The origin of ten continents and three islands
Ten continents and three islands are two groups of Taoist fairyland names with similar meanings. The theory of "Three-God Mountain" originated from alchemists in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties. According to Records of the Historical Records and the Closed Sutra, the Oriental Yanqi alchemist said that Penglai, the abbot and Yingzhou are three sacred mountains in the Bohai Sea, where there are immortals and medicines, and the palaces of immortals are all made of gold and silver.
Qi Weiwang, Qi Xuanwang, Yan Zhaowang and Qin Shihuang all sent people to the sea to pray for God, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also looked forward to worshipping Penglai and the immortals. The emergence of this theory was influenced by the older myth of the fairy mountain in Kunlun.
The so-called "Ten Kingdoms" written by Dong Fangshuo, the so-called "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that the Queen Mother of the West said that there was ..." Four Seas and Ten Continents ",the basic structure of which is based on China, listing the location and scope of the mainland and islands, and some Wan Li from China, where fairy tales were born, immortals began to participate in spring, and how people on the island can live forever.
There are also Kunlun as the center. For example, in the "Records of Famous Mountains in Du Yue", it is said: "Ten continents, three islands and five mountains are all in the four directions of Kunlun. In the huge sea, immortals live, and the five emperors are reasonable, which is beyond the reach of the world."
