Who has lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan, the largest seclusion in China?

Zhongnanshan, also known as Taiyi Mountain, is commonly known as Nanshan. It is about 230 kilometers long, 55 kilometers wide, narrow 15 kilometers, and covers an area of about 485 1 square kilometer. Since ancient times, many people have lived in seclusion. Let's see what they have.

Hermits have a variety of lifestyles, all over the valley. Some are huts, some are caves and some are simple houses. There are humanists and Buddhists practicing here, and their residences will all bear the symbol of this Sect. If you are a Taoist practitioner, you will read "live a long life without borders"; If you are a Buddhist, read "Amitabha".

For example, a northeastern Taoist priest, Huang Daoshi, lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Caotang all the year round. He seldom goes down the mountain. He opened up vegetable fields near the thatched cottage and dug a vegetable cellar to store vegetables. Rice-flour oil was given by good men and women at the foot of the mountain. They called it "offering".

Nanshan is one of the cradles of Taoism. During the reign of King Kang of Chu, astronomer and astrologer Yin Wei was in the valley of letters. Later, when he saw Zi Qi coming from the east and Jixing going west, he had a hunch that there would be saints passing by, waiting for Guan Zhong. Soon, an old man dressed in colorful clouds came riding a green cow. It turned out that Lao Tzu swam westward into Qin. Yin invited Lao Tzu to Louguan, held a ceremony to accept disciples, and asked him to give lectures and write books. Lao Tzu told Yin the 5,000-word Tao Te Ching on Gaogang in the south of the building, and then drifted away. According to legend, today's Louguantai lecture platform is the place where Laozi lectured, and later Yin lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan.

Wang Zhongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Daoism, also gained enlightenment in Zhong Nanshan. Zhong Nanshan is a treasure house of Taoism, and the lofty morality of Taoism in past dynasties makes the practitioners of later generations want to be blessed. Since ancient times, there have been many Taoist hermits living in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan, where the environment of cultivating truth and preserving health is strong. People who want to cultivate truth and preserve their health have found these people with real skills and stayed in Zhong Nanshan to practice. The internship atmosphere in Zhong Nanshan is good, so they are increasing and gradually forming a virtuous circle.
