history

Yuntai Mountain, Anju Township, Santai County, Sichuan Province. Founded in the second year of Kaixi (1206) of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao faying, nicknamed xiao'an, was also known as Zhao Xiaoan.

In 1210, Zhao Xiaoan and his disciples raised money to build a hall called Xuantian palace. Iron statues of Zhenwu gods were worshipped in the palace. Through the song and Yuan Dynasties, incense continued. ① The Ming Dynasty was the prosperous period of Yuntai view. On the ninth day of September in the 11th year of Yongle (1413), Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, who was granted the title of vassal of Sichuan, sent Chengfeng Changli to build the Yuntai guangongchen tower and rebuild the main hall. In the fifth year of Tianshun (1461), Xie yingxuan and he Xuancheng, the abbots of Yuntai temple, raised money to rebuild the Gongchen building destroyed by the war. In the second year of Chenghua (1466), the palace of King Shu built glazed tiles for Yuntai temple. In the early years of Longqing (1567-1572), the palace was rebuilt with glazed tiles. In the tenth year of Zhengde (1515), Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty sent his officials to build a statue of the Jade Emperor, a curtain furnace, and a flower and Jue lamp to pay homage to the Yuntai temple. He built a jade seal terrace under the terrace and an octagonal tower on the terrace, which was named "Tianyi Pavilion". In the 16th year of Wanli (1588), the shuwangfu granted jinchuangshihemen three times.

In the 32nd year of Wanli, the fire broke out in Yuntai temple, and the Tianyi Pavilion and two corridors were destroyed. Shenzong sent a eunuch to supervise the restoration. According to Wan'an of the Ming Dynasty's stele of rebuilding Yuntai temple, the temple was built more than ten times in the Ming Dynasty. Because of its magnificent and large scale, Guo Yuanhan's Yuntai Shengji highly praised its magnificence. ② In the Ming Dynasty, the Shu King's mansion and the Ming emperor's royal family sent people to Yuntai for many times. In the 15th year of Zhengde (1520), Emperor Wuzong bestowed the green flag with the eight characters of "Emperor Ming, happy to give up the treasure flag", which was hung in the temple.

In the 27th year of Wanli (1599), Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty granted Yuntaiguan a copy of orthodox daocang and issued an edict. ③ The remaining Taoist Scriptures were handed over to Sichuan University in 1940s and preserved till now.

In 1669, Chen qingjue came to Qingcheng Mountain from Wudang Mountain to spread the whole Zhenlong sect. He joined Zhang Qingyun, the abbot of Yuntai temple, who was one of the five Taoist friends of Chen family. Since then, Yuntai temple has become a jungle for his descendants. ④ In 1886, the fire destroyed the front hall and Gongchen building. The gentry of Santai and the surrounding eight counties donated money to cultivate and repair. The front hall and Gongchen building were rebuilt into the hall of subduing demons.
