Is Qingcheng Mountain fun? The more vivid the legend, the better.

Mars and Liang Zaiyu wrote "Yi Zhou Ji", saying, "Mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, and there is a fairy capital on it". Taiping Yulan in Song Dynasty quoted the ancient book Jade Room Classic as saying: "The Yellow Emperor was named the father of wuyue, the eldest of Du Yue, and the rank of true fairy. Within a month, the group of Yuechao rose again and sprinkled springs at six o'clock to make up for the leak. A Chicheng, a Qingcheng capital, an ancient Tianshan Mountain and the fifth cave, Baoxian and nine rooms. In the northwest of the county, in the Shan Zhinan, the peaks are connected by shadows, and the fairy house is more auspicious. " The fairy capital named "Wuyue Zhangren" selected by Lingxian County is Qingcheng Mountain, which is located at 0/5km southwest of Dujiangyan City (formerly guanxian) in Sichuan and 68km away from Chengdu. According to historical records, the elevation of the main peak of Qingcheng Mountain is more than 1.800 meters, and there are manna grass and Tianchi Liquan around 50 miles.

Qingcheng Mountain has many titles in history. It was called Qingcheng Mansion and Zhangrenshan in the pre-Qin Dynasty, Dushan in the Qin Dynasty, Wenshan or Ancient Tianshan in the Three Kingdoms Period, Qingcheng Mountain in the Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Qingcheng Mountain until Kaiyuan eighteen years ago. As for the name of "Zhang Renshan", there is also a story related to immortals, which is contained in Volume 79 of Seven Clouds written by Zhang Junfang in the Song Dynasty. During the period of the Yellow Emperor, he came to Qingcheng Mountain to seek advice from the immortal Ningfeng because he could not win the battle with Chiyou in the north. Ning Feng taught the Yellow Emperor the art of flying with dragons. Later, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou and unified the Chinese nation. In order to express his gratitude to Ning Feng, the Yellow Emperor named Ning as wuyue's father-in-law, and Qingcheng Mountain where he lived was also called "Father-in-law Mountain". Nowadays, Ningqiao and Longyinxia plank road on Qingcheng Mountain are the remains of this legend.

So why is it called "Qingcheng Mountain"? One saying is that Qingcheng Mountain is lush with trees, like a green castle, hence the name "Qingcheng Mountain". Another way of saying it is that "Qingcheng Mountain" was originally called "Qingcheng Mountain", and there are three water spots beside the green word. This is because the ancients thought that "Du Qing and Wei Zi were the places where the Heaven Emperor lived", that is, the places where the immortals lived, hence the name "Qingcheng Mountain". In the Tang Dynasty, there was a dispute over the territory of Buddhism and Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote a letter to "return the Taoist temple outside the mountain". In the imperial edict, the word "Qing" in Qingcheng Mountain was written as "Qing" without water, and from then on "Qingcheng Mountain" was renamed "Qingcheng Mountain". Regarding this incident, we can see the well-preserved imperial edicts on the Tang tablet.

Since Qingcheng Mountain is a fairy capital, of course there are immortals. There used to be an endless stream of people practicing immortality here.

According to Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Ling first lived in seclusion in Hemingshan, Sichuan, and then preached in Taishang Laojun. He Mingshan is connected with Qingcheng Mountain, where Zhang Ling once preached. During this period, he went to Songshan and finally became immortal, named Zhang Tianshi. After that, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were,, Fan Changsheng, Yang and others who came to Qingcheng Mountain to practice.

In Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals, Ali, a Sichuanese, is said to have lived for a long time, but he has not seen aging. During the reign of Wu, he often begged in the streets of Chengdu. Once he got something, he immediately gave it to the poor. He leaves Chengdu every night and comes back in the morning. People don't know where he lives. If you want to ask Ali something, Ali never answers directly, but if you watch his expression carefully, you will know the answer. If there is a smile on Li's face, then this question must be auspicious; If Li's face is sad, then this question must be dangerous; If Ali laughs, it must be a happy event; If Ali sighs lightly, there must be something deeply worrying. People ask a good and bad things in this way, and it always works. A man named Gu Qiang thinks that Li Aken is not mortal, so he often takes care of Ali and follows him home. Only then did he know that Ali lived in Qingcheng Mountain. When Gu Qiang was eighteen, he met Li A in his fifties. When Gu Qiang was in his eighties, he was still fifty years old, and he didn't change at all. Later, Ali said that the gods of Kunlun Mountain called him to go at once, so Ali entered Kunlun Mountain and never came back.

