History and Humanities

Qingcheng Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain in China and one of the birthplaces of Chinese Taoism. It has experienced more than 2000 years since the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 143 ad, the founder of Taoism, Zhang Ling, came to Qingcheng Mountain, where he selected the deep and secluded jade of Qingcheng Mountain to preach. Qingcheng Mountain became the birthplace of Taoism and was listed as the "fifth cave" by Taoism. The Taoist temples in the whole mountain take the Tianshi cave as the core, including Jianfu palace, Shangqing palace, Zushi palace, Yuanming palace, Laojun Pavilion, Yuqing palace and Chaoyang palace So far, dozens of Taoist temples have been well preserved. A large number of historical relics and modern masterpieces are collected. It can be said that Qingcheng Mountain is a living Taoist "Museum" for thousands of years.

Zhang Daoling, formerly known as Zhang Ling, lived in Sichuan and studied Taoism in Heming mountain. He made a Book of Taoism according to Taiping Jing, claiming to be dictated by the Supreme Master Laojun. According to the primitive religious beliefs of the ethnic minorities in Bashu area, he took Laozi as the leader and Tao Te Ching as the classic. He founded "wudoumi Dao", also known as "Tianshi Dao", which was respected as Tianshi Dao by later generations. It is said that Zhang Daoling, the master of Taoism, appeared in Qingcheng Mountain in his later years and emerged here. Since then, Qingcheng Mountain has become the ancestral mountain of Tianshi Dao. All the Tianshi from all over the country have come to Qingcheng Mountain to worship the ancestral court. After the establishment and development of Zhang Ling and his descendants, Tianshi Dao gradually extended to the whole country. After the Jin Dynasty, Taoism in the mountains gradually flourished. At its peak, there were more than 70 Taoist temples and 108 scenic spots. In Jin and Sui dynasties, Tianshi Dao had the rise of northern Tianshi Dao and southern Tianshi Dao, and the emergence of regional sects. It is said that Qingcheng Mountain belongs to the Zhengyi sect of nantianshidao.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist, came to Qingcheng Mountain. The tradition of Tianshi Taoism was combined with Shangqing Taoism. 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. Du Guangting later became an official under Wang Jian, the former Emperor of Shu. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Shangshu, the Guanglu doctor, and was granted the title of Duke CAI of Zhu state. In his later years, he lived in Qingcheng Mountain for nearly 30 years and wrote books, which had a great influence on the development of Taoism.

In the Ming Dynasty, Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain belonged to the Dragon sect of Quanzhen Taoism. The difference between Quanzhen Taoism and the original tianshizheng Taoism is that it advocates that the monks should become monks, live in nunneries and become Taoists. They don't want to get married or eat meat and fishy food. It creates a set of practice methods to cultivate themselves.

When Taoists lived in the mountains, they naturally paid more attention to the maintenance of the palace and the cultivation of mountain forests. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, wars continued and Taoists fled. In the eighth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Chen qingjue, a Taoist of the Quanzhen Daolong sect of Wudang Mountain, came to Qingcheng Mountain to preside over educational affairs, which changed the situation again. Nowadays, the Taoist tradition of Qingcheng Mountain belongs to the dantaibidong sect of the Longmen sect of Quanzhen Taoism.
