Hengshan is located in Hengshan County, Hunan Province. Tianzhu Mountain (also known as Huoshan Mountain) in Qianshan County, Anhui Province was named Nanyue in the Han Dynasty, and Hengshan Mountain was changed to Nanyue in the Sui Dynasty. But in Taoism, Mount Huoshan and Mount Hengshan are paradise for immortals to live and relax. Hengshan stretches for hundreds of miles from Yan Hui Peak in Hengyang in the south to Yuelu Mountain in Changsha in the north. Seventy-two peaks spread their wings, and the main peak Zhu Rongfeng sang with his head held high like a bird's head. From a distance, the momentum is magnificent, and from a close look, it is colorful. Therefore, it is called "Nanyue is as independent as flying". Legend has it that Shennong once collected hundreds of herbs on the mountain and died in Jiangzhenfeng because he tasted nematode poisoning. Hengshan Mountain, with lush vegetation and beautiful scenery, is a resort for immortals to live and practice. During the Han and Wei Dynasties, Wei Huacun, a famous Taoist, successfully practiced and was honored as Mrs. Nanyue. There are Taoist temples in the mountains, such as Nanyue Temple, Huang Ting Temple, Du Xuan Temple and Zhu Rong Temple, which are well protected. Nanyue is a scenic spot where Taoism and Buddhism coexist.

According to historical records, Mount Hengshan is also known as Zen Mountain. "Guangya" said: "The name is Hengshan." The Journey to the West said, "Yu governs the water, ascends it and worships it. Because he dreamed of being a foreign emissary, he got the golden bamboo jade book, which is the key to water control. " Jingzhou Zhi also said: "In the south, there are Hengshan Mountain, Zhu Ling Lingtai and Taixu Treasure Cave, which are interlinked with ghosts, hence the name Hengshan Mountain. Ju Gong, take fire town, hence the name Nanyue. Pavilion Ridge, Zhu Rong Yang, Tang and E, are the house of gods and the fairy room. " Therefore, Taoism calls the 36 holes in Hengshan the "Zhu Ling is too empty"; It is also said that Zhu Rong Mountain Peak in Nanyue is the true altar of twenty-three blessed places, the jade altar of twenty-four blessed places, the Temple of Heaven of twenty-five blessed places and the spiritual source of twenty-six blessed places, all in Hengshan area.

The worship and sacrifice of Mount Hengshan has a very ancient origin. The Book of Books contains Shun Di's southern tour of Hengshan Mountain in May, such as offering sacrifices to Mount Tai as a gift to Nanyue. Later Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Wendi and emperors all followed this ancient system, offering them with big gifts and repeatedly sealing them. For example, in the fifth year of Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (746), the South Vietnamese God was named "Si Tianwang"; Song Zhenzong Dazhong was lucky for four years (10 1 1), with the title of "Si" and the queen of Jingming. In the 28th year of Yuan Shizu Zhiyuan (129 1 year), the imperial edict of "Zhao Huasheng Di, four fields in South Vietnam" was added.

Since the establishment of Taoism, there have been many lofty truths of cultivating Mount Heng and refining peaks. Such as belle, Hua Gaijun, Xu Lingfu, Deng, Wei, Ma Gu, Gou Xiangu, Chen Xingming, Wang, Cai Fashou, Li Fachao, Tian, Xu,,, Zhang Huiming, Ye Fashan, Deng Ziyang, Wu Hanxu, Zhang Taikong, Li Bi and Wu Hanxu. The following focuses on both.

