The history of Qian Shan
Far away from the northeast of the Central Plains, there is a Qian Shan comparable to the five mountains of Mount Tai and Huashan in the Central Plains.
Geographically, Qian Shan is located in the southeast of Anshan City, Liaoning Province 17km, with a total of about 999 peaks, so it is called "Qian Shan" by the world, and it is praised by the northeast people as "eight thousand roads in the South China Sea and the first mountain in Liaodong".
Since ancient times, beautiful scenery has been a godsend for Taoist practice, where Taoist family members can better absorb the weather, drink the spring water of the earth, return to nature and become immortals.
According to Qian Shan's ancient books, Taoism was officially introduced to Qian Shan in the early Ming Dynasty, and the mainstream school is Quanzhen Taoism, which is well known to us. In the following hundreds of years, Taoism gave birth to more than 20 temples and temples in Qian Shan, and finally formed the scene of Qian Shan Palace filled with cigarettes, bells ringing and a crowd of immortals blessed. Among them, infinite view is the most representative one. The Records of Liaoyang County records that there were more than 100 Taoist priests in the infinite view of Longmen Sect of Quanzhen religion at that time. To this end, the local government specially gave Taoist priests "food and clothing" to show the court's encouragement to Taoism. This boundless observation was founded during the reign of Kangxi. According to Iron Sand Mountain, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Taoist priests Liu Tailin and Wang Taixiang went to Qian Shan to enlighten Taoism and create an infinite view.
In addition to the Dragon Sect, Sun, a descendant of Huashan Sect of Quanzhen Sect, also entered the mountain during the Qianlong period, and Yan Qinghong, a descendant of Penglai Sect, also entered the mountain one after another during the Jiaqing period. Up to now, Qian Shan has gathered all the mainstream schools of Quanzhen religion in Northeast China, and many schools in one mountain have been preserved to this day, which is called one of the holy places of Quanzhen religion by the world.
The golden bell rang on the hillside. When you enter the temple, smell the incense of jade furnace first, and look back with flowers. You are half qualified to cultivate and half qualified to be a gentleman.
