This quiet place is the origin of Taoism, which has given birth to the profundity of Taoist culture for thousands of years.
How Qingcheng Mountain became the birthplace of Taoism
Mount Qingcheng was not the birthplace of Taoism from the beginning, it was originally the place where the primitive witch cult of the Qiang Ghost Clan, the Ghost Sect, was active. The Qiang Ghost Clan has a long tradition of immortality and the pursuit of the ideal of immortality.
After Zhang Ling came to Qingcheng Mountain, he combined the study of Huang Laozhi with ghost teachings according to the primitive religious beliefs of the ethnic minorities in the Bashu region and created the Wudou Rice Dao, also known as the "Heavenly Master Dao".

The Taoist books created by Zhang Ling were deeply recognized by people, and later after continuous improvement and development, Taoism was widely circulated. As a result, Mount Qingcheng became the birthplace of Taoism in China.
In the process of establishing Daozhi, Zhang Ling used the Dao Dao to influence the witchcraft of the ethnic minorities in Shu and laid the foundation for the spread of Taoism in Mount Qingcheng.
In his later years, the Taoist Celestial Master Zhang Daoling manifested the Tao at Mount Qingcheng and feathered it there, after which Mount Qingcheng became the ancestral mountain of the Heavenly Master Dao.
The name of Mount Qingcheng
The name of Qingcheng Mountain is quite meaningful, "Qing" refers to the color, "City" refers to the form, in addition, Qingcheng Mountain has many names in history:
In the two Jin Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Kaiyuan years, it was called "Qingcheng Mountain";
During the Two Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms, it was called "Wen Mountain" and "Tiangu Mountain";
There are also names such as "Akagi Mountain" and "Kiyojo Capital"
Today's "Qingcheng Mountain" has two sources:
First, Qingcheng Mountain has evergreen trees all year round, green as ever, known as "Qing" Mountain, thirty-six peaks are arranged in a ring, the peaks are steep and steep, like a city, so it has the name of "City" Mountain, so it is called Qingcheng Mountain.
Second, according to historical research, in the eighteenth year of Tang Kaiyuan (730 AD), when Buddhism was prevalent, there was a dispute with the native Taoism, and the monks of the Feiyue Temple on Mount Qingcheng and the Taoist Taoists competed for this treasure land, and the Taoist "Immortal Metropolis" disputed.
Later, the lawsuit alarmed the emperor, and the Tang Emperor believed in the Taoism and his original surname was Li, who had the same surname as the Taoist god LaoZi Li'er, so he personally issued an edict to return to Taoism on Mount Qingcheng, and issued an edict "Guan Return the Taoists, and the Temple is outside the Mountain", and the dispute between the two religions was finally settled.
However, the edict on the hand sent "Qingcheng Mountain" to the water as "Qingcheng Mountain", and many people at that time had doubts about the change of this word, but it turned out that Tang Ming emperor's intentional or unintentional move did very vividly summarize the original appearance of Qingcheng Mountain.
Since then, Mount Qingcheng has become a Taoist holy place surrounded by green mountains.