Wei and Jin Dynasties Gaodao Weihua Village, a native of Rencheng, Shandong Province, was the daughter of Situ Shuwei in Jin Dynasty. After sixteen years of seclusion in Nanyue, "Guitai's golden mother, Mrs. Sanyuan, Mrs. Feng and Zhu Ziyang came down to teach jade tricks" (Mrs. Wei's Monument) and got the Interior Classic of the Emperor's Supper, which was immortal in the nine years of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (334 years) and was called Nanyue in the world. Huang Guanting, existing in Nanyue, is the place where Mrs. Wei fixes the truth. It is about 1 km away from Nanyue Temple at the foot of Jixian Peak in Hengshan Mountain. According to Chen Tianfu's "Complete Victory of Nanyue" in Song Dynasty, "Under Tianzhu Peak, Tang Jianguan". During the reign of Qing Qianlong (1736— 1795), it was moved here. On the right of the inscription on the mountain gate "The mountain rises to the top" is "At the foot of Xiexianguan". The main hall, the lobby and the left wing are all brick and wood structures in the Qing Dynasty. There is a flying stone outside the door, also known as Mrs. Wei's flying stone. From Nanyue Town to this point, the roads are flat, the trees are swaying and the scenery is quite good.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Deng Ziyang, a native of Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, entered Nanyue, learned "jade, two altars in broad daylight, and the ceremony of Deng Zhenren", refined into the "Tian Peng Dafa" of the Northern Emperor, and founded the Daoism of the Northern Emperor, which was passed down from generation to generation and was highly respected by Xuanzong, Dezong, Xianzong, Wuzong and Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Old Northern Imperial Palace in Hengshan is the Qiongyu of monasticism. "The Collection of Zongsheng in South Vietnam" said: "In the second half of the right view, the Northern Imperial Court is full of bamboo and pine trees, and the front and back are dense. At the end of Tian Liang Prison, Xu Lian, the female crown, lived there and gained Tao through practice. In the last years of Zhenguan, Zhang Huiming resumed his studies. When Mrs. Ying of Nanyue gave a lecture, he believed in the "135135" method and then conducted an autopsy. There is also Li Simu who lives in it and gains the Tao. "

There are 72 peaks in Hengshan Mountain, such as Zigai Peak, Tianzhu Peak, Furong Peak, Chi Di Peak, Zhu Mingfeng, Xia Yanfeng, Tomi Peak, Gaihua Peak, Paradise Peak, Guanyin Peak, Honghua Peak, Qian Shengfeng, Tiantai Peak, Lotus Peak, Lingyaofeng, huixianfeng, Jiangzhenfeng, Manjusri Peak, Xianyan Peak and Leizu Peak, among which the most important ones are.

Zhurongfeng is the highest peak of Hengshan Mountain. Altitude 1, 290 meters. According to legend, Zhu Rong was buried here in ancient times, hence the name. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the mountains are listed and the scenery is magnificent. Tourists regard the height of Zhu Rong as one of the "Four Wonders" of Nanyue. There is a temple on the top of the mountain called Zhu Rong Temple, also called Old Temple. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1573— 1620), Kaiyuan Temple was built to worship Zhu Rong Vulcan. In the sixteenth year of Qing Qianlong (175 1 year), it was rebuilt with stone walls and iron tiles. Other peaks also contain essence, which is the spiritual realm of Taoist seclusion and cultivation in past dynasties.

There are many temples in the mountains, including Huang Ting Temple, Doumuge Temple, Lvzuge Temple, Congenital Temple, Heng Yue Temple, Kannonji Temple, Nanyue Temple, Dongzhen Temple, Quande Temple, Jingzhen Temple, Doulv Temple, Zhu Ling Temple, Dongzhen Temple, Yongquan Temple, Yuqing Temple, longxing temple Temple, Zixiao Temple, Jiuling Temple, Tian Shu Temple and Zhenjun Temple.

From the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Taoism was keen on alchemy, which is now called Qigong.

