"Wu Dang Shan"
Over 5,000 years ago, Zhen Wu, the Taoist god that is worshipped at Wudang temple, came to Wudang mountain to practice internal alchemy. After 42 years he successfully flew during the daytime and became the god of the Northern Heaven; thereby he established the shrine of Wudang Taoism.
About 2,000 years ago the great philosopher and healer, Laozi, and his disciple, Master Yixi, both practiced Taoism on Wudang mountain. This established Wudang mountain as one of the birthplaces of Chinese Taoism.
During the past 2,000 years, many highly venerated people have come to Wudang to settle into stillness and to develop their internal energy and spirits. Yinxi, of the Zhou Dynasty was one of them and so was Yin Changsheng of the Han Dynasty. Xicyong of the Jin Dynasty, Lu Dongbin of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Tuan of the Song Dynasty, Hao Ranzi of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Sanfeng of the Ming Dynasty and Lao Yizi of the Qing Dynasty were also residents of Wudang mountain.
Today over 100 Taoist priests practice internal alchemy and inner spirituality on Wudang mountain.
