This cave is secluded, quiet and quiet, backed by mountains and rivers, and has always been a place for Taoists to devote themselves to practice and elucidate. In the seventh year of Jin Dading (1167), Wang Chongyang, a Taoist priest in Xianyang, traveled eastward from Nanshan Mountain, preached in Yanxia Cave, and gathered seven disciples, such as Qizhenren in the hill. With this as the center, he preached in Ninghai (Mouping), Wendeng and Laizhou, and founded a new sect of Taoism, Quanzhen Sect. Yanxia Cave became the "heaven and earth" of the founding sect. Qi Chuji is the most famous of the "Seven True Persons". He was honored as "immortal" by Genghis Khan, the grandfather of the Yuan Dynasty. He became a master of Taoism in the whole country and made Quanzhen religion prevail throughout the country. Yanxia Cave, the ancestral court of Quanzhen religion, has an important position in Chinese history and is the sacred place of Taoism in China. Nowadays, the stone statues, bronze tablets, imperial edict tablets, Danjing and Qizhen tombs in Jinyong Wudao TV series "Heroes of Shooting and Carving" are well protected.

Yue Gu Dian

Yue Gu Dian was originally Magu Dian, which is said to be the place where Jianchang Magu practiced. Ma Gu is a goddess in Ge Hong's Immortal Biography of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The book says that when Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty was called by Wang Fangping, Ma Gu came to visit Cai Jing's family. Cai Jing saw that she was very beautiful. She was only eighteen or nineteen years old and could throw rice into pearls. She recounts that she has seen the vicissitudes of the sea three times, which shows that she is hundreds of millions of years old. She said that when she came here, she saw that the water in Penglai was shallower than in the old days. She also said, "March 3 is the birthday of the Queen Mother, Ma Gu is on the Bank of the Jiangzhu River, making wine with Ganoderma lucidum to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother." In the Tang Dynasty, Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher, set up a monument for his biography. During the Five Dynasties, there were miracles such as Magu Tomb in Kunyu Mountain. In the Six Years of the Northern Song Dynasty (1116), Emperor Huizong ordered Magu to be "a real man in vain" and set up a monument. Since then, Ma Nu has been highly worshipped by the local people and used her as a symbol of longevity, fitness, intelligence, integrity and purity. After Magu attained Tao and became immortal, Jin Dading, Bixia Yuanjun, the daughter of Dongyue earth, the God of Mount Tai, moved in from Mount Tai because of its immortal spirit when he visited Kunyu Mountain in the east. Then we built 72 temples such as Yuegu Hall and 108 temples. Existing sites and stele forest were chiseled. Magu Temple, Sanguan Hall, Caishen Hall and Yueliao Temple were newly restored. There are also scenic spots such as Magu Tomb, Kunyun Diecui, Huaquan, Bixia Pavilion, Yuegu Hall and so on.

History and Humanities

Kunyu Mountain is not only a famous Taoist mountain, a famous cultural mountain, a famous historical mountain, but also a revolutionary cradle of Jiaodong.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, he visited Kunyu Mountain, the sacred place of Xianshan Mountain, three times to seek the medicine of immortality; Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty was once sealed up as King of Jiaodong, whose territory is Kunyu Mountain area of the present Jiaodong Peninsula, so he visited Kunyu Mountain to pray for immortals many times after taking office; in the late Northern Song Dynasty, in order to save the political situation of internal and external difficulties, Emperor Huizong of Song paid tribute to immortals everywhere and blindly appealed to Heaven for help. At that time, the "Magu Daxian" in Kunyu Mountain was very famous. Huizong immediately issued an edict to seal Magu as a "fabulous real person" and set up a monument in Kunyu Mountain. Magu immediately became a Taoist immortal respected by the whole world; and Jin Yuan, Wang Chongyang Yun, a famous scholar in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, visited this place and found that it was a place of affection for immortals to preach Taoism, and established the Quanzhen School of Taoism. Mountain became a famous Taoist mountain in China.