Today, the boulder on the right side of the abandoned site of Mituo Temple under the strange peak of Nanyue Mountain is engraved with "Huandan Fu", which explains the way of alchemy a lot, that is, it was written by Taoism in Wei and Jin Dynasties. When Taoism was introduced to the south, alchemy technology and its pharmacy had a far-reaching impact, but Taoist ideology and culture had a deeper impact on people. Taoist Yu Pi, Wang and other so-called "Nine Immortals" came to Nanyue, where they annotated the Tao Te Ching and spread the Neifu Classic, Taishangbao and wuyue Truth, which made Taoist metaphysics and immortals deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, the combination of Fulu's research on divination and taboo with some witchcraft techniques in Chu Yuan has never stopped, and the wind of temple fairs and competitions between gods still exists today. As for the prosperity of shrines and temples, it also started from here. They moved the emperor and were honest with each other, not to mention the believers and the people.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, due to Sima's words, Zhenjun Temple was built in each of the Five Mountains, and the South Vietnamese God was named King Si, and officials were sent to worship. This is the magical power of Taoism. According to Li's Records of Nanyue, there were Taoist temples in Nanyue since the early Jin Dynasty, and they were continuously built in later generations, reaching a peak in the Tang Dynasty, with as many as 28 temples.

In the Tang Dynasty, Taoist Sima Zhen and his disciples Jichang Xue, Wang Xianjue and later Deng Ziyang were called Shi Tian. Sima Chengzhen was named Mr. Baiyun. Later, Taoist Zhang Taixu was awarded the title of Mr. Yuanhe. Taoist Liu, who was named Mr. Guang Cheng and Dr. Yin Lu, was the first Taoist in Nanyue who was really awarded the title of triple rank. Excellent imperial edicts were issued frequently, and officials followed suit. With the support of the government, the influence of Taoism flourished day by day and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. And Taoist culture has penetrated into various fields accordingly.

At this time, the interaction between literati and Taoism is also a major feature of Taoist culture in South Vietnam. In the old records, many poets and celebrities in the Tang Dynasty had contacts with Taoism. For example, when Tang De Prime Minister Li Mi lived in Nanyue in his early years, he taught Taoist Zhang Taixu; Zhao Shu, assistant minister of Tang Jingzong official department, wrote the biography of Mr. Guang Cheng for Liu; Prince Fulu wrote an inscription for Mr. Guangcheng. Han Yu prefaces Shi Ding's couplet poems for Xuanyuan, a Taoist priest in Nanyue. Poets in the Tang Dynasty, such as Chu Guangxi, Cui Tu, Zhang Qiao, Bao Rong, Li Qunyu and Wang Yuan. All of them are Taoist priests or Taoist temples that send poems to Nanyue. Many Taoist priests with high cultural education and profound metaphysical cultivation also wrote books, such as The Story of Hengshan written by Xu Lingfu in the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which was the first monograph on Nanyue. Later, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Taoist Li Chong wrote the famous Record of Nanyue, Song Tianfu wrote the Collection of Great Victory of Nanyue, and Li Ming Chang Gung wrote the Trivial Record. Their writings play an important role in the textual research of the history and culture of South Vietnam (see "Religious Articles and Taoist Articles" in this local chronicle).

By the end of the Han Dynasty, Shi Tian had started religion and fasted 1800 years in the name of virtue and Huang Lao as the religion.

It can be said that the name is really noble and talented; "Nine Truth" and "Four Deficiencies" will go down in history forever. "The Story of South Vietnam" recorded in detail Takashima 109 people, and 23 people were sealed by the emperor.

Taoist culture, rooted in China and spread everywhere, is a wonderful flower of Chinese culture and a common ideological wealth of mankind.

There are not only Han beliefs, but also 22 minority beliefs. It is not only spread in China, but also spread to North Korea, Japan, Vietnam, New Zealand and recently to Europe and America. Since the French edition of Laozi was published in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, various foreign Taoist books have emerged one after another. There are more than 100 English versions of Tao Te Ching alone, and American scholars rated it as "the greatest book translated by China to foreign countries".

Taoist classics are vast, and Taoist culture promotes everything. It has exerted a wide influence on China's philosophy, literature, art, music, medicine, astronomy, metallurgy, chemistry, gardens, architecture, environment and many other aspects, and has also exerted a far-reaching influence on social politics, economy, military and other fields, and has increasingly inspired many disciplines such as modern management, ethics, psychology, ecology, and health preservation.
