Weizi scenic spot in Chengdu

When we mention the famous mountains and rivers in China, we will subconsciously think of the Five Mountains.

It is the product of China ancient folk worship of mountain gods, the theory of five elements and the emperor's meditation. Most of them have profound cultural background and beautiful natural scenery, and are known as the famous Taoist mountains in China.

However, there is also a mountain called "Gonggong" of the Five Mountains in China, which is located in Sichuan, only 63.3 kilometers away from Chengdu, the provincial capital. Do you know which mountain it is?

There are also many famous mountains around Chengdu, such as Xiling Snow Mountain, Tiantai Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain. This "father-in-law" of Wuyue is called Qingcheng Mountain, and even known as the "first" famous mountain in Sichuan. Why is Qingcheng Mountain called wuyue's "father-in-law"?

Nowadays, when you generally mention Qingcheng Mountain, you will think of the word "secluded". It is true that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the seasons are evergreen. Walking in it will only make you feel quiet, but Qingcheng Mountain is a famous mountain with a long history besides its natural scenery.

The history of Qingcheng Mountain can be traced back to Xuanyuan Huangdi period. It is said that there lived a Taoist named Ning Fengzi in Qingcheng Mountain at that time. He once taught the Yellow Emperor "the art of Yue Long", so he built an altar to worship Ning Fengzi as "the father of the Five Mountains". This mountain is also called Father-in-law Mountain, and it is also commemorated by the view of father-in-law.

However, it was Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty who really made Qingcheng Mountain a famous Taoist mountain. He preached here and founded Taoism, a local religion in China. Qingcheng Mountain has become the first of the four famous Taoist mountains in China. After the development of past dynasties, there are many temples on the mountain, and there are countless famous Taoist priests, such as Du Guangting.

There is another story about the name Qingcheng Mountain:

One saying is that the mountains are green and green, like battlements, hence the name Qingcheng Mountain. There is also a saying that it was named Qingcheng Mountain, because the ancients thought that "Du Qing" and "Wei Zi" were the places where the Emperor of Heaven lived. However, in the Tang dynasty, there was a dispute over the site on the mountain. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Taoist temple is located outside the mountain" and wrote Qingcheng Mountain as "Qingcheng Mountain", which was called "Qingcheng Mountain" from now on.
