Mount Wudang is a World Heritage Site and one of China's 5A attractions. It is the birthplace of Chinese Taoism and Wudang martial arts since the Tang Dynasty.
Mount Wudang was the only way I climbed it on foot, without the help of public ****cars, ropeways and other means of transportation. It's not very high, with the main peak Tianzhu Peak at 1,612 meters, but it's no less famous - it's one of China's top 10 most popular attractions, along with the Great Wall and Lijiang. Why is it called "the world's first fairy mountain"?
Mount Wudang is a native Taoist shrine and a favorite place for literati and monarchs throughout the ages, also known as Xianlu Mountain, Taihe Mountain, and Dayue ....... We all know that in ancient times, from the monarchs to the people, none of them held in high esteem the seeking of immortality, and Taoism was the carrier of the body of the immortals. They lived in seclusion in the mountains and practiced alchemy. As early as the end of the Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, Wudang Mountain was the gathering place of many immortals. Legend has it that among the Eight Immortals, Lu Dongbin and Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect, lived forever here. They were both flamboyant and graceful, and one can't help but believe in the immortality of Wudang Mountain.
When I went to Wudang Mountain, the sun was hidden in the clouds, and the mountainside was surrounded by clouds, verdant forests, drifting clouds and shadows, and towering ancient buildings, forming a wonderland of the world, which suddenly made me feel that they were tall and were going to live forever.
Wudang Mountain has a long history and many legends that accompany it. During the Ming Dynasty, it was favored by the Zhu Dynasty and supported by the "Imperial Family Temple". The status of Wudang Mountain was elevated to "the first immortal mountain in the world". Wudang Mountain has many peaks, many rocks, many streams, and many caves, which reflect and complement each other, creating a heavenly atmosphere." Indeed, the world's first immortal mountain is just that.
Wudang Mountain is 400 kilometers in circumference, while Tianzhu Peak is the first of the 72 peaks, at 1,612 meters above sea level. It is the birthplace of Wudang martial arts and is known as ? the unrivaled victory in ancient times, the first immortal mountain in the world? It is also known as the first immortal mountain in the world. The Xuanwu Gate (stone pagoda) on the bank of Danjiangkou Reservoir is engraved with the four words 'Ruling Xuanyue' in the imperial pen of Emperor Jiajing of Ming Dynasty? One kilometer west of Xuanyue Gate, there is a Yuzhen Palace built in the 15th year of the Yongle reign of Ming Zhenzu (1417) in honor of Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang Quan. At the top of Tianzhu Mountain is the Golden Temple built in 1416. It is the most famous Taoist complex in Wudang Mountain and the largest surviving copper complex in China. The hall is 5.54 meters high, 5.8 meters wide, 4.2 meters deep and weighs more than 80 tons. On both sides also stand bronze cast gold boys, jade maidens and water and fire generals, which is very spectacular.
