China is blessed with ancient caves.

China's ancient culture is extensive and profound, with three schools: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. In China, Yi Tong after Sui and Tang Dynasties, the three major literary schools developed unprecedentedly, and the three religions merged in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Confucianism established academies in the mountains, accepted disciples and taught sex; Taoism takes famous mountains and rivers as a paradise, builds temple buildings, takes medicine and makes an alchemy, and achieves immortality. Buddhism also takes secluded places as missionary Dojo, builds temples in the jungle, preaches scriptures, and practices meditation to become a Buddha. They influence people's views on mountains and rivers through ideological infiltration, or expand the social influence of their sect through the creation of humanistic landscape. There are various academies, Taoist temples, temples, famous Buddhist mountains, Taoist lists and scenic mountains in China.

Taoism

Taoism is a traditional religion born and raised in China. It has accompanied the history of China for thousands of years. It not only inherits China's ancient primitive religious thought, Huang Lao's thought, Taoist philosophy and immortal thought, but also integrates taboos, yin and yang, five elements and other theories. At the same time, it also absorbed folk witchcraft and magic. The highest ideal of Daoism is to achieve Daoism and become immortal, and to pursue an immortal realm beyond life and death and time and space. Immortals live in ten continents, three islands and countless caves and disasters. Ten continents and three islands on the sea, three islands Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou, have a cave and a blessed land. There are ten holes, thirty-six holes and seventy-two blessed places. Taoism believes that fairyland is guided by immortals or real people, and most of them are places where immortals and real people can get the Tao. Taoist priests usually come here to make a living and cultivate immortality. Later, these places successively established the concept of Taoist priests who practiced monasticism, offered sacrifices and held religious activities. The harmonious combination of quiet natural landscape and grand Taoist tutor view has formed today's famous Taoist mountains.

Xanadu is a part of Taoist fairyland, which is dominated by famous mountains or mountains and rivers. People believe that there are immortals here, and all immortals live here. If Taoist priests practice here or climb mountains and beg, they can become immortals. In a word, "Tianxue" is a cave with a hole in the mountain. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Taoist scriptures said, "There are caves in the five famous mountains." The names of the top ten caves listed correspond to the top ten caves. "The True Letters Patent" refers to Qushan (Maoshan), "the cave is empty and introverted, with a spiritual mansion inside, ... the empty east window is empty, and the cabin in the forest is separated by the stacks, ... the real cave fairy hall is also". Tao Hongjing note cloud:

"Qing Xu is the name of the King's Cave. It is said that Huayang and Bi are connected." Both books say that Qushan is also known as Jintan. "There is Jintan in the cave, which is famous all over the world", that is, "cave" refers to the cave. "blessed land" means blessed land, that is, living here can bless the world and become a fairy. According to Tao Jing, Qushan (also known as Difei Mountain, one of the 72 blessed places) "If you live in the land of the moon, you will see peace in the world." Most of them are caves and springs, which has something to do with the concept of Feng Shui. Most of the blessed places listed in Taoist books are immortals and real people, which is second only to caves.

The concept of "a land blessed with a cave" was formed before the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Taoist scriptures and true beliefs compiled by the immortals of the Shangqing school all mentioned "ten holes in the sky" and "thirty-six holes in the earth". Taoist Scriptures are also called Blessed Land Taoist Scriptures and Blessed Land Taoist Scriptures in Kong Qiu. Since the Warring States Period, the sayings of "Sanshen Mountain" and "Kunlun Mountain" have been widely circulated, but Sanshen Mountain is a fairyland in the sea and Kunlun Mountain is far away in the west. After the formation of Taoism, the magnificent scenery, steep peaks, secluded caves and valleys, streams flowing out of the caves and changeable weather of the mountains, combined with the original legends, gradually formed the concept that there is a paradise among the famous mountains in the world. Early Taoist scriptures, such as Bao Puzi's inner chapter, really believe that if you want to become immortal, you have to beg, live in the mountains or take medicine. Ge Hong introduced immortal scriptures, including Huashan Mountain, Taishan Mountain, Huoshan Mountain, Hengshan Mountain, Songshan Mountain, Shaoshi Mountain, Changshan Mountain, Taibai Mountain, Zhong Nanshan Mountain, Daughter Mountain, Difei Mountain, King of Wu, Baodu Mountain, Anqiu Mountain, Buried Hill, Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, Washan Mountain, Yuntaishan Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Yangjiashan Mountain and Huang Jinshan. Grass grows on the ground, which can avoid the disaster of soldiers, not only in the combination of Chinese and Israeli medicine, "but also many are considered by Taoism as Xanadu."

According to Taoism, heaven, earth, water and even people are all in one breath; Wonderland is also "made of gas", which is connected with each other to form a three-dimensional network intertwined vertically and horizontally;

But because of the different temperament, it is different from top to bottom. Therefore, the preface to heaven and earth palace wrote:

"Nothing, because of trance; The gas element begins to rush and depends on the fractal. The essence is mysterious, and the palace is in the Qing Dynasty; Hidden deep in seclusion, the cave opens in a famous mountain. ..... If you are sincere and diligent, then the immortals should be able to pick it up; If you practice your internal skills hard, the crane will rise and live for a long time. As for Tiandong District, the height is different; The real spiritual class is different. " The Preface to the Famous Mountains in Du Yue, a Blessed Land in the Cave, also said: "When Gankun blooms, the turbidity melts into the river, becomes a mountain, or matches Chen Su, or hides in the cave. If the Great Sage really dominates it, then there are Gong Ling Yuefu and Yuyu Jintai. Or made of gas, clouds are imaginary; Or jade pond green powder, note in the four corners; Or pearl trees and noble forests, ignore it. The product of flying phoenix, the habitat of horses. Or the sun passes by, or the stars are bound; Including wind and rain, clouds and thunder, it is the pivot of heaven and earth and the axis of yin and yang. " According to this theory, there are fairyland not only in the sky, but also in Shanghai. There are fairy mountains not only in Shanghai but also in the sky. The fairy mountain in the sky was transformed by the true qi and sent down to the palace.

Fairyland is the fairy mountain on the ground, including ten caves, thirty-six caves and seventy-two fairyland, which constitutes the main part of Taoist fairyland on the ground. In addition, Taoists also worship the blasphemous Wuhai Town, 36 th and 24 th Branches. And all the five mountains in China are contained in this cave.

There are many solid points in the cave. Taoist priests in past dynasties built palaces and practiced diligently, leaving behind many human landscapes, historical sites and myths and legends.
