Laoshan Taoist Taiqing Palace

Among Taoist temples in Laoshan Mountain, Taiqing Palace has the longest history, the best land occupation, the largest scale, the most Taoist people and the deepest influence. Located at the foot of Laojun Peak in Laoshan Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side, it has beautiful scenery. According to Taiqing Palace Records, the first year of the establishment of the Western Han and Yuan Dynasties was founded by Zhang Lianfu, the capital of Ruizhou, Jiangxi. Zhang studied medicine, but influenced by it, he abandoned medicine and joined literature. In Guimao, a temple was built to worship Sanqing God and renamed "Taiqing Palace". Liu was a disciple of the Committee in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, continued his temple work and returned to Sanyuan Palace in Jiangxi. Later, I came to Laoshan many times and visited the scenic spots in the East China Sea.

In the first year of Tang Tianyou, Li Zhe, a Taoist priest from Henan Province, visited Laoshan Mountain in Dong Xuan and entered Taiqing Palace. He befriended Zhang Daochong and built a temple dedicated to Huang San, named "Huang San Temple". Legend has it that on Wednesday, May, Taoist Li was in the capital. When there was no rain during the drought, the epidemic was prevalent, and Li went to treat the disease, so he was named "the imperial doctor". He was praised by the ruling and opposition parties. When he heard about this, he ordered him to ask for rain. Powdery popularized real people and sent envoys back to the palace.

In the second year of Tongguang in the later Tang Dynasty, Taoist Liu Ruozhuo came from Sichuan to visit Li Zhexuan in the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan and had a tacit conversation. He taught himself a temple called "Drive the Tiger", dedicated to the icon of Laozi, and sneaked into middle school. In the second year of Song Dynasty, Tan Xuan was invited to be competent and was named a real person. Later, he returned to the mountain to rebuild the Taiqing Palace. Scholars from all over the world rushed to hear the news, and indeed they chose more than 10 disciples to teach pottery. Later, Gai Hua traveled for many years and returned to Taiqing Palace for a retreat.

In the sixth year of Jin Zhangzong Changming, Taoist priests Qiu Changchun, Liu Changsheng and their other disciples, known as the seven truths, came to Laoshan from Kunyu Mountain in Ninghai, stopped at Taiqing Palace, preached the truth, expounded morality, made everyone realize, and everyone was punished. Qiu didn't stay long, so he left 2 1 poem and set off for the west. Liu Changsheng stayed to explain the classics. A few years later, he went to Xu Ling Temple in Laizhou. Since then, the Taoist priests of the Qing Palace have returned to Suishan School in Liu Changsheng.

Laoshan Taiqing Palace has a history of more than 2,000 years since Evonne, and it has been the ancestral home of Quanzhen Mountain School of Taoism for more than 700 years. The Taiqing Palace consists of 147 rooms, including three main halls, four affiliated halls, an old people's courtyard and guest rooms, forming a medium-sized ancient architectural complex. Namely: Sanqing Hall is mainly dedicated to the Buddha of the Yuan Dynasty, the Buddha of Lingbao and the Buddha of Morality; Donghua Hall is mainly dedicated to Donghua Emperor; The Queen Mother Temple is mainly dedicated to the Queen Mother of the West; The Three Emperors Hall is mainly dedicated to Emperor Shennong, Emperor Fuyi and Emperor Xuanyuan. The three palaces mainly worship the emperor of the three palaces; Gengzhenren Temple is mainly dedicated to Gengzhenren and helps them. The Hall of Salvation is mainly dedicated to Emperor Fu You (Lv Dongbin).

In the first year of Jin Daan, Qiu Changchun returned to my palace from Jiaoxi, explained his teaching for several years, and left ten poems engraved on the boulder behind the Sanqing Hall of my palace. At this time, Genghis Khan, the great ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, heard that Qiu Changchun knew how to maintain health and practice, and sent two messengers, Zabal and Liu Zhonglu, to invite him. Qiu Ying was ordered to lead 18 disciples to climb the snow-capped mountains and meet Genghis Khan in the western expedition camp. According to the records in the Biography of Shilao in the Yuan Dynasty and Tao's Record of Dropping out of Farming in the Ming Dynasty, "If you want to win the world, you must care about not killing people and seeking treatment. If you respect heaven and love the people and seek a long life, you will have a clear heart and no desire. " After the summons, Ali Xianguifei was summoned and escorted back to the East Palace. Rune for Hu Jin, in charge of the world religion. This "imperial decree" is engraved on the east and west walls of the Three Emperors Hall, and it still exists today.

During the period from Yuan Dynasty to Shunzhi, Zhang Sanfeng, a descendant of Shi Tian from Longhushan, Jiangxi Province, came to Laoshan for diving for several years for the second time. The stone pagoda on the left side of Laoshan Mountain is called Sanfeng Pagoda, and there is a hole at the bottom of the pagoda called Xianku, which is the retreat of Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang left many "immortal traces" in Laoshan Mountain and wrote Xun. In the 13th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, due to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, all the inscriptions in Taiqing Palace were thrown into the sea, and Taiqing Palace was changed to Haiyin Temple. After that, Geng Yilan, a Taoist who lived in seclusion in Huangshi Palace in Laoshan Mountain, fought for control. In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, he was able to return to the palace to preach Tibetan scriptures, and Geng Yilan was appointed as a real-life teaching assistant.

In the 15th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, the German invaders forcibly leased JIAOZHOU Bay. 19 14 years, the Japanese invaders captured Qingdao, and Laoshan was under the rule of the Japanese invaders. 1937, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out. The reactionary Kuomintang government retreated hastily before the Japanese army arrived. In the name of the Anti-Japanese War, the reactionary Kuomintang troops sneaked into Laoshan, extorted money and killed Taoist priests at will. In addition, the Japanese invaders continued to harass the mountainous areas, wantonly burning scenic spots and temples, and all the trees on the mountains were cut down. In the past eight years, Laoshan Mountain has suffered unprecedented damage.

1949 Qingdao was liberated and Laoshan returned to the people's arms. Taoists in Taiqing Palace enjoy full freedom of religious belief. During the days when Lin Biao and the Gang of Four were rampant, the policies of the Party and the government on freedom of religious belief and protection of cultural relics were undermined. Taiqing Palace was ransacked, cultural relics that had been treasured for thousands of years were burned, statues were smashed, and places of interest were completely destroyed. Fortunately, the Qingdao Municipal Committee moved the Ming Wanli Imperial Collection to other places before it was preserved. The house in the temple is also very good.

After the downfall of the Gang of Four, the government reaffirmed the policy of freedom of religious belief and protection of cultural relics, and decided to restore the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan. With the great assistance of the Party and the government, the close cooperation of the Urban Construction Bureau and the support of people from all walks of life, the restoration of 147 temples was completed in less than one year, including 26 large and small colored statues and two large murals. The memorial service, memorial service, shrine, slow account, etc. in the hall are all newly renovated, restoring the original historical appearance of Taiqing Palace. In this construction project, I especially noticed that Taoism is an inherent religion of the Han nationality in China, so it emphasized historicity and nationality in architectural structure, hall layout and image building. At the same time, the handwriting of stone carvings left by historical celebrities has also been sorted out and restored, and all of them have been opened to the outside world.