After Ali, Chen Xun entered Qingcheng Mountain to practice Taoism. In the Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng followed the immortal horse to practice in Wudang Mountain, then gained the Tao in Qingcheng Mountain and became an immortal. The most famous Taoist in Qingcheng Mountain in Jin Dynasty was Fan Changsheng, who later became an immortal here. During the Sui Dynasty, Zhao Yu and his brother Zhao Mian lived in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain, under the guidance of Taoist Li Jue. Yang Di knew his virtue and recruited him as an official. Zhao Yu couldn't refuse, so he had to be the historical satrap. During his tenure, he once went into the water to kill dragons, and people thought he was a man of God. In the troubled times at the end of Sui Dynasty, Zhao Yu disappeared again and disappeared. Ke Wang, Xue Chang and Liu Wuming, Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty, all practiced in Qingcheng Mountain. It is worth mentioning that Du Guangting, a practitioner in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, practiced in Baiyun Stream of Qingcheng Mountain for many years. At the same time, he also wrote five volumes of Biography of Immortals, six volumes of Immortals in Yucheng, and one volume of Famous Mountains in Elysium, which left precious materials for future generations such as China's ancient immortals and cultivation stories. The famous eminent monks in Song Dynasty include Huang Fu Shi 'an, Gu Zangyong, Zhang Sui and Xu Wuji, all of whom have traces of spiritual practice. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, there were few records of people practicing Buddhism in Qingcheng Mountain. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, most Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain fled because of the war. Later, Taoist priests from Wudang Mountain came to Qingcheng Mountain to practice, and Chen Qingjie was the most famous one.

Most of the early Taoist mountain people lived in caves, or built huts beside caves, "putting earthen altars and wearing thatched huts". There are temples in Qingcheng Mountain in Jin Dynasty, including Dong Tian Temple, Shangqing Palace, Huang Shang Temple and Robbie Temple (later called Changsheng Palace). At present, there are statues of Taishang Laojun, the founder of Chunyang and Zhang Sanfeng in the Laojun Hall in the main hall of Shangqing Palace. Laojunmiao base is 400 square meters wide and consists of six floors. The bottom is round, which means the sky is round; There is an octagon on the floor to indicate gossip; The appearance is tower-shaped, and the top is connected with three round treasures to show the meaning of heaven and earth. Its left annex is dedicated to Confucius and Guan Yu, and there is a Magu Pool at the lower left of the main hall. The water in the pool does not dry up all year round, and it is said that it is the place where the fairy Magu bathes Dan. Not far behind the palace, there is an echo pavilion on Pengzufeng, the first peak of Qingcheng Mountain. When you climb high, all the mountains should respond.

During the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, a large number of temples were built in Qingcheng Mountain. There were Taoist temples in Sui Dynasty and Fu Jian Palace, Jinhua Palace, Chongmiao Temple, Du Xuan Temple and Tang Fu Temple in Tang Dynasty. Long Island Temple, also known as Shi Tian Cave, is said to be the place where Zhang Ling preached. There are also Huangdi Temple and Sanhuang Hall, which are dedicated to Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi. There is a cave on the top of Houhunyuan, which is said to be a place of practice, commonly known as the cave. There are three island stones in the east of Shi Tian Cave. The huge stones stand tall and there are two cracks in the stones, hence the name. According to folklore, Zhang Tianshi saw this stone when he was demonized, so he pulled out his sword, split it into three sections, and carved the word "demonized" on the stone. On the west side of Shi Tian Cave, there is a pen throwing trough, which is a valley more than 60 meters deep. According to folklore, Zhang Tianshi threw a pen as a symbol when he was enchanted. "The True Shape Map of Five Mountains" says: "There is an oath stone beside the mountain, and Zhang Daoling, the heavenly teacher, swears with the ghost soldiers, while Zhu Bi paints a mountain, which is absolutely impossible. Today, at the inspection site, the stone is red, more than 20 feet wide and six or seven feet deep. " According to the Records of the Golden Flower Palace in Qingcheng Mountain, the Golden Flower Palace was originally converted from the imperial scenery (one scene) of the Jin Dynasty, where Nu Wa and Princess Jinhua once lived as temples. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, most of the temples built in the past lacked the maintenance of the Ming Dynasty, except the Yuanming Palace and Shangyuan Palace, which were rebuilt in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, Changdao Temple, Changsheng Temple, Zushi Temple (also known as Dong Tian Temple), Shangqing Palace and Fu Jian Palace were rebuilt and repaired. Among them, the 394-word couplets hanging on the pillars of Fu Jian Palace are a must for Qingcheng. The ancestral hall is dedicated to Zhenwu Emperor and Zhang Sanfeng. There are historical sites such as bathing Dan well and reading platform in the hall. Yudanjing is a relic left by Taoist Xue Changju in the seventh year of Tang Tianbao (748).

In Tang Dynasty, Li Shunxian praised Qingcheng Mountain in the poem "Walking with the Driving";

Because of eight horses, Fairy Mountain,

Dust and images are idle.

I'm afraid I'll catch up with the queen mother's party,

But I'm worried about getting the world.
