Lao Shan, the mountain on the sea
Located in the southeast of Shandong Peninsula,
Qingdao is the Lao Shan in the eastern Lao Shan county,
with an area of about 300 square kilometers.
It faces the sea, with strong winds,
also known as Lao Ding,
at an altitude of 1,133 meters,
which is the highest peak along the coastline of China.
Lao Shan is also called Lao Shan,
Lao Shan, Fu Tang Shan, Ao Shan.
The origin of the name of the mountain
is probably related to the arrival of Emperor Qin Shi Huang on this mountain.
The Tai Ping Huan Yu of the Song Dynasty,
is said to be Emperor Shi Huang Deng Lao Sheng,
Wang Peng Lai,
Lao Yu Zhi,
and Ming Lao,
and Qu Zhi Bu Dong,
also known as Lao.
According to Yan Wu,
Qin Huang Deng Zhi,
is the origin of BiWan Ren,
which is the origin of Lao Shan.
The officials obeyed,
thousands of people worked hard,
and then went to work.
It is said to be a field,
with a few counties,
four years of hard work,
thousands of miles of work,
and then went to work.
So the people of Qin,
Qu Zhi,
and also known as Lao Shan.
During the Tang Xuanzong period,
Emperor Xu Wang specially went to Lao Shan
to practice the medicine of longevity,
and named Lao Shan as Fu Tang Shan.
In the Yuan Dynasty,
Quanzhen sent the real person Qiu Chuji
to build this mountain,
which looks like a giant mountain,
and named it Ao Shan.
There is a poem,
Lao Shan was originally Ao Shan,
the center of the sea,
and could not be climbed.
God ordered to cultivate the fruit,
so a fairy went into the world.
The Qing Dynasty was officially named Lao Shan.
Lao Shan has long been known as
the mountain of the sea,
the house of the gods,
the house of the spirit.
It is recorded in history,
during the Spring and Autumn War,
there was a fairy named An Qisheng,
who sold medicine by the sea of Langya County.
It is said that he ate a big jujube.
He later became a fairy,
lived for thousands of years,
and was called Qian Sui Wang.
When Qin Shi Huang was looking for Langya,
he had met An Qisheng,
and talked secretly for three days and three nights.
When An Qisheng left,
he left a message to Qin Shi Huang,
and a thousand years later,
he asked me to go to Penglai Mountain.
Later, Qin Shi Huang,
in order to find the fairy An Qisheng
and the medicine of longevity,
had sent Fang Shi Xu Fu to lead people
to board the ship and enter the sea,
but did not return.
When Xi Han Wu Di,
Wu Di personally came here to worship,
he hoped to meet the fairy.
Such a well-known place
is the home of many cultivators.
Since Qin Han,
there have been people who have cultivated here.
For example, Zhang Lian Fu of Xi Han,
Xu Wang of Tang Shi,
Yue Zheng Zi Chang of Song Dynasty,
Liu Ruozhuo, Zhen Qizhen, etc.
According to the records of the Ming Emperor Zongchang Laoshan,
I don't know where Yue Zheng Zi Chang is from.
I once met an immortal in Laoshan,
and the immortal taught him the Jusheng Chishan method.
After he took it,
he was over 180 years old
and looked like a child.
Then he went deep into Laoshan,
and I don't know where he was,
but he probably became an immortal.
Qianlong Shan Dong Tong Zhijuan for 30 years,
Zhen Xizhen, a good woman in Danzhou,
came to Laoshan to visit the Tao
because he was in a bad situation.
Later on, he officially cultivated,
and his face gradually changed.
Now is the heyday of Laoshan Taoism,
and many Taoists have come to this mountain to cultivate.
The most famous Taoist is Qiu Chuji,
one of the Seven Realms of Quanzhen Daobei.
In addition, there are Li Zhiming, Liu Zhijian,
Wang Jia, Sun Bu-er, etc.
Li Zhiming, a Taoist from Quanzhen,
lived in Shangqing Palace for 12 years
and Mingxia Cave,
Kunlun Mountain in the south of Laoshan,
for 25 years.
It is said that he was 80 years old,
and his steps were still light.
There are nearly 500 disciples,
and I don't know where they are.
Wang Jialu, a new adult,
entered Laoshan to cultivate when he was young,
and met Taoists to teach him the art of Wuqin.
After a long time of cultivation,
he stopped eating food,
and sometimes ate pine leaves.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,
Laoshan Taoism continued to develop,
and there were another group of Taoists to cultivate.
For example, Xu Fuyang, Zhang Sanfeng, Li Shouzhen, etc.
Laoshan Zhijunwu records that
Xu Fuyang, Hao Taihezi,
once received the secret message from Li Lingxian,
and later settled in Heshan and Zhen'an
to cultivate to become a deity.
Zhang Sanfeng came from Qingzhou
and later lived in Laoshan for a period of time.
There is a record of Zhangxianta, Lata Shi, etc.
Li Shouzhen, Tengxianren, Shaoyou Laoshan,
and Yirenshou cultivated to become a deity.
Many Taoists cultivate here,
and naturally there are many deities,
mainly reflected in the temple.
The earliest temple built on Laoshan
was Taiqinggong built in the Western Han Dynasty.
Emperor Taizu Jianlong
ordered to rebuild Taiqinggong in the summer of the same year,
and used it as a place for cultivation.
During the Song Dynasty,
a large number of palaces were built,
such as Shangqinggong, Taipinggong,
Baifu'an, Shifu'an, etc.
In the Yuan Dynasty,
Laoshan also built a number of palaces,
such as Yingzhenguan, Tongzhengong,
Hualougong, Huangshigong, Zhongxiangong,
Yuzhen'an, Shengshui'an, etc.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties,
Laoshan has built palaces
outside of Xiuqi
to build new palaces.
In addition,
in Taiqinggong in the north,
there is also Huayan Temple,
Yugu Stone, Luoyanku,
Baxian Stone, Qipan Stone,
Ming Daoguan, etc.
In the east of Hualougong,
there is the Juxiantai,
where the Baxians gathered at sea.
The ancients thought that
Laoshan was the sea,
Baifu was the plain,
Jushi was the mountain,
Xunfeng was the cliff,
Zhendong was the heaven and earth,
and Yifang was the holy land.
There is a poem by Li Bai.
Wang Wushan, Meng Darong,
has written a book
about the story of Laoshan.
On the east sea of the West,
Laoshan is full of children.
Seeing Anqigong in person,
sooner or later I will be like a melon.
Mid-autumn night, Han people
are not in a hurry to return home.
Zhu Yan, Xie Chunhui,
have white hair and sharp teeth.
Suoqi rides a cloud carriage
I would like to follow Fu Zitian
on the cloud carriage
and spend time with the fairies.
