xing looked up and saw 19 green lions carrying the salvation God. Then he saw an immortal wearing an official hat leading 18 generals to collect ghosts. It turned out that Taiyi rescued kutianzun and led the City God and the eighteen Yinsi to go out. Then the people spontaneously donated money to build the Tianzun hall. Since then, there has been a saying that the City God went on three tours to govern the ghosts and make the people peaceful.

There are nine green lions sitting in the center, which are called "Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun", with five leading boys on both sides. It's said that there are thousands of requests for help from heaven. They come to save the suffering. So they are also called "the God of seeking sound to save the suffering". He has the magic power to light up the netherworld, pass over the souls of the dead, and free them from their sins. On the right side of the wall is the scene of kutianzun rescuing the patient. The master of Nezha in the classic Fengshen romance is Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun. The five party boy holds the "five color banner", which means to lead all sentient beings in the five party world.
