Introduction to scenic spots

Qingcheng Mountain is the "fifth cave" of Taoism and one of the earliest birthplaces of Taoism in China. The origin of Chinese Taoism can be traced back to the primitive witchcraft of ancient China, the fairy way of pre Qin Dynasty and the Huanglao way of Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two main branches of Taoism rose in the southwest and north of China, namely wudoumi Dao (also known as Tianshi Dao) established by Zhang Ling in the Western Shu area during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (126-144) and Taiping Dao established by Zhang Jiao in the northern part of the river during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty (168-189). These two branches of Taoism are similar to Huang Lao Dao. They respect the Yellow Emperor and Laozi, believe in the idea of immortals, and mix a lot of witchcraft. The difference is that wudoumi Road, which originated in the Western Shu area, is more primitive wizard, while Taiping Road, which is located in the Central Plains, retains more Huanglao road and Fangxian road colors.
