Second, the name "Wudang" first appeared in Hanshu. In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu (the first 202 years), Wudang County was established.
3. The earliest recorded old fairy in Wudang Mountain was named Yin. In those days, he watched "Purple Gas Coming from the East" in Hanguguan, and soon Lao Tzu passed by and taught him the Tao Te Ching.
After that, Yin wanted to find a place suitable for seclusion, so he found Wudang Mountain. At present, there is Yinxi Rock under Santanmen Mountain in Wudang Mountain, which is the highest place where Yinxi reached Wudang Mountain at that time, looking at Tianzhu Peak with its heart in Luotian.

Historical legends of Wudang Mountain
Legend has it that more than 2,500 years ago, Jingle Country (the so-called Jingle Country) was another name for Gu Junguo, which is now danjiangkou city where Wudang Mountain is located. At that time, there was Jingle Palace, which was submerged when Danjiang Reservoir, now Taiji Lake, was built in the 1950s. ) prince, talented, has no intention of inheriting the throne. At the age of fifteen, he left his parents and went to Wudang Mountain to concentrate on monasticism. Under the guidance of Raven God, he practiced in Wudang for 42 spring and autumn, and finally became an immortal, becoming a generation of heavenly emperors, namely Xuanwu Emperor.
In ancient China, the southeast and northwest of the sky were divided into "four elephants": "East Black Dragon, West White Tiger, South Suzaku and North Xuanwu". The stars in the north are like turtles and snakes. Xuanwu' is a turtle, so it becomes a water god, and because it also dominates the north, it is also the god of the north.
In the Song Dynasty, the word Xuanwu needed to be avoided, so it was renamed Zhenwu. In many cities, there are Zhenwu temples dedicated to Xuanwu Emperor. In the Ming Dynasty, Judy usurped the throne and made its capital. In order to reflect the feudal emperor's concept of "theocracy", he thought of Wudang Mountain to worship the Xuanwu Emperor who dominated the north, which also laid the foundation for the prosperity of Wudang Mountain incense.
Sun Biyun, an old fairy in Zhang Sanfeng, was ordered by Emperor Yongle, the founder of Ming Dynasty, to plan Wudang Mountain as a royal Dojo, and started the first large-scale planning and construction of Wudang Mountain.
Under the planning of Sun Biyun, all the temples in Wudang Mountain conform to the royal regulations, which not only embodies the style of the royal Dojo, but also shows the imperial power according to the mountain situation. It not only shows the mythical color of the legend from Xuanwu Emperor to Wudang Mountain, but also embodies the Taoist thought of "Taoism is natural", which integrates all this. After five years of construction, Taizipo, Zixiao Palace and Nanyan have all been built, and at this time, Sun Biyun also appeared like a fairy.
Since then, the construction of Wudang Mountain has been continued by Emperor Xu Madu of Yongle until the Jin Dian at the top of Wudang Mountain was built. In the Ming Dynasty, the ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain gradually formed a scale after more than ten years, and flourished in the Ming Dynasty, accompanied by the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng, a well-known Taoist practitioner and Taoist researcher at Wudang Daomen, based on the Tao Te Ching, integrated the theories of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, integrated the achievements of Wudang boxing techniques, learned from the advantages of Shaolin Boxing, and integrated martial arts with morality, and established the Taiji Daoism cultivation system-Taiji Chuanfa, which was the driving force of Neidan cultivation. Wudang Wushu school with Zhang Sanfeng as the core has gradually formed, and there is a saying in China Wulin that "Shaolin is worshipped in the north and Wudang is worshipped in the south".
