Fuxing Guan, the holy place of Quanzhen Dao, the mainstream of world Taoism. Located on the top of the scenic Jade Emperor Mountain in Hangzhou, it has a long history and is a famous Taoist temple in the south of the Yangtze River. Located on the top of Jade Emperor Mountain between West Lake and Qiantang River. Originally known as the Jade Emperor Palace, it is now converted into a courtyard. There are still monuments such as the Heavenly Pond and the White Jade Toad Well remaining on the mountain. On the mountainside, there is the Zilai Cave, where the Eight Immortals meet. Standing in front of the cave, you can look down on the Bagua field below the mountain (for the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor sacrificed to the first farmers personally plowed the field). Fuxingguan, according to the Qing Dynasty's Zhuo Bingsen's Jade Emperor Mountain Temple Records, is said to have been built in the Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan Period (713-741), and was first called the Jade Dragon Taoist Temple, which has a long history of more than 1,300 years. The book records that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (712-756), there was an old man who went up the mountain to pick flowers and met a man who, when asked, said, "Special Dynasty Three Qing Taoist Ancestors". He instantly took off in the air. A rumor, the old man will open the mountain to start building the Yulong Taoist Temple. Inside the hospital built Dalaoboden, enshrining the Three Qing Three Treasures of the three days of the Godfather. This shows that Yulong Taoist Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. Soon after, it was rumored that Lu Dongbin, a famous Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, also visited the Yulong Taoist Temple and wrote a poem:
Seven treasures in solemnity and five-color dan, six passes, four out of the dust.
The gods and goddesses can tell us what it's like, but when we meet someone who has the right destiny, our mouths will open with smiles.
Since then, every dynasty has had famous Taoists come here to practice or get scriptures. According to Hangzhou Jade Emperor Mountain Records, it is said that Liu Haichan, a famous Taoist in the fifth generation, came here and faced the wall for nine years, and left four lines in the gatha:
"The vacuum of the Senate does not last forever, and the mother is me, and I am the mother.
Without being the master of one, the message of mystery is endless."
