The origin of Shizhou and Three Islands
Shizhou and Three Islands are two groups of Taoist fairyland names with similar meanings. It originated from the "Three Sacred Mountains" theory of the alchemists during the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties. According to records such as "Historical Records·Fengchan Book", the Eastern Yanqi alchemists said that the three sacred mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou are in the Bohai Sea. There are immortals and immortal medicine on the mountains, and the immortal palaces are made of gold and silver.
King Wei of Qi, King Xuan of Qi, King Zhao of Yan and the First Emperor of Qin successively sent people to the sea to pray for him. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to worship Penglai in the hope of seeking immortals. The emergence of this theory is influenced by the more ancient Western myth of Kunlun Fairy Mountain.
The "Ten Continents" written by Dongfang Shuo, which is named after "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, heard that the Queen Mother of the West said that there are...ten continents in the vast seas in all directions". Its basic structure is to take China as the core and list the relevant continents. , the location and scope of the island and how many thousands of miles it is from China, the growth of immortal mushrooms, the emergence of Liquan, the immortals who govern it, how the people on the island can live forever, etc.
There are also those with Kunlun as the center. For example, "Records of Yuedu Famous Mountains in Dongtian Blessed Land" says: "Ten continents, three islands, and five mountains are all located on the four sides of Kunlun and in the huge sea. They are the residence of gods and the jurisdiction of the Five Emperors. , it’s not where people from the world come.”
