Main Landscape of Wudang Mountain in South China

Wudang Mountain in the south of China, according to the inscription on the mountain, Xuandi Hall had been built on the top of the mountain before the Song Dynasty, and there were still temple sites on the mountainside.

When the sun is shining, the rocks stand tall and full of masculinity. Peak dusk, like the morning bell, Sanskrit agarwood, people linger, tacky.

Taoism was created by China and unique to China, with a unique cultural background. Xuanwu first entered the Taoist system with the worship of the "four elephants" and served as the northern god among the four guardians. Because the Arctic Taiyi Ziwei Yuan occupies a high position in China's traditional beliefs, Taoism has long established the Arctic Ziwei Yuan Di, which is in charge of natural latitude, moon, stars and four seasons. Gong Bei Xuanwu, as the northern star god, was brought into the gods system of the Arctic emperor Wei Zi about five dynasties ago, and gradually separated from the four images system, becoming one of the four gods of the Emperor Wei Zi. "Wudang" means "it is not enough to be a Xuanwu", hence the name. Wudang Mountain, there must be Xuanwu Hall. Xuanwu is also in charge of the seven North Pole stars.

In order to mediate the case, the local government set up seven stone piers in the middle of the river.
