Taoism in Laoshan Mountain has a long history. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were activities of Taoism and alchemists, and Taoist theory was also very prosperous.

In the first year of God Blessing in Tang Zhaozong (AD 904), Li Zhexuan, a Taoist priest from Luofu Mountain, came to the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan Mountain to build the Three Emperors Hall, dedicated to three vivid figures in ancient China: Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan. By the Northern Song Dynasty, there were four Taoist temples in Laoshan Mountain, namely Taiqing Palace, Taiping Xingguo Palace, Shangqing Palace and Shen Qing Palace.

Since the Song Dynasty, the Taoist temple architecture in Laoshan changed its former appearance, and the scale and momentum of the building reached a fairly high level, ranking first in the country at that time.

In the first year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 195), Quanzhen's seven sons came to the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan, especially after Genghis Khan made the mountain a "fairy" and gave the golden tiger charm to take charge of the world's religions, the development of Taoism in Laoshan entered its heyday. After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xie Li and Xie An, two concubines of the last emperor, came to Taiping Xingguo Hospital in Laoshan to study anonymously. Xie Tiao incorporated the court music of the Song Dynasty into the Taoist music of Laoshan, which played a great role in the development of Taoist rhyme and Taoist music of Laoshan, and also had a great influence on the later Taoist music of Laoshan and local folk music.

During the Jin, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Taoist activities in Laoshan increased, and the number of Taoists in various parts of Laoshan also increased sharply during this period. The temples built in the Yuan Dynasty include: Hualou Palace, Yuqing Palace, Juxian Palace, Huangshi Palace, Yuzhen Palace, Ningzhen Temple and Dalao Temple.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Wanru and Yang Yanji, the imperial concubines of the Ming Dynasty, came to Laoshan to become Taoist priests, and once again enriched the court music into the Taoist music of Laoshan, making Laoshan the most famous Taoist music base in the north from the early Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.

In the long river of Taoist culture, Laoshan Mountain has attracted generations of "favored children" such as Qin Huang, Hanwu, Tang Zong, Song Zu and Genghis Khan. It also attracted a large number of literati, gifted scholars, dignitaries and literati, leaving countless poems, songs and calligraphy and stone carvings for Laoshan. Laoshan Taoism inherits, perfects and develops excellent cultures such as Chinese medicine, health preservation, qigong, martial arts, philosophy, religious culture and Taoist music, and has made indelible contributions to the development of Chinese national culture.
